Abstract:
A tieback assembly for insertion into a wellbore may include a tieback stem seal, a check valve, and a circulating sub. The tieback stem seal may be engaged into a tieback receptacle of a liner in the wellbore and may isolate an annular space of the wellbore. The circulating sub may pass kill fluid from the tieback assembly into the annular space of the wellbore. The check valve may control a flow of fluid. A method of isolating an annular space of a wellbore may include inserting a tieback assembly into the wellbore, engaging the tieback stem seal of the tieback assembly at a tieback receptacle of a liner in the wellbore, passing a kill fluid into the annular space of the wellbore, and displacing an annulus fluid in the annular space of the wellbore with the kill fluid to isolate the annular space of the wellbore.
