    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sealing and filling at least a portion of a well is disclosed. This may form a part of a well abandoning operation. In particular, according to the present disclosure, a tube containing well filler material is connected to a bridge plug by a tube-plug connector wherein the bridge plug can be positioned by moving the tube and then anchored. Once the bridge plug is anchored, the tube is disconnected and the well filler may be discharged into the well above the anchored bridge plug. In this way, the bridge plug anchoring and the filling of at least a portion of the well can be performed in a single run.
