Abstract
Systems and methods for restricting fluid flow in a casing conduit, including a wellbore 32 that extends within a subterranean formation 22, a casing string 42 that extends within the wellbore and defines a portion of the casing conduit, a plurality of motion-arresting structures 100 that project from an inner surface of the casing string 42 to define a plurality of reduced-area regions of the casing conduit, and an autonomous sealing device 150 that defines a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration. The methods include conveying the autonomous sealing device 150 through the casing conduit, determining that the autonomous sealing device is located within a target portion of the casing conduit, expanding the autonomous sealing device to the expanded configuration, retaining the autonomous sealing device on a selected motion-arresting structure 100, and restricting fluid flow within the casing conduit 42 with the autonomous sealing device.
