摘要

A method of deploying a downhole tool into a wellbore (5) includes: lowering a cable (130) into the wellbore; after lowering the cable, engaging a mold (200) with an outer surface of the cable; injecting sealant (250) into the mold and into armor (138i,o) of the cable, thereby sealing a portion (150) of the cable; lowering the downhole tool to a deployment depth using the cable; engaging a seal with the sealed portion of the cable; and operating the downhole tool using the cable.
