A tubing plug is adapted for insertion into a tubing string for sealing the tubing string. The tubing plug is comprised of a housing having an outer surface, wherein the housing is adapted for insertion in the tubing string such that an annulus is define d between the tubing string and the outer surface of the housing and wherein the housing defines a fluid passage therethrough, the fluid passage having an upper end and a lower end. A seali ng mechanism is associated with the housing for sealing the annulus and a two-way fluid bypa ss is provided for selectively permitting a flow of a fluid across the sealing mechanism. Finally, a one-way valve is located at the lower end of the fluid passage for selectively permitting a flow of a fluid in a first direction from the upper end to the lower end of the fluid passage and for preventing a flow of a fluid in a second direction from the lower end to the upper end of the fluid passage.
