Methods of sealing a wellbore include sequentially displacing a first
sealant composition and a second sealant composition different from the
first sealant composition into the wellbore, followed by allowing the
first and second sealant compositions to set. In an embodiment, the first
and second sealant compositions are pulse injected into the wellbore. The
first and second sealant compositions may be arranged in an alternating,
stratified pattern in the wellbore. A mechanical property of the set
first sealant composition and the same mechanical property of the set
second sealant composition have substantially different values. As such,
an impermeable, stratified structure comprising the set sealant
compositions is formed that may resist failure when at least one of them
is subjected to a mechanical stress.
