Abstract

A sealing system is provided for use in a wellbore(1) formed in an earth formation whereby a stream of fluid produced from the earth formation (6) flows through the wellbore to surface (3). The sealing system comprises a sealing device (18) arranged to seal a selected portion of the wellbore from the stream of produced fluid, a compound arranged to be absorbed by fluid from the earth formation entering the stream of produced fluid via the selected wellbore portion, and detection means (16) operable to detect said compound in the stream of produced fluid.
