De quoi s'agit-il ici ? D'accumulation/charge superficielle ? (semble convenir au numéro 2)
Pourrait-il être question de coiffage de puits / de recouvrement ? (numéro 1)
D'autre part, voici la définition de 'to mudcap' que j'ai trouvée : a blasting method in which explosive is placed on the surface of a rock fragment and covered with mud or clay
Merci pour vos suggestions !

coiffe
coiffage is the official term for capping (1st ref)
also in Dictionnaire du forage et des puits/Dictionary of Drilling and Boreholes (looked on paper, could not find it online in Google books)
http://www.amazon.fr/Dictionnaire-Forage-Puits-Dictionary-Bo...
The translation of cap is much more general chapeau, couverture, but for well you will also find "capped well" puits coiffé

So I think in both your instances, that's the sort of thing it is referring to: blocking off a well.
Note that your 'mudcap' issue is nothing directly to do with it here, that definition being for a very specific and restrictive use.
