Am I figuring right that sealing off or otherwise pausing an operation is a different man power concern outside of the usual steam chief , electrical engineer etc operating crew? Is it possible to physically shutter these well sites if this lingers for a long time or even gets worse?

Is there a situation where the need to limit or stop production reaches some urgency?

I'm trying to understand how it works operationally.

It really depends on what is being shut in.
Some operations it's really as easy as clicking on a computer screen, and you can leave them down for however you like, and turn them back on with a single click.

For others, like thermal operations, there would be a lot more work to shut things in properly and try to limit formation damage, if you even could.

There's no single answer to "What does it take to shut wells in".
