Zusammenfassung:	Shunt closures with a compensating piston and methods of using the same. An example shunt closure includes a compensator piston disposed between an oil chamber and a piston chamber and configured to translate towards the piston chamber to allow for an increase in the volume of the oil chamber. The shunt closure also includes a piston coupling connected to the compensator piston; wherein a portion of the piston coupling is configured to translate into the piston chamber upon translation of the compensator piston. The shunt closure further includes the piston chamber configured to house a portion of the piston coupling and the oil chamber configured to house an oil. Thermal expansion of the oil applies pressure to the compensator piston. The shunt closure also includes a shunt isolation sleeve coupled to and adjacent to the piston chamber.
