Dissolvable frac plugs, also known as dissolvable bridge plugs or dissolvable frac balls, are used in hydraulic fracturing operations in oil and gas wells. These plugs are designed to isolate different sections of the wellbore during the fracturing process and are used to create multiple fracture stages.
The primary purpose of these frac plugs is to temporarily seal off a section of the wellbore to allow for the controlled injection of high-pressure fracturing fluids. Once the desired pressure and volume of fluid have been injected, the plugs are expected to dissolve or disintegrate, allowing the fluids to flow through and initiating fractures in the targeted formation.
The use of these dissolvable plugs has become increasingly popular in hydraulic fracturing operations due to their potential cost savings, operational efficiencies, and reduced environmental footprint compared to conventional mechanical plugs.
