Abstract

See full text

A plug for well drilling includes a mandrel and at least one diametrically expandable annular rubber member and at least one slip disposed on an outer circumferential surface orthogonal to an axial direction of the mandrel; (i) the mandrel being formed from a degradable material; and (ii) the at least one diametrically expandable annular rubber member being formed from a degradable rubber material having a rate of decrease of not less than 5% in 50% strain compressive stress after immersion in water at a temperature of 150° C. for 24 hours relative to the compressive stress before immersion; and/or having a rate of loss of mass of from 5 to 100% after immersion in water at a temperature of 150° C. for 72 hours relative to the mass before immersion. A well drilling method includes a step of isolating a borehole using the plug for well drilling, part or all of the plug being degraded thereafter.
