Abstract:
Methods of removing two or more isolation devices is provided. An example method includes introducing two or more isolation devices into a wellbore comprising at least two wellbore intervals. Each isolation device comprises a substance and each of the substances degrades within the wellbore. The degradation rate of each of the substances causes fluid communication to be restored between the wellbore intervals in a desired amount of time. The method further includes causing or allowing each of the substances to degrade.
