    Abstract: Provided are sealing elements useful for isolating or diverting segments of a well in a hydraulic fracturing operation. These sealing elements resist the extreme temperatures and pressures encountered within a well, yet can be degraded or dissolved when no longer needed without use of hazardous acids or other chemicals. The sealing elements are made from a composite containing one or more resins of polylactic acid combined with a degradant that can be customized to provide facile degradation of the sealing element over a wide range of operative temperatures and pressures. These compositions may optionally include a swellant that causes the sealing element to expand after being seated against a well perforation or passageway to provide an enhanced seal.

    Abstract translation: 提供了用于在水力压裂操作中隔离或转向井段的密封元件。 这些密封元件抵抗井内遇到的极端温度和压力,但在不使用危险的酸或其他化学物质的情况下不再需要时可能会降解或溶解。 密封元件由含有一种或多种与降解物结合的聚乳酸树脂的复合材料制成,所述树脂可以定制以在宽范围的操作温度和压力下提供密封元件的容易降解。 这些组合物可以任选地包括溶胀剂,其使得密封元件在靠着穿孔或通道就座以提供增强的密封之后膨胀。
