Abstract: A ball-in-place plug configured to isolate formation zones within a wellbore includes an anchoring subassembly configured to secure the ball-in-place plug in the wellbore and a flow control subassembly configured to control the flow of fluid through the plug. The flow control subassembly is configured to allow bidirectional flow of fluid through the ball-in-place plug before the ball-in-place plug is activated, and wherein the flow control subassembly is configured to permit only unidirectional flow of fluid through the ball-in-place plug after the ball-in-place plug is activated.
