  • Plug formed from a disintegrate on demand (DOD) material
    Patent number: 10907429
    Abstract: A tubular includes an outer surface and an inner surface defining a passage. A plug is arranged in the tubular blocking the passage. The plug is formed from a disintegrating on demand (DOD) material. An ignition device is coupled to the plug. An excitation mechanism is selectively operatively associated with the ignition device. The excitation mechanism selectively activates the ignition device to break apart the plug.

  • BALL SEATS HAVING SEAL INTERFACE ELEMENT FOR PROLONGING THE SEAL BETWEEN BALL AND SEAT IN CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS AND METHODS OF USING SAME
    Publication number: 20130140479
    Abstract: Apparatuses for restricting fluid flow through a well conduit comprise a tubular member, a seat, a plug element, and a seal interface element comprising a seal interface material. The seal interface material resists or retards corrosion by a corroding fluid of the portion of the sealing interface between the plug element and the seat. The seal interface material may be acid-resistant, hydrogen sulfide resistant, and/or the like depending on the type of corroding fluid that is present in the tubular member.
