Abstract: One method includes temporarily sealing and isolating a portion of a wellbore with a reusable sealing and isolation element, performing a fracturing process in the portion of the wellbore that is isolated, and after the fracturing process is complete, unsealing or de-isolating the portion of the wellbore by temporarily changing a configuration of the reusable sealing and isolation element. Use of the reusable sealing and isolation element may reduce, or eliminate, the need for remediation operations, such as the removal of sealing plugs.

Abstract: Lightweight construction panels, such as gypsum plaster-board, are commonly used to provide internal partitions in buildings It is known to cover, either partially or fully, the panel with an aqueous material such as gypsum plaster or jointing compound. It has been found that known panels expand when they absorb water. This gives rise to several undesirable results such as the gypsum plaster or jointing compound cracking as the panel expands as moisture is absorbed. The present invention provides a panel comprising a gypsum matrix including fibres in an amount of at least 0.8 wt % relative to the gypsum, a polymeric additive in an amount of at least 0.8 wt % relative to the gypsum, and at least one phosphate additive. A panel having such a composition has been found to have desirable characteristics.
