Provided is a degradable seal member for downhole tools, the member being formed from a degradable polymer material that is preferred to be a thermoplastic polymer material or a polymer material including an ester bond, an amide bond, or a urethane bond, and that is further preferred to be a polymer material that contains an aliphatic polyester. It is preferred that the degradable seal member exhibits a bending elastic modulus of 0.01 to 8 GPa at 23° C., further preferred that a stable state is maintained in a dry environment and that degradation in a fluid of a temperature not less than 66° C. is possible, and also preferred that a molded article has an annular shape. Also provided are a downhole tool such as a plug for well drilling and completion, and a method of well drilling and completion. |
