METHODS OF USING A DEGRADABLE COMPONENT IN A WELLBORE AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF FORMING SUCH COMPONENTS

摘要

Methods of using a component in a subterranean wellbore include positioning a component including a degradable thermoset polymer material in a wellbore location, obstructing flow with the component, exposing the component to an acidic solution to degrade the selectively degradable thermoset polymer material and to remove the component from the wellbore location, and flowing a fluid through the wellbore location where the component was positioned. Methods of forming a component of a wellbore system include forming at least a portion of the component to comprise a degradable thermoset polymer material. Wellbore systems include at least one component including a selectively degradable thermoset polymer material. The selectively degradable thermoset polymer material may be a polyhexahydrotriazine (“PHT”) material.

1. A method of using a component in a subterranean wellbore, the method comprising:
positioning a component comprising a degradable thermoset polymer in a wellbore location; obstructing, with the component, flow of a fluid through the wellbore location without degrading the degradable thermoset polymer; exposing the component to an acidic solution to degrade the degradable thermoset polymer and to remove the component from the wellbore location; and flowing a fluid through the wellbore location where the component was positioned.
