Disintegrable centralizer

摘要

A system including a first component, a second component disposed radially adjacent to the first component, and a centralizer disposed between the first component and the second component for at least partially filling a radial clearance between the first component and the second component. The centralizer is formed at least partially from a disintegrable material responsive to a selected fluid. A method of completing a borehole is also included.

1. A system comprising:
a mill; an outer casing disposed radially adjacent to the mill; and a centralizer disposed between the mill and the outer casing, the centralizer comprising one or more deformable elements that radially extend under axial compression, the centralizer formed at least partially from a disintegrable material responsive to a selected fluid; wherein the centralizer is operatively arranged to transition from a first set of dimensions suitable for running the centralizer into a desired location to a second set of dimensions that is radially expanded with respect to the first set, and wherein the mill is operatively arranged to assist in transitioning the centralizer from the first set of dimensions to the second set of dimensions.
