DIVERTER PLUGS FOR USE IN WELL BORES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF USE

摘要

Zonal isolation of well bores is often desirable for performing downhole operations such as stimulation operations. In certain embodiments, diverter plugs (310) for achieving zonal isolation in a casing string (330) in a well bore may comprise a mandrel (313) having a first end and a second end; a compressible body (315) attached to and surrounding a longitudinal portion of the mandrel; and a sealing nose (317) attached to the first end of the mandrel. In certain embodiments, systems for achieving zonal isolation of a casing string in a well bore may comprise a diverter plug comprising a mandrel having a first end and a second end, a compressible body attached to and surrounding a longitudinal portion of the mandrel, and a sealing nose attached to the first end of the mandrel; and a landing collar (323) sized to mate with a portion of the sealing nose of the diverter plug. Associated methods are also provided.
