    Abstract: An element is deployed within tubing extending to a downhole tool. The downhole tool includes a hydraulic tool and a valve coupled between the conveyance string and the hydraulic tool. The valve includes a valve seat having a passage directing the fluid from the conveyance string to the hydraulic tool. Deploying the element includes landing the element on the valve seat such that the element substantially obstructs flow of the fluid through the valve seat passage. The valve is opened to direct the flow of the fluid around the hydraulic tool, wherein opening the valve utilizes pressure generated in response to the element obstructing the flow of the fluid through the valve seat passage. At least a portion of at least one of the element and the valve seat is then degraded by an amount sufficient to permit the element to pass through the valve seat passage.

    Abstract: A pressure disintegrable device includes a first volume that further includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion transmits, to the second portion, pressure applied to the first volume. The melting temperature of the second portion, in response to the transmitted pressure, decreases as the transmitted pressure increases beyond a predetermined pressure. The pressure disintegrable device may also include a layer on the first volume that creates a seal between the first volume and an external structure

    Abstract: Compositions, apparatus incorporating a composition, and methods of use are described, one composition embodiment consisting essentially of one or more reactive metals in major proportion, and one or more alloying elements in minor proportion, with the provisos that the composition is high-strength, controllably reactive, and degradable under defined conditions. Compositions of the invention may exist in a variety of morphologies, including a reactive metal or degradable alloy processed into an alloy of crystalline, amorphous or mixed structure that may constitute the matrix of other composition, for instance a composite. Methods of using apparatus comprising a composition, particularly in oilfield operations are also described (e.g. flow and displacement control, sensors, actuators). This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
