Abstract
A dissolvable frac plug is disclosed. The dissolvable frac plug has an internal chamber surrounded by an external wall with the chamber containing a dry powder component in an amount sufficient to combine with ground water or other wellbore fluids to form a solution or environment that enhances dissolution of the plug. The dry powder is released from the chamber as a portion or portions of the external wall dissolves due to contact with water or other wellbore fluids.
