Abstract
Methods of plugging a hydrocarbon well by using degradable plugs plus a degradable tape to ensure pressure testing to 10,000 psi. When the plug is no longer needed, a degradation fluid or fluids are pumped downhole and that fluid or fluids degrade the degradable plugs and degradable tape, thus avoiding the production of any solids large enough to clog or block equipment.
