Abstract

A system and method including modeling wellbore conditions and plug properties to predetermine the dissolution time of a plug under wellbore conditions for use in a well operation. The system and method provide an estimate of how long a dissolvable plug will remain viable based on its composition and the conditions in the wellbore. Once a plug has been selected or once wellbore conditions have been determined, the plug and/or conditions can be tested in the lab to confirm suitability prior to use downhole.
