Abstract
A contingency measure for wireline conveyed installation methods, generally for oil and gas completions, and more specifically in plug and perforation completions. A fracturing (frac) plug has a ported sleeve and a seat that allows a valve mechanism to seat against the apparatus with the application of fluid flow. The plug allows for fluid flow to bypass the valve and flow through the frac plug, to allow pump down operations as long as needed. Once downhole operations are complete, increased fluid pressure on the plug pushes the valve past the bypass ports and plugs the flow through the inner diameter of the frac plug, closing off the fluid flow path through the frac plug. Thus, selective setting of the valve allows for downhole fluid flow as long as needed, and then can hydraulically isolate the region above the frac plug from the region below the frac plug.
