Abstract
A downhole sealing device includes a ball, a collet coupled to the ball, a release device, and an electrical control board. The device is configured to release the ball and collet onto a downhole plug seat during hydraulic fracturing. In operation, an electrical signal is sent to the release device, actuating the release of collet fingers. Pressure equalization occurs through ports in the ball before the ball and collet are released to seal the plug seat. The device may be used to enable relocation of a hydraulic fracture monitoring cable when high-risk conditions are detected. After sealing is achieved, the cable and monitoring equipment may be moved to a safer location without halting the fracturing operation. The ball and collet may later be milled to restore wellbore access. The system supports real-time actuation and may be compatible with addressable command signals for selective downhole operation.
