Seat arrangement, method for creating a seat and method for fracturing a borehole
View Patent ↗A degradable seat arrangement consisting of a pusher; a cone having a tapered face disposed radially outwardly of the pusher; and a seal having a seal deformation face configured to contact the tapered face. A method for creating a seat in a borehole.
1. A downhole seat arrangement consisting of
a pusher;
a cone having a tapered face, that remains tapered after setting, disposed radially outwardly of the pusher; and
a seal having a seal deformation face configured to contact the tapered face.
2. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the pusher and the cone comprise degradable alloy material.
3. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the seal comprises a degradable elastomer.
4. The seat arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the taper has an angle of about 4 degrees or less.
5. The seat arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the taper has an angle of from about 3 to about 4 degrees.
