Benefits of technology

[0040]Such a valve arrangement as herein disclosed would relieve stress to the formation, as no stressful perforation would be required in various embodiments. As well, cementing of the well

Problems solved by technology

Some of the reduced performance can be attributed to cross flow between zones and other interference phenomena.
However, the reduced performance is typically of such magnitude that all of the reduction cannot be attributable to cross flow.
In various situations, a more significant cause of production impairment is damage to the formation that takes place during the milling of the plugs.
While the use of composite versus cast iron bridge plugs has significantly reduced the time and expense
