At the same time, for some oil testing completed wells without development plans in the short term, it is also used for temporary plugging during multi-stage perforation of horizontal wells. Because it is soluble, the plugging needs to be removed after the construction and completely dissolved.

[0003] In the prior art, the metal variable diameter seal is mainly realized by a variable diameter seal ring. The variable diameter seal ring is made of a soluble metal with low strength but extremely high ductility.

The inner surface is an inner conical surface that cooperates with the outer conical surface, and the radial cross-section of the outer surface is a plane; the variable diameter seal ring is a highly ductile soluble alloy, and the sealing effect is achieved by the extrusion of the outer circular surface after diameter change with the inner wall of the casing.

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the variable diameter seal ring is a highly ductile soluble alloy. Although the material has low strength due to diameter change requirements, due to pressure-bearing requirements, a certain strength is still needed. As a result, when the casing is severely deformed or there are severe local mutations, the variable diameter seal ring cannot produce enough deformation to seal the defective part; when the variable diameter seal ring is damaged by external forces during the downhole process, the sealing effect is greatly affected.
