Abstract

Soluble plugs are usable downhole to block fluid flow, but dissolve in response to contact with fluid to allow fluid flow. Some aspects can involve a plug assembly including a housing and a plug. The housing can be positioned in a flow path in a wellbore. The plug can be positioned in an inner area of the housing for preventing fluid flow between a first part of the flow path and a second part of the flow path. The plug can include a solid material for at least partially dissolving in response to contact with a fluid to allow fluid flow between the first part and the second part.
