Abstract

A downhole plug for plugging and method of controlling fluids within a borehole in an oil and/or gas well. The downhole plug has a body having a throughbore for the passage of fluids. The plug also has a mechanical anchoring device that can radially expand an anchoring member on an outer surface of the body to lock the body in a fixed axial position within the borehole and an annular sealing device that can radially expand a sealing member on the outer surface of the body to seal an annulus formed between the outer surface of the body and an inner surface of the borehole. The plug also has a throughbore plugging device that can change configuration between a first open configuration in which the throughbore of the body permits the passage of fluid, and a second closed configuration in which the throughbore resists the passage of fluid.
