POLYGLYCOLIC ACID RESIN COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
A polyglycolic acid resin (PGA) composition which can be used as a packaging material or a material for a drilling downhole tool (member), said composition comprising 30 to 90 mass% of a PGA and 70 to 10 mass% of an inorganic filler, wherein the percentage of mass loss of the PGA after the immersion of the composition in water at a temperature of 120°C for 3 hours is 20% or more, preferably 25% or more, and the deflection temperature under load of the composition is 120°C or higher; and a method for producing a PGA composition, said method comprising a step of melt-kneading using an extruder.
A ball sealer for hydrocarbon resource collection, wherein: the ball sealer is obtained from a roughly spherical structure overall that has at least a two layer structure of a spherical core and a surface layer resin material covering same; at least the surface layer resin material thereof is obtained from a polyglycolic acid resin; and the diameter is about 25 mm (1 inch) or more. The ball sealer is manufactured with a method wherein: the spherical core is disposed substantially in the center of a metal mold cavity with support pins; in this state, the surface layer resin obtained from a polyglycolic acid resin is injection-molded around the core; and after retracting the support pins to the wall surface of the metal mold cavity synchronized with completion of the injection of the surface layer resin, the surface layer resin is cured. A large diameter ball sealer is thereby manufactured with a relatively simple process and with good dimensional accuracy, the ball sealer being suitable for use in hydraulic fracturing, which is widely used for collecting hydrocarbon resources such as petroleum and natural gas, and having a polyglycolic acid resin, which is a biodegradable resin with good mechanical strength and good dimensional designability, for at least the surface layer-configuring resin.

As a result, it is possible to provide a downhole tool member, that is a temporary tool for formation or repair of downholes for recovery of hydrocarbon resources including oil and gas, or a part of the tool, which allows more accurate designing of collapse characteristics thereof.

MEMBER FOR HYDROCARBON RESOURCE COLLECTION DOWNHOLE TOOL
A member for a hydrocarbon resource collection downhole tool characterized: in being obtained from a molding of a polyglycolic acid resin with a weight average molecular weight of 70 thousand or more and with an effective thickness of ½ or more of the critical thickness for surface degradation; and in the rate of thickness reduction in water being constant with respect to time. As a result, more precise design of the strength and time until breakdown of the downhole tool member that forms part or all of a temporary use tool for forming or repairing downholes for collecting hydrocarbon resources such as petroleum and gasoline is made possible.
The present invention provides a polyester resin composition comprising: 100 parts by mass of a polyester resin having at least 50% by mass of a glycolic acid resin; and from 0.5 to 50 parts by mass of a carboxylic acid anhydride. The present invention makes it possible for the degradation of the polyester resin to proceed even at relatively low temperatures (e.g. less than 60°C, and preferably less than or equal to 50°C), and also makes it possible to control the degradation during storage. Since the polyester resin composition of the present invention exhibits excellent degradability at relatively low temperatures, the molded articles, such as short fibers, formed from such a polyester resin composition are advantageously used as a well-treatment fluid (e.g. sealers for fracturing fluids) that is suitable for drilling or completion of oil and gas recovery and the like.
