    Abstract: A casing/liner string buoyancy arrangement including a casing/liner string, and a material defining a volume disposed within the string, the material excluding downhole fluids from the volume, the volume being of a lower specific gravity than the same downhole fluids. A method for managing buoyancy of a casing/liner string including configuring a casing/liner string, running the string, and selectively maintaining or degrading the material to adjust buoyancy of the string. A borehole system including a borehole in a subsurface formation, and an arrangement disposed in the borehole.

    Abstract: A downhole assembly comprises a first article; and a second article having a surface which accommodates a surface shape of the first article, wherein the first article is configured to provide a chemical, heat, or a combination thereof to facilitate the disintegration of the second article. A method comprises disposing a second article in a downhole environment; disposing a first article on the second article; the second article having a surface which accommodates a surface shape of the first article; performing a downhole operation; and disintegrating the first article to provide a chemical, heat, or a combination thereof that facilitates the disintegration of the second article.
