A method for determining conditions in a wellbore extending through a subterranean formation includes deploying a plurality of sensor pods in the wellbore, wherein each sensor pod includes a housing and a plurality of sensors disposed in the housing. The method also includes measuring and recording a plurality of pressures and a plurality of temperatures with plurality of sensors of each sensor pod, dissolving the housings of the pods to release the plurality of sensors from the pods after measuring and recording the plurality of pressures and the plurality of temperatures, and lifting the sensors to the surface.

Completion and production apparatus and methods employing pressure and/or temperature tracers

A frac plug includes a body having an outer surface, a first pocket in the outer surface, and a second pocket in the outer surface. In addition, the frac plug includes a first sensor removably disposed in the first pocket. The first sensor is configured to measure and record a plurality of pressures. The frac plug also includes a second sensor removably disposed in the second pocket. The second sensor is configured to measure and record a plurality of pressures. Further, the frac plug includes a first cap releasably coupled to the body and closing the first pocket. Moreover, the frac plug includes a second cap releasably coupled to the body and closing the second pocket. The first cap includes a port and the second cap includes a port.
