Abstract
A system includes a first valve removal (VR) plug, a VR plug housing, and a second VR plug. The first VR plug includes a sensor configured to sense a characteristic of a first volume adjacent to the first VR plug and to wirelessly transmit a signal indicative of the sensed characteristic, wherein the first VR plug is configured to form a first seal with a flange of a mineral extraction component. The VR plug housing includes a first flange configured to be disposed about the VR plug and to couple to the flange of the mineral extraction component, a second VR plug recess comprising an interior threaded surface, and a second flange disposed about the second VR plug recess. The second VR plug includes a threaded exterior surface configured to engage with the threaded interior surface of the second VR plug recess to form a second seal between the second VR plug and the VR plug housing.
