Abstract

Techniques for implementing and/or operating a system that includes a pipe segment, in which the pipe segment includes tubing that defines a pipe bore and a fluid conduit within an annulus of the tubing, a bore device to be moved through the pipe bore of the pipe segment, in which the bore device includes an internal sensor that determines sensor data indicative of an electrical parameter that the bore device encounters while disposed in the pipe bore of the pipe segment and fluid blocking material implemented around the internal sensor, and a control sub-system communicatively coupled to the bore device. The control sub-system determines whether static charge is expected to be present in the pipe bore of the pipe segment based at least in part on the sensor data determined by the internal sensor of the bore device.
