Abstract

An apparatus includes a dissolvable gauge cutter, a temperature sensor, and a pressure sensor. The dissolvable gauge cutter is made of a dissolvable alloy. The dissolvable gauge cutter is configured to be disposed within and travel through a tubular installed within a wellbore. The dissolvable gauge cutter is configured to dislodge solids from an inner wall of the tubular as the dissolvable gauge cutter travels through the tubular down to a specified depth within the wellbore. The dissolvable gauge cutter is configured to completely dissolve after reaching the specified depth. The temperature is configured to measure a temperature of a surrounding fluid as the dissolvable gauge cutter travels downhole through the tubular to the specified depth. The pressure sensor is configured to measure a pressure of the surrounding fluid as the dissolvable gauge cutter travels downhole through the tubular to the specified depth.
