Sensors can be deployed in wells used for production or injection of fluids. Typically, sensors are placed on the outer surface of completion equipment deployed in a well. As a result, it is typically the case that the sensors are measuring properties of the completion equipment, rather than properties (e.g., temperature) of fluids in an inner bore of the completion equipment. In some situations, the inability to accurately detect properties (e.g., temperature) of fluids in the inner bore of completion equipment may lead to inaccurate results when using the measurement data collected by the sensors.
