Cement head flow diverter for tethered cement plug deployment

A method for evaluating a wellbore, comprising:

• coupling a communication line to a top portion of a cement plug that is configured to be deployed from a plug container, wherein the plug container includes:
• an elongated housing having a top opening, a bottom opening, and an interior housing space;
• a cap coupled to the top opening of the elongated housing, wherein the cap includes an aperture for receiving the communication line;
• and
• an inner canister disposed within the interior housing space of the elongated housing, wherein the inner canister has a top open end, a bottom open end, and an interior canister space that accommodates the cement plug and wherein a perimeter of the top open end of the inner canister abuts the interior housing space of the elongated housing;
• deploying the cement plug that is coupled to the communication line from the plug container into a casing within the wellbore;
• and
• obtaining downhole wellbore data via the communication line.

A system comprising:

• a plug container;
• at least one cement plug containing a spool capable of deploying a communication line while the at least one cement plug is displaced downhole;
• and
• at least one controller coupled to the at least one cement plug via the communication line, wherein the plug container is configured to hold and deploy the at least one cement plug, and wherein the plug container includes:
• an elongated housing having a top opening, a bottom opening, and an interior housing space;
• a cap coupled to the top opening of the elongated housing, wherein the cap includes an aperture for receiving the communication line;
• and
• an inner canister disposed within the interior housing space of the elongated housing, wherein the inner canister has a top open end, a bottom open end, and an interior canister space that accommodates the at least one cement plug and wherein a perimeter of the top open end of the inner canister abuts the interior housing space of the elongated housing.
