Systems and Methods for Collecting One or More Measurements in a Borehole

A method for collecting at least one measurement within a borehole formed in a formation, the method comprising:

• deploying a downhole component within the borehole, wherein the downhole component is capable of collecting a measurement relating to the borehole or the formation about the borehole;
• protecting the downhole component with a shielding element made of non-conductive or substantially non-conductive fiber reinforced polymer composite material.

A method for collecting at least one measurement within a borehole formed in a formation, the method comprising:

• positioning a drill string having a bottom hole assembly within the borehole;
• and
• electrically insulating a first position on bottom hole assembly from a second position on the bottom hole assembly with a drill collar made of non-conductive or substantially non-conductive composite material.
