Wellbore plugs that include an interrogation device, hydrocarbon wells that include the wellbore plugs, and methods of operating the hydrocarbon wells are disclosed herein. The wellbore plugs include a plug body, an interrogation device, and a sealing structure. The interrogation device is contained within the plug body and includes a sensor configured to detect at least one parameter of the hydrocarbon well. The hydrocarbon wells include a wellbore, a downhole tubular, the plug, and a communication device configured to receive communication data from the interrogation device. The methods include releasing an interrogation device from a plug, detecting at least one parameter within the hydrocarbon well with the interrogation device, transmitting communication data from the interrogation device, and receiving the communication data with a communication device.
A plug configured to be positioned within a tubular conduit of a downhole tubular that extends within a wellbore of a hydrocarbon well, the plug comprising:
A method of operating a hydrocarbon well, wherein the hydrocarbon well includes a wellbore that extends within a subsurface region, a downhole tubular that extends within the wellbore and defines a tubular conduit, and a plug positioned within the tubular conduit, the method comprising:
