Abstract

A well (10) includes a bore formed in the earth and a casing (13) disposed within the bore so as to define an annular space between an outer surface of the casing (13) and an inner surface of the bore. Cement (14) is disposed in the annular space, and at least one sensor (15) is disposed within the cement. A source of an electromagnetic field electrically connected to the casing (13) and adapted to send the electromagnetic field through the casing to interrogate the sensors (15). The casing (13) is adapted to deliver power to the sensors (15) and to receive signals from the sensors.
