1. An instrumented wiper dart configurable at a wellsite having a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, comprising:
a combined instrument sub comprising a processor and one or more environmental sensors to measure a property of a wellbore environment;
a communication system selectable between i) wired or ii) wireless communication;
and
a sealing member selectable between i) rubber or ii) foam and comprising a cylindrical shape configured to sealingly engage an inner surface of a workstring;
wherein the combined instrument sub is configurable by selection of the one or more environmental sensors;
wherein the combined instrument sub is configurable at the wellsite by programming the combined instrument sub to receive one or more datasets from the one or more environmental sensors and to relay the one or more data sets to the communication system, wherein the one or more data sets comprise periodic wellbore data, and wherein the communication system is configured to transmit the one or more data sets to the surface: and
wherein the combined instrument sub, the sealing member, and the communication system are releasably coupled together to form the instrumented wiper dart, and
wherein the instrumented wiper dart does not include a release mechanism configured for retrieval of the combined instrument sub comprising one or more environmental sensors from the wellbore.
