1. A system for use in a well, comprising:
a completion string deployed in a borehole, the completion string comprising a water injection mandrel having a side pocket to enable injection of water into a well zone through a check valve, the check valve being coupled to the side pocket and oriented to open when fluid flows through the water injection mandrel during injection of water into the well zone while closing to prevent a reverse flow of fluid; and
a sensor tool sized for receipt in the side pocket, the sensor tool comprising:
a sensor to sense a desired well related parameter;
a seal system positioned to form a seal between the sensor tool and an interior surface of the side pocket; and
a nose oriented to mechanically open the check valve when the sensor tool is inserted into the side pocket;
wherein the nose comprises a tube eccentrically mounted on a nose housing.
