1. A well completion pipe having an insulated electrical conductor, comprising;
a plurality of pipe joints, each comprising a joint of wellbore tubular, an intermediate layer comprising an insulated electrical conductor disposed inside the joint of wellbore tubular and an inner pipe disposed inside the intermediate layer, the intermediate layer comprising an electrically insulating material on an outer surface, the electrical conductor nested within the insulating material and an electrical insulator arranged to electrically insulate the electrical conductor from the inner pipe and the joint of wellbore tubular;
wherein the inner pipe extends longitudinally beyond a respective longitudinal end of the joint of wellbore tubular or the joint of wellbore tubular extends longitudinally beyond a respective longitudinal end of the inner pipe;
wherein the inner pipe and the joint of wellbore tubular comprise respective threaded connections at each longitudinal end, the respective threaded connections forming a metal to metal seal when engaged to corresponding mating threads; and
an electrical contact disposed at each longitudinal end of the joint of wellbore tubular and in electrical contact with the insulated electrical conductor.
