HiberHilo’s so much more than just a box and an antenna and a sensor (though we like to think both look pretty great).
It’s actually a full system that’s designed to make your engineer’s lives easier. We’ve thought of every little detail. From the types of antennae we used. To how you connect it in the first place. Everything about HiberHilo makes wellhead monitoring simple.
One of the big advantages of HiberHilo’s design is the fact that it’s lightweight. The gateway itself is 4 kilograms. And the Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) device attached to it weighs 1.5 kilos. So it’s perfect for aging oil platforms, where you have to account for every kilo that goes onto the rig, and don’t have a lot of weight to spare. The sensors are also lightweight, clocking in at roughly 1.3 kilograms each. So at its heaviest, the full HiberHilo solution weighs about as much as a hefty housecat.
The lightweight is important for aging platforms. But it also makes it easy to attach to a pole and hoist into the air. Which is important if your well is somewhere with dense vegetation, because the BGAN needs to have a clear view of the sky to get the most accurate reading.
The simple design isn’t just limited to the hardware. HiberHilo’s user interface is also designed to give you quick insights into your wellhead performance, anywhere in the world. In the dashboard you can easily:
- See temperature and pressure sensor readings over time
- Group sensors into wells, and group wells into field complexes
- Export data in .csv
“Everything about HiberHilo’s engineered to be easy. No unnecessary bells and whistles. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. ”
From the control centre, you can get a lot of information up front, such as the latest reading that HiberHilo took of the wells, and a list of all the sensors in the field. You can also easily see the well status, which groups the wells in three categories based on the relationships between the sensor reading and the thresholds set.
These categories are:
- Alarms, which show wells that have exceeded one or more of their thresholds, which means immediate action is necessary.
- Buildups, which show pressure build ups and help you plan visits to the well.
- Healthy, which means none of the parameters exceed the thresholds you set.
You’ll receive regular email updates if anything happens to your wells. So you don’t need to monitor the dashboard 24/7.
When you click on a sensor, you’ll get taken to a page with in-depth reporting on all of the activities associated with that sensor. You’ll see everything you could possibly want to know, including the latest temperature and pressure reading, historical data, and notifications.
Something else that’s cool about the dashboard? You don’t have to use it at all, if you want. If you’ve already got a system that your engineering team is used to, you can easily integrate the HiberHilo data directly into your existing workflow.
See what we mean? Everything about HiberHilo’s engineered to be easy. No unnecessary bells and whistles. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
