Making well monitoring safer for oil and gas.
Monitoring wells is no simple task.
HiberHilo is a solution that oil and gas companies can use to monitor the integrity of their wells. More specifically, HiberHilo helps keep wells safe through wellhead pressure and temperature monitoring.

Shell is testing a new way to reduce accidents and increase efficiency at
the same time.
HiberHilo begins with a sensor. One or more of these sensors is installed on a wellhead, and the data from these sensors is sent to a gateway through a secure local network that uses a LoRaWaN protocol. The data passes through the gateway and is beamed up to one of Hiber’s satellites, which then sends the data back to Hiber’s backend. After receiving the data, we process it and push it to a secure online dashboard.
HiberHilo is specifically designed for hard-to-reach and out-of-range areas like remote
onshore wells, offshore unmanned platforms, and offshore wells that need to be decommissioned. The Lora Network has a range of roughly 10 kilometres, which means you can connect all the sensors in an area to the same network, even if there is no cell phone coverage or wired connection available. HiberHilo is also affordable, which makes remote monitoring for these wells possible when many operate on a small budget.

Shell is an energy company committed to reaching a zero-accident rate while improving efficiency at the same time. After hearing about HiberHilo, they were curious about how the technology could help them build the digital oilfield of the future.
Together, we went out to one of the joint venture’s abandoned wells and placed sensors on the wellhead. The well already had a wired connection, so it was easy to compare the data that HiberHilo collected with the data connection Shell already trusted. The goal—reach an accuracy rate within at least 10% of the existing data source’s measurements.

About Hiber
Hiber is a Dutch-based company with headquarters in Amsterdam and research facility in Delft. It also operates out of Maryland. In late October 2018 it successfully launched its first two nano satellites from California and India. It was also voted the Amazon Web Services Commercial Start-Up Launch of the Year, 2018. (Previous winners include Pinterest and AirBnB.) Current applications include monitoring crops in Africa, groundwater in Australia, fishing vessels across the Pacific, carbon-free vehicles in Antarctica, rail cars in America, cattle in South America, beehives in Europe, and even Dutch flowers.
