Well monitoring does not need to be complex or time-consuming. HiberHilo enables quick deployment of well monitoring systems, delivering reliable well data directly to operational teams via satellite connectivity.

In less than three hours, a fully operational monitoring system can be installed and configured, providing near real-time visibility into well performance.

Here’s a simple breakdown of the installation process.

Step 1: Install the gateway

The gateway serves as the communication bridge between HiberHilo sensors and satellite networks. It is mounted directly onto existing infrastructure and includes two antennas: one for receiving sensor data and one for transmitting data to space-based networks.

Compact and lightweight, the gateway measures 330 mm x 230 mm x 140 mm (including mounting) and weighs approximately 4 kilograms. This makes it suitable for both offshore platforms and onshore sites where space and weight constraints are critical considerations.

Before proceeding with full installation, a LoRa connectivity check is performed using a pre-configured sensor and an ATEX-safe mobile device. This confirms communication between the sensor and gateway, ensuring system readiness.

Step 2: Install the sensors

Once gateway connectivity is confirmed, sensors are installed across wellheads.

HiberHilo sensors arrive pre-configured, eliminating the need for on-site calibration. Each installation typically takes around ten minutes. Standard half-inch NPT connections allow straightforward integration into existing Christmas tree infrastructure.

Built for harsh operating environments, the sensors are designed to withstand offshore corrosion, desert heat, and long-term field deployment. When a well is decommissioned, sensors can be removed and redeployed at new sites, supporting operational flexibility and asset reuse.

Step 3: Confirm connectivity

After installation, sensor connectivity is verified through the gateway interface. By connecting to the gateway WiFi hotspot via a laptop or mobile device, operators can access a centralized dashboard displaying all connected sensors.

This step ensures that all devices are transmitting data correctly and that the system is fully operational before leaving the site.

Step 4: Begin data collection

Once installation is complete and end-to-end functionality has been validated with Hiber Support, data begins flowing into the dashboard within approximately 15 minutes.

This enables immediate visibility into pressure and temperature trends, supporting faster operational decision-making and improved well performance tracking.

Leverage quick deployment well monitoring system in real-world conditions

HiberHilo is designed for rapid field deployment. In many cases, multiple wells can be installed in a single day without requiring dedicated mobilization campaigns.

The system can be deployed during routine site visits, allowing operators to upgrade existing wells to connected infrastructure with minimal disruption. This enables immediate access to reliable well data from any location, supporting safer and more efficient oil and gas operations.
