Shell and Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) needed a safer, simpler way to monitor well integrity during diagnostics before abandonment.
Frequent pressure measurements meant sending field crews to remote wells, adding cost, travel time and unnecessary exposure to field risks. They needed a solution that could provide reliable pressure data remotely, without replacing their existing monitoring infrastructure.
HiberHilo was installed on a well awaiting abandonment and tested against the existing wired pressure monitoring system, demonstrating that satellite-enabled monitoring could deliver reliable, accurate well data remotely, with a fast and straightforward installation.
The case study examines how Hiber’s remote well monitoring performed against the existing system, and what this could mean for field visits, safety and operational efficiency.
