World’s First End-to-End IoT Subscription Service for Remote Monitoring Launched by Hiber With Oil & Gas Well Integrity Monitoring to Prevent Leakage & Build a More Sustainable Practice
2.11.2020 11:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Dutch satellite Internet-of-Things (IoT) solution startup, Hiber, today announces the launch of HiberHilo, its first end-to-end solution for Oil & Gas Well Integrity Monitoring. HiberHilo is also the world’s first subscription service for IoT-enabled remote Oil/Gas Well monitoring and the company will be introducing similar services for other specific use cases in 2021.

There is a growing demand for remote monitoring in industries such as Oil & Gas to create more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, especially with COVID-19 limiting travel halting routine maintenance checks. However, the IoT SaaS market in this space is nascent and lacks simplicity. Having already been one of the first firms to develop a remote IoT connectivity solution with the launch of its proprietary nano-satellites in 2018, Hiber identified the urgent need for readily available out-the-box end-to-end subscription based offerings. These must be designed bespoke for particular use cases, as well as being simple and efficient for businesses to install and implement.
The HiberHilo solution for Oil & Gas Well Integrity Monitoring is the first offering of this kind that Hiber will launch because this process is currently complex, time-consuming and expensive (costing up to $40,000 per field visit). Additionally, manual monitoring is prone to error and is often not conducted frequently enough.
Monitoring is critical to ensure that anomalies are identified early and addressed - this can include potential leaks which, if left unaddressed, can impact people’s health and safety as well as negatively impact the environment. HiberHilo’s out-of-the-box subscription solution utilises Hiber’s global satellite network to empower organisations to automate continuous annulus pressure and wellhead monitoring of up to 250 wells in a radius of 10km, even in the most remote locations on Earth. Pricing starts at $449 per month per well (1 sensor and a 5 year contract).
The all-in-one product is available as both a starter kit and in the form of an enterprise solution, both of which feature:
- A pressure and optional temperature sensor to ensure accurate and regular measurements - organisations can add more sensors to the network if required
- Easy connectivity anywhere, sending up to 24 messages a day or one per hour
- Alarm and alert settings
- An intuitive dashboard for desktop and mobile
- Support both on-site and via mobile
Coen Janssen, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Hiber said, “We are excited to launch this first-of-its-kind IoT proposition for remote monitoring at a time when it is needed more than ever. HiberHilo has already been proven by Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM) and Royal Dutch Shell (better known as just “Shell”) on an abandoned on-shore well. This technology can be installed in less than 2 hours and within 0.25% accuracy levels of a traditional wired system, which is extremely reliable.”
“We look forward to more companies embracing this new proposition as it will save them time, money and lives by allowing teams to monitor well integrity from home as well as reducing the risk of well integrity issues to create more sustainable practices. The future for remote monitoring is very bright!”
Hiber entered the market in 2018 purely as a connectivity provider, utilising its own proprietary nano-satellite technology to unlock IoT connectivity in the 90% of the world without it. For more information on HiberHilo visit: hiberhilo.com or watch this video.

About Hiber
Hiber is an Internet of Things (IoT) solution startup, founded and led by a dream team of satellite experts and tech entrepreneurs. These 'Hibernauts' are working on a moonshoot goal: to launch and provide end-to-end IoT solutions connected by satellites in space. More than 55 employees work on the ground-breaking technology behind Hiber and Hiberband at its offices in the Netherlands and USA.
To date, the company has managed to attract significant funding. This has meant that in November 2018 Hiber became the Netherlands’ first commercial satellite company, launching its first two nano-satellites into orbit. Hiber officially launched at the Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) Re:invent Conference in November 2018 where they were named Commercial Startup Launch of 2018 at the AWS conference.

Watchmaker Genomics Licenses CRISPR-Cas9 Intellectual Property from Caribou Biosciences to Increase Throughput and Reduce Sequencing Cost per Sample17.2.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Watchmaker Genomics, an innovator in high-performance solutions for next-generation sequencing (NGS), today announced a non-exclusive license with Caribou Biosciences, Inc., a leading clinical-stage CRISPR genome-editing biopharmaceutical company, for certain foundational CRISPR-Cas9 intellectual property for use in NGS library preparation. While CRISPR-Cas9 technologies are most commonly associated with their unique ability to find and cut for genome editing, Watchmaker is leveraging it in a fundamentally different way: as a programmable, stoichiometric binding tool to address one of the most persistent and under-optimized steps in NGS workflows – library normalization. “Normalization has quietly become a bottleneck as sequencing throughput has scaled,” said Brian Kudlow, CSO and Founderat Watchmaker Genomics. “This license gives us the freedom to rethink normalization from first principles, using CRISPR-Cas9 in a way that’s orthogonal to editing but highly aligned with modern sequenc
Esri and Pix4D Launch Real-Time Terrestrial Mapping Workflow17.2.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, has launched a terrestrial mapping workflow with Pix4D. A Switzerland-based photogrammetry software company, Pix4D specializes in mobile reality capture and site-digitization. The combined workflow allows field teams to capture and process asset data and manage it within ArcGIS, Esri’s geospatial platform. Field teams use the PIX4Dcatch app with real-time kinematics (RTK) devices to scan trenches and infrastructure. The generated high precision georeferenced records can now be published into Esri’s ArcGIS Online. Scans become 3D models and point clouds, viewable as a Scene Layer. Existing data can also be visualized in augmented reality for instant “as-designed” versus “as-built” verification before closing trenches. “We are focused on turning hidden infrastructure into functional data,” said Andrey Kleymenov, CEO of Pix4D. “By connecting PIX4Dcatch with a compatible RTK device to the Esri ecosystem, we are enab
Compass Pathways Successfully Achieves Primary Endpoint in Second Phase 3 Trial Evaluating COMP360 Psilocybin for Treatment-Resistant Depression17.2.2026 13:30:00 EET | Press release
Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation, announced today the successful achievement of the primary endpoint in the ongoing Phase 3 COMP006 trial, the second of two Phase 3 trials, which is evaluating two fixed doses of COMP360, a synthetic, proprietary formulation of psilocybin, for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The primary endpoint was the difference in change from baseline in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores between the 25 mg and 1 mg groups at Week 6. Two fixed doses – administered 3 weeks apart – of COMP360 25 mg versus 1 mg demonstrated a highly statistically significant reduction in symptom severity with a p-value of <0.001 and a clinically meaningful difference of -3.8 points in change at the primary endpoint. Across COMP005 and COMP006 to date, COMP360 is demonstrating a generally well-tolerated and safe profile, with treatment-emergent adverse events (
