As the global energy landscape moves steadily toward renewables, the demand for oil and gas is projected to persist for decades. This transition brings pressure to reduce emissions, enhance operational safety, and minimize human exposure to high-risk environments. This is especially true for the oil and gas sector, where many installations—deep in jungles, swamps, or far offshore—remain unmanned and incredibly difficult to access.

This is where Hiber, a Dutch-based IoT technology company, is setting new standards.

Hiber as Remote Eyes and Ears for Remote Energy Sites

Hiber’s technology enables real-time satellite-connected monitoring of the most inaccessible energy installations. Through energy-efficient, wireless IoT sensors, Hiber delivers critical data, such as well pressure, temperature, and vibration levels. This data is sent directly to operators, eliminating the need for constant boots-on-the-ground inspections.

“Frequent physical inspections are a huge challenge, especially in hard-to-reach places,” said Hiber Managing Director Simon Philipsen. “Imagine an oil well in the Nigerian swamps, dozens of kilometers from civilization. Without continuous monitoring, no one knows if there are problems such as leaks”.

By enabling around-the-clock surveillance of remote assets, Hiber is helping companies prevent environmental disasters before they happen, protecting people and ecosystems alike.

Reducing Carbon Emissions Through Remote Monitoring

Traditional methods of inspecting oil and gas sites, such as using helicopters, boats, or long off-road expeditions, are not only costly and slow but also carbon intensive.

“Reading data remotely results in significant savings in personnel safety and CO₂ emissions,” Philipsen added. “After all, fewer inspections with helicopters, trucks, or boats are required”.

With HiberHilo, Hiber’s specialized monitoring solution, operators can securely assess infrastructure in extreme environments from anywhere on Earth. This while drastically reducing the operational footprint and improving response times.

Hiber’s Role in the Future of Energy

Hiber is transforming legacy energy systems and helping shape the future. The company’s monitoring solutions are already being deployed in hydrogen transport chains and Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) infrastructure, two crucial pillars in the global decarbonization effort.

“Our technology is already being used in the hydrogen chain and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. Real-time monitoring also helps to minimize risks with these new technologies,” said Philipsen.

This adaptability underscores Hiber’s commitment to supporting a safer and greener energy future, regardless of the source.

Safer Conditions for the Energy Workforce

Remote IoT monitoring reduces the need to send crews into hazardous or logistically difficult zones. By lowering the frequency of in-person inspections, organizations can mitigate risks to personnel, reduce operating costs, and streamline their supply chains.

For a sector often criticized for slow digital adoption, Hiber represents a leap forward that integrates cutting-edge satellite communication with IoT to make vital infrastructure smarter, safer, and more sustainable.

For energy companies looking to operate more responsibly in an ever-changing world, Hiber offers real-time insight, operational peace of mind, and a pathway to lower emissions, even in the most remote corners of the planet.
