Pipeline monitoring and leak detection leader PipeSense has been named the winner of the Best Digital Transformation (Midstream) category at the Gulf Energy Excellence Awards 2025, in recognition of its groundbreaking PipeTest HydroView dashboard - a digital platform transforming the way hydrotesting is performed across the global energy sector.
Held on Thursday evening [16th October 2025] in Houston, the Gulf Energy Excellence Awards celebrated innovation and technological advancements across all segments of the energy industry. PipeSense was honored for revolutionizing hydrotesting through real-time data insights, advanced leak detection, and compete digital integration. Its HydroView dashboard replaces traditional paper-based test charting with a unified digital interface, giving supervisors, inspectors, and engineers worldwide instant access to live hydrotest data from fill to dewater.
HydroView combines intelligent leak detection with continuous pressure and temperature monitoring, powered by solar and Iridium-enabled hardware for seamless connectivity even in remote environments. Its temperature-corrected pressure analysis isolates small leaks with exceptional precision, while real-time stability trending helps engineers quickly assess test performance. The system also automates record-keeping and reporting, generating digital test charts and post-test reports instantly, with integrated local weather and topographic data providing complete test context.
By delivering immediate visibility and automated analytics, HydroView dramatically improves safety, efficiency, and decision-making. Engineers can remotely monitor progress, reduce personnel on site, shorten approval times, and eliminate costly false leak identifications. The same technology also locates stuck pigs during cleaning, fill, or dewatering, further extending operational value.
Accepting the award, Scott Bauer, Vice President of Operations at PipsSense said:
“HydroView represents a major leap forward in digital transformation for the midstream sector. By delivering real-time data visibility, intelligent leak detection, and automated reporting, it enables operators to make faster, safer, and more informed decisions. This award is a testament to our team’s commitment to innovation and our mission to set new standards of safety, accuracy, and efficiency across the energy industry.”
The recognition underscores PipeSense’s leadership in advancing digital technologies that make pipeline testing safer, faster, and more data-driven - establishing a new benchmark for operational excellence and sustainability. The award also comes at a pivotal time for the company, following significant team growth and increasing adoption of its technologies across the region, reinforcing PipeSense’s position at the forefront of digital transformation in energy infrastructure.
