Pressure and Process Plant Technical Group Meeting

Dr Shravan Kairy is a senior corrosion scientist at the National Physical Laboratory, UK, with over a decade of experience in corrosion science and materials characterisation. He is the technical lead for NPL’s research on carbon capture and storage (CCS) corrosion, including the establishment of corrosion test facilities and development of a standardised corrosion testing method. He has presented his work at major international forums, including EuroCorr2025 (Norway), AMPP Corrosion2024 (USA), the Gordon Research Conference 2024 (USA) and ICorr2022 (UK), contributing to global efforts to advance corrosion testing standards for CCS infrastructure.

Ewa's expertise in CCUS encompasses the development of integrity management strategies for carbon capture and storage infrastructure. Ewa specialises in corrosion assessment, risk assessment and life extension of pipelines, ensuring their safety and compliance. Her experience includes designing barrier performance monitoring and inspection programmes, conducting fitness-for-service assessments, and addressing technical challenges related to material degradation and corrosion. 

Ian MacLeod FIMechE CEng is Technical Director for Wood’s Global Technical Expert Network (GTEN), which focusses on connecting the right technical experts and integrity driven solutions to our consulting client needs. He is a specialist and leading expert in flexible pipe technology, and has lead (and continues to lead) a number of Joint Industry Projects in this area and has authored various related technical papers and industry guidance. He has been part of Wood since 2001 and is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (FIMechE) since 2012.

Gareth has over 40 years' experience across all aspects of materials, corrosion and integrity services, including different aspects of carbon capture, utilisation and storage, including review of impact of supercritical/ dense phase CO2 secondary oil recovery on existing facilities, risk assessments for CO2 injection facilities, and corrosion control for new facilities 

Jonathan is Technical Director at Enoflex Ltd (UK). He is responsible for developing new applications for the Enoflex non-metallic, thermoplastic composite pipe technology. Jonathan has a PhD in mechanical engineering and many years’ experience of New Product Introduction for composites within the energy industry, originally for Oil and Gas production and now for Energy Transition applications with Enoflex.

Mike has had involvement with several CCS designs and installations related to oil and gas projects as a Senior Consultant for an International contracting company. His current role as chair of an Industry Advisory Group (IAG) – Integrated Energy to NPL for over 20 years has provided opportunity to contribute to a number of studies that have helped to improve accuracy of testing methods.

Matthew Healey is the managing director of Pace CCS, global leaders in CCS design and integrity risk in CCS networks, including experience with over 100 CCS projects in design or operation.

17 years working in the field of materials & corrosion in the energy industry. Experience working with multiple carbon capture systems installed offshore (upstream O&G) and onshore at refineries or petrochemical facilities. Active engagement in corrosion science/engineering forums for the next generation of CCS. Working involvement in Greensands, Viking, Acorn CCS developments..
