CO2 Pipeline Integrity Management – Engineering, Risk Control & Lifecycle Strategies for Safe CO2 Transport

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the principal integrity threats for CO₂ transport pipelines, including corrosion, cracking, fracture and operational transients.
• Explain how CO₂ phase behaviour, transport mode, pressure and temperature control, and impurities affect pipeline integrity risk.
• Recognise how water content, impurity limits and operating envelope control influence corrosion risk and materials selection.
• Understand the role of international standards, industry guidance and regulatory expectations in CO₂ pipeline design and integrity management.
• Apply risk-based methods to threat identification, inspection planning and mitigation of CO₂ pipeline integrity risks.
• Select appropriate inspection, monitoring and assessment approaches for new-build and repurposed CO₂ pipelines

This course is intended for technical and management personnel involved in CO₂ transportation, CCUS projects, pipeline engineering and asset integrity, including:

• Pipeline engineers
• Materials and corrosion engineers
• Asset Integrity engineers
• Operations and maintenance engineers
• Process engineers involved in CO₂ transport systems
• Regulators or advisors involved in CO₂ transport infrastructure
• Inspection and reliability engineers
• Project engineers and project managers
• HSE and risk management professionals
• Technical authorities and discipline leads
• Flow assurance engineers

• Intermediate

The course employs a blended learning approach combining expert-led technical lectures, interactive discussions, real-world case studies, engineering calculations, and practical workshops. Participants will engage in scenario-based problem-solving exercises, integrity assessment simulations, and group discussions to reinforce conceptual understanding and enhance real-world applicability. This methodology ensures effective knowledge transfer while promoting critical thinking, peer learning, and practical skill development.

Your expert course leader is a senior materials and corrosion specialist with over 25 years’ international experience in pipeline integrity, CCUS, and hydrogen transport systems. He combines deep technical knowledge with hands-on project delivery, helping energy operators manage corrosion risks, extend asset life, and ensure operational safety. His work spans design, construction, operations, and decommissioning phases across global energy infrastructure projects.

He delivers materials, corrosion, and asset integrity solutions for energy transition projects. Previously, he served as Materials and Corrosion Global Lead, managing international teams and delivering over £1M EBITDA in technical services. He has held senior engineering roles at international firms, providing metallurgical and materials expertise for high-pressure, high-temperature, and sour service pipelines.

His project portfolio includes CO₂ pipelines and CCS infrastructure, hydrogen transport, and hydrocarbon pipelines worldwide. Notable projects include Saudi Aramco ACCS, Santos Moomba CCS, Gasunie Porthos, Carbfix (Iceland), Shell Nigeria BSWA Gas Export System, and North Sea pipeline lifetime extension studies. He has led integrity assessments, materials selection, corrosion risk modeling, inspection planning, and regulatory compliance strategies for complex pipeline systems operating under challenging conditions.

He actively contributes to industry and international standards. He is a member of NACE, the Institute of Corrosion, SPE, and various ISO and BSI technical committees, including CO₂ pipeline and CCS interest groups. He has authored numerous technical publications on CCUS, hydrogen, corrosion management, and materials selection, and has presented at conferences worldwide. His work bridges academic insight and practical industry application, ensuring participants gain both theoretical and real-world knowledge.

As an instructor, your expert course leader delivers highly technical and applied training for engineers and technical professionals, emphasizing problem-solving, case studies, and practical exercises. His courses cover CO₂ pipeline integrity, corrosion mechanisms, inspection strategies, risk assessment, and lifecycle management. Participants benefit from his ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable engineering solutions that improve safety, integrity, and operational performance.
