World Pipelines banner

In a recent feature with World Pipelines, Kent's Hydrogen Pipeline Materials Specialist David Baxter and Victor Ng explores the growing opportunity to repurpose offshore pipelines as the assets reach the end of their original design life. With new pipeline developments often requiring significant capital and long lead times.

The article outlines Kent’s structured, engineering-led approach, from early feasibility and data validation through to detailed assessment, risk evaluation and life extension. It highlights the importance of multidisciplinary expertise, robust data, and early identification of technical and operational risks to ensure safe, compliant and commercially viable outcomes.

With experience spanning conventional conversions and emerging applications such as CO₂ and hydrogen transport, Kent continues to support clients in unlocking greater value from existing infrastructure.
