UK REACH – The Challenge for Sustainable Chemistry 2020-2030
UK REACH – The Challenge for Sustainable Chemistry 2020-2030
A paper presented at the RSC's Chemistry in the Oil Industry XVII (2021), considering the impact that the end of the UK Brexit Transition period has to the changing face of chemical regulations in the EU geographical area The Grandfathering and DUIN processes ended and UK REACH entered a phase-in period for the ful registered of substances depending upon the annual tonnage and/or hazard classification. The potential impact to UK innovation is considered in comparason to the widely reported reduction in investments in research and development in response to the phase in of the EU REACH Regulation. Authored with Chris Malin & Huw Jones (NALCO Champion).

Microplastics: How will the EU Restriction on microplastics impact oilfield chemistries?
Microplastics: How will the EU Restriction on microplastics impact oilfield chemistries?
A paper presented at the RSC's Chemistry in the Oil Industry XVI (2019), presenting a review of the proposed EU-wide restriction of ‘intentionally-added’ microplastic that could lead to the release of microplastic particles into the environment. Considering the draft proposal for a restriction ECHA presented to the EC. The potential impact to the offshore oil and gas industry is considered, including the proposed derogation for industrial sites and the related requirements that microplastics should be labelled and have appropriate monitoring and reporting in place. Authored with Chris Malin (NALCO Champion).

CHARM-ing the Environment: Development of the CHARM model for assessing offshore discharges
CHARM-ing the Environment: Development of the CHARM model for assessing offshore discharges
A paper presented at the RSC's Chemistry in the Oil Industry XV (2017), presenting several aspects that were identified in a review of the CHARM manual and discusses the state of the science in these areas and how this could be encompassed in the CHARM manual. Authored with Chris Malin & Ian Still (Nalco Champion).
