We are delighted to be working with the University of Cambridge's Department of Engineering. m-pipe™ will help unlock the next stages of deep water production and the University of Cambridge and its alumni are helping us address these challenges.

Martin Jones, CEO of Magma Global

One group, at Magma Global, is leading the work to improve the reliability and operating envelope of sub-sea pipe. Magma's work is simplifying subsea architecture and lowering costs.

Magma is building on some of Professor James Gordon's pioneering work at Cambridge on composites to develop a monolithic carbon fibre polymer pipe to deliver the world's most reliable risers, jumpers, spools and flowlines for sub-sea exploration and production. Magma is working with the University of Cambridge's Department of Engineering to build their team and continue to develop their products.

Magma already employs several alumni from the Department of Engineering including Charles Tavner, their IP & Qualification Director and Ed Vernon-Harcourt, Robotic Production Manager. Magma has worked closely with the Department's Institute for Manufacturing to optimise their manufacturing processes and continues to identify individuals and research to extend their offering.

Magma's patented product, m-pipe™, exploits the benefits of carbon fibre to enable the reliable recovery of hydrocarbons from the most challenging offshore fields. m-pipe™ is lighter, stronger, more fatigue resistant, more resistant to sour service and better insulated than current solutions. Magma is backed by energy specialists Kern Partners and NES Partners.
