We initiated a position in TechnipFMC, a global leader in offshore subsea equipment, systems, and services. Formed through the merger of FMC Technologies and Technip in 2017, the company is uniquely positioned as a fully integrated provider in the offshore energy market. Industry consolidation following the last oil downturn has improved the competitive landscape, while breakeven prices for offshore projects have declined to approximately $40 per barrel, supporting increased activity levels. TechnipFMC benefits from strong visibility, supported by a $16 billion multi-year backlog. The company’s Subsea 2.0 platform and iEPCI model enable greater integration across project design and execution, enhancing efficiency and expanding margin opportunities.
