Technip FMC CCUS Strategy, $1 B New Energy Fund, Total Energies PPA, and $10 B in Subsea Orders (2025)

Project Adoption: How Technip FMC Uses Subsea Contracts for New Energy Entry

In 2025, Technip FMC executed a dual-pronged strategy, reinforcing its market leadership in traditional subsea projects while leveraging that incumbency to establish a foothold in new energy systems. The company is not pursuing distributed energy in the conventional sense; instead, it is applying its core competencies in complex offshore engineering to large-scale opportunities in hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCS). The year was defined by major oil and gas contract wins that provide the financial and technical foundation for this long-term pivot.

• In December 2025, Technip FMC secured a significant contract with Chevron for the Gorgon Stage 3 development in Australia, supplying its proven Subsea 2.0® production systems. This project, along with a tie-in contract for Equinor’s Johan Sverdrup field, underscores the continued demand for its core offerings, which generated a $15.8 billion backlog in Q 1 2025.
• The company’s most direct “distributed energy” project in 2025 was the completion of a rooftop solar installation at its Malaysian manufacturing plant through a power purchase agreement with Total Energies ENEOS. This initiative serves as a pragmatic, low-risk application of renewables to reduce operational emissions rather than a strategic entry into the solar generation market.
• The company’s Subsea 2.0® technology, which emphasizes lighter and more compact equipment, is the critical bridge between its legacy business and future opportunities. The design principles are directly transferable to emerging offshore infrastructure for CCS and renewables, de-risking market entry.

$1 B Investment: Technip FMC Funds Hydrogen and CCS Pivot with Subsea Profits

Technip FMC‘s 2025 financial strategy is characterized by its use of robust cash flow from its dominant Subsea division to fund a $1 billion strategic investment in its New Energy portfolio. This capital is earmarked for developing technologies in carbon capture, hydrogen, and offshore renewables by the end of 2025, demonstrating a clear commitment to diversifying beyond its traditional oil and gas services. This investment is not a speculative venture but a calculated redeployment of capital from a highly profitable core business.

• The financial engine for this transition was on full display in Q 3 2025, when the company generated $448 million in free cash flow. This strong performance provides the necessary liquidity to fund capital-intensive research and development without compromising operational stability.
• The company’s financial discipline is further evidenced by its goal to increase shareholder distributions to a minimum of 70% of its free cash flow by 2025. This target signals confidence in its continued cash-generating capability, balancing shareholder returns with long-term strategic investments.
• The market impact of this investment in 2025 is not measured in direct revenue from the New Energy segment but in building the capabilities and technologies needed to compete in future energy markets. The focus on areas like offshore CCUS and hydrogen leverages the company’s deep expertise in subsea engineering and project management.

Technip FMC 2025 Partnerships: 3 Key Deals with Chevron, Equinor, and Total Energies

In 2025, Technip FMC’s partnerships illustrated its dual strategy, reinforcing its incumbent position with major oil and gas operators while piloting new energy models at an operational level. These agreements secured near-term revenue and demonstrated the continued trust of supermajors, which is critical for future collaborations in new energy sectors like offshore CCS and hydrogen production.

• The agreement with Total Energies ENEOS to install and operate a rooftop solar system at Technip FMC‘s Malaysian facility is its most explicit “distributed energy” partnership of the year. This Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) provides a low-risk, practical model for reducing operational emissions and costs.
• The contract awarded by Chevron for the Gorgon Stage 3 project in Australia is a continuation of a long-standing relationship. This partnership is centered on deploying Technip FMC’s advanced Subsea 2.0® production systems, reinforcing its technological leadership in the traditional subsea market.
• A similar partnership with Equinor for the Johan Sverdrup field tie-in in Norway solidifies its dominance in the North Sea. These legacy partnerships are crucial as they provide the financial stability and client relationships necessary to explore joint ventures in new energy verticals.
