Technip FMC LNG Project Wins, $22 B Backlog, Chevron Contract, $10 B Order Target, and 5 Major Agreements (2025)
LNG Project Execution, Technip FMC’s Integrated Model Secures Major EPC Contracts
Technip FMC secured a market-leading position in the 2025 Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) construction cycle by executing a strategy centered on its integrated project delivery model and proprietary subsea technology, allowing it to capture high-value, complex contracts. This approach was validated through major project awards that capitalized on a global push to expand LNG capacity, which is expected to add 300 billion cubic meters per year by 2030.
- The company’s integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (i EPCI™) model was instrumental in securing a massive Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract for the Arctic LNG 2 project in September 2025 as part of a consortium with Saipem and NIPIGAS.
- In December 2025, the firm’s technological edge was highlighted when Chevron awarded it a significant contract to supply its proprietary Subsea 2.0® production systems for the Gorgon Stage 3 project in Australia.
- Further demonstrating its front-end capabilities, Technip FMC, in partnership with JGC, was awarded two Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contracts in August 2025 for the INPEX Abadi LNG project, positioning it at the earliest stages of project architecture.
- This strategy of offering integrated, technology-led solutions differentiates Technip FMC from competitors, insulating it from pure price competition and establishing it as a critical partner for complex energy developments like the Mozambique LNG project, where it is part of a consortium building the onshore facilities for Exxon Mobil.

Technology Maturity, Technip FMC’s Subsea 2.0® Reaches Commercial Scale
In 2025, Technip FMC’s proprietary Subsea 2.0® system transitioned from a novel technology to a commercially proven, key differentiator, validated by its selection for a major international project. This shift marks the successful culmination of a multi-year research, development, and qualification effort.
- The period between 2021 and 2024 was characterized by the development, piloting, and initial qualification of the Subsea 2.0® platform, proving its technical viability on a smaller scale.
- The pivotal moment of commercial validation occurred in December 2025, when Chevron selected the Subsea 2.0® production systems for its large-scale Gorgon Stage 3 project in Australia.
- This award demonstrates that the technology, which integrates subsea components into a more compact and cost-effective system, is now considered a mature, bankable solution by major energy producers for reducing project complexity and cost.
- The technology’s success is amplified by its inclusion in Technip FMC’s i EPCI™ offering, a mature commercial model that packages proprietary technology with project execution to create a distinct market advantage.
