What Aker Solutions does

Aker Solutions ASA is a Norwegian-headquartered energy services company providing integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) services to the global energy industry. Founded in 1841 and headquartered in Fornebu, Norway, the company serves major oil and gas operators (Equinor, Aker BP, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil Canada) as well as industrial emitters pursuing decarbonization through carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). With 11,800 employees across 36 office locations in Norway, the UK, India, Malaysia, the US, and Canada, Aker Solutions operates across three principal domains: subsea production systems (including a 20% stake in the SLB OneSubsea joint venture, holding 20% market share in subsea trees), CCUS and new energies projects (Northern Lights, Brevik, Hafslund Celsio, Oslo CCS), and lifecycle services spanning asset integrity, maintenance, modifications, and operations.

The company's technology stack combines traditional offshore engineering capabilities with digital systems delivered through the Aker Digital Alliance (ADA), a platform connecting Aker Solutions, Aker BP, Cognite, and Aize for digital twin, augmented reality, and additive manufacturing workflows. Proprietary digital tools include the IX, VCP, CE, and PEC applications plus the Aize browser, the Visioneering Center in Stavanger for immersive simulation, the ADDMO additive manufacturing operations center, and the EcoLense LCA tool for automated environmental product declarations. The Entr consultancy sub-brand provides front-end engineering across hydrogen, CCUS, offshore wind, and electrical transmission markets, while a 2026 MoU with Rolls-Royce SMR extends the offering into small modular reactor module manufacturing.

Aker Solutions generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) project-based EPC contracts for subsea, CCUS, and offshore infrastructure, typically valued NOK 1-12 billion and recognized over multi-year durations; (2) long-term maintenance, modification, and operations (MMO) frame agreements with Norwegian Continental Shelf operators on five-to-six-year cycles, with recent Equinor and Aker BP awards each valued at NOK 8-12 billion; and (3) dividend income from the 20% SLB OneSubsea joint venture stake, which generated NOK 841 million in 2025. Sales occur through competitive tendering with enterprise-grade buyers under multi-year sales cycles. FY2025 revenue reached NOK 63.2 billion (+19% YoY) at an 8.4% EBITDA margin, with a record order backlog of NOK 80.2 billion at Q1 2026 and management guiding 2026 revenue of approximately NOK 50 billion at 7.0-7.5% EBITDA margins.
