KANFA Group

What KANFA Group does

KANFA AS, operating as KANFA Group, is a Norwegian independent process design and engineering group founded in 2000 and headquartered in Lysaker, Norway, with an additional engineering office in Trondheim. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technip Energies (Euronext Paris-listed) and employs 51-100 people focused on delivering modularised process solutions for the global offshore oil & gas and energy transition sectors. Its core technology centres on 'Smart Process Modules and Skids' — prefabricated, modularised process equipment designed to reduce on-site installation complexity and cost for offshore and onshore applications.

The company's product portfolio is organised into two verticals: Oil & Gas (separation, water treatment, and utility systems; brownfield modifications and redeployments; combined cycle power generation including HRSG technology for FLNG vessels; gas treatment; and general engineering services) and Decarbonisation (modular CCUS solutions with 10+ years of experience, offshore decarbonisation combining offshore CCS and Green Offshore Hydrogen, and CO2 ship-to-ship transfer engineering). Notable delivered projects include the Golar Fuji FLNG power generation system, two Canopy Pilot Carbon Capture Units to Canada, the M10 Project for offshore processing, and a multi-year engineering partnership with MacGregor on CO2 ship-to-ship offloading solutions.

KANFA generates revenue through project-based professional engineering services and the sale of modular process hardware to enterprise offshore operators and energy transition companies globally. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with multi-year contract durations. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting global offshore oil & gas operators (FPSO owners, FLNG developers) and energy transition players, leveraging the parent company's industry relationships to access pipeline opportunities. Customer base is concentrated on a small set of named enterprise accounts.
