KCOI

What KCOI does

KCOI (legal name: Kazakhstan Caspian Offshore Industries LLP) is a privately held EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation) contractor headquartered in Aktau, Mangistau Region, Kazakhstan, founded in 2008 as a joint venture between Italian Rosetti Marino Group and Kazakhstani Caspian Sea Construction LLP. The company delivers full-lifecycle services to oil and gas operators in the Caspian region, covering internal engineering and design (from feasibility through detailed engineering), procurement, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and shipbuilding/repair. Its core product lines include offshore platforms and topside modules, onshore well skids, PIG launcher/receiver skids, Remote Instrument Enclosures (RIE), CT-KZ certified technical containers, Temporary Refuges with Breathing Apparatus, and newbuild/repair shipyard services. Operations are anchored by the Temir-At fabrication yard with a 650-ton capacity crane at jetty, supported by offices in Aktau (registered) and Atyrau.

KCOI serves a narrow set of major Caspian-region IOC and NOC clients, including Karachaganak Petroleum Operating B.V. (KPO), North Caspian Operating Company N.V. (NCOC), Tengizchevroil (TCO), Kazakhstan Petrochemical Industries Inc. (KPI), and the KazMunayGas/Eni joint venture on the Gas Processing Plant (GPP) project. The company has progressively expanded its certification footprint — RINA (first and only RINA-certified shipyard in Kazakhstan), RMRS, ISO 9001/14001/45001, RoK Category I Engineering and Construction licenses, and CT-KZ Kazakhstan origin certification — enabling it to meet local-content mandates and HSSEQ standards demanded by international operators. Revenue model is project-based EPCI contracting with bilaterally negotiated pricing; the company does not disclose revenue publicly and has no funding rounds recorded. Recent strategic activity signals diversification into the renewables vertical through the Mangystau Wind Power Plant & Gas Power Plant project, alongside continued investment in standardized CT-KZ certified product lines for repeat deployment on IOC infrastructure.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Petrofac: Broader EPC / EPCI services firm for onshore and offshore oil & gas; competes on Caspian scopes, particularly larger integrated packages. Less offshore-specialized than KCOI but addresses overlapping tenders.
• Boskalis: Large marine services and offshore contractor with heavy-lift, subsea, and platform installation capabilities — adjacent marine infrastructure overlap with KCOI's offshore / trans-shipment business.

Direct peers

• Sapura Energy: Malaysian-based offshore EPCI and energy services contractor active in offshore platform installation, hook-up, and offshore support — overlapping core offshore EPCI capabilities with KCOI.
• Saipem: Italian-based offshore and onshore EPCI contractor for oil & gas — same origins as KCOI's Rosetti Marino parentage. Active historically on Caspian offshore projects, with comparable jackets, topsides, modules, and subsea installation scope.
• McDermott: Pure-play offshore EPCI contractor (platform fabrication, installation, hook-up, commissioning). Heavier balance sheet and global reach, but directly competes for the same types of topside/jacket fabrication and installation tenders KCOI pursues.
• TechnipFMC: Global EPCI contractor with offshore, subsea, and SURF capabilities overlapping KCOI's offshore platform, module, and subsea structure fabrication; pre-qualifies for many of the same IOC mega-tenders.
• Subsea 7: Specialist in offshore EPCI / subsea construction including pipelay, structural installation, and platform work — comparable scope to KCOI's Caspian offshore fabrications and offshore installation activities.
• Heerema: Dutch offshore heavy-lift and EPCI contractor for jackets, topsides, and decommissioning; competes for the same heavy-lift and platform installation scopes KCOI addresses with its 650-ton crane at Temir-At.
• Allseas: Offshore pipelay, heavy-lift, and platform installation contractor — directly comparable technical scope to KCOI's offshore module installation, pipeline pig-trap scopes, and heavy-lift trans-shipment.

Others

• Rosetti Marino Group: Italian marine and offshore engineering firm and KCOI's founding JV partner; provides engineering technical support to KCOI and operates comparable marine/offshoren EPCI capabilities in Europe and beyond.
