What Koil Energy does

KOIL Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: DPDW) is a Houston-headquartered subsea equipment and services company founded in 1997 that serves deepwater and ultra-deepwater offshore oil and gas operators. The company designs, manufactures, and services subsea distribution systems, umbilical systems, flying leads (including the patented LSFL and Moray Termination System), buoyancy modules, and storage/transportation equipment such as 1,000-9,000 MT carousels, supported by ROV-deployed tools (Bend Stiffener Latcher, Subsea Accumulator Module, Intervention Logic Caps). Operations span a 20-acre, 260,000+ sq ft Houston complex near the Port of Houston, a testing facility in Mobile, Alabama, and a manufacturing site opened in Macaé, Brazil in February 2025.

The business operates an integrated equipment-plus-services model. Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time product sales (subsea hardware and assemblies), project-based professional services (engineering, SIT/FAT, pre-commissioning, installation management, spooling, remediation, refurbishment), and an equipment rental platform (carousels, deployment frames, HPUs, tensioners, buoyancy). Pricing is custom and project-based with multi-year contracts; the customer base consists of deepwater E&P operators, EPCI contractors, and asset-light equipment renters, with notable wins including the supply of 70+ MQC plates for Beacon Offshore Energy's Shenandoah first-oil project and a West Africa umbilical handling award scheduled for H2 2026.

FY2025 revenue was $24.1 million (+6% YoY), with services revenue up 45% and Q4 2025 up 22% YoY to $7.3 million; adjusted EBITDA declined to $1 million from $3.5 million in 2024 as the company invested in Brazil operations, a new 3,500-MT carousel, and IP development. In May 2026 the company secured a $5 million asset-based revolving credit facility from nFusion Capital Finance to fund continued rental fleet expansion, replacing a prior receivables factoring line and leaving no outstanding financial debt aside from lease obligations.

Revenue model

1. Product Sales: Sale of subsea equipment including distribution systems, umbilical termination assemblies, flying leads, buoyancy solutions, storage and transportation equipment. Full-year 2025 product revenue declined slightly despite overall revenue growth.
2. Services Revenue: Engineering services, project management, installation management, umbilical pre-commissioning/testing/monitoring/commissioning, system integration testing, equipment refurbishment, welding services, and pull-in/spooling operations. Services revenue surged 45% in 2025, representing the primary growth driver.
3. Equipment Rental: Rental of subsea equipment including carousels, buoyancy modules, deployment frames, hydraulic power units, tensioners, and other offshore equipment. Identified as a higher-margin growth segment within the offshore services portfolio, with the company expanding its rental fleet using the new $5M credit facility.
