TechnipFMC plc FTI has secured a large integrated Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (iEPCI) contract from BP p.l.c. BP for the Tiber project, marking another step forward in ultra-high-pressure deepwater development in the Gulf of America. The award highlights BP’s push to replicate proven execution models while advancing its first generation of 20,000 psi Paleogene projects.
Building on the Kaskida Blueprint
The Tiber contract directly builds on engineering and equipment work already underway for BP’s Kaskida project, which was awarded to TechnipFMC in 2024. By leveraging this ongoing work, BP aims to reduce complexity and improve efficiency across similar greenfield developments. This repeatable iEPCI approach allows lessons, designs and technologies from Kaskida to be applied systematically to Tiber.
Integrated Delivery in a Mature Basin
According to TechnipFMC, currently carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), the project reflects a broader shift toward technology-enabled, integrated delivery within established basins. The company emphasizes that collaboration between operator and contractor is as critical as technical innovation. This model is designed to shorten timelines, manage execution risk and unlock value in challenging deepwater environments.
A Significant Order for TechnipFMC
Valued between $600 million and $800 million, the Tiber iEPCI contract represents a substantial addition to TechnipFMC’s order intake and was included in inbound orders for the fourth quarter of 2025. The award reinforces FTI’s position in high-pressure subsea developments and underscores growing momentum behind BP’s Paleogene strategy.
