CB&I has finalized its acquisition of Petrofac's Asset Solutions business, enhancing its operations, maintenance, wells, and decommissioning capabilities across onshore and offshore energy assets. The transaction, initially announced in December 2025,
integrates approximately 3,000 employees into CB&I and expands its presence in reimbursable contracting services. This acquisition strengthens CB&I's services portfolio and supports its strategy to diversify into integrated offerings, while expanding its international footprint and customer base.
Why It's Important?
The acquisition of Petrofac's Asset Solutions business is a strategic move for CB&I, allowing it to broaden its service capabilities and enhance its market position. By integrating a complementary reimbursable contracting business, CB&I can deliver predictable cash flow and improve service delivery.
