Siemens Energy Wins 1 GW AI Data Center Turbine Deal and Brazil FPSO Contracts
Siemens Energy has secured two major contracts, including a deal with Babcock & Wilcox to supply 20 steam turbines totaling 1 GW of capacity for AI data center power projects, and a separate agreement with SBM Offshore to provide power generation and gas compression systems for Petrobras-operated FPSO units in Brazilian offshore fields. The contracts extend Siemens Energy's footprint in data center power infrastructure and offshore oil and gas, adding to an already large backlog that the company has flagged as a potential source of working capital strain and execution risk. The 1 GW data center turbine deal reinforces the potential for gas power contracts to benefit from surging electricity demand, while the Petrobras-related work aligns with diversified international order intake and service potential.

SBM Offshore selects Siemens Energy for Brazil Sergipe-Alagoas FPSOs
SBM Offshore has selected Siemens Energy to supply power generation and gas compression systems for two floating production, storage and offloading vessels destined for Petrobras' platforms in Brazil's Sergipe-Alagoas basin. The equipment will be installed on the P-81 and P-87 FPSOs, which are part of the SEAP I and SEAP II developments respectively, and together are designed to produce up to 240,000 barrels of oil and process up to 22 million cubic metres of natural gas per day. Under the agreement, Siemens Energy will deliver a total of 16 modular systems, with eight units allocated to each platform, including four gas turbine generators, three gas turbine-driven compressor trains, and one electrically driven compressor per FPSO. The majority of the equipment will be assembled at Siemens Energy's facility in Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, Brazil, with the first consignment scheduled for delivery by the end of 2027 and the remainder in 2028. Initial production is anticipated to commence in 2030, with gas exports expected to begin in 2031.

SBM Offshore Raises 2026 Guidance After Record First Half
SBM Offshore raised its full-year 2026 guidance after reporting a record first half. Directional revenue increased to $4.9 billion and directional EBITDA nearly doubled to $1.3 billion, driven by new contracts including the FPSO SEAP 1 and SEAP 2 awards from Petrobras and a feed contract for ExxonMobil Guyana's long-tail development. The company's backlog reached a record $35.6 billion, and it now expects full-year directional revenue of around $7.6 billion and directional EBITDA of around $1.9 billion. Fleet uptime remained around 99% across 16 operating units, and the company is on track to deliver a minimum of $2.1 billion in shareholder returns for 2026-2031. The sale of FPSO One Guyana and a minority interest in FPSO Dalji helped reduce net debt to $3.7 billion, though the company noted a fatality at a subcontractor's yard in China and ongoing working capital drag.
