How the Company Makes MoneySBM Offshore generates revenue primarily through long-term contracts for leasing and operating FPSO units, which are critical for the extraction and processing of oil and gas in offshore environments. The company's revenue model is largely based on a combination of fixed and variable fees tied to production levels from the fields they serve. Key revenue streams include lease and operate agreements, engineering services for FPSO construction, and maintenance services. Additionally, SBM Offshore often enters into joint ventures and strategic partnerships with major oil and gas companies, which can enhance project financing and risk-sharing, further contributing to its earnings. Factors such as global oil prices, demand for offshore production capabilities, and advancements in technology also significantly influence the company's financial performance.
