How the Company Makes MoneySBM Offshore generates revenue primarily through long-term contracts for the leasing and operation of its FPSOs, which are often secured for 10 to 25 years. The company also earns income from engineering and project management services provided during the development phase of offshore projects. Key revenue streams include the leasing fees from FPSO units, which are typically linked to production volumes, and additional services such as maintenance and operational support. Significant partnerships with major oil companies and participation in high-value projects in regions like Brazil, West Africa, and the Gulf of Mexico further enhance its earnings potential. Additionally, the company benefits from a strong backlog of projects, which provides visibility into future revenues.
