By GlobalDataOnce the private sale transaction completes, TechnipFMC will hold around 12.3% stake in Technip Energies.
Headquartered in Paris, France, Technip Energies is an engineering and technology company primarily serving energy and downstream markets.
It has around 15,000 employees with operations in 34 countries.
Notably, TechnipFMC spun off Technip Energies earlier this year as an independent publicly traded company.
The move was undertaken to provide the two companies with specific customer bases and growth opportunities.
Since its spin off, TechnipFMC has been gradually reducing its stake in Technip Energies.
Earlier this year, TechnipFMC and Halliburton were selected by ExxonMobil to provide the fibre optic solution for the $9bn Payara field development project offshore Guyana.
