The product line to be acquired by GE will go to market under the Oceaneering Subsea All Electric and Ifokus brand.
The agreement will see Oceaneering’s 16-strong Stavanger-based engineering team join GE Oil & Gas. It will then be transitioned into the Subsea Systems business, which also operates in Stavanger, Norway.
The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals, is anticipated to be closed in the first quarter of 2015, and will expand GE’s existing subsea controls product line portfolio.
