Technip and FMC said Thursday that the two companies will merge after a successful alliance through Forsys. This is the second time an alliance has led to M&A after Schlumberger acquired Cameron.

The merged company, TechnipFMC, will have an expected revenue of approximately $17 billion in 2016. Within the subsea space, it will control roughly 27% of the market and supply complete subsea production systems, SURF and subsea life-of-field services.
