Aker Solutions in October announced the agreement to buy the majority stake in C.S.E. The agreement includes an option for Aker Solutions to purchase the remaining 30 percent of the company three years from now.

The acquisition gives Aker Solutions access to Brazil's growing market for servicing existing oil and gas fields, building on a strategy to expand the company's services business in key international markets. C.S.E., which had revenue of BRL 322 million in 2015, provides maintenance, assembly, commissioning and crane operation services at offshore and onshore facilities.
