This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.

Fossil Fuel Services
Since Jul 28, 2021

Helix Energy Solutions Group is an international offshore energy services company whose core business is supporting oil and gas production. The company specializes in well intervention, robotics, and full-field decommissioning services for offshore energy projects. Its operations are focused on maximizing production from existing oil and gas reserves and managing end-of-life assets, primarily on the Gulf of Mexico shelf. This places Helix within the upstream and midstream segments of the fossil fuel value chain, providing essential services for the exploration, extraction, and maintenance of offshore hydrocarbon resources.

The company's business model is intrinsically linked to the lifecycle of oil and gas fields. Its services, including well intervention and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operations, are deployed to extend the productive life of existing reserves and to decommission them at end-of-life. In August 2025, Helix was awarded a multi-year contract in the Gulf of Mexico, underscoring its ongoing role in supporting offshore fossil fuel infrastructure. While decommissioning is a necessary activity, Helix’s primary focus and revenue driver remain the support of ongoing oil and gas production, with no announced strategic shift away from fossil fuels.

Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
