By the time you read this, our string of world records

will probably all have been broken. By ourselves.

In 1986, Francis Brown founded F.J. Brown & Associates (F.J. Brown), a consulting firm whose mission was to gather the best people to manage drilling operations worldwide, specializing on deep water and HPHT wells in the Gulf of Mexico, West Africa and the Far East. The company has grown since its inception and in 2007, the AGR Group acquired F.J. Brown, making it part of AGR Petroleum Services. Today, AGR F.J. Brown manages more than 130 consultants around the world, with 25 employees plus a full support staff working from their Houston office.

There’s no substitute for experience

Our broad, global experience in a vast number of normally and abnormally pressured environments is what separates us from the competition.The chances are, we have worked where you need us. The company has vast experience (senior management has over 150 years’ collective oil industry experience) planning and implementing drilling projects in remote and hostile environments including deep water, jungle, desert and arctic locations.

This experience extends to: exploratory and development projects utilizing semi-submersibles, drill-ships, jack-ups and platform rigs, workovers and re-completions, single and multi-well P&A programs and subsea development

projects.
