By the time you read this, our string of world records
will probably all have been broken. By ourselves.

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.
