Athens Group On-track for Record-breaking Year

HOUSTON, Oct. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Athens Group, a leading provider of independent, 3rd-party technology assurance and inspection services for oil and gas drilling and production assets, continues on pace for a record-breaking year of 70% growth. This growth can be attributed to the increased value rig owners and operators place on the systems-based quality assurance services provided by Athens Group, which measurably improve the safety and reliability of drilling and production assets.  

The company's growth is also being fueled by its BOP and Rig Inspection services, which utilize comprehensive and automatically generated inspection checklists based on a proprietary database of international standards and regulations, in addition to increased demand for its industry-leading 3^rd-party Hardware in the Loop (HIL) Verification services.

The company recently relocated its Houston operations to a larger office space in the Energy Corridor on South Dairy Ashford Street and launched a new website to showcase its expanded suite of quality assurance and inspection services at www.athensgroup.com. Athens Group has also extended its service delivery presence beyond Europe, Asia, and Africa into the Middle East and Latin America.
