About

RCI Energy Group is a full-service provider of project management and technical support services to the energy industry. Since our founding in 1997, we have built a well-established reputation for delivering sound, execution-driven solutions to clients across the energy industry.

Over nearly three decades, RCI has expanded to encompass multiple specialized service groups, each supported by seasoned technical professionals with deep energy industry expertise.

RCI's sustained growth has earned repeated recognition as an Inc. 5000 top-growth company. We are committed to exceeding client expectations by delivering the highest-quality project management, QA/QC inspection, non-destructive testing, and welder & materials testing services with integrity and professionalism — regardless of project size, scope, or location.

Our Teams

RCI deploys only experienced managers, inspectors, and technical specialists to client engagements. From wellhead to terminal, our professionals are equipped to support your oil and gas operations at every phase of the project lifecycle.

A cornerstone of our approach is the balance between commercial viability and constructibility. While RCI teams have contributed to numerous pioneering oilfield projects, we believe that applying proven, current methods of design and construction remains the most reliable means of managing risk and controlling costs.

RCI maintains an active account with ISNetworld to support compliance with our clients' safety and regulatory requirements. We also operate in full compliance with DISA and its associated client drug and alcohol programs.

Our History

Since 1997, RCI has grown from a focused project management firm into a multi-division energy services organization — a trajectory that reflects our sustained commitment to excellence and client satisfaction.
