Business Booms in Katy–$20 Million Construction Project Announced

PathFinder Energy Builds Katy TX Facility

PathFinder Energy Services, Inc., a Houston based company, has announced it has begun work on their new corporate location in Katy.  The 34-acre site is located near the northwest corner of Colonial Parkway and the Grand Parkway on the north side of I-10. The site is adjacent to the 800,000 square-foot 99-Cents-Only warehouse.

This influx of PathFinder employees to the Katy area will be a boon to Katy real estate particularly to homes on the market.

According to The Houston Chronicle, “The firm anticipates spending more than $20 million on the technology center. Plans are to build a two-story facility and other buildings for a total of 225,000 square feet of space.”

Quoting PathFinder’s website, PathFinder is “one of a few companies worldwide that currently has the technological capability to offer a full complement of logging-while-drilling products and services.”

The Houston Chronicle continues, “PathFinder specializes in logging-while-drilling tools <that> provide real-time data about the physical properties of down-hole formations. In addition to indicating the possible presence of hydrocarbons, this data also assists in improving drilling performance.”

The new corporate location is anticipated to open in mid-2010. It will consolidate staff from several existing Houston-area PathFinder offices bringing real estate buyers to Katy.
