Crutcher Subsidiary

Has Option To Purchase

New Workover Rig

Crutcher Resources Corpora- tion, P.O. Box 3227, Houston,

Texas 77001, has announced that

Mallard Well Service, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary in Laf- ayette, La., has leased, with an option to purchase, a recently completed offshore self-propelled jackup workover rig from Serv- ices, Equipment and Engineering (SEE) of Houma, La.

Don H. Hartmann, president of

Crutcher Resources, also an- nounced that James Harper, pres- ident of SEE, has joined Crutcher

Resources as an engineering con- sultant specializing in offshore projects. "Mr. Harper brings ex- tensive experience in innovation and design of drilling, construc- tion and workover equipment to us as we continue to expand our petroleum services operations,"

Mr. Hartmann said.

The leased rig extends Mallard operations to offshore locations with workover and completion capabilities to 10,000 feet in as much as 60 feet of water. Mal- lard's present fleet of 10 inland water workover rigs operates up to 25,000 feet deep. 'While the

September 15, 1974 49 working water depth of the new offshore rig represents an exten- sion of Mallard's services, the personnel and the market served closely parallel Mallard's present operations," Mr. Hartmann said.

Mallard will be evaluating the new rig's performance with ten- tative plans to build additional units with the aid of ship financ- ing available under Title XI, the

Merchant Marine Act.

The workover rig is self-pro- pelled and moves from job to job at 8 to 10 knots. It has living quarters for 16 men and an 80- by 40-foot main deck.

Prior to forming Services,

Equipment and Engineering, Mr.

Harper served for six years as vice president and general man- ager of Dresser Offshore Services,

Inc., Houston. He had also been drilling and production superin- tendent for J. Ray McDermott,

Inc., Houston.

Mr. Harper is a member of the

American Institute of Metallurgi- cal Engineers (AIME), the Inter- national Association of Drilling

Contractors (IADC) and the

American Petroleum Institute. He received his B.S. degree in petro- leum engineering from Louisiana

Tech.
