Geosource Inc., and to McClelland

Engineers Inc., both of Houston.

Recipients will be honored at the

OTC Awards Luncheon on May 5 at 12:15 pm in the Astrohall Ball- room.

Mr. Mayne will receive the OTC

Award for Individuals for his contri- butions to the science of geophysical exploration. He invented the com- mon depth point (CDP) method used in nearly all offshore seismic and exploration work. The CDP is largely responsible for the noise re- duction that makes it possible to perform seismic work under contin- uous tow. No single technique has contributed more to the success of offshore seismic work and petro- leum exploration.

The 1986 recipient of the OTC

Distinguished Achievement Award for Companies, McClelland Engi- neers, has made distinct and unique contributions to marine geotechni- cal engineering for 38 years. The firm's development of engineering techniques for analysis and design of offshore structure foundations, and procedures and equipment for geotechnical data acquisition have benefited materially the safety and cost aspects of foundations for off- shore structures.

CUMMINS VTA28-M

Taking the proven, reliable 5 VJ' x 6" bore and stroke V-12 design, and using the latest diesel technology, Cummins delivers a new, more powerful engine matched to the tough requirements of today's marine industry.

Rated 675 continuous bhp at 1800 rpm, the powerful yet compact VTA28-M is an im- provement of 55 bhp with less than one gallon-per-hour in- crease in fuel consumption.

More powerful with no sacrifice in fuel consumption. That, coupled with Cummins full package support of on-the-spot technical assistance, installa- tion recommendations, com- puterized propeller selection, and instrumented sea trials brings a new, clear choice in marine propulsion to owners and captains around the world.

And you can always depend on the Cummins Distributor and

Marine Dealer network, one of the most extensive in the indus- try, to provide expert service, complete service facilities, and repair part inventories.
