Levingston Awarded

Drilling Barge Contract

Santa Fe Drilling Company, Los Angeles,

Calif., has awarded a contract for construc- tion of two Lake Maracaibo type drilling barges to Levingston Shipbuilding Co., Or- ange, Texas.

Santa Fe will use the barges to fulfill a two-year contract awarded to Santa Fe Drill- ing Company of Venezuela, C.A., for develop- ment drilling in Lake Maracaibo.

The first barge is expected to be on location and drilling by the end of May and the second by July 15.

The barges will be 180 feet long and 70 feet wide, with a hull depth of 11 feet 3 inches.

Each will have a substructure cantilevered over the stern to support the drilling equip- ment. Each will be equipped with an 8,000- foot diesel electric drilling rig.

DOPPLER VELOCITY LOG

MODEL 582

POWER

Our model 582 Doppler Velocity Log offers superior performance and system accuracy to that of EM and Pitot tube logs at the same installed cost. If you are involved in ocean navigation, channel and harbor maneuvers, speed trials and ships performance checks, docking, dredging, oceanographic research, etc., where velocity resolution and accuracy are critical requirements, and if you are interested in such features as: • Precise speed readings from six inches below the vessel bottom to full ocean depths; • First 200 feet (below transducer) speed readings are relative to the bottom, independent of currents (in greater water depths, readings are given relative to water mass); • Transducer flush-mounted to hull (eliminates need for shallow water retraction); • Stable readings at very low speeds (down to .01 knot); • Interfacing speed log with other ship control systems (i.e., true motion radar, computers, etc.); • Rugged construction; proven reliability then you should send for our complete brochure.
