McDermott Subsidiary Receives

Letter Of Intent From Aramco

For Crude Oil Storage Facility

C.L. Graves, president and chief executive officer of J. Ray McDermott & Co., Inc., New

Orleans, La., has announced that its foreign subsidiary, Oceanic Contractors, Inc., has re- ceived a letter of intent from the Arabian

American Oil Company (Aramco) for the de- tailed design, fabrication and installation of a crude oil storage facility.

To be constructed at Ju'aymah, Saudi Arabia, the $100,000,000 contract will consist of both onshore and offshore facilities. Construction activities will be conducted by McDermott sub- sidiaries and affiliates. Completion of the base facility is expected in September 1974.

The base facility consists of 3.75 million bar- rels of crude storage with associated piping, booster pumps and shipping pumps capable of loading at approximately 140,000 barrels per hour. Bunker storage and loading are also, in- cluded.

A submarine pipeline 56 inches in diameter will conduct the crude approximately seven miles from the onshore facility to the offshore 12-pile metering platform and its associated 4-pile control platform. A 24-inch diameter pipeline will be installed for bunker fuel.

The crude and bunker will then be conducted through submarine pipelines from the meter- ing platform to two single mooring facilities capable of handling vessels ranging from 100,000 to 500.000 dwt. The first expansion of the system will provide additional facilities for all phases of the initial project.

J. Ray McDermott & Co., Inc., pioneer in offshore construction services in the hydro- carbons mining industry, has offices, fabrica- tion and construction facilities located through- out the world.
