Congressman Murphy To Address

Offshore Oil Conference

The Energy Bureau announced that Con- gressman John M. Murphy, Chairman of the

House ad hoc Select Committee on The Outer

Continental Shelf, will keynote its national two-day conference on offshore oil. Entitled "Offshore Oil: Challenge And Change," the conference will be held on November 2 and 3 at The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dallas, Texas.

This conference will examine, discuss and debate the challenges to U.S. offshore oil potential, supply and the environmental move- ment, as well as the changes being wrought by new legislation. There are central ques- tions of supply, environmental challenge and legislation that even today remain unan- swered. The conference brings together, in addition to Congressman Murphy, executives and officials of Government, industry, the professions and public interest groups to probe, illuminate and debate the pivotal issues of offshore oil and gas. The program is de- signed for executives of oil and gas com- panies, as well as those financing and servic- ing the offshore oil industry. The Energy

Bureau, which recently sponsored the first national Outlook For Crude Oil conference, believes this is the first offshore program to direct its attention to these critical questions.

W. Nash, Executive Director, The Energy

Bureau Inc., 101 Park Avenue, New York,

N.Y. 10017.

Ship Delivery Dates

Programmed By Computer

The British Ship Research Association has designed a computer package for use by the shipbuilding industry in establishing key dates in a ship delivery program.

Produced in the form of a Contract Plan- ning Model, it includes a facility to hold on file all the data necessary to establish the launch and completion dates for a whole range of ship types. Thus, when an inquiry is received, it is possible to quickly establish whether or not the shipyard can meet the required delivery dates and what effect the new contract might have on the existing orderbook.

An accompanying user's manual, recently issued to BSRA member companies, enables them to use the model interactively from their own computer terminals.
