New 34-Page Brochure

Describes Marathon

Offshore Drilling Rigs

The complete line of self-elevat- ing mobile offshore drilling plat- forms designed and manufactured by Marathon LeTourneau Off- shore Co. is illustrated and de- scribed in a new 34-page, full-color brochure which is available on request.

Specifications for the company's newest jackup design, the Super 300, point out the versatility of this rig for harsh environments with its fixed and variable load of 10,500,000 pounds. The combina- tion slot and cantilever drilling pattern allows full design storm capability for drilling exploratory wells through the slot. The Class 150-88-C "Gorilla Rig," designed for the most hostile operating en- vironments, is also explained in detail.

In addition, the brochure provides information on all other classes of

Marathon LeTourneau jackup rigs. It includes a wealth of in- formation, full color photos, draw- ings and a removable fold-out section containing specifications and drawings for seven platform designs.
