Announcing the strongest, smartest, > stablest, biggest little semi iri offshore.

Finally. The Gulf has a semi it can call its own. The

GranGulf:

Not a semi built for hos- tile environments, but one designed specifically for conditions like the Gulf's.

With a displacement of 23,140 tons. A variable deck load of 4,000 tons. And a moored water depth of 2,000 feet plus.

Per pound of steel, GranGulf will carry more deck load, drill in deeper water, provide a more stable drilling platform, change locations faster and ride storm waves better than semis with equivalent displacement.

No other semi has the GranGulfs unique pontoon design, either.

The design is so advanced and so stable, it's being patented.

GranGulf. The semi design that maximizes A Penn Central company payload, minimizes dis- placement and optimizes drilling opportunities. The design that epitomizes

Marathon LeTourneau's continual search for better ways to reach new drilling opportunities.
