Marathon LeTourneau Company's Brownsville, Texas unit has been awarded a contract for the fabrication of a platform drilling rig by Helmerich & Payne International Drilling Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Helmerich & Payne, Inc. of Tulsa, Okla.

The contract calls for Marathon to fabricate a new platform drilling rig designated H & P Rig 105, along with an 82-person quarters. H & P Rig 91, an existing unit, will be modified and repaired by Marathon.

These projects are the first of their kind to be fabricated at Marathon LeTourneau's Brownsville, Texas, facility. They are part of an effort by the company to expand into markets beyond the area of mobile offshore drilling rigs.
