Riser Platform Jacket

Successfully Installed

Amoco has announced that the installation of the jacket on the Cen- tral Area Transmission System riser platform has been successfully com- pleted. The platform is located in the North Everest gas field about 140 miles east of Aberdeen.

The platform will be the central location for the North Everest and

Lomond gas fields, both of which are operated by Amoco. UIE and RGC of Scotland are manufacturing the jackets for the platforms located in both gas fields.

Oil-water separators for environmental treatment of industrial wastewater and marine skimmer discharge

Systems Protecting Nature

ON LAND, ACS separators save discharge costs with high capacity in a small space, coalescing micron drop- lets into 99% pure oil. Reliable, pro- grammable automation makes for con- fidence in regulatory compliance.

AT SEA, MSRC spill response ves- sels are equipped exclusively with ACS separators, discharging all skimmed water sheen-free and hauling only oil.

Our patented solvent injection method handles heavy crude in any proportions.

THE KEY lies in carefully engineered sequences of coalescer plates and knit- ted mesh, operated in optimum fashion by advanced controls. We have earned our expertise by solving customers'sep- aration problems over many decades.

Shell Oil's Marine

Department Meets

ISO 9000 Standards

Shell Oil Company recently an- nounced that its marine department was the first major U.S. oil company marine organization to meet the in- ternational standards for quality assurance called ISO 9000.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was started in order to develop stan- dards which companies could use as a prerequisite for the quality man- agement process. ISO 9000 stan- dards have been adopted in more than 40 countries around the world.

The marine department at Shell is responsible for arranging safe and environmentally sound tanker and barge transportation to and from the company's refineries and termi- nals.

The British Standards Institu- tion awarded Shell's certification earlier this year. The registration certifies Shell Marine's services of inspecting, clearing, chartering and scheduling vessels, inspection and approval of dock facilities and emer- gency response.
