The two units, capable of operating in water depths to 250 feet, most re- cently were employed in the Gulf of Mexico by Salen Offshore Company of Houston. The rigs, Salenergy V and Salen- ergy VI, were built by Swedeyards' Gotaverken Arendal of Sweden in 1980 and 1981, respectively, at a total cost of approximately $71 mil- lion. The purchase price for both units will be $33.5 million. Hugh J. Kelly, ODECO presi- dent and chief executive officer, said the purchase of the two rigs reflects the company's long-term strategy of expanding its drilling fleet during depressed periods of offshore activity, rather than in boom times.

Pace has joined the company as vice chair- man, and will become chairman and chief executive officer when Mr. Lewis retires, but not later than January 1, 1986. Mr. Pace had been vice chairman of TRW Inc., from which he has retired. He has been employed in increasingly important positions with TRW for the past 31 years. Prior to his being named vice chair- man in January 1985, he had served as president and chief operating of- ficer of TRW since 1977.
