Lloyd To Head New Engineering Dept. For Santa Fe Drilling A special engineering depart- ment oriented primarily toward marine operations has been created by Santa Fe Drilling Co. S.H. Lloyd, pioneer in the de- velopment of column-stabilized drilling and construction vessels, has been named senior vice presi- dent of the company and will head the new department. The depart- ment will include marine engineer- ing, equipment engineering, and marine safety groups. Edfred L. Shannon Jr., president of Santa Fe International Corp., of which San- ta Fe Drilling is a subsidiary, said that because of the department's strong marine orientation, it will also have responsibilities in other Santa Fe divisions. Dr. Yoram Goren, technical di- rector of marine operations, will head the marine engineering group, assisted by Svend Jorgensen and C.N. Springett, project engineers. Key members of the equipment engineering group include: H.G. Henderson, technical coordinator of marine engineering; A.S. Hueb- ner, project manager, marine con- struction ; R.R. Sar^ain, technical coordinator of marine construction, and Harry P. Weldon, project en- gineer. Also reporting to Mr. Lloyd will be W.H. Blaylock, technical coordinator of marine safety. Mr. Lloyd and his associates de- veloped the Blue Water class of vessels, including Blue Water No. 1, the first column-stabilized unit to serve as a semisubmersible drill- ing vessel. They also designed and built the Santa Fe Mariner 1, the world's first twin-hulled column- stabilized drilling vessel, and the Choctaw, the world's first twin- hulled column-stabilized derrick and pipelaying barge.
