Daewoo To Build Offshore Gas/Oil Production Plant Esso Production Malaysia, Inc. (EPMI) has asked Daewoo Ship- building and Heavy Machinery Ltd. to build an offshore oil and gas production plant and to supply a dehydration module for a second plant. The total price of the proj- ects, including owner-furnished equipment, is $35 million. The production plant Daewoo is building will comprise six modules for oil and gas production, two modules for gas compression, and one dehydration module. Upon completion in May 1985, the equipment will be transported by Daewoo to Malaysia's "Guntong 'A' " offshore oil field. A separate dehydration unit is being built for use by a plant in the "Tiong 'A' " offshore oil field; it will also be delivered by May 1985. The plant provides basic oil and gas treatment, compresses gas to be transported to another platform or plant, and removes moisture from gas. Daewoo Shipbuilding last year built and transported two modules for compression and dehydration for EPMI's use in the "Bekok 'C' " offshore oil field. Daewoo Shipbuilding is a mem- ber of the Daewoo Group, founded in 1967 and now one of Korea's largest business groups.

We don't think you should change to another shaft bearing just because it's new. We think you should change because it's better. Over ten years of trials have proven Thordon better than conventional materials — so much better that you can't afford to overlook it on your next refit. Better than rubber, because Thordon has its own built-in-lubricants — it runs quietly at low speeds and can even run dry for short periods without damage. Better than phenolic, because Thordon is abrasion-resistant and doesn't need kid-glove handling during installation or operation. It literally absorbs pounding and keeps on running. Smoothly. Better than wood in every way. And Thordon raw stock is available for machining to size in over 50 countries around the world. Get all the facts on Thordon before you make any decision on shaft bearing refits. Not because it's the most modern bearing material available. But because it's the best. HifirtJrin IT UIORKS HMD.
