FELS Gets $81-Million Oil Rig Contract It was recently announced that the Santa Fe International Corpora- tion has placed an order worth about $81,195,000 with Far East Le- vingston Shipbuilding Ltd. (FELS), Singapore, for the construction of a jack-up oil rig. Delivery is scheduled for early 1992. This award is the fourth of its kind that FELS has in its order- book, and is the third they will be building for Santa Fe. Choo Chiau Beng, managing director, said that the order from Santa Fe "reflects the growing demand for a new gen- eration of jackups as...a cost-effec- tive alternative to semi-submersi- bles and platform rigs in harsh envi- ronment^]." Meanwhile, Gordon M. Ander- son, the president of Santa Fe Drilling, said that the company ex- pects to experience what he called "an escalating rig demand into the 90's." Mr. Anderson also said, "Santa Fe is committed to maintain a modern offshore drilling fleet."

Soundcoat Offers Adhesives To Complement Acoustical Materials The Soundcoat Company, Deer Park, N.Y. has engineered a variety of adhesives, designed in combina- tion with their acoustical materials, to serve a wide range of needs. Soundcoat adhesives have under- gone tests to determine their reli- ability under a variety of conditions including heat, humidity, chemicals, shocks, and vibrations. The result: Soundcoat acoustical materials come complete with a convenient and effective adhesive system, eith- er pressure-sensitive, epoxy-based, or sprayable liquid, ready for use on the assembly line or for field retrofit at a cost-effective price.
