World Wide Diesel, Inc. was recently awarded a $2.3-million contract by Ocean Drilling and Exploration Co. (ODECO) to provide a complete SCR drill rig power package. The package consists of six units powered by remanufactured ALCO 16-251-F diesel engines coupled to new 2,500-kw, 600-volt Louis Allis generators.
World Wide Diesel is presently packaging the units at its Pasadena, Texas, facility. They are scheduled for delivery in January 1982 to the Port of Houston, then to Japan where they will be installed on ODECO's offshore drilling unit "Ocean Ranger II."
World Wide Diesel is a leading supplier of diesel power systems both new and remanufactured. The company provides sales and support services to the industrial, marine, and drilling industries.
