Brochure Offered By AMOT On Engine Safety Shut Down Systems AMOT Controls, Inc., Richmond, Calif., recently announced their hy- dro-mechanical safety shut down system. This new system can moni- tor low lube oil pressure, high jacket water or lube oil temperature, cool- ant loss, high bearing temperature and overspeed. Systems can be spe- cially designed to shut down engine intake air, the fuel injection pump, or the fuel supply line when a prob- lem is detected in the engine. This new system is ideal for use aboard tugs, barges and oil spill clean-up equipment. Some of the features of this new system are: its heavy duty corro- sion-resistant construction for ma- rine use; non-electric, spark-less operation suitable for hazardous areas; no wires; and loss of lube oil pressure from a plugged lube oil line or a break in the line will shut down the engine. AMOT's new system comes with a choice of a variety of sensing de- vices and shut down methods. The company also provides any neces- sary hoses or fittings in order to make the system functional. AMOT Controls specializes in manufacturing complete engine safety shut down systems operating solely on engine lube oil pressure.

Once relocated southeast of its current site, 200 miles off the coast of Newfoundland in the Grand Banks, the rig will straddle two oil fields within the Hibernia discov- ery, the Hibernia and Avalon struc- tures that are together estimated to contain 650 million barrels of oil. The move will allow the consortium, lead by Mobil Oil Canada, Ltd., to save $420 million by eliminating several subsea wells that were origi- nally planned to tap the Avalon structure. The Canadian government and Mobil Oil Canada are hoping that the savings will attract new part- ners to the consortium, which also includes Chevron Canada Re- sources, Ltd., and government- owned Petro-Canada. A 25 percent shareholder in the consortium, Gulf Canada Resources, Ltd., recently left the group because of high opera- tional costs.
