Because choppy seas often prevent tanker loading, some method for temporarily storing great quantities of oil at sea was called for. The result: CONDEEP- a giant concrete-reinforced production platform with huge storage tanks. A Norwegian innovation, two CONDEEPs have been put in place in the British sector; each cost $300 million and has a storage capacity of 900,000 bbl. The tow alone, 163 miles to one field and 225 miles to another, cost $2.7 million per unit - the biggest and most expensive tugboat operation...

He professed not to know, however, whether the address list was used for registered mail, which sometimes contains confidential and restricted information. Nonetheless, the Chief of Defense issued a command to all units last...
