Stingray Pipeline Co. has completed its 1974 goal of laying 228 miles of 12 to 36 in. pipeline off western Louisiana. An onshore compressor station will be built in 1974, an offshore one next year. The project attaches new gas reserves, estimated at 3 trillion cf, in 17 offshore blocks in the West and East Cameron and Vermillion areas including their south additions. Total cost of the Stingray project, the largest to be built in the Gulf of Mexico in several years, is $154.7 million, of which $121 million is for 1974 construction. Construction of this season's work for Stingray used more than half the Gulf's offshore pipelaying equipment of the 2 largest offshore pipeline builders in the world: Brown and Root Inc. and J. R. McDermott Co. A maximum depth record for the Gulf was set at 365 ft. On some days, as much as 5 miles of subsea line was laid. Over 1000 men were required to man the 9 vessels used to lay and bury pipe.
