Giant Hondo oil rig rises off Santa Barbara coast
Exxon engineers completed an 850 foot submerged platform named Hondo, an eight leg steel structure designed to drill more than two miles deep in water up to 1 400 feet. The rig, 1 163 feet tall with 850 feet underwater, aims for 25 000 barrels daily by 1978, amid coastal regulatory battles over onshore processing and pipeline versus tanker transport.
