VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT OFFICIALLY DEDICATES
EL TABLAZO PETROCHEMICAL FACILITIES
Maracaibo, Venezuela, March ..Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez today
officially dedicated major units of a giant petrochemical complex at E1 Tablazo,
on the shores of Lake Maracaibo.
The ceremonies at the nearly-$1-billion complex coincided with the start
of operations of the facility's major olefins plant, which has a design capacity
of 150,000 metric tons a year of ethylene and 95,000 metric tons a year of propy-
lene. The massive complex will be operated by Instituto Venezolano de Petro-
quimica, Venezuela's petrochemical agency, of which General Valentin Montana Madriz
is director general.
Officials of the Pullman Kellogg division of Pullman Incorporated and of
Kellogg Pan American Corporation, a Pullman Kellogg affiliate, attended the
dedication ceremonies. Kellogg had full design, engineering, procurement, and
construction responsibility for the olefins unit. Kellogg also had overall
management responsibility for the critically-important technical services --- or
offsites -- for the entire complex.

VENEZUELA DEDICATES IVP...2.2.2
The technical services responsibilities included engineering, worldwide
procurement, construction, construction management, and management of Venezuelan
subcontracts relating to site preparation for the entire complex; utilities,
including a 110-megawatt power plant and required utility distribution; feed and
product storage, transfer and loading facilities, including metering and meter-
proving facilities; waste treatment and collection systems; port facilities
encompassing four piers and one wharf capable of berthing both ships and barges;
bag and bulk solid handling facilities; flare systems; and other on- and off-site
facilities.
This massive support system has been designed to permit 100 percent expansion
at the E1 Tablazo site, in keeping with the Venezuelan government's plan to
continue strengthening its petrochemical capabilities.
The Kellogg-designed-and-constructed olefins unit receives its feed from a
natural gas extraction facility at El Tablazo which has a design capacity of
170,000 metric tons a year of ethane and 150,000 metric tons of propane. In turn,
the olefins unit will supply feed to a 50,000-metric-ton-a-year low-density poly-
ethylene plant and a 50,000-metric-ton-a-year mono and polyvinyl chloride unit.
It also supplies both ethylene and propylene for export.
Other processing units in the complex include two 330,000-metric-ton-a-year
ammonia plants; two 400,000-metric-ton-a-year urea plants; a 15,000-metric-ton-a-
year polystyrene facility; and a chlorine-caustic soda plant capable of producing
45,000 metric tons a year of chlorine and 35,000 metric tons a year of caustic
soda.

INDIAN AMMONIA PLANT AWARD
GOES TO KELLOGG INTERNATIONAL
Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited has awarded
contracts to Kellogg International Corporation, London, and Kellogg
India Limited, New Delhi, relative to a 1000-ton-a-day fertilizer
ammonia plant to be constructed at Phulpur, in the state of Uttar
Pradesh in north India. Both companies are affiliates of the
Pullman Kellogg division of Pullman Incorporated, Houston.
The contracts call for design, engineering, procurement and
construction advisory services for the large-scale, single-train
ammonia plant, which is part of an ammonia/urea complex previously
announced by IFFCO. Kellogg India Limited will provide inspection
and expediting services within India, and will serve as construction
advisors.
Value of the ammonia awards was not revealed, but IFFCO offi-
cials said the foreign exchange cost of the entire Phulpur project
is estimated at $109 million. The undisclosed rupee cost of the
project, they say, will be met by the cooperative members of IFFCO,
the government of India, state governments, and other Indian
the
financing institutions.

INDIAN AMMONIA PLANT
2.2.2
The Phulpur complex, which will use naphtha as a feedstock
for the key ammonia unit, will have an annual capacity of 495,000
tons of urea. IFFCO officials feel this could add five million
tons of food production each year. Anticipated completion date
of the complex is 1979.
Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited is comprised
of more than 30,000 village cooperatives with an aggregate member-
ship of 20 million farmers spread over ten Indian states.
Last year, Pullman Kellogg completed a similar facility for
IFFCO, as part of a major agricultural chemical complex at Kalol,
Gujarat. That plant, which uses natural gas as feedstock, was
the first large-scale, single-train, all-centrifugal Kellogg
ammonia plant in India. An earlier Pullman Kellogg plant with a
360-ton-a-day capacity, went into operation in India in 1967.

Dear Stephanie:
We were generally quite pleased with the feature you did on PRC activities
and, as we discussed the other day, we have reviewed this carefully here at
Kellogg. In reviewing it we made a number of changes, all of which must be made
before the story appears in print. We realize that you will perhaps question
some of these; however, each one has been discussed carefully and it has been
agreed that this approved text is the only text which we will permit. I think
you will agree that it retains most of the information; clarifies some of it
significantly and does not detract from the very excellent picture you verbally
portrayed.
You will perhaps recall, Stephanie, that the initial request for the
Council to discuss PRC with Kellogg was made with Nick and that we obtained
approval, after much discussion here, on the condition that this was to be a
general conversation for Council briefing. The initial request was not for
permission to be a major feature, although it was indicated that some material
might be used in your magazine and such material would be cleared with us. This
change to a major feature was not originally anticipated by our management when
the request came in. We have attempted to cooperate with you completely on it
and the approved draft is acceptable to us only on the condition that it be run
as edited. As a major member of the Council, we do insist that this condition
be adhered to.
Congratulations on a very good story. We have ordered a series of pictures
and will send them with captions. They will be enroute shortly.
Best personal regards,

Dear Mr. Hallinan:
I am resorting to a letter since, as you know, I am away
this week with Liaison Office personnel visiting various
iron mines.
I was able to reach Mr. Anthony Bryan of Cameron last
Wednesday, and he confirmed there should be no difficulty in
making their aircraft available for Washington/Houston on
January 9 and Houston/New Orleans on January 13. However,
Mr. Bryan did request that, if possible, the Council/ISC/
Cameron dinner be scheduled for Monday evening, January 10th,
instead of Tuesday, the 11th, since he will be away from
Houston Tuesday evening. I recognize we had tentatively
scheduled the Kellogg dinner for Monday, but if plans have
not progressed too far, perhaps Tuesday evening would be suitable
as a kind of "farewell" if you will to the group. We would
not make any other changes to the program, in the sense that
during Monday they would visit with you and Tuesday with
Cameron and NASA.
We may receive some further input from the Chinese during
the trip this week, and we will be in touch. In the meantime,
we look forward to seeing you December 6th at 2:00 PM.
Kind regards.

Dear Mr. Yanak,
In the September issue of For Your Information, the
Pullman Kellogg company newsletter, a review appeared of
your speech on technology transfer which was presented at
the Second Pacific Chemical Engineering Conference. We
would like very much to obtain a copy of the speech, if
possible; we are planning a conference on technology trans-
fer to the People's Republic of China for next spring and
at present striving to collect all relevant documentation.
Pullman Kellog's contribution to developing countries in
the realm of technology has been very great, and we are
especially interested in your reflections and those of
other company officers on the transfer process.
In addition to your paper, if you are aware of other
company literature on Pullman's projects in China to which
we may have access, we would be very grateful to receive
them.
Yours,
Edith Edith Terry Terry

Dear Mr. Kalkhurst:
As one of the original member companies of the National Council
for U.S. -China Trade we, as you know, maintain an active interest in the
People's Republic of China and in the work of the Council. At the time
that the Council organized the various committees representing different
interests of its members we, because of our diversification, did not seek
to identify ourselves with any particular group. While our current con-
tracts in the PRC are in the ammonia-fertilizer field we as a company are
also active in petroleum, petrochemical and chemical plant design engi-
neering and construction.
The Petroleum Committee of the National Council appears to have
the broadest coverage as related to the Pullman Kellogg activities and
accordingly we would like to request an opportunity to participate in
the Petroleum Committee. Pullman Kellogg is represented in Washington
through the office of Pullman Incorporated, and Mr. E.M. Hallinan in
Washington, Mr. W.M. Buryn in Houston, as well as myself in New York are
already on the mailing list of the National Council.
It would be most appreciated if Pullman Kellogg can be included
on the Petroleum Committee and the same individuals also kept informed
with regard to its program and activities.
Thanking you, I remain
Very truly yours,

C. 20036\nDear Stephanie:\nWe were generally quite pleased with the feature you did on PRC activities\nand, as we discussed the other day, we have reviewed this carefully here at\nKellogg. In reviewing it we made a number of changes, all of which must be made\nbefore the story appears in print. We realize that you will perhaps question\nsome of these; however, each one has been discussed carefully and it has been\nagreed that this approved text is the only text which we will permit. I think\nyou will agree that it retains most of the information; clarifies some of it\nsignificantly and does not detract from the very excellent picture you verbally\nportrayed.\nYou will perhaps recall, Stephanie, that the initial request for the\nCouncil to discuss PRC with Kellogg was made with Nick and that we obtained\napproval, after much discussion here, on the condition that this was to be a\ngeneral conversation for Council briefing. The initial request was not for\npermission to be a major feature, although it was indicated that some material\nmight be used in your magazine and such material would be cleared with us. This\nchange to a major feature was not originally anticipated by our management when\nthe request came in. We have attempted to cooperate with you completely on it\nand the approved draft is acceptable to us only on the condition that it be run\nas edited. As a major member of the Council, we do insist that this condition\nbe adhered to.\nCongratulations on a very good story. We have ordered a series of pictures\nand will send them with captions. They will be enroute shortly.\nBest personal regards,\nnw\nFORD LIBRARY UTV83\nRay Waters\nManager, Public Relations\nP.S. Please use this retyped draft for typesetting.

I recognize we had tentatively\nscheduled the Kellogg dinner for Monday, but if plans have\nnot progressed too far, perhaps Tuesday evening would be suitable\nas a kind of \"farewell\" if you will to the group.

At the time\nthat the Council organized the various committees representing different\ninterests of its members we, because of our diversification, did not seek\nto identify ourselves with any particular group. While our current con-\ntracts in the PRC are in the ammonia-fertilizer field we as a company are\nalso active in petroleum, petrochemical and chemical plant design engi-\nneering and construction.\nThe Petroleum Committee of the National Council appears to have\nthe broadest coverage as related to the Pullman Kellogg activities and\naccordingly we would like to request an opportunity to participate in\nthe Petroleum Committee. Pullman Kellogg is represented in Washington\nthrough the office of Pullman Incorporated, and Mr. E.M. Hallinan in\nWashington, Mr. W.M. Buryn in Houston, as well as myself in New York are\nalready on the mailing list of the National Council.\nIt would be most appreciated if Pullman Kellogg can be included\non the Petroleum Committee and the same individuals also kept informed\nwith regard to its program and activities.\nThanking you, I remain\nVery truly yours,\nJAP:db\nFORD & LIBRARY GERALD\nWorld headquarters for M.W.
