Port Sulphur, LA, United States

Our immediate predecessor, McMoRan Oil & Gas Co., commenced operations in May 1994 following the distribution of all of its common stock to the stockholders of Freeport-McMoRan Inc., its former parent company. The purpose of that transaction was to allow McMoRan Oil & Gas to rebuild, with essentially the same management and exploration team, the oil and gas exploration business previously conducted by Freeport-McMoRan Inc. Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and its predecessors had engaged in oil and gas exploration, development and production activities since the early 1970s, and during the 1980s it was among the most active drillers in the Gulf of Mexico . As part of an asset restructuring program to raise new capital to exploit other significant business opportunities (including the development of a world class copper and gold deposit in Indonesia discovered in 1988), Freeport-McMoRan Inc. sold numerous assets in various transactions during the late 1980s and early 1990s. These asset sales included the vast majority of its producing oil and gas properties. Sales proceeds from these properties totaled approximately $1.3 billion. As a result, McMoRan Oil & Gas commenced operations in 1994 with an extensive geological and geophysical data base, as well as extensive technical and operational expertise, but with only a small group of exploration prospects and limited financial resources. Following its separation from Freeport-McMoRan Inc., McMoRan Oil & Gas pursued a business plan of exploring for and producing oil and gas, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore in the Gulf Coast area. We were created on November 17, 1998 when McMoRan Oil & Gas and Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur Inc. combined their operations. As a result, McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC and Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur LLC (Freeport Sulphur), the successors to those companies, became our wholly owned subsidiaries. A principal purpose of the combination was to use cash flow from Freeport Sulphur as a source of funding for the expansion of our oil and gas exploration and development program. The combination of McMoRan Oil & Gas and Freeport Sulphur was treated for accounting purposes as a purchase, with McMoRan Oil & Gas as the acquiring entity. As a result, our financial information for periods prior to the combination reflect only the historical operations of McMoRan Oil & Gas. The operations of Freeport Sulphur are included on and after November 17, 1998 . In August 2000, we announced the closure of our sulphur mining operations at Main Pass and our plans to sell our sulphur transportation and terminaling assets. In March 2002, we entered into agreements from the dismantlement and removal of our sulphur platforms at Main Pass and Caminada. In June 2002, we sold substantially all of our sulphur transportation and terminaling assets.

The two product service lines that historically have helped maritime companies and self insured employers save millions of dollars has been, 1. Medical Nurse Case Management - where we receive notification of the injury claim within the first 24 hours and the nurse coordinates all the medical care advising our clients on the course of the medical portion of the claim. The benefits resulting in an earlier release to full duty or obtaining medical information early in the claim so that the employer or shipowner can be pre-warned if the injured party cannot go back to work or in the case of a passenger outlining and controlling reasonable rehabilitation costs. 2. On the back end of the claim there is Medical Bill Auditing, this is done by our Med-Check division, by nurses who review medical records, who search for CPT codes errors and look to alleviate any fraud or over exaggeration in medical billing. We audit all medical services of any kind in every state. The plaintiff attorneys in the U.S. along with a small portion of medical providers have been working together to escalate medical damages related to maritime accident claims. The Federal Jones Act and The Federal Long Shore Act does not limit liability awards on maritime claims and therefore it has become an arena for fraud and abuse. The maritime industry can defend against these claims with the proper use of medical cost containment services.

Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNP), the youngest and most modern major port of India, was commissioned in 1989 with a land area of 2,500 hectares. The port was initially envisaged to relieve traffic off the Mumbai port and serve as a hub port for the Western region. With highly automated operations and developed infrastructure for bulk and container traffic, JNPT has emerged as the gateway port to modern India and has become the most favoured port to the maritime trade of Western region. The all weather tidal port is located in between the islands of Nhava and Sheva on the West Coast of the country and shares the common harbour channel with Mumbai port and Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal. The vast back up area of the port is ideally suited for future maritime requirements. The water front infrastructure stretched over 54 sq. Kms, JNPT has strong potential to develop additional facilities as per demand. Future plan JNPT has already drawn up developmental projects and accordingly started working. The port has planned to become the first container transhipment hub of the country, attracting fourth or fifth generation mother vessels by deepening the approach channel at an estimated investment of Rs 6.0 billion within the next three years. Jawaharlal Nehru Port authority has earmarked Rs 4.8 billion for development of infrastructure facilities of 'B' and 'C' class chemicals in the tank farm area, additional port crafts, infrastructure facilities for vehicle exporters, warehouses for storage of dry bulk cargo, cold storage facility and container stacking yard. It is also contemplating the idea of developing additional berths for handling of agri-products, ores, vehicles, steel scrap and sponge iron products.

Metairie, LA, United States

(Louisiana Offshore Oil Port) was organized in 1972 as a Delaware corporation and converted to a limited liability company in 1996. Ashland Inc., Marathon Ashland Pipe Line LLC, Murphy Oil Corporation, Shell Oil Company, and Texaco Inc. are LOOP's owners. The port facility is located in the Gulf of Mexico, eighteen miles south of Grand Isle, Louisiana, in 110 feet of water. LOOP is the only port in the U.S. capable of offloading deep draft tankers known as Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCC) and Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC). Along with offloading crude from VLCC’s, LOOP also offloads smaller tankers. The port consists of three single-point mooring buoys used for the offloading of crude tankers and a marine terminal consisting of a two-level pumping platform and a three-level control platform. The onshore oil storage facility, twenty-five miles inland (the “Clovelly facility”), is connected to the port complex by a 48-inch diameter pipeline. It provides interim storage for crude oil before it is delivered via connecting pipelines to refineries on the Gulf Coast and in the Midwest. The oil is stored in eight underground caverns leached out of a naturally occurring salt dome. The caverns are capable of storing approximately 48 million barrels of crude oil (a barrel of oil is equal to 42 U.S. gallons). In 1996, one cavern was dedicated to the MARS stream coming in from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The MARS crude oil system uses the same distribution system used by the foreign barrels. Four pipelines connect the onshore storage facility to refineries in Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast. LOOP also operates the 53-mile, 48-inch LOCAP pipeline that connects LOOP to CAPLINE at St. James, Louisiana. CAPLINE is a 40-inch pipeline that transports crude oil to several Midwest refineries. LOOP is connected to over 50 percent of the U.S. refinery capacity and has offloaded over 6 billion barrels of foreign crude oil since it's inception.
