CONTINUING OPERATIONS
PERFORM WELL
Excluding effects of Floor's Distri bution Group, a discontinued opera tion, net earnings from continuing operations totaled $80.7 million, or $1,02 per share, on revenues of $5.3 billion. This compares with $161 mil lion, or $2.05 per share, on revenues of $6.7 billion in 1982.
(Charts A, B, C, D)
Included in 1983 earnings from continuing operations were net write-downs of $23 million for cer tain unsuccessful oil and gas explo ration activities overseas and $6 million for the retirement of three obsolete offshore drilling rigs.

The anticipated divestiture of the Distribution Group, combined with the group's operating loss, reduced fiscal 1983 net earnings by $53 million or 67 cents per share. As a discontin ued operation, the Distribution Group will not be included in 1984 earnings.
This divestiture, which allows management to concentrate financial resources on engineering and con struction and natural resources, contributed to reduced net earnings for the year of $27.7 million or 35 cents per share. In 1982, net earn ings were $152.8 million or $1.94 per share.
DIVESTITURES
ESSENTIALLY COMPLETE
In addition to the pending sales of the Distribution Group and oil and gas investments in the United King dom, the North Sea, and Egypt, Fluor completed the Coquina Oil Corpora tion divestiture, and sold Goldston trucking and Fluor's interest in Peabody Holding Company.
A total of $490 million will have been realized from these sales with proceeds used to reduce debt.
While management plans to re view the strategic fit of all businesses on a recurring basis, the program to streamline operations initiated after the acquisition of St. Joe is essen tially complete,
DEBT RETIREMENT
NEARS TARGET
Long-term debt was reduced by nearly $300 million in 1983, lowering the company's long-term debt-tocapitalization ratio to 29 percent, compared to 36 percent a year ago. As the company stated when it acquired St. Joe in 1981, this ratio is targeted to reach 25 percent by yearend 1984. Proceeds from the pend ing sale of the Distribution Group and oil and gas properties, plus cash from operations, will be major con tributors toward this goal. The reduc tion in debt will lower ongoing interest expense, improve profit ability, and increase the company's flexibility to take advantage of business opportunities.
(Charts E, F)
In recognition of Fluor's strong balance sheet, the credit rating agencies maintained a high invest ment-grade rating on the company's long-term debt and commercial paper. Following a review in late 1983, Standard & Poor's and Moody's awarded or reaffirmed ratings on Fluor's long-term debt of AA- and A-2, respectively. Standard & Poor's and Moody's reaffirmed ratings of A1 + and PI on Fluor's commercial paper --their highest ratings. Duff and Phelps, which only rates Fluor's long term debt, maintained their rating of 4, which is in the AA category.
CAPITAL INVESTMENT
CONTINUES STRONG
Capital expenditures for the year were just over $300 million. Major projects included $97 million to com plete new engineering facilities, $74 million for mining operations, and $111 million for investment in oil and gas properties.
Over the past three years, the company has invested nearly $1.1 billion to expand or modernize Engi neering and Construction complexes; mines, mills, and smelters; and to acquire interests in oil, gas, and min eral properties. The benefit of these investments should be fully realized as Fluor's businesses improve.

E&C, INTERNATIONAL MINERALS
SHOW GOOD EARNINGS
The company's Engineering and Construction (E&C) and Interna tional Minerals operations were the major contributors to 1983 earnings.
E&C, largest of Fluor's two core businesses, reported operating profits just eight percent under the record high set in 1982. Revenues, however, declined 24 percent, and new orders dropped 57 percent. Be cause of recession-induced weakness in new orders, backlog at year-end stood at $5,6 billion compared with $10.7 billion a year ago.

In one of the most severe down turns in new awards for the industry since the 1930s, Fluor won approxi mately 40 percent of the major con tracts it pursued. Fluor's E&C Group also far exceeded its historical shareof-market average for manhours booked.
This marketing success, under harsh competitive conditions, al lowed Fluor to retain a greater per centage of its manpower in relation to the engineering and construction industry as a whole. Retention of manpower is a management priority that allows Fluor to respond quickly to client needs as business recovers.
E&C INDUSTRY TORIES
GAm MOMENTUM Cyclical in nature, the engineering and construction industry has tended to lag general economic recoveries. Key factors that signal an impending recovery are increases in plant ca pacity utilization, corporate cash flows, and profits. All were trending positive at year-end 1983 and should result in higher capital expenditures by clients in the coming months. (cfMitn a, i)
Senior E&C operating executives have been temporarily assigned mar keting responsibilities in their areas of expertise to enhance the com pany's prospects during the upturn.
Capital expenditures in the indus trial sector are already showing recov ery, and Fluor's Daniel International subsidiary is experiencing increased new business activity. Daniel builds plants for a wide variety of industries, including: pharmaceutical, electron ics, automotive, food, chemical, pulp and paper, biotechnology, metal, nuclear and non-nuclear power, and many others.
Historically, the engineering and construction industry has shown superior growth compared to overall U.S. industry. Current projections for relatively low inflation and rela tively high industrial production in the 1980s indicate a continuation of superior growth for the E&C industry.
(Churl J)
In addition to improving economic conditions, several other factors in dicate strong long-term growth for engineering and construction in energy and non-energy markets. Investment by oil companies in offshore oil and gas leases, averag ing over $5 billion per year since 1979, is a precursor to future E&C activity. Offshore California, work has started on platforms that will lead to pipelines, storage facilities, and processing plants. Similar activ ity is under way in Alaska and Canada.
(Clwtrt K)
Demand for oil and gas production projects on-and offshore, throughout the world, is expected to represent the largest energy-related market for engineering and construction for the rest of the decade. Fluor is operating in every major area where production activity is planned or is under way.
In other energy-related areas, expenditures are planned for the reconfiguration of petroleum refiner ies in the U.S. and some grassroots facilities overseas. Substantial op portunities exist longer term in chem icals, petrochemicals, gas processing, and power, despite current overcapac ity in some of these industries. The Middle East> for example, will con tinue to be an important market for gas processing projects, while cogen eration in the U.S. offers a growing amount of work in the power field. Petrochemical projects are emerging in third world countries that have access to low-cost resources.
The synfuels industry is an important target market for Fluor. The Synthetic Fuels Corporation's announced intention to provide loan guarantees and product subsidies assures that some large synfuels

ojects will be built in the United tJtes. Interest in synfuels continues i nations where the development f alternate energy resources is tgarded as a national security issue. In addition to Floor's traditional non-energy markets, the company has selected transportation and telecommunications for special emphasis. The U.S. Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 has led to a renewal of interest in mass transit rail systems and highway renovation. The growing telecommunications industry also offers opportunities to Fluor for its project management, systems integration, and overall engineering talents. Government work in nuclear fuel enrichment, reprocessing, and waste disposal is of growing importance to Fluor, as well.
(Charts L, M)
NATURAL RESOURCES
OUTLOOK IMPROVES
The International Minerals segment of Floor's Natural Resources oper ations reported a 12 percent increase in operating profit over the previous year, due primarily to higher gold prices and strong production levels.
Domestic Metals activities experi enced an operating loss as a result of lead metal prices that fell to their lowest level since the 1930s. At yearend, however, lead prices were 35 percent above their low for the year. St. Joe's lead metal sales were seven percent above 1982, and the company improved its market share.
Average price for zinc was un changed in 1983, although by yearend the trend was up. Sales increased 34 percent compared to the previous year. As industrial
activity gains momentum, zinc consumption and prices should continue to strengthen, while lead prices are expected to move up gradually.
(Charts N, Oj
St. Joe maintained its long-stand ing program to improve return on investment and to minimize the cyclicality of the minerals business. This program entails considerable exploration, which amounted to $20 million in 1983. The strategy is to balance the already strong position in base metals with greater activity in precious metals and to develop other new, high-margin mineral product lines. The company will also continue to diversify geographically.
Coal operations reported a loss for the year, although production was up slightly. The worldwide recession and a strong dollar reduced demand for U.S. coal. However, gains in in dustrial activity should lead to higher demand in 1984. This coupled with improved productivity in Fluor's coal mines should lead to gradual improvement in coal operations.
(Chart P)
Operatirig profits from Fluor's oil and gas investments were down due primarily to lower oil and gas prices and a write-down for unsuccessful exploration efforts overseas. The planned sale of certain foreign oil and gas properties for approximately $66 million is consistent with the company's strategy to emphasize domestic oil and gas investments.
Fluor Drilling Services also reported a decrease in earnings. Principal rea son was low utilization rates stem ming from an oversupply of offshore drilling rigs, which caused a severe cut in day-rates, plus a write-off for the retirement of three obsolete rigs. The drilling market bottomed out in the second half of '83, and improved utilization rates are expected in 1984.

MANAGEMENTAND
DIRECTOR CHANGES
During the past four years, Fluor has been engaged in a comprehensive management succession program to prepare for the retirement of senior executives. Significant management changes in 1983 were Dean K. Allen to President of Fluor Engineers, Inc. and Hugh K. Coble to Group Vice President - Marketing for the E&C Group. Both executives were elected to the Fluor Board in January 1984.
In Natural Resources, Roy K. Wheelock was named President and Chief Operating Officer of St. Joe Minerals Corporation.
William I. McKay and Arthur C, Sheffield, Group Vice Presidents and members of the Board, were named to the E&C Group's Executive Council.
Charles W. Cox, Vice Chairman of Floor 's Daniel International Corpo ration, and Richard B. Humbert, Senior Vice President-Law and Tax and Secretary, retired from the Board. John K. Pike, Vice President and Chairman of Fluor Distribution Companies, Inc , resigned to pursue other interests

INDICATORS TURN
POSITIVE FOR 1984
In 1983, Fluor improved its competi tive position, streamlined operations, strengthened its balance sheet, and prepared its organization for the business upturn.
We extend our gratitude to Fluor employees and shareholders for their support.
As the fiscal year came to a close, economic indicators most relevant to the industries we serve were turn ing positive. The result should be improved business conditions for Fluor in 1984.

ngineering and
CONSTRUCTION
EOperating profit from the Engineering and Construction Group reached record levels at mid-year and then began to weaken due to a decline in new orders during the industry-wide recession. Revenues and operating profit amounted to $4.1 billion and $210.7 million, respectively, in 1983 compared to $5.4 billion and $228.6 million in fiscal 1982. New orders and backlog also declined, from $2.9 billion and $10.7 billion, respectively, in 1982 to $1.2 billion and $5.6 billion in 1983.
(Chorls Q, R|
Approximately $550 million in new orders booked for 1983 are phased-release awards with consid erable potential value. Several of the contracts--which involve offshore oil and gas production, process plants, mining, and non-power nuclear work--are expected to progress to full-scale in 1984.
(Chart S)
Faced with soft markets and increased competition, the Engi neering and Construction Group intensified its marketing efforts worldwide and was successful in in creasing its share of reduced mar kets. Of 17 major projects targeted
by Fluor Engineers, Inc. during the
year, the company received seven,
or 41 percent of the total.
The E&C Group--comprised of
Fluor Engineers, Flupr Constructors,
and Daniel International Corpora
tion--reduced operating Costs in
1983 and increased productivity.
Manpower levels were brought
down by 22 percent to cope with
the decreased workload.
In terms of major projects com
pleted, fiscal 1983 was a banner year.
More than a dozen large-scale jobs
were completed around the world,
including refinery modernization
programs in the United States,
Venezuela, Canada, Europe, and
South Africa.
;
Particularly significant were four
projects performed jointly by Fluor
Engineers and Daniel. Joint efforts
covered such diverse industries as
petroleum refining, gas processing,
chemicals, and synthetic fuels. Typi
cally, Fluor performed engineering
and design, and Daniel was respon
sible for construction.
At Borger, Texas, the two com
panies combined on a $300 million
refinery modernization program
to allow for processing of a \yide
range of crude oils. In Evanston,
Wyoming, Fluor and Daniel teamed
efforts on a $230 million gas process
ing plant. At Pensacola, Florida, the
two companies built the largest
chemical plant of its kind. And in
western Colorado, Fluor and Daniel
completed major first-phase facilities
for a $600 million shale-oil project.
The acquisition of Daniel in 1977
added an open-shop construction
capability to match Fluor's traditional
union-shop mode.
OIL & GAS PRODUCTION
Energy companies continue to allocate a high percentage of their capital budgets to oil and gas produc tion. Fluor is tracking 30 such projects worth almost $40 billion. The majority are in the North Sea, offshore Califor nia, the Arctic, and off the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
At Point Arguello, California, Fluor is designing and engineering a major offshore platform complex. Oil and gas will be transported from a production platform via subsea pipelines to onshore processing and distribution facilities. Project com pletion is set for 1985.
In Canada, Fluor is part of a joint venture for the country's first major offshore project, a multibillion-dollar program to produce and process gas from the Venture Field off Nova Scotia. Fluor is providing project management services.
In the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, Fluor is serving as projectservices contractor for the world's largest gas production network and an onshore gas treatment plant and terminal. Jackets for two riser plat forms were installed during the year as well as 352 miles of offshore pipe line. Project completion is scheduled for early 1986.
Fluor is providing detailed design and procurement assistance for de velopment work in the Highlander Oil Field in the United Kingdom sec tor of the North Sea. The work in volves a subsea template, connecting pipelines and controls, and modifi cations to the platform topsides.

Early in the year, Fluor was selected to assist in development of the Ras Fanar Gas Field in the Gulf of Suez, Egypt. Fluor is providing design and procurement assistance for the $100 million project, which will involve two offshore platforms, subsea pipelines, onshore power plants, and crude oil processing and export facilities.
In the Gulf of Mexico, Fluor served as construction manager for an oil-recovery program offshore Venice, Louisiana. The project in volved modifications to six oil-andgas production platforms in approximately 200 feet of water.
Three other developments in 1983 relate to the potential in offshore production markets. In May, Fluor announced the formation of a joint venture with C.G. Doris of Paris. The company, Fluor-Doris, Inc., based in Houston, provides engi neering, design, and construction services for offshore areas of North and South America. Emphasis will be placed on Doris' experience with deepwater production platforms made of concrete, steel, or compos ite for ice-laden waters.
Earlier in the year, Fluor acquired a Dutch engineering company, Marcon, that specializes in design and engineering of offshore structures and semi-submersibles.
Fluor Engineers signed a long term agreement with Bethlehem Steel Corporation to combine talents in design and construction of tension-imoored platforms for deep water exploration and production.
REFINING
Despite excess petroleum refining capacity, opportunities exist for modernization work. Modifications will be required to process heavier crudes and to upgrade older units. Jointly owned processing facilities are also under study by some U.S. energy firms.
In addition, Fluor is tracking grassroots refinery projects and ex pects continued revamping activity in the United States and abroad.
PETROCHEMICALS
In the chemical-petrochemical sector, which also faces excess capacity, clients have reported recoveries in third- and fourth-quarter profits. This should lead to additional plant investment. Meanwhile, a number of new-technology opportunities exist in polymers. In Saudi Arabia, Fluor is completing two petro chemical projects in A1 Jubail,
SYNFUELS
While development of synthetic fuels in the United States lost momentum as oil prices declined, encouraging developments have occurred. Late in 1983, the U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC) granted a favorable price guarantee to one developer to convert shale rock into oil in Colorado. The SFC is looking at other programs and is committed to production of new domestic fuels to replace foreign imports. The government has earmarked $10 billion for this effort in 1984.
Fluor recently completed engi neering and construction on firstphase facilities for an oil-shale project at Parachute Creek, Colorado.
There is continued interest in synfuels overseas as well, primarily in South Africa, Australia, and South America.

iVUMIMG
Fluor was awarded three significant mining projects during the year. Work commenced on the initial phase of an engineering, design, procurement, and construction man agement contract to develop coal reserves in the Book Cliffs Field in Utah.
In China, Fluor was awarded a contract by the China National Coal Development Corporation for basic engineering of a major multi-seam lignite mine and preparation of a master development plan.
During 1983, Fluor formally estab lished Fluor-Chile, S.A. in Santiago to perform design, engineering, pro curement, and construction for min ing and metallurgical industries in South America. Late in the year, the unit was awarded preliminary engi neering on a mining project outside Santiago.
AMC3 COMMCRCIAL.
Fluor's activity in general industrial and commercial projects included re cent awards for biotechnology facili ties in California, corn milling plants in Minnesota and South Africa, and pharmaceutical projects in North Carolina and West Germany.
Accelerated by a recovery in car sales, the automotive industry has planned major capital programs for assembly, components, and parts. Daniel, for instance, completed a highly automated assembly plant in Tennessee for a Japanese manufacturer.

Pulp and paper represents a strong market for revamp and co generation work. Ongoing projects include a pulp plant in Alabama, a newspaper mill in Georgia, a bleached pulp and paper mill in South Carolina, and a pulp and paper renovation in the same state.
In other industrial and commercial areas, Daniel is working on a can manufacturing plant in West Ger many, an aluminum rolling mill in Kentucky, and infrastructure for Tanajib, an industrial complex in eastern Saudi Arabia.
POVV6R
Fluor was awarded total responsibil ity for a 300-megawatt cogeneration plant near Bakersfield, California. The plant, one of the world's largest, will produce electricity for utility power and steam for oil recovery.
Fluor also obtained engineering and construction responsibility for the world's largest photovoltaic power plant, a six-megawatt unit in central California that converts sun light into electricity. Photovoltaic cells promise to become a practical method of energy production, espe cially in remote areas where power grids are not available.
Large power reserves--combined with slower economic growth and conservation--have dampened prospects for new plant construction in the next several years. Available work will consist largely of modifi cations, retrofits, and maintenance and upgrading of older plants to improve efficiency.
MAStirLMANC.E
'
Historically a strong market for
Daniel in the U.S. and Puerto Rico,
plant maintenance has been extended
through Fluor Mechanical Services
and Fluor Plant Services. The com
pany was awarded a variety of sig
nificant maintenance contracts in the
Mideast, South Africa, Canada, and
Europe.
i\LW iVLSUICO S `
As part of its long-term strategy, Fluor has established a foothold in non-traditional markets that promise growth. A number of contracts reflect this emphasis.
Through its Advanced Technology Division, Fluor was awarded 15 con tracts for studies and development work in a broad range of emerging industries. These include: synfuels, biotechnology, fuel cells, landfill gas processing, methanol, coke utiliza tion, and nuclear fuel processing and disposal.
Among major government proj ects awarded were three by the U.S. Department of Energy and one by the Army Corps of Engineers. In March, Fluor was chosen to provide engineering services for conceptual design of a nuclear waste repository. It will be designed to isolate com mercially generated spent fuel and high-level waste. Initial design work could lead to additional contract increments in a 12- to 15-year program.
The Department of Energy selected Fluor to provide advanced conceptual design for a nuclear processing facility near Richland, Washington. Full contract release is expected in early 1984.
The company also won an archi tect/engineering services contract for the Department of Energy at its Idaho Falls National Laboratory. Fluor has been retained to provide engineering services for a variety of nuclear and non-nuclear programs.
For the Corps of Engineers, Fluor designed a wash-down system for the space shuttle launch complex at California's Vandenberg Air Force Base. The contract calls for facilities to remove corrosive exhaust wastes that collect on the Iaunchpad during liftoff.
Work continued for the U.S. gov ernment at its uranium enrichment plant in Portsmouth, Ohio. Enriched uranium is used to generate electric ity in nuclear power plants. Fluor's design work on the massive project has been under way since 1978.
To pursue two other market areas, Fluor has organized a Transportation and Infrastructure Division. The division focuses on major domestic and international projects in mass transit, airports, public ports, high ways and bridges, water resources, defense, and infrastructure.
The new division's first contract came early in fiscal 1983 when Fluor was named general engineering con sultant for the $3 billion Los Angeles to San Diego high-speed rail project. The 131-mile, privately funded sys tem will be the first high-speed rail road in the Americas.
In addition, the division has formed joint-venture associations for projects with a potential value in excess of $13.5 billion.
Fluor also is involved, through Daniel, in a $134 million peoplemover in downtown Miami. The system features a train of electrically powered vehicles that will transport travelers along a two-mile elevated rail loop in the heart of the city. Daniel is providing construction management for the project.

To service still another market, Fluor Telecommunications Services was created. The group offers a full range of services based on its tele communications experience from major process-plant projects. Tele communications technology, for ex ample, was involved in such major programs as the Alyeska pipeline terminal and pump stations, the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, the ARAMCO Central Dispatch commu nications system that covers 50,000 square miles in Saudi Arabia, and the Petroleum Authority of Thailand Gas Pipeline project.
atural resources
The Natural Resources
Nsection includes St. Joe's Domestic and Interna tional Minerals, 50 per cent ownership of Massey Coal Company; the Oil and Gas Group; and Fluor Drilling Services.
.i
St. Joe's operations recorded rev enues of $866.5 million and operat ing profit of $25.8 million in fiscal 1983, down from $886.9 million in revenues and $48.8 million in oper ating profit for the prior year. The decline is due to depressed commod ity markets worldwide, especially in lead and coal. This was partially offset, however, by favorable gold and silver prices that on average were higher than the previous year.
St. Joe continued to reduce operat ing expenses and improve produc tivity during the year. Additionally, manpower levels were reduced by seven percent. St. Joe successfully
maintained, and in some cases in creased, market share while keeping inventories low. Lead production costs were reduced by nearly 10 percent.
During the year, St. Joe completed relocation of its corporate office from New York City to Clayton, Missouri. The move saves approximately $10 million annually in administrative and overhead cost|. Offices of St, Joe International remain in New York.
With an improving economy, St. Joe anticipates gradual strengthen ing of its base-metals markets. Lead and zinc prices finished the year on an upward trend. Producer price of lead in 1983 Was the worst since the Great Depression, bill it moved up from a mid-year low of 20 cents to 27 cents per pound by October. The price of zinc declined from 42 cents at the start of the year to 38 cents per pound in March, then rebounded to 49 cents by fiscal year-end. Contin ued recovery in automobile and housing markets should contribute to further advances.

nia. Gold recovery is in central Cali
fornia, while silver is a by-product of
St. Joe's lead production.
(Charts U, V)
Despite a severe recession in the
metals industry during 1983, St. Joe
maintained a relatively high level of
lead production and sales. St, Joe
sold 221,000 tons of refined lead, a
slight increase over 1982. The com pany accounted for approximately 41 percent of U.S. lead ore mined in fiscal 1983, and approximately 20 percent of total domestic lead-metal production.
(Chart W)
Development of the new Bixby lead mine in Missouri continued during the year, and it is expected to commence production early in 1984. The nearby Viburnum mill was expanded and modernized to accom modate the increased production, 4.000 tons per day.
St. Joe places emphasis on by product recovery. During the year, the company continued develop ment work on a new process to sep arate cobalt from lead and copper concentrates.
Efforts continued as well to capital ize on higher-margin, value-added products. Marketability of St. Joe's iron ore pellets, used in steel produc tion, was enhanced by chemical addi tions to the pellets. This modification gives St. Joe a product that is attrac tive to a broader customer base.
Sales of iron pellets at St. Joe's Pea Ridge Mine in 1983 amounted to 672.000 gross tons, down from 786.000 gross tons in 1982. In 1984, production of iron pellets is expected to rebound to more than one million gross tons as a result of improved business conditions in the steel industry.

St. Joe's domestic zinc mines accounted for 28 percent of U.S. production in fiscal 1983. Installation of a new furnace at the company's Monaca smelter increased capacity from 85,000 to 100,000 tons per year. More than 100,000 tons of zinc metal equivalent were sold by St. Joe's domestic operations in 1983, up 34 percent.
(Chart X|
The Domestic Metals Group made process improvements at Monaca that resulted in an annual savings of more than a half-million dollars. This partially offset increased raw mate rial costs.
The group has two-thirds interest in a 2,000-acre gold mining venture along the Yuba River in California. Domestic gold production amounted to approximately 11,000 troy ounces in 1983. Production is expected to increase to an annual rate of 15,000 troy ounces in 1984.
On the exploration front, Domes tic Metals is evaluating several baseand precious-metals prospects, in cluding lead and zinc in the Midwest and East and gold in California. In early 1983, the company filed an ap plication to mine on 2,200 acres of leased property along the San Juan Ridge in Nevada County, California. A U.S, Geological Survey has esti mated that the property contains one of the largest remaining placer gold concentrations in the United States.
INTERNATIONAL MINERALS Foreign operations are conducted through St. Joe International Cor poration, which mines gold, silver, and copper in Chile, and lead, zinc, silver, and copper in Argentina, Peru, and Australia. Increased earnings were recorded by this unit in 1983 primarily as a result of higher predous-metals prices.
Chilean operations are centered around the El Indio gold mine, of which the company owns 82 percent. The particularly profitable DSO, or Direct Shipping Ore, which requires no on-site processing, has been in production since 1979. A mill and roaster were inaugurated at the mine site in December 1981 to pro cess lower grades of ore. Since that time capacity has been increased from 1,400 tons to 1,550 tons of ore per day. Additional modifications in 1984 will increase capacity to 1,700 tons per day.
(Chart YJ
During 1983, Ellndio sold 362,000 troy ounces of gold and 926,000 troy ounces of silver, compared to 368.000 troy ounces of gold and 536.000 troy ounces of silver in 1982.
El Indio's milling ore reserves are estimated at 5 million tons that aver age .3 troy ounces of gold per ton. DSO contains about 6.8 troy ounces of gold per ton, and proven and probable reserves are estimated at about 66,000 tons.
Properties around El Indio are undergoing extensive exploration. Gold discoveries are sought in four areas along a 160-kilometer belt in the Andes north and south of El Indio. The most promising of these is Tambo, where St. Joe holds 82 percent ownership.
In Argentina, St, Joe's Aguilar mine is operating at a rate of 668,000 tons of ore annually. Proven and probable reserves total 6.2 million tons that consist of 5.8 percent lead, 6.9 percent zinc, and 3.5 troy ounces of silver per ton. A new tunnel com pleted at the mine will allow more efficient and economical movement of ore to the mill and will give access to lower-level reserves.

In 1983, Aguilar produced con centrates containing approximately 32,000 tons of lead, 37,000 tons of zinc, and 1.6 million troy ounces of silver. To maintain sales, part of the concentrates normally sold to smelt ers and refiners in Argentina have been exported for the past three years.
St. Joe holds 50 percent ownership in Sulfacid, the principal active zinc refinery in Argentina. Zinc capacity at Sulfacid has been increased from 25,800 to 31,700 tons annually in the past two years.
Active exploration programs are being conducted in Argentina where two precious-metals prospects con tiguous to St, Joe's Chilean proper ties are being evaluated.
Financial results from the com pany's one-third ownership of the Woodlawn venture, primarily a zinc, lead, and copper mine in New South Wales, Australia, were disappointing because of technical problems and low metal prices. Major improve ments made during the year, how ever, permit more efficient recovery. This, plus a stronger zinc market, is expected to lead to a turnaround in 1984.
St. Joe's principal operation in Peru is the Santander zinc mine in the Andes. About 35,000 tons of zinc concentrate were produced in 1983. During the year, St. Joe acquired a modern mine, known as Madrigal, in Southern Peru. Madrigal's esti mated concentrate production per year is 1,400 tons of copper, 7,000 tons of lead, 16,000 tons of zinc, and 430,000 troy ounces of silver.
In Brazil, the Mocambo tin project is in development. High-grade re serves have been proven. This is an alluvial deposit requiring a relatively low capital investment. Tests to determine plant design were com pleted in 1983.
St. Joe has ascertained diamond grades at Araguaia. An investment partner is under consideration for exploration dredging.
St. Joe's exploration strategy is to search for selected minerals in politi cally stable countries to locate highgrade and low-cost orebodies. In recent years, a major effort has been directed toward precious metals, particularly gold. Secondary empha sis has been placed on base metals such as lead and zinc to enhance on going operations. A third effort has been on metals critical to the United States but not available domestically in significant amounts. Exploration programs are under way in North and Sduth America and Europe.
COAL
. ;. ;
St. Joe coal operations are managed
through Massey Coal Company a
50/50 joint venture with Scallop Coal
Corporation, a member of the Royal/
Dutch Shell Group of companies.
Massey's coal resources consist of
approximately one billion tons of
recoverable lovv-sulfur reserves
primarily in the Appalachian fields
close to transportation lines.
Over the last two years, Massey
has suffered from an industry-wide
cost-price squeeze; Since federal
legislation deregulated rail freight
pricing in 1980, transport rates have
risen some 58 percent. Coal prices
declined an almost equal amount
owing to the recession and a strong
dollar, which made American coal
less competitive on world markets.

Despite these pressures, Massey managed to maintain its volume dur ing the period through increased sales to domestic electric utilities. Total sales of produced coal in 1983 amounted to more than 18 million tons, and coal purchased for resale totaled three million tons, about equal to levels in each of the last two years.

OJL a GAS
Fluor Oil and Gas Corporation and St. Joe Petroleum Corporation were combined during the year to form a new Oil and Gas Group. This group recorded $15.7 million in operating profit on revenues of $135.8 million in 1983, compared to $69.7 million and $225.8 million, respectively, in 1982. Included in 1983 results were write-downs of development costs in certain foreign countries where the company has discontinued its explo ration efforts.
During the year, Fluor completed the sale of Coquina properties for $209 million that were acquired in 1981 as part of the St. Joe merger. Fluor retained six tracts in the Santa Maria Basin offshore California and has begun exploration. Industry sources estimate 500 million to one billion barrels of recoverable oil in this basin.
Foreign production continued at planned levels. In Greece, produc tion in the Prinos Field (14 percent ownership) averaged 25,000 barrels per day during 1983. In Indonesia, where a 10 percent interest is held, production averaged 33,000 barrels per day. Buchan Field in the North
Sea, where Fluor holds 13 percent interest, averaged 30,000 barrels per day. Agreement to sell this interest was reached shortly after the close of the fiscal year.
In Argentina, fluor Oil and Gas and its partner successfully renegoti ated with the government a contract that increased the price received for crude oil from the Centenario Field. Since then/ production has more than doubled to about 3,500 barrels per day.
Domestically, Fluor continued to participate with Shell Oil and others in offshore Gulf of Mexico leasing ac tivities. The company acquired inter ests ranging from 8 to 11 percent in 76 offshore blocks.
A number of exploratory successes were realized during the year and will be developed in 1984. Produc tion should start by year-end.
DRILLING Fluor Drilling Services (FDS) pro vides contract drilling services to the offshore petroleum industry. This unit recorded decreased earnings in 1983 as the industry absorbed the combined effects of reduced drilling and an oversupply of rigs. Following six years of unprecedented earnings, FDS recorded operating profit of $4.1 million in 1983, compared to $60.4 million in 1982.
Also affecting results in 1983 was a write-off of $6 million after taxes for three obsolete rigs that were re moved from service. Retirement of these 20-year-old rigs, which were no longer competitive, reduces the group's operating costs.
FDS' fleet consists of 11 offshore drilling rigs, seven of which operate domestically in the Gulf of Mexico and four in foreign waters. Exclud ing the three obsolete rigs, FDS' uti lization rate in 1983 was 71 percent, about equal to worldwide averages.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated net earnings in 1983 were $28 million compared to $153 million in 1982 and $159 million in 1981. Earnings per share were $.35/ $1.94 and $2.82, respectively. These amounts reflect the continuing im pact of the worldwide slowdown in the engineering and natural resource related industries and the impact of strategic divestitures in 1983. During the fourth quarter of 1983, the company adopted a plan to dis pose of the Distribution Group. The results of operations of this Group have been reflected as discontinued operations in the earnings statements for all periods presented. Earnings for the Distribution Group declined from $15 million in 1981 to losses of $8 million and $27 million in 1982 and 1983, respectively. This was caused principally by severely de pressed prices due to an oversupply of tubular goods as well as the general effects of reduced economic activity on energy, industrial and agricultural markets. Consolidated net earnings for 1983 reflects a reserve of $26 million for expected losses from disposal of the Group. Revenues from continuing oper ations declined 21 percent in 1983 compared to 1982 after an increase of 26 percent over 1981. Both earn ings and earnings per share from continuing operations declined by 50 percent in 1983 compared to 1982. Revenues and earnings in 1983 were adversely affected by the worldwide recession. The increase in 1982 revenues reflects the contri bution of St. Joe Minerals Corpora tion acquired in August 1981 and a record year for the Engineering and Construction Group. Earnings in
1982 had increased 12 percent over 1981, while earnings per share declined for the period because of the dilutive impact of the 30 million additional shares issued in August 1981 for the acquisition of St. Joe as well as increased interest expense on higher levels of debt assumed and issued in the acquisition. St. Joe's operations were included on a 45 percent equity basis for the third quarter of 1981 and consolidated thereafter.
Included in 1983 earnings from continuing operations before income taxes are several significant items including a $33 million write-down of certain foreign oil and gas proper ties, foreign exchange gains of $24 million, a $10 million gain on settle ment of a terminated sales contract and an $11 million write-off of three obsolete offshore contract drilling rigs. Equity in earnings and a gain on the sale of the company's 10 percent interest in Peabody Holding Company totalling $18 million was also included.
Total interest expense for 1983, in cluding interest capitalized, declined from $178 million in 1982 to $130 mil lion in 1983 reflecting a net decrease in outstanding debt and lower inter est rates. Decreased interest rates also contributed to lower interest income and capitalized interest. Reduced qualifying capital expenditures also affected capitalized interest, which decreased $15 million in 1983 compared to 1982.
Corporate administrative and general expenses were reduced 12 percent in 1983 compared to a 27 percent increase in 1982 over 1981. The decrease in 1983 is due primarily to a reduction in manpower, lower consulting fees and reduced travel related expenses.
The company's effective income tax rate increased ffbm 47 percent in 1982 to 53 percent in 1983 primarily due to the increase in non-deductible foreign oil and gas property write
downs offset in part by increased foreign earnings on which residual U.S. taxes are not provided.
Due to the loss from discontinued operations and reduced earnings from continuing operations, return on shareholders' equity was only 1.6 percent in 1983 compared to 8.8 percent in 1982.
ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION Over the last three years, low oil and gas demand and resultant prices, high interest rates and a worldwide recession have caused a major down turn in engineering and construction industry contract awards. New awards declined from $2.9 billion in 1982 to $1.2 billion in 1983 while backlog decreased from $10.7 billion to $5.6 billion. This trend is reflected in the decline in revenues in 1983 of 24 percent from 1982 after an in crease of 12 percent from 1981, while 1983 operating profit declined only 8 percent from 1982. These results of operations generally reflect a change in the mix of contracts and their stages of completion.
ST. JOE MINERALS CORPORATION In comparing St. Joe's first two full years as a Fluor subsidiary, revenues from coal and metals operations remained level while operating profit declined 47 percent as a result of se verely depressed commodity prices. Metals operations accounted for $429 million in revenues and $33 million in operating profit in 1983 compared to revenues and operating profit in 1982 of $440 million and $46 million,

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
continued
respectively. Tighter control of costs did not fully offset the continued de pressed market prices for lead, zinc and iron pellets. Higher gold prices, increased sales volumes and foreign exchange gains, resulting primarily from retirement of debt at preferen tial exchange rates, partially offset the effect of lower prices on other commodities. Revenues and operat ing losses from coal operations in 1983 were $438 million and $7 mil lion, respectively, compared to $447 million in revenues and an operating profit of $3 million in 1982. Slightly higher sales volumes in 1983 did not offset the continued weakness in coal prices.
Expenditures for exploration activities totalled $20 million in 1983 compared to St. Joe's record level of $32 million in 1982.
OIL AND GAS The decline in revenues for the Oil and Gas Group from $226 million in 1982 to $136 million in 1983 and the decline in operating profit for this period from $70 million to $16 mil lion reflect lower sales volumes and prices of both oil and gas. The decline in revenues in 1983 also reflects the result of the sale of the producing oil and gas properties of Coquina Oil Corporation in Novem ber 1982 and the remaining Coquina properties later in 1983. Operating profit in 1983 reflects a $33 million write-down of certain foreign oil and gas properties.
Increases in revenues and operat ing profit of 127 percent and 103 per cent, respectively, in 1982 over 1981 reflects inclusion of St. Joe Petroleum
and Coquina for a full year in 1982 compared to only three months in 1981. The Prinos Oil Field offshore Greece, in which the company owns a 14 percent interest, became oper ational in January 1982 and reached its planned production of 25,000 barrels per day by mid-year.
The company has announced that several foreign oil and gas properties of St. Joe Petroleum will be sold early in 1984 for approximately $66 million.
DRILLING SERVICES Revenues from contract drilling serv ices decreased to $86 million in 1983 from $128 million and $109 million in 1982 and 1981, respectively. Operat ing profit was $4 million, $60 million and $40 million in 1983, 1982 and 1981, respectively.
The decrease in operating profit reflects an $11 million write-off of three obsolete drilling rigs, severely depressed day rates and lower rig utilization. The decline in utilization rates to 71 percent in 1983, excluding the three obsolete rigs, from 89 per cent in 1982 and 96 percent in 1981, resulted from an oversupply of off shore rigs and a worldwide reduction in drilling activity.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY Working capital increased $3 million during 1983 while the current ratio increased to 1.1 from 1.0 at October 31, 1982. Included in current assets at October 31,1983 is the net realizable value of the assetsof the Distribution Group, which will be disposed of early in 1984.
Major sources of working capital include $332 million from opera tions, $221 million from various asset dispositions, proceeds from issuance of long-term debt of $82 million and collection of notes receivable of $48 million. Working capital was used
to reduce long-term debt by $375 million, for capital expenditures of $302 million and to pay cash divi dends of $63 million.
The most significant reductions in long-term debt include repayments of debt secured by the El Indio min ing complex in Chile and amounts outstanding under the company's commercial paper program.
The net reduction of $293 million in long-term debt during 1983 resulted in a year-end long-term debt to total capitalization ratio of 29.2 percent compared to 36.2 percent at October 31,1982 and 39.6 percent at October 31,1981 following the acquisition of St. Joe.
Capital expenditures totalled $302 million in 1983 compared to $526 million in 1982, including $31 million and $46 million in interest capital ized in 1983 and 1982, respectively. Projects completed during 1983 include two coal export facilities, in Newport News and Charleston, and office facilities in Greenville, South Carolina. Other projects include development of the Bixby lead mining operation, expansion of the Viburnum mill to handle ore from the Bixby mining complex, develop ment of mining projects in Brazil and office facilities in Houston, Tex as. Included in capital expenditures of the Oil and Gas Group are pur chases of partial interests in 76 offshore blocks offered in three Gulf Coast offshore lease sales. Fiscal 1983 capital expenditures were funded through internal cash resources, receipt of $25 million from notes receivable and specific project financings.

change on the company's financial position and results of
operations would not have been material in 1983, the
future effects are not determinable.

LEASE OBLIGATIONS
Total rental expense amounted to $66,518,000 in 1983, $70,171,000 in 1982 and $50,603,000 in 1981. The company's lease obligations relate primarily to office and warehouse space, land underlying engineering facilities, data process ing equipment, equipment used in connection with long term construction contracts and other personal property. Also included in lease obligations are amounts due under a 50 year lease entered into in 1983 for land underlying the company's new engineering facility in Houston, Texas. At October 31, 1983, noncancellable lease commitments for the Distribution Group amounted to $12,664,000.

$91,100 53.0 $140,447 46.6 $121,105 45.7

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Reserves unaudited
The following standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes therein are presented in compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69.
The information is computed by applying current prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to esti mated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of October 31,1983, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, and assuming continu ation of existing economic conditions. Income taxes are
based on year-end statutory rates adjusted for permanent differences. Amounts are discounted by ten percent per annum.
It is management's view that the standardized measure data does not present an appropriate measure of the results of the company's oil and gas producing activities. As such, the following factors should be considered in interpreting the results:
The estimated discounted future net cash flows will not be realized in cash until, if and when, production and sales occur. Thus, they do not currently provide addi tional funds for use in the company's business.

Reported results can fluctuate significantly since actual prices and costs can change erratically. For example, increases due to sharply rising prices are included entirely in the year in which they occur. Furthermore, estimates of reserves are inherently imprecise, as are projections of future production.
While the disclosures required by Statement No. 69 attempt to show the results of exploration and develop ment activities as they occur, exploration programs require many years to evaluate. Costs incurred in one year may lead to significant discoveries in the future. Therefore, a single year is not necessarily indicative of the long-term results of exploration and development activities.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON CHANGING PRICES unaudited
The company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which include the concept of historical cost. Under this concept, inventories and property, plant and equipment generally are recorded and reported at the amounts originally paid and do not reflect subsequent changes in (1) the general purchasing power of the dollar, (2) the current cost of replacing the asset, or (3) the amount for which the asset could be sold--its market value.
In conformity with the Statement of Financial Account ing Standards No. 33, the company is presenting selected supplemental information adjusted for both general infla tion (constant dollar) and for changes in specific prices (current cost).
The company is affected by inflation but certain factors serve to mitigate its impact. The company's position is protected within its engineering and construction and contract drilling operations due to its ability to recover cost increases as a result of price escalation provisions in its contracts. Most of the company's natural resource products are internationally traded commodities and

The supplementary information on a constant dollar basis is expressed in average constant dollars for the year and reflects changes that have occurred in the purchasing power of the dollar as measured by the Consumer Price Index for AH Urban Consumers. Current cost information reflects assets and expenses associated with the use or sale of assets at their current cost at the balance sheet date or at the date of use or sale. Information on a current cost basis was determined for each class of goods being meas ured using a combination of externally generated indices and direct pricing.
The statement of earnings adjusted for changing prices compares the results of operations as reported in the fi nancial statements with the results restated on a constant
dollar basis and on a current cost basis. Only cost of sales and depletion, depreciation and amortization have been adjusted. Sales and all other operating expenses are con sidered to reflect the average price levels for the year and, accordingly, have not been adjusted. The provisions for income taxes remain unchanged because present tax laws do not allow deductions related to inflation adjustments.
The gain from decline in the purchasing power of net amounts owed measures the gain from holding monetary liabilities in excess of monetary assets. Since a gain in pur chasing power does not represent the receipt of cash, it should not be considered as providing funds for reinvest ment or dividend distribution.

SALE OF COQUINA
SALE OF FOREIGN OIL AND OAS PROPERTIES
In November 1982, the company completed the sale of certain domestic oil and gas producing properties to Petro-Lewis Corporation and others for $167.9 million in cash. The properties were owned by Coquina Oil Corpo ration and Coquina Petroleum Inc., both subsidiaries of St joe. The sale included proved reserves of approxi mately 14.7 million equivalent barrels of oil. The proper ties were classified as current assets held for sale at October 31, 1982. Included in the current portion of long term debt at October 31, 1982, was $161.5 million of com mercial paper which was retired with the proceeds from the sale. The remaining oil and gas properties owned by Coquina Oil Corporation and Coquina Petroleum Inc. were sold later in 1983.
In December 1983, the company announced the sale of several foreign oil and gas properties to Charterhouse Petroleum of the United Kingdom, for approximately $66 million, subject to the approval of the shareholders of Charterhouse Petroleum and the government of the United Kingdom. Properties to be sold include the company's interests in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and part of its Egyptian properties. The financial statements and footnotes do not reflect the pending sale of these properties.

CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS
The company is contingently liable for commitments and performance guarantees arising in the ordinary course of business. Claims arising from engineering and construc tion contracts have been made against the company by clients, and the company has made certain claims against clients for costs incurred in excess of contract coverage. In the opinion of management, finalization of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
At October 31,1983, approximately $739 million of net assets of subsidiaries have restrictions which affect the ability to transfer them to the parent company in the form of loans, advances, or dividends. Substantially all of these restricted net assets relate to the requirement of the Massey Coal Company joint venture agreement to obtain approval of both parties prior to the transfer of joint venture assets.
