"This will not be a quick process," Cooney said. "It will be a process of slowly going around the area and then making a close, piece-by-piece
Mobil spokesman Tom Coney said the company's survey crew, consisting of two research vessels and two one-man mini-submarines, would try to discover why the rig capsized during a storm less severe than others it had weathered.
One of the mobil research ships, the Polaris V, was to pinpoint the exact location of the wreckage. The other ship the Balder Cabot, carried two camera-equipped Mantis mini-subs. The subs will send video pictures to the research vessels, where the information will be analyzed.
The calm seals also enabled Mobil to begin towing one of two other rigs in the area to bore for a safety inspection.

Warsaw bans further union actions
WARSAW, Poland –Poland's martial law government released guidelines on union activity yesterday that ban Solidarity leaders and officials from any future role in the country's unions and forbid strikes in almost all circumstances.
It was also announced on Warsaw Radio that martial law ruler, Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelowski, will pay an official visit to the Soviet union early next month.
In a purported interview published in an underground leaflet, two fugitive union leaders said the time was not right for a mass uprising and called for an armed attack.
The long-awaited guidelines, which the government said were intended for public discussion and not final, severely limit union membership, allow strikes only as a "last resort" and hint that contacts with the western trade unions would be banned.
Lack of funds closes Philharmonic
KANSAS CITY. Mo.—Last-minute donations could not land businesses it. No doubt a 24-hour telephone that inspired nearly $172,000 in sales.
Blame it on rising costs, an improverished endowment, a dwindling bank account or all of those causes, but what scapegoat is chosen, the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra has been silenced for the rest of the season—and perils permanently.
The Philharmonic's executive committee announced Saturday evening that it would end the 49th winter season 13 weeks early because there wasn't enough money to finish, despite the 25-hour telethon. The committee had booded the fund raiser could stir up $800,000.
Disappointed musicians and 1,800 grieving patrons trudged to the final concert a few hours later.
Archbishop condemns military acts
"Itadds me greatly to see what's happening in Kansas City because you are losing something vital to our culture," guest conductor Calvin Huffman wrote.
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—the leader of El Salvador. Catholic Church lashed out yesterday against alleged human rights violations by the military, and a 1,000-man government force pounded rebel positions in the eastern part of the war-warraged nation.
In his weekly sermon, acting Archbishop of San Salvador Arturo Rivera y Damas said soldiers routinely put up any civilians by informers in the city.
"Interrogations are done using physical violence, a fact that I believe escapes the control of the high command but that is out of line with the true professionalism of the armed forces," Rivera Y Damas said at San Salvador's Metropolitan Cathedral.
Governors ready to fight cutbacks
WASHINGTON - The nation's governors, struggling to find a bipartisan approach to President Reagan's New Federalism, said yesterday they would fight any plan that included the proposed $10 billion cut in federal aid to the states next year.
After a two-hour closed meeting the governors agreed to reach a position on New Federalism at their winter meeting, but save no hint on what
But since Reagan has said his 1983 budget would be the base for what states get under New Federalism, the governors made it clear they would be able to afford a lower tax rate.
"If we're going to go in health in 1884, we can't take another hemorrhage like we did in 1928." Scott. Matthew D-Utah, said.
Matheson referred to the $25 million federal aid cut that states suffered in the first Reagan budget slashes.
Oil expert says gas prices may fall
The price, which includes taxes, dropped 1.79 cents per gallon, from 130.26 cents to 128.47 cents, based on Landbender's survey of readily dealers in all 50 states.
LOS ANGELES—The overall price of gasoline dropped nearly 2 cents during the past two weeks and could drop 6 cents more by the end of the year, according to the Bloomberg Market Intelligence report.
The basic cause of the price decline, Lundberg said, was consumer resistance to high prices, which has resulted in lower consumption.
The industry's response to the price decline has been to establish a complicated series of rebate programs designed to encourage dealers to sell
