SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-52840; File No. 81-934]


Order Granting an Application of Global Industries, Ltd. Under 
Section 12(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

November 28, 2005.
    Global Industries, Ltd. has filed an application under section 
12(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Global 
Industries has asked the Commission to extend the due date for Global 
Industries's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to 
November 29, 2005. Global Industries states that its principal 
executive offices are located in Carlyss, Louisiana, which is within 
one of the Presidentially Declared Disaster Areas for both Hurricane 
Katrina and Hurricane Rita. In its application, Global Industries 
asserts that an extension of the due date for Global Industries's Form 
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 is necessary due to, 
among other things, the mandatory evacuations and the extraordinary 
disruptions to Global Industries's facilities, personnel, and 
information technology resources caused by Hurricane Rita.
    On November 4, 2005, the Commission issued a notice of the filing 
of the application giving interested persons until November 25, 2005 an 
opportunity to request a hearing and stating that an order disposing of 
the application might be issued upon the basis of the information 
stated therein unless a hearing should be ordered. No request for a 
hearing has been filed and the Commission has not ordered a hearing.
    The matter having been considered, it is found that the requested 
exemption is appropriate in the public interest and consistent with the 
protection of investors and the purposes fairly intended by the policy 
and provisions of the Exchange Act.
    It is ordered, pursuant to section 12(h) of the Exchange Act, that 
the application to extend the due date for Global Industries's Form 10-
Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to November 29, 2005 be, and 
hereby is, granted, effective immediately.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Corporation Finance, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
