Anadarko Chose Autoload-Offshore Stability Software
Autoship Systems Corporation (ASC) is pleased to announce another Autoload® installation on the new semi-submersible platform, Independence Hub.

Jim Rohr & Associates (JRA) of Houston, Texas and a Dealer with ASC, was selected by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation to provide Autoload-Offshore for the new semi-sub designed by Atlantia Offshore Limited. The 105 foot deep draft platform will serve as a regional hub for natural gas production from multiple ultra-deepwater fields in the Gulf of Mexico. The platform will be capable of processing 850 million cubic feet of gas per day. It is designed to process production from six anchor fields and has excess payload capacity to tie back up to 10 additional fields. First production is expected in February 2007.
