Anadarko Chose Autoload-Offshore 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.

Autoload-Offshore is ASC’s onboard stability and simulation software. Whether the vessel is a semisubmersible, jack-up, drill ship, TLP, Spar, or other offshore vessel, Autoload-Offshore will meet the loading, stability monitoring and strength requirements. Configured specifically for each rig, platform, or vessel, Autoload’s ability to simulate any current or anticipated loading condition will enable an individual to quickly verify stability, trim, drafts, and structural strength status.
