HOUSTON -- The *I*Independence Hub*I* floating production platform set sail on Jan. 29 from Corpus Christi, Texas, for a five-day trip to Mississippi Canyon block 920 where it will be installed.
The hub, owned by Enterprise Products Partners (80%) and Helix Energy Solutions Group (20%), will be moored 241 km (150 mi) southeast of Venice, Louisiana, in 2,438 m (8,000 ft) of water, the deepest to date for an offshore platform, according to Enterprise.
Mechanical completion of the platform is expected by mid-March, followed by first production in the second half of the year.
Heerema Marine Contractors is responsible for the hull and mooring system transport and installation.
