Shell Oil Co. and Delmar

Systems have agreed upon a plan in which Delmar will provide a suction anchoring system for rig mooring in water depths up to 8,000 ft. (2,440 m.) for Shell's

Deepwater Development division.

The system allows for pre- deployment of the anchor so that crews can begin operations imme- diately upon arrival.

Delivery of the anchoring sys- Chart requests subject to availability and are considered on a case-by-case basis.
