ATP plans to complete one existing well and sidetrack and complete a second well tying-back to existing industry infrastructure with first production slated for late 2009.

George R. Morris, Chief Operating Officer of ATP Oil & Gas, said, Over the next 18 months, ATP plans to develop Clipper by procuring equipment, completing and tying-back two wells for over 60 Bcfe of reserve potential.
