ATP Oil & Gas Corporation announced that it has received a permit to complete the previously drilled #2 well at Green Canyon (“GC”) Block 300 (“Clipper”) in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
“ We are pleased that the BOEMRE is confident in ATP’s commitment to safe and environmentally sound operations ,” stated T. Paul Bulmahn , ATP’s Chairman and CEO. “ The Gulf of Mexico is where we refined our deepwater expertise and we are looking forward to generating further production growth.”
The GC 300 #2 well, located in 3,454 feet of water, was sidetracked and encountered a gas reservoir between 15,590 and 15,721 feet total vertical depth in 2006. ATP plans to commence well operations with the Diamond Ocean Victory in 2011. ATP operates GC 300 with a 55% working interest.
