Item 8.01. Other Events.
ATP Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company”) announced today, first production at its Clipper development located in Green Canyon (GC) 300 in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The Company encountered oil and gas pay sands at two Clipper wells, the GC 300 #4 and the GC 300 #2 ST#1, in 2011. Today’s production announcement is for first oil at the GC 300 #4 well. Production from the GC 300 #2 ST#1 is expected in the upcoming months. Both wells tie in to the Murphy Oil operated Front Runner production facility. The Company operates Clipper and presently owns a 100% working interest.
On August 17, 2012, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Information with respect to the Chapter 11 proceeding is available on ATP’s website at www.atpog.com or at www.kccllc.net/atpog and by calling (866) 967-1787.
