Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements included in this news release contain
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the “safe
harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. ATP cautions
that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions, plans,
beliefs or similar expressions used to identify forward-looking
statements about future events may, and often do, vary from actual
results and the differences can be material from those expressed or
implied in such forward looking statements. Some of the key factors
which could cause actual results to vary from those ATP expects
include, without limitation, volatility in commodity prices for
crude oil and natural gas, the condition of the capital markets
generally, as well as ability to access them, the timing of planned
capital expenditures, uncertainties in estimating reserves and
forecasting production results, operational factors affecting the
commencement or maintenance of producing wells, and uncertainties
regarding environmental regulations or litigation and other legal
or regulatory developments affecting its business. ATP assumes no
obligation and expressly disclaims any duty to update the
information contained herein except as required by law. While ATP
does not file reports with the SEC containing probable and possible
reserve quantities, ATP occasionally will include them in news
releases, presentations and discuss such reserves publicly. ATP and
its independent third party reservoir engineers use the term
“probable” to describe volumes of reserves potentially recoverable
through additional drilling or recovery techniques that, by their
nature, are more speculative than estimates of proved reserves. Any
estimates of reserves in this news release have been prepared by
our independent third party engineers. More information about the
risks and uncertainties relating to ATP's forward-looking
statements is found in the company's SEC filings or website,
