Innovative and Notable Technology Developed
The company has developed refinements to existing technology including developing a subsea well in 500 feet (150 m) of water with an 11-mile (18 km) pipeline and an umbilical controlled by direct hydraulics, which as, at the time, the longest direct hydraulic system in the world. Previously it was thought that direct hydraulics could not be used for distances beyond five to seven miles (11 km). ATP was awarded Best Field Improvement Project 1999 for this innovation by Hart’s Oil and Gas World magazine.
ATP set a new world record for the Longest Subsea Oil Tieback at its Ladybug wells in Garden Banks Block 409 in the Gulf of Mexico. About 91,865 ft (28,000 m) of 6-in. pipe were laid in 1,360 ft (410 m) waters to tie the Ladybug wells to the Garden Banks 189 “A” platform.
The company also incorporates networking and the internet communication. This results in the company operating 17 unmanned platforms dramatically lowering costs. The company received the Inc./Cisco Growing with Technology Award 2000 for this accomplishment.

Famous quotes containing the words innovative, notable, technology and/or developed:
“A conventional good read is usually a bad read, a relaxing bath in what we know already. A true good read is surely an act of innovative creation in which we, the readers, become conspirators.”
—Malcolm Bradbury (b. 1932)
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“I have developed a visionary modern lyric, and, for it, an idiom in which I can write lyrically, colloquially, and dramatically. My subject is city life—with its sofas, hotel corridors, cinemas, underworlds, cardboard suitcases, self-willed buses, banknotes, soapy bathrooms, newspaper-filled parks; and its anguish, its enraged excitement, its great lonely joys.”
—Rosemary Tonks (b. 1932)
