Acquired Reserves Could Replace More Than 50% of 2008 Estimated Production

 

AUSTIN, Texas (June 16, 2008) / BusinessWire/ - FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (AMEX: - FPP - News) today announced the acquisition of various interests in the Spraberry Trend located in Midland County, Texas and in the Flying M Field located in Lea County, New Mexico. The Spraberry Trend is operated by Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE-PXD), and the Flying M Field is operated by Chesapeake Energy Corp (NYSE-CHK). The acquisition price is $1,295,000 for various interests in seven producing wells and the leasehold and related equipment, effective July 1, 2008. The working interests range from 6.5% to 39.25% and the net revenue interests range from 5.69% to 29.44%. Based upon engineering reports and certain standard assumptions, this is expected to add approximately 401,000 BOE in proved developed producing reserves net to FieldPoint. FieldPointÕs belief is that the proved producing reserves could increase when and if addition wells are drilled or recompleted.

 

ÒWe are excited to be the successful bidder for these properties.Ó, stated Ray Reaves, President and CEO for FieldPoint. ÒIt is an important acquisition for FieldPoint. We estimate that the reserves acquired could replace more than 50% of our total 2008 oil and natural gas production. We also believe that this acquisition could further serve to increase our production by affording FieldPoint the opportunity for certain additional development in these fields."
