FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation reported that the Company and its drilling partner Cimarex Energy Co., have completed the East Lusk Federal 15 well #1 in the Bone Spring Formation.

FieldPoint’s President and CEO, Ray Reaves stated, “On December 17, 2011 the first oil production began to hit the tanks. Since then the well has produced and continues to produce oil. On December 20, 2011 the well produced 446 barrels of oil during a 24 hour period, and was venting all gas. Without certainty, the Company has reason to believe that the oil production could increase. We continue venting gas as we wait on the gas line hook-up.”

As previously disclosed, the agreement with Cimarex Energy calls for the drilling of a second well on this property, dependant upon the results of this first well. Based on these early results, the Company anticipates that the second well will be drilled.

Mr. Reaves concluded with, “Our shareholders are aware that this is our first participation in a horizontal drilling project. At this point, I would have to say that we are very glad that we did, and that we partnered with Cimarex,. As in the past, we will attempt to keep our shareholders up to date as progress is made with this very important drilling program.”

FieldPoint will own a 43.75% working interest, Cimarex will own a 37.5% working interest, and other partners will own the remaining 18.75% working interest in the two wells.
