FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation Acquires Interest in Property; Boosts Production and Earnings Prospects
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: FPPC - news) today announced the acquisition of a 20.64% working interest representing a 16.19% net revenue interest in 30 wells located in Grady County, Oklahoma, from a privately held independent oil and gas company with assets in excess of $300 million. Belco Energy Corp. is the operator. In a competitive bid process, FieldPoint was the high bid, paying $1.0 million for its interest, financed through its credit facility.
The interest being acquired currently produces 89 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE) to FieldPoint with the Company's interest consisting of proven reserves of 216,000 BOE. This acquisition increases the Company's proved reserves from 966,000 BOE reported on January 1, 2000, to approximately 1,144,949 BOE. Furthermore, as a result of this transaction, the Company's daily production will increase from 170 BOE as reported on January 1, 2000, to 259 BOE, representing an increase of 52%.
According to FieldPoint's President, Ray D. Reaves, ``This acquisition demonstrates the Company's commitment to expand its reserve base and increase production and cash flow through the acquisition and development of low risk producing oil and gas properties. In an effort to continue to increase production from this acquisition, two additional wells will be drilled on the property, the first of which is currently underway.''
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation is engaged in oil and gas exploration, production and acquisition, primarily in Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming.
