FPP also announced that it has signed an operating agreement with Cimarex Energy Co, to drill a third horizontal well that will target the Bone Spring formation on its East Lusk Federal Section 15 property located in Lea County, New Mexico.    If successful, there is the possibility of drilling a fourth well on this property by the end of the year.
