FieldPoint Petroleum Names New President

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (NYSE/MKT:FPP) announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed Philip H. Roberson to serve as President. 

FieldPoint's Executive Chairman, Roger Bryant, stated, "Phil's relationship with FPP goes back several years, and we were very fortunate to have him join the company earlier this year, following the loss of our founder, Ray Reaves. Phil took over the day to day operations of the company at that time, and has worked tirelessly to see that we meet all of our operational objectives. I believe the results of these efforts will be evident at year end. In addition to these operational duties, Phil led the way to our recently announced agreement with Riley Exploration Group that will involve the re-development of an approximate 8,000 acre AMI (Area of Mutual Interest) in the Taylor Serbin Field located in south Texas. This will be the largest project that the company has ever undertaken. I am very confident that the Board of Directors has made the right decision with this appointment. Phil will be a key player in achieving our ongoing objective of building shareholder value."

Mr. Roberson added, "I sincerely appreciate the trust that the board has shown in me.  This is a very exciting time for FieldPoint and I am thrilled to be a part of it."   

Mr. Roberson will continue to serve as the company's Chief Financial Officer.

Prior to joining FieldPoint, Mr. Roberson was a founder of AEG Operating LLC, an independent oil and gas exploration company, where he was instrumental in the funding, acquisition and day to day operations of the firms operated and non-operated properties.  Previously, he served as a Director of Energy Investment Banking with Tejas Securities, Inc. where he assisted Exploration & Production and Energy Service companies with debt & equity offerings.  Until it was acquired by Tejas Securities, Mr. Roberson was an Equity Analyst with Arabella Securities, LLC, covering Energy and Special Situation companies. Mr. Roberson received a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin and is a licensed Certified Public Accountant.
