FieldPoint Petroleum Well in Lea County, New Mexico Hits New Production High-Most Recent Output at 758 BOPD

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (NYSE/AMEX:FPP) today provided an update on the latest production information from its recently completed East Lusk Federal 15 well #1 in Lea County, New Mexico.   

FieldPoint's President and CEO, Ray Reaves, stated, "We have been very pleased with the performance of this well since it came on line in late December.  Our excitement was elevated when the operator reported that on January 9th the well production was up to 933 BOPD.  The well is still operating with the original size choke and also on that day delivered a natural gas flow rate of 425 MCFPD."     

Mr. Reaves concluded by adding, "We still have no way of knowing when production from this well will begin to level off and stabilize.  Needless to say, we are becoming more anxious to begin the drilling of well #2 on this property."

As previously stated FieldPoint owns a 43.75% working interest in the East Lusk Federal well #1 and will own the same interest in well #2.
