FieldPoint Petroleum Partners in Horizontal
Drilling Project in Lea County, New Mexico Cimarex Energy Co will be well operator
with 37.5% working interest and FieldPoint will hold 43.75% working
interest. AUSTIN, Texas June 21,
2010 /Business wire/ - FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation
(NYSE/AMEX: FPP) announced today that it has signed an operating
agreement with Cimarex Energy Co, (NYSE: XEC) www.cimarex.com
to drill two wells that will target the Bone Spring formation in section
15 of the East Lusk Federal field in Lea County, New Mexico. The
proposals include the possibility of drilling an additional well in
the same section, depending upon the success of the first two wells.
The total cost for each well is expected to be approximately $4,000,000. The wells are proposed
to be drilled vertically to a depth of approximately 9,500 feet to the
Bone Spring formation and laterally within the formation to the bottom
hole location. Total measured depth of the wells is expected to
be approximately 14,000 plus feet. The time that drilling will
begin is at the discretion of Cimarex, but it is anticipated that drilling
will begin within approximately 90 to 120 days. FieldPoint is aware of
at least one horizontal well within approximately 5-10 miles of the
subject area that had production tests ranging from 400 to 800 barrels
of oil per day. This is not necessarily an indication of what the proposed
wells should be expected to produce. FieldPoint’s President
and CEO, Ray Reaves stated, “There are two highly important aspects
of this drilling program. First, we believe that when it comes
down to the well completion process, Cimarex Energy is one of the best,
if not the very best, in the industry at completing wells in the Bone
Spring formation. This is very important for well success and
optimal well production. And second, if successful, we believe
that this drilling program could serve to significantly increase our
daily production and reserve base. Considering those two points
together makes this quite possibly our most important project to date." 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 proposed wells.
