FieldPoint Petroleum: In The News...

AUSTIN, Texas, October 22 /PRNewswire

FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: FPPC) (the "Company") announces that it has closed on an Agreement effective October 1, 2001 to purchase certain interests in the Ona NW Unit, to include oil and gas reserves and related assets. The Ona NW Unit is located in the Oklahoma panhandle in Texas County, Oklahoma and to a lesser extent, Cimarron County, Oklahoma.

The purchase includes working interest of 89.96% and net revenue interests of 73.27% with production of approximately 104 barrels of oil equivalent per day net to FieldPoint. As a result of this transaction, FieldPoint will add 240,550 barrels of oil equivalent reserves, 130,867 of which are classified as proved producing. The total purchase price was approximately $730,000.00 financed with available cash and through FieldPoint's credit facility.

FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation will be the operator of the Ona NW Unit. Production depths range from 4,500 feet to 5,000 feet with the Morrow formation representing the majority of production. FieldPoint Petroleum intends to conduct additional workovers and equipment upgrades during 2002, anticipating capital expenditures of approximately $400,000 by year end 2002. Management believes this will increase production levels on this property to approximately 180 to 225 barrels of oil equivalent per day net to FieldPoint.

"Not only does this acquisition represent a significant step in expanding our production operations in Oklahoma, but it replaces 212% of our 2000 annual production and 146% of anticipated 2001 annual production,'' stated Ray D. Reaves, FieldPoint's President. Reaves further commented, ``The Ona NW Unit purchase fortifies our ongoing strategy of acquiring producing oil and gas properties offering cashflow with relatively low-risk development opportunities."

FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation is engaged in oil and gas exploration, production and acquisition, primarily in Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming. The Company's business strategy is to continue to expand its reserve base and increase production and cash flow through the acquisition and development of low risk producing oil and gas properties which offer the opportunity for moderate to high returns on investment.
