AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (NYSE/MKT:FPP) today reported the drilling of the Ranger Unit 8A #1H with Riley Exploration Group of Blanchard, OK. Completion and fracking of the well is to begin this week.
FieldPoint President, Phillip Roberson, stated, "Although our Joint Exploration Agreement only became effective on January 1, 2014, and we are both still finishing our final due diligence and title work, our partner drilled this well in December and has invited us to participate under the terms of the agreement. We have elected to participate, and will have a 25% working interest in this well, as with all wells drilled under this agreement. We appreciate that Riley has chosen to use this well as an early launch of our joint drilling program, which is being referred to as the Ranger Project."
The Ranger Project will primarily focus on drilling horizontal Taylor Sand wells in the Serbin Field, located in Lee and Bastrop Counties, Texas. The project plan calls for up to twelve horizontal wells to be drilled in 2014, and also includes a revitalization of existing vertical wells, which could result in significant increases in production. The total number of horizontal wells to be drilled over the life of the agreement is yet to be determined.
Roger Bryant, Executive Chairman for FieldPoint, added, "Allowing us to participate in this well, which was drilled prior to our agreement becoming effective, is another show of good faith by our partner Riley Exploration. We have been very pleased with all of our dealings to date, and look forward to a long and profitable relationship."
