AUSTIN, Texas, July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- FieldPoint
Petroleum Corporation (NYSE/MKT:FPP) announced that it has
completed the sale of 401 net acres in Lea County, New Mexico, held by multiple East
Lusk 15 Federal Com wells ("East Lusk Wells") and the Jennings
Federal Com No. 1 well ("Jennings Well"), to a private E&P
company. FieldPoint will retain its 43.75% net working interest in
the East Lusk Wells and its 87.50% net working interest in the
Jennings Well. Total sales price for the asset was $1,200,000.
Phillip Roberson, President and
CFO, said, "One million dollars of
the funds from this transaction were used to further reduce
outstanding bank debt. The remaining balance will be used for
operating expenses. We are fortunate to be able to make another
significant reduction in debt without a loss in production. Today's
transaction is another step toward regaining compliance with the
terms of our bank debt, and with the NYSE listing requirements. We
will continue to market non-core assets to pay down debt, while
searching for new growth opportunities."
