FIELDPOINT PETROLEUM CORPORATION

LAUNCHES HEDGING PROGRAM

AUSTIN, TX – (PRNEWSWIRE) – AUGUST 9, 2011 - FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (AMEX:FPP) announced today that it has entered into a hedging agreement that will protect approximately 100% of its daily oil production for the remainder of 2011.

Ray Reaves, President and CEO for FieldPoint stated “The Company felt very strongly that oil prices would remain above $90 for the first half of 2011, but we now face increased uncertainty for the second half of the year.  Consequently, the board of directors decided in June that it would be wise to protect cash flow for the second half by hedging, and we put in place a costless collar with an $85 floor and $102.50 ceiling.  This collar is in effect from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.  Near the end of this period, we will review the market conditions and make appropriate adjustments to the collar.  We expect to continue this form of protection for the foreseeable future due to the volatility of the market.”

Mr. Reaves concluded by saying, “In the past, our financial performance has been quite good when oil prices stayed within the range of this collar.  By choosing this form of hedging, the price we receive for oil cannot fall below the floor, and the Company only incurs costs if oil prices exceed our ceiling.  The board believes that the protection this gives our shareholders is well worth accepting this cap.”
