Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009

  

File No.  001-32624


Dear Mr. Shannon:


        On behalf of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (the "Company"), please be advised that concurrently herewith the Company is filing its Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K responding to comments received under letter dated December 22, 2010.  To facilitate your review, please accept the following:


Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2009


Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2


Comment 1.  It appears that each of your third party reports filed as exhibits have all but the last page omitted.  Please revise to provide all disclosures required by 1202(a)(8) of Regulation S-K.


Response:  The third party reports are being filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to the Form 10-K/A-1.


Reserves, page 12


Proved Reserves Reporting, page 12


Table of Proved Developed and Undeveloped Reserves, page 13


Comment 2.  Please provide the disclosures required by Item 1203(b-d) of Regulation S-K.


Response:  The Form 10-K/A-1 has been revised as requested.  See page 13.






Comment 3.  Please disclose whether you are committed to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil or gas in the near future under existing contracts or agreements.  If so, please provide the disclosures required by Item 1207 of Regulation S-K.


Response:  The Form 10-K/A-1 has been revised as requested.  See page 11.


Preparation of Proved Reserve Estimates, page 14


Internal Controls Over Preparation of Proved Reserves Estimates, page 14


Comment 4.  We note your disclosure that your reserve estimates were prepared by third party petroleum engineers.  Please provide a discussion of the specific internal controls that you used to ensure objectivity in the reserve estimation process and disclose the qualifications of your internal technical person primarily responsible for overseeing the reserve estimate of the external petroleum engineers.  Refer to Item 1202(a)(7) of Regulation S-K.


Response:  The Form 10-K/A-1 has been revised as requested.  See page 14.


Statements of Cash Flows, page F-6


Comment 5.  We note that you classify your short term investments as trading securities.  In addition, you classify the proceeds from the sale of short term investments as an operating activity and the purchases as an investing activity.  Please tell us how you considered the guidance in ASC 230-10-45-20.


Response:  Supplementally, please be advised that the Company agrees that the securities purchases should be considered as an operating activity.  The Company has determined that the amount of the misclassification is not material and, accordingly, does not require a restatement of the financial statements.  The Company undertakes to properly classify purchase of securities as an operating activity in future filings.


        Further, on behalf of the Company, we acknowledge that:


·

the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures in its filings;

·

staff comments or changes to disclosures in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to a filing; and

·

the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.





        Please let me know if you have further comments or questions.



     

Sincerely,


____/s/ Clifford L. Neuman_____
