                    NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST
                      ANNOUNCES THE DISTRIBUTION
                  FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2011


          Red Bank, N.J.  April 29, 2011 -The Trustees of North European Oil
Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) today announced a quarterly distribution of $0.73
per unit for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, payable on May 25, 2011 to
holders of record on May 13, 2011.  Natural gas sold during the first calendar
quarter of 2011 is the primary source of royalty income on which the May
distribution is based.  John R. Van Kirk, Managing Director, reported that
this year's quarterly distribution of $0.73 per unit is 43.14%, or $0.22 per
unit, higher than the distribution of $0.51 per unit for the second quarter
of fiscal 2010.  No information on sales or production has yet been received.
Details will be available in the press release announcing the Trust's net
income scheduled for release on or about May 13, 2011.

          Trust royalty payments for each fiscal quarter are now based on
actual royalties payable for the preceding calendar quarter.  As part of the
royalty payment process, in the final month of the Trust's fiscal quarter the
operating companies determine the actual amount of royalties that should have
been paid to the Trust and compare this amount to the amount actually paid.
Any overpayment is deducted from the amount of royalties to be paid in the
first month of the Trust's next fiscal quarter.  Any underpayment would be
added to the amount of royalties paid during the final month of the current
fiscal quarter.  In the quarter just ending, an underpayment in the amount of
$188,254 was received on April 26, 2011.  Additionally, a royalty payment in
the amount of $161,723 was received for sulfur sales from western Oldenburg.

          The table below shows the anticipated amount of royalties in Euros
(based on the actual amount of royalties that were paid to the Trust for the
first calendar quarter of 2011), in dollars based on the current exchange
rate of 1.464905 and the dollar royalties in cents per unit.  These figures
can only be approximate due to changing Euro/dollar exchange rates.
