                                                                 PR NEWSWIRE

                    NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST
                      ANNOUNCES THE DISTRIBUTION
                  FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2013


Red Bank, N.J.  July 29, 2013   The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty
Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a quarterly distribution of $0.49 per unit
for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, payable on August 28, 2013 to holders
of record on August 16, 2013.  Natural gas sold during the second calendar
quarter of 2013 is the primary source of royalty income on which the August
2013 distribution is based.

John R. Van Kirk, Managing Director, reported that this year's quarterly
distribution of $0.49 was 19.67%, or $0.12 per unit, lower than the
distribution of $0.61 for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.  No information
on sales or production has yet been received from the operating companies.
Specific details will be available in the earnings press release scheduled
for release on or about August 13, 2013.

Trust royalty payments for each fiscal quarter are based on actual royalties
payable for the preceding calendar quarter.  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 underpayment is added to the amount of
royalties paid during the final month of the current fiscal quarter.  Any
overpayment is deducted from the amount of royalties to be paid in the first
month of the Trust's next fiscal quarter.  In the quarter just ending, the
Trust received an overpayment in the amount of Euros 166,789.  This
overpayment will be deducted from royalties anticipated to be received in
August 2013.

The table below shows an estimate of the amount of royalties anticipated to
be received during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 based on the actual
amount of royalties that were payable to the Trust for the second calendar
quarter of 2013.  Amounts in dollars are based on the current exchange rate
of 1.3276.   Actual royalty income in dollars is valued based on exchange
rates on the days funds are transferred.  The August estimate below includes
an adjustment for the overpayment of royalties which occurred in the
preceding quarter.
