Exhibit 99
                                                                PR NEWSWIRE

                 NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
           THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2014

     Red Bank, N.J.  January 31, 2014   The Trustees of North European Oil
Royalty Trust (NYSE-NRT) today announced a quarterly distribution of $0.54 per
unit for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, payable on February 26, 2014 to
holders of record on February 14, 2014.  Natural gas sold during the fourth
calendar quarter of 2013 is the primary source of royalty income on which the
February distribution is based.

     John R. Van Kirk, Managing Director, reported that this year's quarterly
distribution of $0.54 per unit is 8.47%, or $0.05 per unit, lower than the
distribution of $0.59 per unit for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  The
combination of lower gas sales and lower gas prices under both the Mobil and
OEG royalty agreements caused the decline in royalty income.
