                                                                 PR NEWSWIRE

                     NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST
             ANNOUNCES THE RECEIPT OF PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
                RELATING TO A POTENTIAL ROYALTY ADJUSTMENT


Red Bank, N.J.  January 18, 2016   North European Oil Royalty Trust (the
"Trust") (NYSE-NRT) has been notified by its German accountants, who are in
the process of conducting their examination of the 2013-14 royalty payments
by the operating companies, that the reconciliation in 2013 of a dispute
between Oldenburgische Erdol Gesellschaft ("OEG") and one of its customers
was not properly reflected in the system by which the average gas sales price
is calculated.  It is the calculation of the average gas sales price that
forms the basis for the final determination of royalty payments due the
Trust.  This dispute covered a period of several years, but the Trust does
not have information about how far back the dispute related to.

The Trust is awaiting further information from OEG, but preliminary
statements by OEG suggest that the aggregate negative adjustment OEG might
claim could be up to approximately Euros 1 million (which would be
approximately 12 cents per unit at current exchange rates).  Beyond the
statements to the Trust's German accountants, discussions of any possible
adjustments have not taken place, and the Trust only has limited information
at this point.  As a result, the actual amount and the timing of any such
adjustment are not yet known.  The Trust, together with its German advisors,
will closely examine the final report from OEG once it is received and will
actively contest any portion of such adjustment that it does not believe is
warranted.
