                 NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
           THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF FISCAL 2016

Red Bank, N.J.  October 28, 2016   The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty
Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a quarterly distribution of $0.12 per unit
for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, payable on November 30, 2016 to
holders of record on November 18, 2016.

John R. Van Kirk, Managing Director, reported that this year's quarterly
distribution of $0.12 per unit is 47.83%, or $0.11 per unit, lower than the
distribution of $0.23 per unit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
Specific details will be available in the earnings press release scheduled
for publication on or about November 18, 2016.

The Trust and the German operating companies signed amendments to the royalty
agreements on August 26, 2016.  The amendments establish a new simpler
pricing model based upon the German border import price, which is determined
by the German Federal Statistical Office on the basis of the prices and
volumes of all gas imported into Germany.  The change to the German border
import prices is intended to be, and the Trustees believe it will be, revenue
neutral for the Trust.  A complete description of the amendments will be
available in the Trust's 2016 10-K and 2016 Annual Report.

The cumulative distribution for fiscal 2016, which includes this November
distribution and the three prior quarterly distributions, is $0.67 per unit
as compared to $1.27 per unit for fiscal 2015.  The cumulative distribution
for fiscal 2016 is 47.24% or $0.60 per unit lower than the cumulative
distribution for fiscal 2015.  The Trust makes quarterly distributions to
unit owners during the months of February, May, August and November.
