Nordic Oil and Gas Announces 2007 Second Quarter and First Half Results

WINNIPEG, MB. (AUGUST 30, 2006) Nordic Oil and Gas Ltd. (TSXV: NOG) today announced the Company's financial results from operations for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007. All amounts referenced herein are in Canadian dollars.

Revenue from natural gas and Coal Bed Methane (“CBM”) sales for the six-month period (including liquids and transport revenue and interest revenue) totaled $364,568, down slightly from the $387,217 reported for same period in 2006. Revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 totaled $175,429 down approximately $14,000 over the Q1 2007 total, but an increase of about $15,000 over the 2006 Q2 total. The marginal decline in quarter over quarter revenue totals was due to a 5% drop in natural gas prices during the period under review, coupled with the fact that the Company’s 15-12 well, which is awaiting a fluid lift system, recorded very little production.

Cash, including term deposits and accounts receivable for the first six months of the year totaled $9,876 compared to $377,669 for the same period in 2006. In addition, net cash flow from operating activities (cash received from operators minus cash paid to suppliers and for royalties) was down for the first half of 2007 to $182,877 as compared to $204,269, and was down for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, to $66,578.

Total assets as at June 30, 2007 were $3,825,864, down slightly from the $4,039,556 at the end of Q1 2007 and down approximately $200,000 compared to the first half of 2006.

General and administrative expenses for the first half totaled $108,584, up about $37,000 from the same period in 2006, while for the quarter, G & A expenses were up over the comparable period in 2006 - $68,081 this year versus $43,914 last year. Overall expenses for the first half of 2007 were up approximately $107,000 at $719,313 compared to the first half of 2006 at $612,794, while overall expenses for the second quarter under review were also up from those recorded for Q1 2007 at $414,484 as compared to $304,829. This was due primarily to the increase in depletion and amortization costs to $124,698 for the quarter, compared to $96,199 in Q1 2007 and the increase in professional fees from $7,499 to $41,152.

The Company recorded a net loss before income taxes of $354,746 for the first six months of 2007, up approximately $130,000 over the same period a year ago while for the quarter, the Company recorded a net loss of $239,056 compared to a loss of $84,778 reported in Q2 2006.

Average monthly production volume for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 48.2 BOEs*/day, and 46.61 BOEs*/day for the second quarter. The Company received $6.858/GJ as an average gas price during the first half of the year and $6.7005/GJ for the second quarter.

“While we are disappointed at the drop in gas prices, which adversely affected our revenue and bottom line totals, overall, we are pleased at the amount of gas we are producing at this time,” Mr. Benson stated. “We are also excited about the prospects for our new well in Joffre, which was perforated in late August. Field measurement results from the two-day flow test showed that the middle Belly River zone had gas rates of 18.5 10³m³ during a one hour flow test. The Belly River formation where the measurement was taken was perforated at between 649.5 metres and 651 metres, while the gas rate level at the 699.5-metre to 702-metre interval tested at 3.5 10³M³.”

In this regard, further to the Company’s News Release dated August 24, 2007, the Company wishes to clarify the term 10³M³: the combined 23 10³M³ for the three intervals within the well that was tested, equates to 820 MCF/day.

The Corporation plans to tie this well into its pipeline system – a distance of 200 metres – and will begin to produce it during the 4th quarter once gas prices rise.

One of the highlights of the second quarter came in June when the Company entered into an agreement to acquire approximately 8,000 acres of Petroleum & Natural Gas leases in the Peace River Arch and Lloydminster regions of Alberta. An initial down payment on the purchase was made on August 14, 2007, with the closing date set at September 14, 2007, subject to customary industry regulations and conditions.

“As we stated at the time of the announcement, these lands will provide Nordic with new core areas for the Corporation and will be a strategic fit for our current production and impending drilling activity at Joffre, Alberta,” Mr. Benson said. “The lands have been evaluated by independent geological and in-house geophysical consultants and based on this evaluation, and that of management, the Corporation is very excited about the potential of these new acquisitions.”

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company announced an offering of up to 1 million Units of Nordic at a price of $0.20 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one Class A common share of the Corporation issued as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of a Class A common share purchase warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one regular Class A common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. In early August, the Company went on to announce the closing of the Offering with the issuance of 1,000,000 units at a price of $0.20 per Unit for gross proceeds of $200,000 to certain funds in the EnergyFields Group. A further non-brokered Offering of flow-through shares is expected to close in early September.

Mr. Benson stated that the Company looks forward to the remainder of 2007 with considerable optimism: “We are extremely pleased at the successful test results from our new well in Joffre. We intend to continue pursuing Private Placement Offerings in the coming weeks, which will allow us to proceed with new drilling initiatives in Joffre and give us the opportunity to begin drilling in Lloydminster as well.

“We very much look forward to getting into this region, along with the Peace River Arch area next year, which will allow us to diversify our production into such areas as heavy oil and Blue Sky gas,” he added. “Furthermore, the three CBM wells that were drilled last year are expected to be tied-in and on production shortly, and we also expect to have our 15-12-38-25 W4 well in Joffre, which is being fitted with a fluid lift system, on full production in Q3.”
