Exhibit 99
                                                                 PR NEWSWIRE

                    NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST
                      ANNOUNCES THE DISTRIBUTION
                  FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2011


Red Bank, N.J.  July 28, 2011 - The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty
Trust (NYSE-NRT) announced today a quarterly distribution of $0.71 per unit
for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, payable on August 31, 2011 to holders
of record on August 12, 2011.  Royalties attributable to the sale of natural
gas from the Trust's overriding royalty area in northwest Germany are the
primary source of income for the Trust.

John R. Van Kirk, Managing Director, reported that this year's quarterly
distribution of $0.71 was 51.06% higher than the distribution of $0.47 for
the third quarter of fiscal 2010.  The reasons for the increase in the
distribution were higher average gas prices and a higher average Euro/dollar
exchange rate.  These factors were offset slightly by the decline in gas
sales compared to the prior year's equivalent quarter.  Further details
will be available in the earnings press release scheduled for release on or
about August 12, 2011.

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.

The table below shows the anticipated amount of royalties for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2011 based on the actual amount of royalties that were
payable to the Trust for the second calendar quarter of 2011.  Amounts in
dollars are based on the current exchange rate of 1.4446.   Actual royalty
income in dollars is valued based on exchange rates on the day funds are
transferred.  The August estimate below includes an adjustment for the
overpayment of royalties which occurred in the preceding quarter.
