Exhibit 99.1
Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. Provides Operations Update and 2012 Capital Expenditure Budget
WAYZATA, MINNESOTA — December 15, 2011 — Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE/AMEX: NOG) (“Northern Oil”) today provided an operations update and established its expected 2012 capital budget.
ACREAGE AND DRILLING UPDATE
During the fourth quarter of 2011 through December 12, 2011, Northern Oil has acquired leasehold interests covering approximately 7,600 net mineral acres for an aggregate cost of $19 million, or approximately $2,500 per net acre. As a result, Northern Oil controls over 160,000 net acres in the Williston Basin Bakken and Three Forks play as of December 12, 2011.
Northern Oil has spud approximately 11 net wells during the fourth quarter of 2011 through December 12, 2011, bringing the cumulative net wells spud in 2011 to approximately 37 through December 12, 2011. Northern Oil reaffirms that it expects to spud approximately 40 total net wells in 2011.
During the fourth quarter of 2011 through December 12, 2011, Northern Oil has added production from 98 gross (9.9 net) wells. Northern Oil is currently participating in an additional 203 gross (21.4 net) Bakken or Three Forks wells drilling, awaiting completion or completing as of December 12, 2011. Northern Oil reaffirms that it expects to exit the fourth quarter of 2011 with production volumes of approximately 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
2012 DRILLING AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Based on recent rig activity and pace of drilling in the Williston Basin, Northern Oil currently expects to spud approximately 44 net wells and spend approximately $325 million in drilling capital expenditures during 2012. Northern Oil anticipates average completed costs per net well will approximate $7.4 million during 2012, primarily due to its exposure to more long lateral wells, which are increasingly drilled on 1,280 acre spacing units using synthetic proppants.
Northern Oil also expects to continue deploying additional capital toward strategic acreage acquisitions throughout 2012, generally consistent with past practices. Northern Oil currently expects to fund all 2012 capital expenditures with cash flows and borrowings.
2012 DERIVATIVES ACTIVITY
Northern Oil currently has approximately 1.4 million total barrels of oil subject to derivative contracts for 2012, including one million barrels swapped with a weighted average price of $90.87, and 400 thousand barrels collared with a weighted average floor price of $88.28.

* The WI noted above are based on Northern Oil’s internal records and are subject to verification by operators’ third-party legal counsel in connection with the preparation of final division order title opinions.
** The “IP” means the initial production (“IP”) rate expressed in barrels of oil equivalent per day. The IP rate is the 24-hour “Peak Production Rate.” Peak Production Rates may be established following the initial day of production, depending on operator design or well flowback profiles. The IP rate may be estimated based on other third party estimates or limited data available at this time. The IP is computed using barrels of oil equivalent.

SAFE HARBOR
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry conditions, and indebtedness covenant compliance are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our Company’s control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the regions in which our Company conducts business, oil and gas prices, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, our ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our Company’s operations, products, services and prices.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
