Exhibit 99
                                                                PR NEWSWIRE

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


Red Bank, N.J.  January 29, 2016   The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty
Trust (NYSE-NRT) today announced a quarterly distribution of $0.16 per unit
for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, payable on February 24, 2016 to holders
of record on February 12, 2016.  Natural gas sold during the fourth calendar
quarter of 2015 is the primary source of royalty income on which the February
distribution is based.

John R. Van Kirk, Managing Director, reported that this year's quarterly
distribution of $0.16 per unit is 54.29%, or $0.19 per unit, lower than the
distribution of $0.35 per unit for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
The decline in the quarterly distribution is primarily attributable to the
combination of lower gas sales, gas prices and average exchange rates under
both royalty agreements. More specific details will be available in the
earnings press release scheduled for publication on or about February 12,
2016.

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 would be added to the amount
of royalties paid during the final month of the current fiscal quarter.  Any
overpayment would be deducted from the amount of royalties to be paid in the
first month of the Trust's next fiscal quarter.  The operating companies may
make further adjustments during the quarter based on the recalculation of
royalties payable for prior periods, and the Trust has no means of predicting
such adjustments.

The table below shows an estimate of the amount of royalties anticipated to
be received in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 based on the actual amount
of royalties that were payable to the Trust for the fourth calendar quarter
of 2015.  Amounts in dollars are based on the current exchange rate of
1.090968.   Actual royalty income in dollars is valued based on exchange
rates on the days funds are transferred.  The February estimate below
includes negative adjustments totaling Euros 86,755 for the fourth quarter
of calendar 2015.
