Ness Energy Continues to Advance, Both Domestically and Internationally

WILLOW PARK, TEXAS, U.S.A./NETANYA, ISRAEL: October 21, 2004 /PR Newswire-FirstCall/ -- Ness Energy International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NESS) today announced progress on all fronts of operations, domestically and internationally, with current projects nearing completion while others begin.

Domestic Operations

The final steps are being taken to sell gas into the market on the Atoka Energy Gohlke #1 and the Enron Oil and Gas Gohlke Deep Gas Unit #1. Gas contracts are in place and equipment and pipelines needed for the transportation of product from these wells is 90% in place. Both of these wells are completed in the Wilcox formation at approximately 10,000 feet. The Wilcox is a formation known for its outstanding production, big reserves (product in place) and long life of production. Sha Stephens, CEO and President of Ness Energy International, Inc. says, "We are excited about the initial test results we have witnessed from both of these wells. The Deep Gas Unit is ready to go on production as is, however the Atoka well needs a light frac, which is scheduled for Saturday, the 30th of October. The well is a good producer as is, but after the frac, we believe the good will be great." It is anticipated that the combined production of the two wells will be in excess of 2mmcfd (two million cubic feet of gas a day). At todays prices this equates to over $11,000.00 (eleven thousand dollars) per day. Ness Energy is in the process of acquiring 4 more well bores in south Texas that meet their criteria for potentially successful re-entry candidates.

Ness Energy is also in the process of raising Joint Venture capital to deepen some of its wells in Palo Pinto County in North-Central Texas. Ness is keying off of a well that was deepened into the Barnett Shale just to the east of a lease currently owned by Ness. This well initially produced 175mcfg and 100 bbl oil per day. Ness has been told by reliable partners that, after several months of production, the well continues to produce at these levels. President and CEO Sha Stephens comments, "with no more capital than it takes to deepen a well in this area to the Barnett, and after seeing results like this not even 2500 feet from our lease, it only makes sense to attempt the same thing." On this lease alone, Ness has four candidates for deepening to the Barnett Shale. The first attempt, the D.L. Hart #1, is scheduled to take place the last week of November due to the busy status of rigs in the area.

International Operations

Ness Energy continues to move forward in Israel after its acquisition of the management company for Modi'in Ltd., a publicly traded oil and gas company that trades on the Tel Aviv exchange. Under the name Modi'in Ltd., Ness Energy has filed for two new petroleum licenses in Israel in an effort to move forward and grow Modi'in to a respectable position in the Israeli oil and gas community. "This is another step by Ness toward establishing itself as a legitimate operator in the country and enabling Ness to, we believe, discover oil for the country of Israel, thus fulfilling the vision of the company and the dreams of my dad." Sha Stephens quoted. Acquiring the new acreage gives Ness a position it is desiring to have for when the time comes to drill the deep well that was spoken of so often by Hayseed Stephens, founder of Ness Energy International. Ness also plans to call a meeting of the Modi'in shareholders in the very near future to discuss the plans for the company and immediate goals it plans to pursue.
