Ness Energy Milestone Production Levels in Domestic Operations; New Leases, and Imminent News Pending Regarding XTO Energy Transaction

WILLOW PARK, TEXAS, U.S.A./NETANYA, ISRAEL:  April 1, 2004 MacReport-FirstCall/ -- Ness Energy International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NESS) announced results from Texas operations have increased gas production to new levels and new leases are being acquired. Additional news also pending regarding XTO Energy transaction.

New Production Levels and New Leases

According to President Sha Stephens, senior Management of Ness Energy, Ness of Texas operations are now at the highest, in terms of commercial production, in Ness history. Though not major by industry standards, Ness of Texas efforts move forward to build the Company with sensible oil and gas production, workovers, and acquisitions supplying commercial production into the pipeline. He stated, "Aggressive leasing by Ness Energy the past few months has put us in the driver's seat of several new prospects, including the opportunity to add billions of cubic feet of gas into our reserve column." Ness, along with its producing wells, continues to acquire lease rights for additional well opportunities.

Ness Energy New Outlook In Full Swing  

Ness Energy took an aggressive posture to build shareholder value and cash flow by implementing its New Outlook in June, 2003, which in part, calls for creation of cash flow domestically to support the realization of the company Vision, to bless Israel and others with a source of oil and gas.

By reworking several Ness existing, but shut in, well bores, Management has now been able to prove up that even a modest amount of  Ness oil and gas acreage has tremendous potential value. Increased gas production and sales, any place on these leases, makes the potential of substantial production greater than ever before, once Ness can fully explore the potential of its portfolio with drilling new infill wells. [Note: "Shut in" wells are existing wells that have been previously capped and "infill" wells are wells done into areas between existing wells which may still contain resources.]

President Sha Stephens explained, "We have only worked on a few of the leases Ness owns, but have seen very good return vs. the dollars spent. If we are able to keep up the investment vs. return pattern we have experienced, Ness projects significant cash flow to help accomplish the task ahead of us, our Israeli Vision, much sooner than expected. Ness has been supplied an independent engineering report which discloses Ness Energy's oil and gas reserves have grown significantly (further news on the report to be issued shortly). Simultaneously, sales have increased creating cash flow to supplement Ness's forward working plan of expansion into new areas of exploration, development and continued growth as a company."

Leases and XTO Energy

The Company is also in the process of adding additional lease interests to its acreage portfolio, building value to the Company with new property interests for future exploration and development activities.

The Company also continues to proceed with the XTO Energy transaction and expects to close shortly with news to be released concerning closing plans as they are finalized.

Additional news concerning these matters with details to be released this week.

About Ness-The Vision

The current business of Ness Energy is development and execution of oil and gas exploration, property acquisition and corporate merger prospects. The Company is primarily pursuing interests in the petroleum rich State of Texas, and also in the Middle East, specifically, Israel. Ness believes that Israel, in particular the southwest end of The Dead Sea, is a place where "Science and The Bible Shake Hands" and that Ness will achieve the vision of the location and recovery of an abundant source of oil and gas in Israel to supply Israel and the Christian communities with supernatural wealth. In the meantime, we continue to build a strong Company on assets, cash flow and deals that make sense.
