Ness Energy Commences First Oil and Gas Project in Israel; Equipment and Personnel on Site

WILLOW PARK, TEXAS, U.S.A./NETANYA, ISRAEL:  March 3, 2004, /MacReport-FirstCall/ -- Ness Energy International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NESS) announced the first Israeli oil and gas well project in Israel is underway. The Ness Energy company owned drilling/workover rig, all of its components and support personnel, are on location in Israel, and work has begun on the Gurim #4. Ness efforts in Israel have now moved from the planning and preparation stages to actual in-the-field oil and gas exploration.

RIG ON LOCATION, GURIM #4

Sunday the 29th of February not only was a landmark day, but a very busy day for Ness Energy International and its personnel in Israel. As the sun was coming up on Sunday, which is the first day of the work week in Israel, crews were loading equipment on trucks and making sure all components for the work over rig were in place and tied down. The convoy of equipment and crew left from Ashdod, where the rig had been stored and refurbished, and departed toward Arad to the Gurim #4 location.  The moving of equipment, which was to have taken place one week earlier, was delayed from the target date while the crew waited on parts for the rig that could only come out of the United States. Once the parts were received, they were installed on the rig. When everything checked out to be working properly, they moved toward the southwest end of The Dead Sea, to Arad.

Sha Stephens, President of Ness Energy International said, "This is truly a mile stone for Ness Energy International. Even though Ness Energy has been partners in oil and gas ventures in the past, NOW, a first in the history of the company, Ness Energy is in charge of and conducting its own oil and gas operations in Israel.  NOW, as a result of our recent purchase of the drilling and work over equipment, along with the acquisition of LaHava Oil & Gas Ltd., we are able to pursue this type of project and move Ness out of the past and into the future. As far as most oil and gas deals go, the workover of this well does not amount to a sizeable venture, but for Ness Energy International, Inc. it is symbolically the biggest thing to date that the company has experienced. With this rework, or test, which Ness is undertaking, several things are accomplished.  First off, Ness is able to rub elbows and meet various players in the energy service industry in Israel. Also, we get to experience and gain first hand knowledge of the inner-working of the industry and its politics."
