Ness Energy Announces Two (2) Re-entry Projects Complete and Production Online

WILLOW PARK, TEXAS, U.S.A./NETANYA, ISRAEL: January 6, 2005 /PR Newswire FirstCall/ -- Ness Energy International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NESS) announced today that its two current re-entry projects in Dewitt County, Texas are now online and selling gas. Work has also begun on re-completing an existing well in Palo Pinto County, Texas.

Dewitt County Re-entries

Ness Energy confirmed today that it is now selling gas from its two re-entry projects in South Texas. These re-entries have been in the re-entry stage for the past few months. President and CEO Sha Stephens says "after delays ranging from record-breaking rainfall in the area to a series of mechanical failures we are happy to announce that the Atoka Gohlke #1 and the Enron Gohlke Deep Gas Unit #1 are online and we are selling gas. The wells have only been flowing for a few days. This makes it difficult to speculate on where the actual flow rates are going to level off. However, things are looking good."

These two wells represent the first completed re-entry projects for Ness in Dewitt County. We are already planning our next project from our growing portfolio of re-entry candidates in the area.  

Palo Pinto County Re-completion

Work has also begun on the re-completion of the D.L. Hart # 3 well in Palo Pinto County, Texas. This project is an existing well that has produced for many years from the shallower Strawn formation, a historically prolific producer in the area. The D.L. Hart #3 well was originally drilled through the Barnett Shale and pipe was set over the zone but never completed due to the fact that at the time the Shale was considered non productive. New fracture and stimulation technologies have been, and are currently being, redefined and developed. These advances make this well an excellent candidate for a re-completion attempt. Our plan is to establish production from the Barnett Shale. The D.L. Hart #3 is the first well in a series of four planned re-completions in the area. These four wells will be re-completed in succession.

More information will be made available as each well is placed online.
