Ness Energy – Various Updates

 WILLOW PARK, TEXAS, U.S.A./NETANYA, ISRAEL, December 5, 2006/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ness Energy International, Inc. announced today that it is making further fundamental shifts in the scope and nature of its domestic operations, in an attempt to more efficiently pursue its work in Israel.

Domestic Asset Divestiture

As previously announced, Ness Energy has endeavored to divest itself of its domestic oil and gas properties in Texas. This process continues as we examine offers from various entities. Once completed, it is planned that the capital realized from the sale be leveraged to advance our operations in Israel.

As well as oil and gas property divestiture, Ness management has decided that it will also sell the property on which its current offices are located, in Willow Park, Texas. This move is intended to further streamline our domestic operations and continue the process of leveraging the accumulated assets in support of our operations in Israel. Ness President and CEO Sha Stephens remarks, “The sale of our offices and property in Willow Park are a logical progression of our streamlining efforts. Once we have sold our oil and gas properties, we will not require the home office acreage, or the staffing levels, that we once did. Therefore, we are positioning ourselves for this eventuality. We will be moving our offices to nearby Weatherford, Texas as this is where our families and friends are. ” Once the relocation is complete our website will be updated with the new address.

Trading Activity

On November 24, 2006 the Securities Exchange Commission ordered that the trading symbol for Ness Energy International, Inc. be changed from (NESS) to (NESSE). This action is simply a result of our not having filed our Form 10QSB by the required date of November 20, 2006. We anticipate having this form filed shortly, which should result in the symbol being changed back to (NESS). Trading may continue during this temporary change. This is not an indication that we have closed our doors or are no longer viable as a company. It is merely a delay.

Other News

Earlier in 2006 Ness Energy entered into a partnership agreement with EP Energy Ventures, LLP. Under the terms of this agreement Ness was to contribute significant amounts of oil and gas development acreage in South Texas and EP Energy was to contribute the working capital necessary for exploration and development activities in an effort to exploit the sizeable oil and gas reserves believed to be in place on the acreage. To date, EP Energy has not honored the terms of the agreement and has not provided the capital necessary for this exploration and development activity. In fact, EP Energy has taken action in an attempt to wrongfully seize these assets from Ness. Ness Energy is currently pursuing legal action against EP Energy and feels confident that we will prevail in such action. However, this lack of performance on the part of EP Energy has created a significant burden on Ness Energy and continues to cost us, both in terms of legal expenses and delays in our divestiture. Sha Stephens comments, “It is indeed unfortunate that this unscrupulous group has been able to create such grief for Ness Energy and its shareholders. We dealt in good faith and brought tangible assets to the table only to have the financial benefit of those assets tied up by people who did not honor their commitment. However, we believe we are right and that we will succeed in our legal challenge and will ultimately be able to protect these assets and, therefore, the shareholders of Ness Energy.” More information regarding this issue will be released when available.

The Future

“I want all of our shareholders to know, and be comfortable with the fact, that we are continuing on the path to realizing my Dad’s vision. While we are, indeed, changing some of the specifics of our path the ultimate destination remains unchanged. We have encountered our share of obstacles along the way. However, to date, we have overcome them all and are still pressing forward, ever-diligently, toward realizing The Vision. We are here to do GOD’S work. Nothing can stop that…
