                 NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
           THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2013


Red Bank, N.J.  April 29, 2013   The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty
Trust (NYSE-NRT) today announced a quarterly distribution of $0.64 per unit
for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, payable on May 29, 2013 to holders of
record on May 17, 2013.  Natural gas sold during the first calendar quarter
of 2013 is the primary source of royalty income on which the May 2013
distribution is based.  John R. Van Kirk, Managing Director, reported that
this year's quarterly distribution of $0.64 per unit is 5.88%, or $0.04 per
unit, lower than the distribution of $0.68 per unit for the second quarter of
fiscal 2012.  No details on sales or production have yet been received from
the operating companies.  Specific details will be available in the earnings
press release scheduled for release on or about May 14, 2013.

Trust royalty payments for each fiscal quarter are based on actual royalties
payable for the preceding calendar quarter.  In the final month of the
Trust's fiscal quarter, the operating companies determine the actual amount
of royalties that should have been paid to the Trust and compare this amount
to the amount actually paid.  Any underpayment would be added to the amount
of royalties paid during the final month of the current fiscal quarter.
Any overpayment would be deducted from the amount of royalties to be paid in
the first month of the Trust's next fiscal quarter.  In the quarter just
ending, the overpayment of Euros 590,834 will be deducted from royalties
anticipated to be received in May 2013.

The table below shows the amount of royalties anticipated to be received
during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 based on the actual amount of
royalties that were paid to the Trust for the first calendar quarter of 2013.
Amounts in dollars are based on the current exchange rate of 1.3087.  Actual
royalty income in dollars is valued based on exchange rates on the day funds
are transferred.
