Avalon Oil & Gas Commences Testing Operations in Grant Parish, Louisiana

Thursday February 8, 9:30 am ET

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc., (OTCBB:AOGS - News) and
its partners have commenced field operations designed to provide a measure of
the productive capabilities of this property prior to acquisition.

Initial activities have been performed that included a workover of one of the
wells to lower the bottom hole pump assembly, along with related modification of
the surface components of the pumping unit. This work has been completed, and
fluid was recovered with an oil cut showing signs of improvement, although
mechanical complications have arisen that have limited production from this well
over the last week. These complications have been addressed and this well is
expected to be put back on production late this week.

A second well is currently undergoing workover operations to repair or replace
the existing downhole pump, as well as provide modifications of the existing
surface facilities. A third well has been placed in operation in its current
condition.

Upon completion of the current work on the second and third wells, production is
expected to continue for a number of weeks in order to monitor the oil cut,
total fluid production, and saltwater disposal capabilities of the property.

Avalon owns an undivided twenty five percent (25%) working interest in the
property. A due diligence evaluation is also underway on the property.

Avalon and KROG are continuing their focus on enhancing operating synergies in
the Southwest Arkansas, Northwest Louisiana and East Texas region through
acquisition of other mature production in the area. The area immediately
surrounding these new properties consists mainly of independent producers.
