Exhibit 99
                                                                PR NEWSWIRE

                 NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES
           THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2016

Red Bank, N.J.  April 28, 2016   The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty
Trust (NYSE-NRT) today announced a quarterly distribution of $0.24 per unit
for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, payable on May 25, 2016 to holders of
record on May 13, 2016.  Natural gas sold during the first calendar quarter
of 2016 is the primary source of royalty income on which the May 2016
distribution is based.  John R. Van Kirk, Managing Director, reported that
this year's quarterly distribution of $0.24 per unit is 27.27%, or $0.09 per
unit, lower than the distribution of $0.33 per unit for the second quarter of
fiscal 2015.  Specific details will be available in the earnings press
release scheduled for publication on or about May 13, 2016.

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.  The operating companies may
make further adjustments during the quarter based on the recalculation of
royalties payable for prior periods, and the Trust has no means of predicting
such adjustments.

The table below shows an estimate of the amount of royalties anticipated to
be received in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 based on the actual amount of
royalties that were paid to the Trust for the first calendar quarter of 2016.
Amounts in dollars are based on the current exchange rate of 1.132758.
Actual royalty income in dollars is valued based on exchange rates on the day
funds are transferred.  The May estimate below includes negative adjustments
totaling Euros 360,768 for the first quarter of calendar 2016.
