Resumption of Production

Resumption of Production at West Firsby

The Directors of Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc are pleased to announce that
production has re-started at its West Firsby Field following the fire on the
22nd June, which shut down production from both wells. Production re-started
yesterday at the WF-7 well, utilising existing pump capacity at the site.

Paul Barrett, Managing Director of Europa, said, "This is excellent news and is
testament to the skills of our East Midlands team in re-engineering the site
and bringing production back on quickly at a time of relatively strong oil
price. We look forward to a complete recovery of production in due course."
