FOREST HILLS, NY--(Marketwire - Aug 22, 2012) -  Native American Energy Group, Inc. (OTCQB: NAGP) (PINKSHEETS: NAGP), an independent energy resource development and management company, is pleased to provide an update on the progress of its five well workover and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) program located in the Williston Basin in northeastern Montana. 

NAGP currently operates and holds a 100% working interest in four oil and gas leases covering five oil wells in the Williston Basin. The rework and EOR program on the five wells commenced in August 2011. In the program, the Company leveraged advanced technology to enhance oil recovery on its leases. This technology, known as Single Entry Multi-Lateral Jetting System, or SEMJet^®, has demonstrated its ability to enhance and exploit reservoirs and increase recovery of up to 50% more oil in place reserves from mature properties.

As of December 2011, NAGP had completed the first phase of work on four of its five wells. As a result of the initial EOR operations, the Company collected and sold approximately 1090 barrels from the Wright 5-35 and Beery 2 wells, resulting in gross sales of $92,252 from these two wells alone during the third and fourth quarters of 2011. Total annual oil production for 2011 was 1590, equaling gross annual sales of $136,132. NAGP's oil production was purchased by the Company's oil purchaser, Shell U.S. Trading Company. 

Joseph G. D'Arrigo, President & Chief Executive Officer of Native American Energy Group, stated, "In light of our recent success with restoring normal electronic trading of the Company's common shares which has enabled our stock to be freely traded among shareholders and the investment community, we felt this to be an appropriate time to issue an update on our progress on our field operations in the Williston Basin. Our initial focus during the current quarter will be to establish steady commercial production on the Wright 5-35 and Beery 2-24 wells, given that these wells are near commercial production and also accounted for the majority of our oil sales in 2011."

During August and September, NAGP's field staff and contractors will be completing certain electrical system repairs and upgrades to surface equipment and subsurface flow-lines due to increased well pressures experienced during the well enhancement and pre-production flow-testing process.

D'Arrigo further stated, "Simply put, we must have our wells producing in a reliable manner and capitalize on these assets to enable us to achieve additional financing on favorable terms, thus allowing for further development, acquisitions and the creation of value for our shareholders. We're expecting to commence full production by September 30, 2012 following the completion of all planned repairs and upgrades. Once production commences and flow rates stabilize into steady production, we look forward to providing our shareholders with another production update. We are confident that this coupled with an expectation for higher oil prices will attract NAGP's increased market awareness among individual investors, institutions and analysts."
