Deutsche Rohstoff: Elster Oil & Gas publishes production data from six
additional horizontal wells
2.700 Barrel Oil Equivalent per day during first month of production

Heidelberg/Denver. Elster Oil & Gas, a 93% subsidiary of Deutsche Rohstoff,
announced the production rates from 6 new horizontal wells that commenced
production end of July. All wells combined produced an average of 2.700
barrel oil equivalent (boe) per day during the first 30 days of production
(IP 30). Elster's working interest averages at 50%, equivalent to 1.350 net
BOE per day.

Production rates of the new wells are generally in line with expectations
with oil production being above expectations. The new wells are all
Niobrara wells whereas four of the first five wells drilled in 2015 were
Codell wells. Typically, wells from both formations roughly produce the
same amount of oil and gas over the lifetime of the well. However, Codell
wells in this part of the field tend to produce very strong rates at the
beginning with steeper declines after the first months of production.

Thomas Gutschlag, CEO of Deutsche Rohstoff, said:"The initial production
results are very positive. The wells deliver constant rates in line with
expectations or better. The second set of wells drilled since 2015 do again
confirm the excellent predictability of the development in Colorado."

Elster will receive income from mineral rights (royalties) for the first
time over the coming months. These royalties belong to Elster's 100%
subsidiary Diamond Valley LLC, where the lease owner has recently drilled
nine horizontal wells. These wells commenced production in July. As a
mineral owner, Elster did not have to finance the drilling nor does it have
to fund the ongoing operations.
