Delta Oil & Gas commences production on third well at Garvin County, Oklahoma

June 16, 2008

Delta Oil and Gas, Inc, (OTC:BB – DOIG) is pleased to announce that it has completed the third well in its three-well drilling program with Ranken Energy Corporation at Garvin County, Oklahoma (the “2007-1 Drilling Program”). The primary objective of this well was the Viola Lime with emphasis on the Trenton and Middle Viola porosity development. The “River #1-28” was drilled to a depth of approximately 4,750 feet and based on initial drill logs, the operator elected to complete the well with the insertion of casing. The River #1-28 is now tied into a local natural gas pipeline and is producing in the range of 400 Mcf of natural gas per day. Delta owns a 20% working interest in this program.

Previously, two wells were drilled as part of the 2007-01 drilling program with the following results:

Hulsey #1-8, The Washington Creek Prospect

Garvin County, Oklahoma: This prospect consisted of re-entering an abandoned well to re-evaluate two sands of the 1st Bromide sands and the top of the Viola lime. This well was drilled and abandoned in 1986 and an analysis of the logs indicates two potentially productive 1st Bromide sands. The 1st Bromide “C” sand at a depth of 4,796 feet has 4 feet of porous sand. Based on 3-D seismic, if the re-entry is productive, the prospect can be fully developed with the drilling of three additional offsetting wells to the south, west and southwest.

The re-entry to which we refer as the “Hulsey #1-8” was successfully completed and is presently producing oil in the range of 10 barrels per day and associated natural gas in the approximate daily amount of 20 Mcf.

Pollock #1-35, The NE Anitoch Prospect

Garvin County, Oklahoma: The purpose of this well was to drill a new well to test a potential oil and gas reservoir in the 1st Bromide “C” sand at a depth of approximately 5,800 feet. This well to which we refer as the “Pollock #1-35” was drilled to total depth but testing revealed no economically viable hydrocarbon showings and as such, the well has been plugged and abandoned.

Forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to time frames, expectations for completion; the analysis of results and the intention to drill. Actual outcomes and the Company's results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause results to differ materially include general factors that affect all companies that explore for oil and gas, such as the uncertainty of the requirements demanded by environmental agencies, the fact that oil and gas extraction and production is risky, the potential that no commercial quantities of gas are found or recoverable, the price of oil and gas, geological problems that prevent us from reaching drilling targets and specific risks such as the Company's ability to raise financing.
