Oilexco Announces First Oil From Brenda/Nicol Fields

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(CCNMatthews - June 11, 2007) - Oilexco Incorporated ('Oilexco') (TSX:OIL) (AIM:OIL) and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Oilexco North Sea Limited, announce that production has begun at the Brenda/Nicol
Fields in the UK Central North Sea.

The Company estimates production from the three wells in Brenda and one well in Nicol will average
approximately 30,000 barrels of oil per day during the first full year of production.

'This is a great day for our Company', said Oilexco President and CEO Arthur Millholland. 'This is our first
development in the UK North Sea. I am extremely proud of our people. We have managed this project ourselves
from conception to first oil. We have a lot to be proud about,' added Mr Millholland.

The Company has a 100% working interest in both the Brenda and Nicol Fields located in Block 15/25b and 15/25a
respectively. At Nicol, the Company has a 70% revenue interest which will revert to 100% after 1.25 million
barrels of oil has been recovered from 30% of the Nicol production volumes. Brenda and Nicol were developed
concurrently. Oil from the development is processed at the Balmoral Floating Production Vessel located 8km east
northeast of Brenda in Block 16/21a. Oilexco owns a 7.9% non-operated interest in the Balmoral facility.
