OMOG OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc. Announces Initial Hook-Up and Sales of Three Tennessee Natural Gas Wells
Also Gives Update on Legal Action Against Former Management

HOUSTON, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/22/2005 -- OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc. (OMOG), an oil and gas production company (OTC: OMOG), through its Chairman, Adam Barnett is pleased to announce the successful completion and initial sales from all three of its Gernt natural gas wells drilled with Young Oil Corp. The three wells were tied into the sales line on Friday and Saturday, and according to Young, they began producing at an approximate total of 120,000 cf/day. As the wells "clean up" by production, Young expects the production to increase over the first month and then stabilize. These wells typically show a small decline after a number of months and produce as long as 20 years. OMDA holds a 20% working interest in these wells.

As announced in a prior press release, these wells, as well as similar wells in the field are initially producing from the Monteagle and Ft. Payne zones. While there is a thick section of gas bearing shale in these wells, the cost of doing a full "frac" to commercially produce the shale has not been considered economical in the past. This type of procedure can cost as much as half again the price of drilling and completing the Monteagle and Ft. Payne; however, due to the current prices of natural gas, shale completions are now being done with excellent success in this field. If results from other wells in the field remain favorable, it is likely that one or more of our wells may be selected for a shale "frac" early next year.

Adam Barnett, CEO stated, "While the time from drilling to finally selling the gas from these wells turned out to be considerably longer than originally anticipated, management and consultants feel that the delays were caused by circumstance beyond Young's control. With this in mind and after results from these first three wells are further evaluated, it is my intent to start exercising our 'right of first refusal' allowing OMDA to participate in future gas wells of our choice on Young's 46,000 acres. The economic benefits verses the risks in this gas field are just too good at current prices to ignore."

LEGAL UPDATE

While the company, on advice of counsel, has been under a somewhat self-imposed information gag, events have actually been moving at a relatively fast pace. While many details still cannot be released, a trial date has now been set by the court in Harris County, Houston TX, for April 17, 2006. Counsel has recently stated their opinion that OMDA's case has continued to get stronger as more information is discovered.
