Aztec Announces Newest Drilling Partnership

HOUSTON, June 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aztec Oil & Gas, Inc. (Pink
Sheets:AZGS) announced today that the Company has closed and completed funding
of its newest drilling limited partnership VIII B, with approximately $2 million
dollars. The multi-well partnership, which will focus on oil well drilling in
Texas, is expected to commence drilling immediately. Aztec Oil & Gas, Inc.,
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aztec Energy, LLC, will retain 30% (thirty
percent) ownership and will act as the Managing General Partner. Another
wholly-owned subsidiary, Aztec Drilling & Operating, LLC, will serve as the
Partnership's drilling company and operator.

"Our recent VIII A partnership accomplished four very nice Frio formation wells
and achieved a 100% drilling success rate. The new VIII B partnership will focus
on drilling shallow oil wells in Texas. We anticipate considerably more wells
being drilled in this VIII B partnership, and estimate a high success rate in
this program as well. We believe the timing could not be better for our
investors," stated Waylan R. Johnson, President, Aztec Oil & Gas, Inc.

About Aztec Oil & Gas, Inc.

Aztec is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company focusing
on numerous areas throughout the U.S. Its interests are highly diversified as
exemplified by its participation in two Deep Lake gas wells in Cameron Parish,
Louisiana ranging from 13,600 feet to 14,300 feet in depth relative to its
participation in three shallow gas wells in Oklahoma of which two are
conventional wells, and the third is a horizontal, Coal Bed Methane (CBM) well.

In 2006 Aztec entered the sponsored drilling program industry and undertook
three small, very limited annual drilling partnerships in Appalachia. Drilling
in Appalachia was recommended to Aztec by several broker dealers and a
wholesaler, supposedly, because many broker dealers were familiar with programs
from the area. Aztec intentionally limited its sponsored drilling programs over
the subject three years in order to become fully familiar with the nuances of
the sponsored drilling program industry before expanding to the Company's full
capabilities. In the summer of 2008, due to what it felt was a questionable
outlook for the Appalachian region; Aztec decided to discontinue any natural gas
drilling in Appalachia and announced such publicly at a subsequent TNDDA
conference.

Aztec focused all drilling in 2009 on Texas and adjoining states. In addition to
the initial three, small Appalachian drilling partnerships mentioned above;
Aztec recently sponsored and closed its VIII A partnership which included four
successful Frio formation wells in Texas. The first successful well in that VIII
A partnership was announced on February 27, 2009. The fifth drilling
partnership, VIII B, referenced in the above press release, will also focus on
drilling in Texas with the first well estimated to begin drilling in the next
two weeks. Aztec Energy LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aztec, acts as
Managing General Partner of all drilling partnerships and another wholly-owned
Aztec subsidiary, Aztec Drilling & Operating, LLC, is the turnkey drilling
contractor and operator. Aztec owns a 30% interest in all of its drilling
partnerships. In general clarification of its activities, Aztec sponsors low
risk, development drilling programs which include significant tax benefits, all
of which are sold only through FINRA Registered Broker Dealers to Accredited
Investors. Its drilling programs are very unique and also incorporate a
sophisticated exit strategy for investors.
