  AUSTIN, TX, Nov 09 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
United States Oil & Gas Corporation (PINKSHEETS: USOG), a growing oil and
gas products, services and technology company, reaffirmed today that it
remains on-track with its preliminary agreement to acquire a North
Dakota-based oil and gas distributor of refined fuels and other oil-based
products. The company is pleased to report that it has increased its
residential propane business customer base by 30% year-to-date through
October 31, 2009. Compared to the same period last year, sales grew by
over 94,000 gallons along with a material amount of backlog of new
customer orders.

    With a customer base less impacted by the residential mortgage crisis that
has affected many other parts of the country, demand for fuels has
remained relatively steady. Located in the northern central portion of
North Dakota, the target is a profitable oil and gas distribution company
which sells diesel, race gasoline, propane, and lubricants to regional
businesses, farms, and private residences.

    Revenue at the target company is expected to total $8 million for the year
ending December 31, 2009, with steady growth moving forward. Revenue for
2008 totaled $7 million, to date, the company's best on record.

    The company owns a bulk storage plant, a fleet of tanker trucks, and a
retail outlet. Management has over 30 years experience in the industry,
and as outlined in the initial agreement, will be contracted to remain
with the business for a minimum of three years.

    The acquisition is expected to be finalized by year's end, subject to
completing due diligence and negotiating for financing. USOG will keep the
market fully updated on this acquisition as well as others it is currently
working on closing.
