OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc. Announces Commercial Completion of Second Tennessee Natural Gas Well

Houston--(BUSINESS WIRE)—October 5, 2005

OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc. (OTC.PK:OMOG), an oil and gas production company, through its Chairman, Adam Barnett, announces an update on its Young Oil Project. The operator has informed the company that the Gernt Estates number 16, the second of three recently drilled wells, has been tested and dually completed in the Fort Payne and Monteagle formations. These are the traditional zones in the area. As with the Gernt number 15 announced last week, this well is also being stubbed into the transport line and is expected to begin production by the end of this week. This well, unlike the Gernt number 15, is wet with oil mist. This oil mist indicates that conventional open flow testing would not give meaningful results. This well; however, does have considerably more shut-in pressure than the number 15 well. It also possesses similar thickness to the Monteagle and Fort Payne formations. The number 16 re-pressurizes faster than the number 15; therefore Young is confident that it will exceed initial recovery rates of the number 15 after the well is cleaned-up and in production for a few weeks. For the sake of clarity, the company states that the oil in this well is only a small mist. This is of little concern, due the fact that this is a natural gas well and not an oil well. OMDA expects to be able to announce the actual production levels from this well after it has flowed for a few weeks.

A short video of this well can be viewed on the company's website at http://www.omogoil.com/investori.html . You may view this video by clicking on the ``Young Oil Venture Video'' link.

As in the case of the number 15 well, engineering reports estimate ultimate recoverable reserves of 250 million cf from each well. Natural gas wells in this area tend to be very long lived with some producing over 20 years. If the well just maintains this level and does not show an increase, OMOG should receive its initial investment back on its 20% interest (15% net) in approximately eight months with an additional five to seven times return on investment over the life of the well. These estimates are based on current natural gas prices.

As mentioned in our Sept. 30th announcement, this is the second of three gas wells. All three have now been drilled to total depth in this initial program with Young. This well contains a large section of natural gas bearing shale. As mentioned in the number 15 release, completions in the shale require a more aggressive ``fracing'' technique. This technique carries an additional cost beyond the original ``turnkey'' arrangement. Young and others have only recently begun experimenting with shale completions in other area wells, but they have reported very encouraging preliminary results. Due to the large thickness of the shale, it is very likely that a completion attempt will be made on this well; however, no firm decision has been made at this time. The last of the three wells is set for acidizing this week and should be tested next week. Results will be announced as soon as they are available.

Adam Barnett, Chairman, stated, ``I am happy to see that we are now getting such favorable results from our Young Oil project. This is truly an exciting time in the history of OMDA, especially with natural gas prices continuing to rise. I am most pleased with these well's prospective rate of production. With just one well having the ability to cover our initial investment, I feel that the Young Oil Project holds vast potential for our company and our shareholders. I am anxious for the well to be connected to the transport line and to begin production this week. I believe this will signify OMDA's transformation from just a holding company with land-leases to a company with viable producing wells. It has been a long haul for our shareholders with many frustrating delays and I appreciate their patience. I am eager to share all updates with our investors and will continue to announce them through press releases and our weekly newsletters.''
