MINNEAPOLIS -- Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc., (Avalon) (OTCBB: AOGN) provided an update on workover operations in the East Chandler Field, Lincoln County, Oklahoma, and reported that the workover of the Grace # 5A Well has been completed. Avalon holds a 23.5% working interest and a 19.3% net revenue interest in the Grace # 5A. The well has been shut-in for the past several months.

"We will have a workover rig on location in the next couple weeks, and expect to complete the workover of the Grace # 1, Grace # 2, Grace # 3 and Grace # 6 wells by March 15, 2009," he added.
