                         ROC OIL COMPANY LIMITED ('ROC')

                             STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE

                   SUMMARY OF CHANGE OF DIRECTORS' INTERESTS


Consistent with ASX Listing Rule 3.19 A.2, ROC has today provided Appendix 3Y
forms to ASX Limited detailing the change of individual Directors' interests in
the Company as a result of the recent Rights Issue. For convenience and clarity,
the key changes are summarised in narrative form below.

  • ROC's four Australian-based Directors, Andrew Love, William Jephcott,
    Ross Dobinson and John Doran increased their total shareholding in the
    Company by approximately 1 million shares. This represents an investment of
    about $2.8 million, of which approximately $2 million represents fresh
    capital over and above the reinvestment of 100% of the proceeds received
    from the partial sale of Messrs Love and Jephcott and Dr Doran's
    entitlements through the Rights Issue.


  • Subsequent to the Rights Issue, ROC's Chief Executive Officer, John
    Doran and entities in which he has an interest, own 4,850,001 fully paid
    shares, an increase of 350,001 shares compared to the number of shares held
    prior to the Rights Issue and an increase of 101,291 shares compared to when
    ROC was floated on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1999.
