HOUSTON, June 30, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE)
-- Index Oil and Gas Inc. (OTC BB:IXOG.OB

News)
(``Index'' or the ``Company'') today provides
information related to its resale registration statement
(No. 333-137957, ``Resale Registration Statement'').
Upon the filing of its annual report on Form 10-K, the
Company has halted sales under the Resale Registration
Statement. Therefore, at this time, an investor may not
complete a sale of securities by delivery of the
prospectus which is a part of the Resale Registration
Statement.
Under current Rule 144, as promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any investor,
who is not an affiliate of the Company (as that term is
defined under the securities laws) and has not been an
affiliate of the Company for the previous three months,
may sell Securities without restriction if the investor
has beneficially owned the securities for more than one
year. Because all Securities listed in the Resale
Registration Statement for ``Selling Stockholders'' were
purchased more than one year before the date of this
letter, the Company will instruct its transfer agent,
Continental Stock Transfer Company, to allow transfers
by non-affiliate ``Selling Stockholders'' to occur for
the securities under Rule 144. The Company does not
intend to file an updated registration statement
covering the Securities.
Inquiries should be directed to:
