RNS Number:8367L UTEK Corporation 09 November 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 9 November 2006 UTEK CORPORATION TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER TO AVALON OIL AND GAS, INC. Transfer includes licence to a borehole casing technology developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Tampa, FL, Minneapolis, MN & Livermore, CA - UTEK Corporation (AMEX & LSE-AIM: UTK) a specialty finance company focused on technology transfer, and Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc. (OTC BB: AOGS), a company engaged in the acquisition of oil and gas producing properties, have completed a technology transfer in a stock-for-stock transaction. The technology transfer includes a licence for a borehole casing technology developed by researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The technology uses a densely spaced network of sensors which are installed along and outside of the oil well casings before they are grouted into place. The sensors monitor critical parameters in the subsurface oil reservoir. Data from multiple sensors can provide real-time information regarding the status of the reservoir and the primary and secondary oil recovery process. The types of sensors that can be installed include seismic sensors, electrical resistance tomography electrodes, electromagnetic induction tomography coils and thermocouples. "One of our primary goals is to improve oil recovery efficiency for existing resources," said Mr. Kent Rodriguez, Chief Executive Officer of Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc. He added, "We believe this technology potentially accomplishes this by deriving useful information about field production." "We are very enthusiastic about working with Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc. as they help to develop and commercialise our new well casing-based geophysical sensor apparatus, system and method," said Randall Elder, Business Development Executive for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. "UTEK is pleased to consummate this technology transfer with Avalon Oil and Gas, Inc.," said Jennifer Willis, Manager of Technology Licensing at UTEK Corporation. Terms of the transaction Intelli-Well Technologies, Inc., a company established by UTEK specifically for this transaction, has been acquired by Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc., in a tax-free stock-for-stock exchange.

The shares acquired in the exchange are restricted and may only be resold pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The value of the consideration will be determined based on a valuation in accordance with UTEK's valuation policy as of the closing date of the transaction.
