<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>DALLAS, Texas, November&nbsp;18, 2015</B> &#150; Marine Petroleum Trust (NASDAQ: MARPS) (&#147;Marine&#148;) today declared a quarterly
cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.066479 per unit, payable on December&nbsp;28, 2015, to unitholders of record on November&nbsp;30, 2015. Marine&#146;s cash distribution history, current and prior year
financial reports, a link to filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and more can be found on its website at <B><U>http://www.marps-marine.com/</U></B>. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This distribution of $0.066479 per unit is lower than the $0.111958 per unit distributed last quarter. As compared to the previous quarter,
the prices for both oil and natural gas and the volumes of both oil and natural gas produced and included in the current distribution decreased from the previous quarter. This distribution is lower than the $0.291959 per unit distributed in the
comparable quarter in 2014. As compared to the comparable quarter in 2014, the prices for both oil and natural gas and the volumes of both oil and natural gas produced and included in the current distribution decreased from the comparable quarter in
2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Marine&#146;s distributions to unitholders are determined by royalties received up to the date the distribution amount is declared.
In general, Marine receives royalties two months after oil production and three months after natural gas production. </P>
