              AVIVA ANNOUNCES RESUMPTION OF COLOMBIAN PRODUCTION

DALLAS, TEXAS, October 23, 2000 . . . .Aviva Petroleum Inc. (OTC BB -
"AVVPP.OB") reported today on the status of production activities in
Colombia. 
 
The Company reported on October 16th that the Trans-Andean pipeline, through
which the Company's oil production is transported, had been rendered
inoperable by recent attacks from leftist guerrillas operating in the
southern provinces of Colombia. Repairs have now been made and, as a result,
the Company's field production has recommenced and oil sales have resumed. 
 
Continuing guerrilla attacks are part of wide-spread political unrest and
fighting affecting the southern regions of Colombia following the approval of
"Plan Colombia", a $7.5 billion plan to eradicate coca cultivation and
stimulate a legitimate economy. As a result of the political unrest in this
area, the Company cannot predict that the Trans-Andean pipeline will continue
to be operational or if the Company's oil sales will again be interrupted. 
 
Through its 22.1196% limited partnership interest in Argosy Energy
International, the Company has a 6.1935% revenue interest in gross production
from four fields which, prior to the attacks, were producing approximately
2,600 - 2,700 barrels of oil per day, and are now back at this level. 
 
Aviva Petroleum is engaged in the exploration for and the development and
production of oil and gas in Colombia, offshore the United States and in
Papua New Guinea.
