OF AMERICA TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR UNITED STATES PERSONS


Questerre Energy Corporation ("Questerre" or the "Company") (TSX:QEC)(OSLO:QEC)
updated its operated and joint venture activities in the Kakwa-Resthaven area of
Alberta. 


Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Over the
next several weeks, we expect to see the results from five important Montney
wells. The completion of the 16-07 Well in Kakwa South is underway and this
should prove up the condensate rates on our ten-section block. In Kakwa North,
we are currently drilling the horizontal leg of the 14-29 Well and this should
be finished by early August. This 100% well directly offsets our JV acreage and,
once completed, we believe it will confirm the potential of this seven section
block."


Commenting on the joint venture acreage, he added, "We have also started the
completion of three Montney wells with horizontal legs of one and half miles.
These wells could materially improve the economics of this play with increased
recovery at a lower relative cost. We expect that the majority of our future
wells will have similar lateral lengths."


The Company reported that completion operations have commenced this week on the
16-07-62-5W6M (the "16-07 Well"). The planned completion for the 16-07 Well will
include a ten stage slick water fracture stimulation in the approximate 1000m
horizontal leg. Questerre holds a 100% working interest in this well and ten
sections of land situated approximately six miles south of its producing
acreage. 


Questerre also reported that drilling of the horizontal leg is underway on the
14-29-63-6W6M well (the "14-29 Well"). Approximately 400m remain of a planned
2000m horizontal leg targeting a total measured depth of 5900m. The Company
holds a 100% interest in the 14-29 Well and seven sections of acreage adjacent
to its producing joint venture acreage.


The Company also updated activities on its joint venture acreage. The operator
has begun the completion of three wells drilled from one pad. Each of these has
a lateral leg of approximately one and a half miles. These include the
09-20-63-5W6M well (the "09-20 Well"), the 02-18-63-5W6M well (the "02-18 Well")
and the 08-20-63-5W6M (the "08-20 Well"). The surface location is situation on
the existing gathering system and the wells will be equipped and tied-in once
completion and testing is finished. Drilling operations are also underway on two
additional wells, the 04-19-63-5W6M well ("04-19 Well"), less than one mile away
from the multi-well pad and the 01-14-63-6W6M well (the "01-14 Well"), about two
miles away from the pad.


Questerre is leveraging its expertise gained through early exposure to shale and
other non-conventional reservoirs. The Company has base production and reserves
in the tight oil Bakken/Torquay of southeast Saskatchewan. It is bringing on
production from its lands in the heart of the high-liquids Montney shale
fairway. It is a leader on social license to operate issues for its Utica shale
gas discovery in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, Quebec. In conjunction with a
supermajor, it is at the leading edge of commercializing a proven process to
unlock the massive resource potential of oil shale.


Questerre is a believer that the future success of the oil and gas industry
depends on a balance of economics, environment and society. We are committed to
being transparent and are respectful that the public must be part of making the
important choices for our energy future.
