June 25, 2009 - St. Edouard#1 tested gas in TBR; preparing to test shale intervals

Calgary, Alberta - Questerre Energy Corporation 
("Questerre" or the "Company") (TSX,OSE:QEC) reported 
today that testing will commence shortly on multiple 
shale intervals for the St. Edouard #1 well in the 
St. Lawrence Lowlands, Quebec. This follows a recent 
open-hole test of the deeper Trenton Black-River 
("TBR") interval in this well.

Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive 
Officer of Questerre, commented, "With the 
significant natural fracturing and over-pressured 
intervals encountered while drilling, we look forward 
to the stimulation and testing of the shales in St. 
Edouard #1. This well offsets the Leclercville #1 
well that recently tested 900 mcf/d on a stabilized 
basis from the Utica."

Testing of multiple intervals in the upper shale 
sequences will begin this summer once equipment and 
personnel are mobilized. 

The TBR carbonate interval was acid stimulated and 
the well flowed sweet natural gas over a three-day 
test period with a final rate of 2.2 mmcf/d and 
wellhead pressure of 2000 psi (14 Mpa) on a 7/32 inch 
(5.6 mm) choke. No water was produced on this test. 
The well is currently shut-in for buildup and further 
testing. Based on an initial review of the pressure 
data, the Company anticipates the TBR zone in this 
well will not support the tie-in costs to the 
distribution system on a stand-alone basis.

Mr. Binnion further added, "The natural fracturing 
contributed to strong initial flow rates from the 
TBR. More importantly, the cuttings indicate altered 
limestone that confirms the potential for the TBR 
exploration model. While we do not expect to tie-in 
this well, we believe the TBR remains a valid 
exploration target and plan to test additional 
prospects with future wells."
