Calgary, Alberta - Questerre Energy Corporation
("Questerre" or the "Company") (TSX,OSE:QEC) announced
today that the operator will spud the first horizontal
well targeting the middle Utica in the St. Lawrence
Lowlands this week.

The St. Edouard #1A horizontal well will be situated
adjacent to the St. Edouard #1 vertical well that
tested at 700 mcf/d from the middle Utica interval.
Subject to final results, the well will be fracture
stimulated and production tested. During stimulation,
the existing vertical well will serve as a monitor for
real-time micro-seismic imaging to validate
stimulation effectiveness.

Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Questerre, commented, "The first well in the pilot
horizontal well program is a key milestone towards
commercializing the Utica shale play. We are looking
forward to confirmation from the horizontal wells of
the consistently excellent vertical well test results
from the middle Utica."
