Calgary, Alberta -- Questerre Energy Corporation 
("Questerre" or the "Company") (TSX,OSE:QEC) reported 
today that the Ministry of Sustainable Development, 
Environment and Parks in Québec ("MDDEP") has 
announced draft regulations for activities during the 
strategic environmental assessment of shale gas in 
the province.

Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive 
Officer of Questerre, commented, "These new 
regulations promoting communication and transparency 
validate our public relations efforts in Québec over 
the last year. From publishing fact sheets to 
conducting town hall meetings, we have been a leader 
in informing the public about our operations well 
before the BAPE report was published. In principle we 
are fully supportive of Government's efforts to learn 
how shale gas can be developed sustainably for the 
benefit of all stakeholders in Québec."

The proposed regulations require operators to inform 
and consult the public prior to commencing 
operations. Consistent with the recommendations from 
the BAPE report, to increase the understanding of 
shale gas in the province, MDDEP may have 
representatives participate in observing the drilling 
and completion operations. Operators will also be 
required to provide MDDEP with technical information 
including:

·Drilling and completion methods and technology;
·Water management programs for drilling and 
completion operations including flowback analysis;
·Proposed completion fluid composition and volumes; 
and
·Sampling water wells within a one kilometer radius 
of the proposed operations.

The press release from MDDEP can be found online:

In conjunction with its partners and the Québec Oil 
and Gas Association, Questerre will evaluate the 
detailed regulations when published to determine its 
potential impact.

company focused on shale projects. The Company is 
leveraging its expertise to commercialize projects 
like its Utica shale gas discovery in the St. 
Lawrence Lowlands, Québec. Questerre is committed to 
the economic development of its resources in an
