Forward Looking StatementForward Looking Statement
This presentation contains forward-looking information. Implicit in this information are assumptions regarding oil and natural gas prices,
production, royalties and expenses that, although considered reasonable by Questerre at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. These
forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions that involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future
performance. Actual results could differ materially as a result of changes in Questerre’s plans, changes in commodity prices, general economic, market, regulatory and business conditions as well as production, development and
operating performance and other risks associated with oil and gas operations.
There is no guarantee by Questerre that actual results achieved will be the same as those forecast herein. Estimated values in this presentation do not
represent fair market value.

Economic SensitivityEconomic Sensitivity
• Horizontal wells into Lorraine and Utica have NPV-10% of $6 million based on:
– Initial 30 day rate - 2 mmcf/d– First year Decline – 63%– Recoverable Reserves 2.4 Bcf/well– Capital costs $3 million– Operating Costs $1.00/mcf– $9/mcf NYMEX
• Sensitivity in NPV10 to change in parameters– $1 change in NYMEX = $1.1 million– 100 mcf/d (17 BOE/d) change in initial rates = $0.440 million– $100K change in capital costs = $0.091 million
• Breakeven cases (all other parameters held even)– $3.25 NYMEX– 635 mcf/d (106 BEO/d) initial rate– CAPEX of $9.5 million per well
Pilot ProgramsPilot Programs
Over next 18 months QEC will participate in pilot programs to establish commerciality of unconventional gas in St. Lawrence Lowlands at an estimated cost of $40 million to $50 million net to Questerre with first gas estimated by second half of 2009 and full development in 2010 based on results achieved
Current ActivityCurrent Activity
Talisman Gentilly #1 FRAC
• Talisman program well underway with stimulation of Gentilly #1 and spud of La Visitation well
– Interim results from successful frac of one Utica interval in Gentilly #1 at 800 mcf/d
– La Visitation to be follow up with two more wells expected to be drilled before year-end
• Forest Oil to complete horizontal drilling in Q3 and complete testing in Q4
• Questerre mobilized rig to spud St. Luc exploration well and test shallow Utica shale
Liard Shale PlayLiard Shale Play
• Over 1 Tcf discovered resource potential per square mile for Mississippian age shale/siltstone at Beaver River
• Questerre holds a 50% interest in 35 square miles with take away capacity in place
• Shale is potentially analogous to emerging Horn River shale play to south
• Currently evaluating this potential with recompletion of A-5 well based on expertise acquired in Quebec Mississippian
shale/siltstone
Jean Marie playJean Marie play
• Farm-in with EnCana adds a proven Jean Marie play covering over 140 sq. km – long life reserves leveraged to gas prices
• Questerre drilled two successful wells this winter on production at combined initial rate of 4.0 mmcf/d
• 6-8 locations to be drilled next year based on results from 46 square mile 3-D survey acquired this winter
• 100 gross possible drilling locations with P50 Estimated Ultimate Recovery of 1.2 Bcf per well

Antler – Bakken/Torquay Antler – Bakken/Torquay PlayPlay
Questerre land holdings in SE Saskatchewan
• Twelve successful horizontal wells drilled to date with 1P reserves of up to 90,000 barrels per well
• Six multi-stage fracs carried out with stabilized production over 70 bbls/d
• 50% interest in significant land position – drilling inventory of 112 locations with 3-D and 2-D seismic

• Netback of $80 per barrel based on $100 WTI
Company OutlookCompany Outlook
• St. Lawrence Lowlands, Eastern Canada– Talisman exploration program for the
Trenton Black River underway - three wells scheduled for 2008 - results in early 2009

– Forest Oil to fracture stimulate two pilot production horizontal wells - results in fourth quarter
– Shallow Utica/Trenton Black River well to be operated by Questerre in fall 2008 on St Jean
• Northeast British Columbia– Evaluate results from A-5 recompletion for
Liard shale potential– Six well program anticipated in Greater
Sierra based on interpretation of 3-D seismic acquisition program
• Antler, Saskatchewan– Drill, complete and fracture stimulate nine
additional wells and stimulate two existing wells over second half of 2008
Investment CaseInvestment Case
• Multiple opportunities in Lowlands including recent discoveries• New shale play being tested in Liard basin• Long-life Jean Marie gas in northeast British Columbia• Significant light oil development at Antler in Saskatchewan
Strong portfolio
• Natural gas re-emerging as reliable energy source in North America
• Growing investor interest in shale gas• International demand for natural gas reducing LNG imports in
North America
Evolving Markets
• Past experience founding, financing, and managing successful international and domestic exploration and production companies
• Proven determination and commitment to overcome obstacles to success
• Specific expertise with non conventional reservoirs• Concepts have been validated by partners’ due diligence and
results
Experienced
management
• Large retained interest in potential giant shale resource plays in Lowlands
• Opportunities for other large gas discoveries in Quebec & NE BC• High leverage through partner risk capital and expertise• Incremental growth in lower risk asset base
Large growth
potential with
mitigated risk
