February 23, 2010 - Utica well tests at 12 MMcf/d

Calgary, Alberta -- Questerre Energy Corporation
("Questerre" or the "Company") (TSX,OSE:QEC) is
pleased to report on the test results from the St.
Edouard No. 1A horizontal well in the St. Lawrence
Lowlands, Quebec.

The horizontal well was successfully completed with 8
stage fracture stimulations. Clean-up and flow back
commenced January 29, 2010. Initial rates were over 12
MMcf/d. During the test, the well flowed natural gas
at an average rate of over 6 MMcf/d.

The well is currently still flowing on an extended
production test. The current rate is approximately 5
MMcf/d at a flowing tubing pressure of 4412 kPa (640
psi) with a choke size of 5/8 inch.

Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Questerre, commented, "This first horizontal result
is simply excellent!"

During the completion, microseismic data was gathered
using the St. Edouard No. 1 vertical well as a
monitoring well. Preliminary analysis indicates the
fracs were successful in stimulating sufficient rock
volume in the entire Utica sequence.

Mr. Binnion added, "The initial rates from St. Edouard
exceed our internal threshold for commercial
production on a per well basis based on targeted
development costs."

The Company and the operator are evaluating pipeline
options to tie-in the St. Edouard location.
