Calgary, Alberta -- Questerre Energy Corporation ("Questerre" or the "Company")
(TSX,OSE:QEC) reported today on the case management conference held earlier this
week in Quebec related to Bill 21, An Act mainly to end petroleum exploration
and production and the public financing of those activities ("Bill 21").

The Attorney General of Quebec's summary motion to dismiss the claims by
Questerre and other license holders was deferred by the appointed Justice until
the hearing on the merits of the case to be scheduled next year. The Justice
also accepted the Government's undertaking to suspend any enforcement actions
until the next hearing tentatively scheduled for the fourth quarter of this
year.

Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive Officer of Questerre, commented,
"We are pursuing a political and business solution in Quebec. We believe our
proposed Scope 3 zero emissions energy hub in Quebec could play a role in
supporting the transition of Quebec's economy to a low emissions future."

He added, "With the largest utility in the province recently recommending
residential and business customers reduce their consumption, the electricity
shortage in the province is becoming more apparent. The stay granted by the
justice allows for an orderly discussion of energy policy in Quebec."

Questerre is an energy technology and innovation company. It is leveraging its
expertise gained through early exposure to low permeability reservoirs to
acquire significant high-quality resources. We believe with emerging technology
we can successfully transform our energy portfolio to be competitive with
alternative energy on an environmental basis. With new clean technologies and
innovation to responsibly produce and use energy, we can sustain both human
progress and our natural environment.

Questerre is a believer that the future success of the oil and gas industry
depends on a balance of economics, environment, and society. We are committed to
being transparent and are respectful that the public must be part of making the
important choices for our energy future.
