CALGARY, Alberta, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Questerre Energy Corporation (“Questerre” or the “Company”) (TSX,OSE:QEC) is providing a clarification to its previously disclosed estimated production following the disposition of its Kakwa Central assets.

The Company’s original press release issued earlier today reported estimated production of approximately 4,500 boe per day after the disposition. This figure was not based on production volumes, but rather on first quarter 2026 sales volumes of approximately 5,300 boe per day, adjusted for the disposition and forecast declines.

First quarter 2026 production is estimated at approximately 6,400 boe per day, which includes volumes under long-term minimum sales contracts. This compares to sales volumes of approximately 5,300 boe per day during the same period. The variance reflects unlifted volumes during the period under these long-term contracts.

Amounts not lifted during the period were invoiced in accordance with these contracts and are recognized as deferred revenue. Such amounts will be settled in the future.

The Company’s revised production estimate following the disposition, including minimum sales commitments, is approximately 5,700 boe per day.

Except as noted above, all other information in the original press release remains unchanged.

Jason D’Silva, Chief Financial Officer of Questerre, commented, “We are clarifying our initial disclosure to reflect production volumes. Our estimated corporate production following the disposition of our Kakwa Central assets is approximately 5,700 boe per day.”

Questerre is an energy technology and innovation company focused on responsibly developing oil and gas resources. The Company holds a significant natural gas discovery in the Quebec Utica shale, widely recognized as one of the most important undeveloped natural gas resources in Eastern Canada. The Company believes society can successfully transition its energy portfolio. With new clean technologies and innovation to responsibly produce and use energy, society can sustain both human progress and the natural environment.

Questerre is a believer that the future success of the energy 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.

Although Questerre believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on them because Questerre can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

Barrel of oil equivalent (“boe”) amounts may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio has been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil and the conversion ratio of one barrel to six thousand cubic feet is based on an energy equivalent conversion method application at the burner tip and does not necessarily represent an economic value equivalent at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
