1 CorporatePresentation June 2005 Questerre Energy Corporation

2 Portfolio Overview Growth in four producing areas in British Columbia and Alberta underpins company cash flow and market value Several high impact wells in Canadian frontier assets with upside potential to achieve 20,000 boe per day by 2010 Risk reduction strategy through selective partnerships

3 Projects Central Alberta St. Lawrence Lowlands Beaver River Southern Alberta Southern and Central Alberta – plays prospective for multiple horizons – small production but low cost with high net backs of $25 - $30 per barrel Beaver River Field Shallow Zone, British Columbia – multiple sands tested but never produced - lower cost and easier to put on production Beaver River Field Deep Zone, British Columbia – discovered gas reservoir with potential recoverable reserves between 20 – 90 million boe St. Lawrence Lowlands, Quebec - 85% interest in 287,915 hectares (1,100 sections) – proven play with drillable prospects with over 35 million boe (200 bcf) in potential reserves each

4 Excellent Market Conditions Canada is #1 supplier of oil and gas to US North American pipeline network allows Canada to receive US pricing Canadian production has exceeded new discoveries for several years Strong demand and limited supply leads to high prices Reserves in Canada are some of the highest value in the world – production sold at an average price of $45,000 per producing boe in 2004

5 Management & Directors Management has extensive experience in large scale international E&P projects, unconventional reservoirs and conventional Alberta production Management and Directors have invested approximately C$12 million and own 26% of the Company Clay Riddell, Chairman and controlling shareholder of Paramount Oil & Gas Ltd, one of the large independent E&P companies in Canada, owns 7% of the Company

6 Why Secondary Listing on Oslo Bors Investors in Norway are well versed with energy sector – Particular understanding of high impact exploration and development projects Limited number of exploration and production companies on Oslo Bors –Window on the junior markets in Canada for retail and institutional investors Oslo Bors is one of the most liquid and cost effective markets in Europe Oslo Bors has been actively marketing itself as “energy stock exchange” Provide liquidity for existing Norwegian investors, currently holding 39% of Questerre common shares (excluding insiders)

7 Alberta, Canada

8 Alberta Central Alberta Westlock Southern Alberta Parkland Southern Alberta Vulcan

9 Illustrative Production Profile Existing corporate production of 130 boe per day First quarter drilling tested at 170 boe per day Participating in seven wells this summer Multiple follow-on drilling locations identified on Company lands Guidance of 500 boe per day by year end; 1,000 by 2006

10 Parkland Area Plays well defined by a 3-D seismic survey covering over 64 square kilometers Primary plays are prospective for 0.2 – 0.8 million boe (1-5 Bcf) per well Questerre currently holds a 50% interest in 960 hectares sections of land Discovery well tested, to be re- stimulated this summer Total well costs of approx. $1 million dry and abandoned

11 Vulcan Area Questerre currently holds a 50% interest in 1,280 hectares Total well costs approximately $0.65 million dry & abandoned Two discovery wells drilled and tested to date Follow up locations to be pursued Farm-in agreements made on 1,536 hectares

12 Westlock Area Acquired 30% interest in 3,328 hectares of land plus production Successful gas well to be tested in Q2 One 100% well and two 30% wells to be drilled this summer Several undrilled locations

13 New Project Acquisition Criteria Purchase price of NPV 10% based on proved producing reserves Bias toward natural gas Multi horizon potential Undrilled land holdings Proximity to pipeline and under utilized processing facilities

14 Beaver River Field British Columbia

15 Beaver River Field Gas in 6 to 10 shallow sands tested by Amoco but too small to produce in 1970’s Re-processed 3D seismic mapping shows potential for significant gas reserves volumetrically Deeper horizon with over 1.2 Tcf OGIP; remaining recoverable gas estimated at 20 – 90 million boe Infrastructure and pipeline in place Farmout agreement for 4 wells and 2 option wells

16 Farmout Agreement Transeuro Energy acquired the option to earn in the Beaver River Field for C$30.3 million Transeuro will fund and operate the drilling program utilizing modern completion techniques Initial phase will focus on shallow Mattson sands – four re-entries estimated at C$10 million by Transeuro Second phase will involve two option wells – one for new Mattson sand and one for new compartment in Nahanni estimated at C$20 million by Questerre Upon completion of entire program, Transeuro will have paid C$60 million to earn a 50% in the Mattson and Nahanni Questerre will retain the remaining 50% interest in the Field Independent reserve report has NPV-10 of over C$100 million for Questerre’s interest

17 Field Potential Proposed c-74-K Mattson – 40-67 Bcf Nahanni - 20 Bcf Mattson 9-18 Bcf 1.5 Bcf 1-2 Bcf Mattson 25-68 Bcf 6-10 Bcf 4-8 Bcf Nahanni -35 Bcf Reserve estimates only for scoping purposes Mattson 2-4 Bcf 8-14 Bcf

18 Mattson Potential 6-10 sandstone zones tested by Amoco in 1970s but not produced 10 locations identified based on well test data correlated to seismic mapping 0.4 million boe (2.4 bcf) in probable reserves assigned to a single zone in a single well Questerre to retain 50% interest through 5 well drilling program

19 Nahanni Potential 6 new compartment locations identified on reprocessed 3-D seismic survey 3 infill locations based on coning 20 million boe (120 bcf) in possible reserves 90 million boe (540 bcf) in resource potential Questerre to retain 50% interest through 1 option well

20 St. Lawrence Lowlands Quebec

21 Large land position of over 700,000 acres in centre of basin Primary play is analogous to Appalachian Basin with reserves of approx. 10 Bcf per well Talisman currently producing 18,000 boe per day from analogous play across border in New York Over 40 potential drilling locations identified on extensive seismic database Quebec St. Lawrence Lowlands New York Numerous Talisman discoveries with test rates of 12 to 30 mmcf/d

22 Technical Overview Hydrothermally dolomitized reservoir Primary zone is Trenton-Black River at 1,900 to 2,200 meters Extensive seismic database over 3,000 km Regional mapping of fault trends Waveform analysis of porosity anomalies shows dozens of drillable anomalies

23 Excellent Fiscal Terms Drilling costs per well: $3.5 million (single well) $2.5 million (multi well program) Equip & Tie-in per well:$0.5 million Initial Tie-in:$2.5 million Pricing per mcf:$7.50 (AECO + $1.00 in summer) $8.50 (AECO + $2.00 in winter) Royalties:12.50% Trans & Process per mcf:$0.40 Lease rentals per hectare:$0.10 Term:8 years remaining on 10 year term

24 New High Impact Project Criteria Ability to leverage expertise in unconventional reservoirs Control of play available through large land position Proximity to infrastructure Ability to add value by high grading prospects for farmout Scalable with low initial investment Significant technical data available

25 Corporate Overview

26 Restructuring Questerre believes that its major well at the Beaver River Field in 2004 missed the targeted structure due to seismic processing errors Questerre believes that the seismic processing company neglected to follow its own prescribed processing sequences, resulting in errors in the processing Questerre is seeking C$28 million to recover costs 97% of creditors supported a financial restructuring successfully completed in fall 2004 Assets and tax pools preserved intact 2005 prudent business plan in a stable Canadian economic environment combines: –High impact onshore frontier projects –Low cost, high value conventional drilling and production
