1. 1 KWK : NYSE IPAA Conference April 20, 2004

2. 2 The Company  Focus on unconventional gas reserves (fractured shales, coal beds and tight sands)  Develop shallow low-cost and low-risk gas reserves (“Gas Farming”)  Primary focus areas are unconventional gas reservoirs in Michigan, Indiana, Texas and Canada.  During the past five years earnings, cash flow and production have all increased substantially. In addition, reserves have grown by over 235% with the gas portion increasing by more than 420%.

3. 3 Financial Metrics 2002 - 2003 1999-2003 Per Share Data  Even though the average number of dilutive shares has grown by 12% over the past year, per share metrics for income andcash flow have increased. In addition, the balance sheet has continued to improve as evidenced by various leverage measures.

8. 8 Texas - Barnett Shale  Largest gas field in Texas producing over 830 MMcf/d  Huge Resource Target - 150 Bcf per section  Company currently has about 110,000 net acres  2004 Objective – Prove shale potential on Quicksilver holdings. BARNETT SHALE ELLENBURGER Viola

9. 9 Barnett Shale Fairway  Historical producing fairway expanding due to horizontal drilling and new fracture stimulation methods  Initial 8 horizontal wells drilled outside of core area average between 300-800 Mcf/d  The 5 most recent horizontal wells are producing between 1,500-3,500 Mcf/d

10. 10 Canada – Coal Bed Methane  Quicksilver has CBM drilling rights on approximately 525,000 net acres (95% operated).  200+ wells drilled on CBM projects to date – defining a large productive fairway  Typical CBM wells will average 140 Mcf/d with negligible water and 450 MMcf of reserves  Proved CBM reserves at 12-31-03 of 132 Bcf.

13. 13 2004 Plan Highlights  Capital Budget: $160,000,000  Drill 400 net wells (285 in Canadian CBM)  Production and reserves to grow by the drill bit in excess of 15%

14. 14 Summary  Solid asset base of long lived natural gas reserves.  Established business model built on exploitation of unconventional gas reservoirs.  Positioned for significant growth in multiple basins.

15. 15 This presentation contains forward looking statements that are based on assumptions and estimates that we believe to be reasonable. Any such statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to risk factors discussed in the Company’s most recent SEC filing. The expectation that future drilling activity, pipeline and gathering construction, economic results, or capital expenditures will occur depends on future events that are inherently uncertain, including without limitation, commodity prices and demand for natural gas, results of exploration activities, production levels, cost and availability of capital, cost of operations, availability of equipment and personnel, and timing and outcome of projects results.
