PetroQuest Resources, Inc. Announces Planned Acquisition of 15 Gas and Oil Wells in Vinton County, Ohio

Posted on: Monday, 5 November 2007, 09:00 CST

PetroQuest Resources, Inc. (Computer Pink Sheets: PQRJ.PK), announced today that Mountaineer Gas Transmission, Inc., its wholly owned gas and oil production subsidiary, just contracted for the acquisition 100% of the working interest in 15 gas and oil wells in Vinton County, Ohio. These gas and oil wells hold oil and gas leases on approximately 2,850 acres of future drilling sites.

The Company plans to rework all 15 wells. The gas produced will be sold to an industrial end-user of natural gas that requested PetroQuest supply it with the natural gas needed for its operations. Supplying directly to an end-user is a win/win situation. PetroQuest sells the gas at a price that is in excess of wholesale, the price typically paid to a producer of natural gas, and the end-user pays less than retail. Any gas not sold to the industrial end-user along with any oil produced is sold into the open market.

Additionally, the Company's Management believes these 15 wells are ideal for re-completion in uphole production zones. Additional drilling sights for new wells will be made available from the additional acreage obtained from the contemplated purchase.
