Questerre Energy Corporation ("Questerre" or the "Company") (TSX:QEC) (OSLO:QEC)
announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted its Notice
of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "2012 Issuer Bid") which
will be carried out on the TSX and the Oslo Stock Exchange ("OSE").


Under the terms of the 2012 Issuer Bid, Questerre is authorized to acquire up to
an aggregate of 11,605,776 of its Class "A" common shares ("Common Shares") over
the next 12-month period representing approximately 5% of its issued and
outstanding Common Shares as at December 19, 2011. 


A maximum of 28,444 Common Shares may be purchased by Questerre on any one day
through the facilities of the TSX, subject to any exemptions permitted by the
TSX. A maximum of 298,223 Common Shares may be purchased on any one day through
the facilities of the OSE, subject to any exemptions permitted by the OSE and
applicable regulations. 


All Common Shares purchased by Questerre under the 2012 Issuer Bid will be
returned to treasury and cancelled. As at today's date, Questerre has
232,115,528 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Although Questerre has a
present intention to acquire Common Shares, it is not obligated to make any
purchases pursuant to the 2012 Issuer Bid. In the past 12 months, Questerre has
acquired 2,907,700 Common Shares pursuant to a normal course issuer bid.


The 2012 Issuer Bid shall commence on December 22, 2011 and terminate on
December 21, 2012, or the earlier of the date all Common Shares which are
subject to the 2012 Issuer Bid are purchased.


In the opinion of the Board of Directors of Questerre, the market price of the
Common Shares does not accurately reflect the value of those shares. As a
result, Common Shares may become available for purchase at prices which make
them an appropriate use of funds of Questerre. All purchases will be effected at
market prices through the facilities of the TSX or the OSE, as the case may be,
and in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX and the OSE and
applicable regulations. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the 2012 Issuer Bid,
without charge, by contacting Questerre.


Questerre Energy Corporation is an independent energy company focused on
unconventional oil and gas projects. The Company is developing a portfolio of
light oil assets primarily in Saskatchewan. The Company is also leveraging its
expertise to commercialize its Utica shale gas discovery in the St. Lawrence
Lowlands, Quebec. Questerre is committed to the economic development of its
resources in an environmentally conscious and socially responsible manner.
