Questerre Energy Corporation is leveraging its expertise gained through early
exposure to shale and other non-conventional reservoirs. The Company has base
production and reserves in the tight oil Bakken/Torquay of southeast
Saskatchewan. It is bringing on production from its lands in the heart of the
high-liquids Montney shale fairway. It is a leader on social license to operate
issues for its Utica shale gas discovery in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, Quebec.
In conjunction with a supermajor, it is at the leading edge of commercializing a
proven process to unlock the massive resource potential of oil shale.
Questerre is a believer that the future success of the oil and gas 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.
