OKLAHOMA CITY, OK announced its Board of Directors approved a capital spending budget of $78 million for 2008. The 2008 capital budget provides funding for various activities including the drilling of 325 wells, new acreage additions in the Cherokee Basin, and equipment purchases. Quest plans to fund the budget with internally generated cash flow and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Quest also affirmed an initial annual distribution rate of $1.60 per unit. Due to the timing of Quest's initial public offering, the fourth quarter distribution should be slightly more than half of the indicated quarterly rate and be paid in mid-February. "Based on the expected production gains from our 548-well 2007 drilling program and our 325-well 2008 program, we are well positioned to generate internal distribution growth," Quest Chairman, President, and CEO Jerry Cash said. "In addition, we continue to seek external opportunities to deliver on our objective of maintaining and growing unit holder distributions."
