OKLAHOMA CITY, OK today announced that the corporation expects to receive $23 million to $25 million in combined distributions from Quest Energy Partners, L.P. (NASDAQ: QELP) and Quest Midstream Partners, L.P. in 2008. Quest owns 100% of the general partner and a 57% limited partner interest in Quest Energy Partners and 85% of the general partner and a 36% limited partner interest in Quest Midstream Partners.

This estimate reflects the indicated initial annual distribution rate of $1.60 per unit for Quest Energy Partners and the remainder from Quest Midstream. The guidance does not take into account the impact of Quest's planned merger with Pinnacle Gas Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: PINN) or any potential transfers of assets to either partnership following the close of the merger.

New Ventures Update

Quest also announced that its New Ventures group has acquired oil and gas rights to approximately 22,300 net acres in southwestern Pennsylvania that it believes are prospective for the Marcellus Shale. Quest recently completed drilling of the first vertical well on the acreage and expects to have the well completed and tested by the middle of the first quarter of 2008. Quest expects to drill additional wells on the acreage in 2008. The New Ventures group is pursuing other opportunities to utilize their technical expertise to create value for Quest Resource shareholders and currently plans to spend $2 million to $3 million on the drilling and completion of wells in Pennsylvania and other areas in 2008.
