NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE
UNITED STATES


Paramount Resources Ltd. (TSX:POU) ("Paramount" or the "Company") intends to
sell an additional $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.625% senior
unsecured notes due 2019 (the "Senior Notes") by way of a public offering in
Canada and on a private placement basis in the United States through a syndicate
of underwriters (the "Offering"). The Offering is expected to close before
mid-December 2013.


Net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund a portion of Paramount's
2014 capital expenditure program, the size and scope of which will be finalized
in the first quarter of 2014 after incorporating results from the Company's
2013/2014 winter drilling and completion program, and for general corporate
purposes. The Company may initially use the net proceeds from the Offering for
the non-permanent repayment of indebtedness under its secured bank credit
facility (the "Credit Facility").


The annual renewal of the Credit Facility has been completed. The aggregate size
of the facility increased from $450 million to $600 million based on the results
of Paramount's Deep Basin development program and its significant current year
reserves additions. The revolving period of the Credit Facility was extended to
November 30, 2014.


The underwriting syndicate for the Offering is co-led by Scotia Capital Inc.,
RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and also includes
AltaCorp Capital Inc., HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc., TD Securities Inc., CIBC
World Markets Inc. and Peters & Co. Limited. The public offering in Canada is
being made by way of a prospectus supplement to Paramount's short form base
shelf prospectus dated November 14, 2012, as amended.


The Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under any federal or
state securities laws of the United States. Accordingly, the Senior Notes may
not be offered or sold within the United States, except in transactions exempt
from the registration requirements of the federal and applicable state
securities laws of the United States. This news release shall not constitute an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Senior Notes in any
jurisdiction.


Paramount is a Canadian oil and natural gas exploration, development and
production company with operations focused in Western Canada. Paramount's Class
A Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "POU".
