Quest Oil Acquires Hawkeye Lease; Eastland County, Texas

Joins Barnett Shale Play

ARLINGTON, Texas, July 14, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Quest Oil Corporation ("Quest" or the "Company") announces it has entered into an agreement to purchase the Hawkeye Field, located in Eastland County, Texas. Lease documents are being recorded in Eastland County, Texas.

The Hawkeye Field comprises 4 leases totaling 483 acres, with a total of 95 wells, 48 of these wells are capable of producing with remedial work. Additionally, there are 34 injection wells, 3 water supply wells and 10 temporarily abandoned wells. Production occurs from the shallow Adams Branch Limestone in the Canyon Group at a depth of approximately 1,100 ft.

Purchase price for the leases and the wells is $90,000 with an estimated capex of $240,000, which entails the work-over of the lease tank battery and the wells. Production rate is estimated at 175 BOPD. Average projected net revenue, after lease operating expense and taxes at $50/barrel, is approximately $15,000,000 over the life of the project with an estimated PV10 value of $6,000,000. This is based on a 75% average net revenue interest to Quest Oil. These figures are just for the shallow Adams Branch pay zone. The underlying formations could easily quadruple these figures.

Cameron King, Quest CEO, said, "The acquisition of the Hawkeye Field's producing assets marks a first step for Quest and its strategy to become a major player in the Barnett Shale along with XTO Energy, Chief, Carrizo Oil and Gas and EOG and Devon. Quest intends to maximize production by drilling horizontal wells in the Barnett with a lateral reach of 2000 to 3000 feet. Utilizing horizontal wells, each well is capable of a EUR of 1 to 2.5 BCF of gas.

"Our regional geological and geochemical studies indicate that the underlying Barnett Shale is the source for all the oil and gas in this area. The deeper objectives in the area, the Strawn, Bend, Marble Falls and Barnett Shale groups remain untouched. The Hawkeye acquisition provides Quest the opportunity to buy into existing proven assets and at the same time become a player in the Barnett Shale. The work-over program requires infill drilling to prove up our existing assets and testing the Barnett Shale play with a horizontal well." Quest Oil will be conducting 3D seismic survey designed for the Eastland County assets to validate our studies and place our wells in a location devoid of karsting in the underlying Ellenberger.
