Quest Oil Corporation Closes on Midkiff Lease


HOUSTON, Dec. 22, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Quest Oil Corporation (OTCBB:QOIL) (www.questoil.com) is pleased to announce the closing of the purchase of the Midkiff Oil Field (the "Midkiff Field") as previously announced in a news release dated November 7, 2005. The purchase price for the lease, well assets and infrastructure was $210,000.

The Midkiff Field is located in Eastland County, Texas, and consists of 17 leases covering approximately 1,070 acres with 91 total wells. The Midkiff Field is adjacent to Hawkeye Field, a Quest Oil owned lease. Petrostar Oil Services, Inc., a Quest Oil subsidiary, will be conducting work over operations which include upgrading pipelines for increase pressure, well head rebuilding and down-hole motor repairs.

Wallstin Petroleum LLC, a Quest Oil subsidiary, contracted Frontier Surveying to conduct survey and has staked two wells on the Hawkeye Field for infill drilling to test the deeper Barnett Shale and Ellenberger sections. Drilling permits for these wells are in the process of being filed with the Texas Railroad Commission.

The Nettie Gardner lease (Exoc Field) has completed surveying by Frontier Surveying and has staked five new well locations. Filing the necessary drilling permits with the Texas Railroad Commission is in process. Wallstin Petroleum is currently negotiating with the drilling contractor on supplies and spud date. The target horizon is the Gardner oil sand, which has produced in the Gardner No. 2 well on the lease. An evaluation of the sand will be done to determine the applicability of a horizontal well drill program. Production is anticipated from the Jennings gas sands that overlie the Gardner sand.
