Calgary, Alberta -- Questerre Energy Corporation ("Questerre" or the "Company")
(TSX,OSE:QEC) reported today that Nice Capital Holdings Ltda. ("Nice"), a member
of the Nimofast Group ("Nimofast'), has received regulatory approval to proceed
with its joint venture with Questerre for the development of Parana Xisto SA
("PX Energy"), an oil shale production and refining company based in southern
Brazil (the "Joint Venture").
The Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense ("CADE") issued a
certificate yesterday for its final and non-appealable decision to approve the
participation of Nice in the Joint Venture. Nice will acquire a 50% interest in
the Joint Venture through the acquisition of shares of Questerre's special
purpose subsidiary and the Brazilian holding company that owns 100% of the
equity of PX Energy.
Michael Binnion, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Questerre, commented,
"With the CADE approval in place, we look forward to working with Nimofast to
realize the potential of the PX Energy acquisition. We expect to finalize our
joint venture agreement with them later this month."
Questerre is an energy technology and innovation company. It is leveraging its
expertise gained through early exposure to low permeability reservoirs to
acquire significant high-quality resources. We believe we can successfully
transition our energy portfolio. With new clean technologies and innovation to
responsibly produce and use energy, we can sustain both human progress and our
natural environment.
Questerre is a believer that the future success of the oil and gas industry
depends on a balance of economics, environment, and society. We are committed to
being transparent and are respectful that the public must be part of making the
important choices for our energy future.
