FORT WORTH, TEXAS (November 1, 2007)– Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK) announced that today it has completed the divestment of all of its properties and facilities in Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky to BreitBurn Operating L.P. in exchange for $750 million in cash and approximately 21.348 million common units of BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P.  The total consideration is subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

“This transaction enables Quicksilver to achieve its objectives of significantly improving our financial position while retaining meaningful upside in these properties through our ownership of the BreitBurn units,” said Glenn Darden, Quicksilver president and chief executive officer.  “As a result of this divestment, Quicksilver’s development activities will be focused on its high-growth properties in the Fort Worth Basin of Texas and the Horseshoe Canyon area in Alberta.”
