In Alberta, Canada, the company has drilled 65 gross wells (29 net) in 2006 with three rigs that are expected to be drilling until break-up, estimated to be early to mid-March. Current net production is 50 MMcf/d.

President and CEO, Glenn Darden commented, "2005 was an excellent year for Quicksilver. Production grew 16 percent, reserves grew 20 percent, and the company moved forward on all fronts. With the Barnett Shale and Canadian coal bed drilling projects leading the way, Quicksilver is poised to grow at a faster rate this year than last. In addition to these developments, Quicksilver will be testing new shale objectives in West Texas. We anticipate another year of solid results for the company."
