LETTERHEAD] NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For further information, contact: Robert R. Brooksher, Vice President - Corporate Communications (337) 232-7028 PETROQUEST ENERGY, INC. ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS; PRODUCTION INCREASES 87% YEAR-OVER-YEAR Lafayette, Louisiana - May 1, 2002 - PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: PQUE) announced today a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 of $364,000 or $(0.01) per share, as compared to first quarter 2001 net income of $4,141,000 or $0.13 per share. Net cash flow from operations before working capital changes for the first quarter of 2002 was $6,745,000 or $0.18 per share, as compared to $10,277,000 or $0.31 per share for the comparable 2001 period. On a thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe) basis, first quarter 2002 production volumes equaled 3,792,012 Mcfe, a 87% increase over first quarter 2001 production volumes of 2,024,958 Mcfe. This is primarily the result of the Company's 77% drilling success rate during 2001. Oil and gas sales during the first quarter of 2002 decreased 15% to $10,509,000 as compared to the first quarter of 2001. This is the result of significantly lower product prices partially offset by the production increase discussed above. Stated on a Mcfe basis, unit prices received during the first quarter of 2002 were 55% lower than the prices received during the comparable 2001 period. All inclusive cash costs (lease operating expenses, production taxes, cash general and administrative expense and interest expense) for the first quarter of 2002 decreased to $1.02 per Mcfe from $1.30 per Mcfe in the comparable period of 2001. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the oil and gas operations of the Company for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.
