Quicksilver Resources Reports 2012 Second-Quarter Results
Company Posts Stellar Horn River Results and Strengthens
Financial Flexibility with Amended Credit Facility
FORT WORTH, TEXAS (August 7, 2012) – Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK) today announced preliminary 2012 second-quarter results.
Highlights:
| · | Secured financial covenant flexibility in Combined Credit Agreements, providing time to manage the balance sheet and develop emerging plays |
| · | Completed first multi-well pad in Horn River, with individual wells testing in excess of 20 MMcfd |
| · | Advanced negotiations on two joint ventures |
| · | Improved well performance and drill/complete costs in the Colorado Niobrara project |
| · | Reduced second-half 2012 capital expenditures by $50 million and deferred commitments in the Horn River Basin |
| · | Nearly 50 percent of expected 2013 production hedged at a weighted average price of $5.30/Mcf |
“Quicksilver is aggressively attacking costs and capital expenditures in this low commodity price environment. We have proactively amended our credit facility, reduced capital spending and pushed out capital commitments in the Horn River Basin and our other operating areas. At the same time, we have made significant gains in British Columbia and Colorado,” said Glenn Darden, President and CEO. “Negotiations on two joint ventures have progressed significantly. We believe these transactions will help push this company forward.”
Financial Results
Adjusted net loss for the second quarter, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $21 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $11 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the 2011 period. Including the impact of one-time items, the net loss for the second quarter was $673 million, or $3.96 per diluted share, compared to net income of $109 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Second-quarter 2012 results were impacted by a $992 million non-cash impairment of oil and gas properties due to lower average natural gas and NGL prices compared to the 12 months ended March 31, 2012 and non-cash gains of $8 million related to hedge ineffectiveness. Further details of adjusted net income are included in the tables following this earnings release.

Production
Production averaged 359 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (MMcfe) per day during the second quarter, down from 417 MMcfe per day in the prior-year quarter, and down from 377 MMcfe in the first quarter of 2012. The decline from both periods is primarily due to the delay in bringing Horn River volumes online, a reduction in completion activity in the Barnett Shale (45 fewer wells were connected to sales in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011), natural production decline of existing wells and temporary shut-ins to support new development activity. Shut-ins of certain uneconomic production had an immaterial impact on second-quarter volumes. The production volumes for the second quarter of 2012 were 80% natural gas and 20% natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil and condensate.
Revenues and Expenses
Production revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was $151 million, down 28% from the prior-year quarter and down 12% from the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in production revenue from both periods was caused by the production declines described above and lower realized prices for natural gas and NGLs.
Lease operating expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $22 million, or $0.66/Mcfe, compared to $24 million, or $0.64/Mcfe in the prior-year quarter and $29 million, or $0.84/Mcfe in the first quarter of 2012. The reduction from the first quarter is mainly due to shut-ins of uneconomic wells in the Barnett Shale resulting in lower water hauling and gas lift expense and a decline in well workover activity in both the U.S. and Canada.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $40 million, or $1.23/Mcfe, compared to $48 million, or $1.25/Mcfe in the prior-year quarter. The decline is primarily related to lower amortization of deferred financing fees and higher capitalized interest related to expanded spending on the company’s exploratory assets.
Debt
At June 30, 2012, Quicksilver’s total debt was approximately $2.1 billion. In August 2012, Quicksilver amended its Combined Credit Agreements, and as part of that process, accelerated the fall redetermination. Based on reserves at June 30, 2012, the redetermined global borrowing base was set at $850 million, the interest coverage covenant was adjusted downward to provide increased flexibility, and other limitations were introduced, including increased interest margins and additional financial and other covenants. The company has approximately $410 million utilized under its Combined Credit Agreements on a pro-forma basis, reflecting the anticipated near-term reductions in Canadian letters of credit obligations.
Operational Update
Canada - Horn River Basin
Shortly after the end of the second quarter, Quicksilver finalized completion operations on its eight-well drilling pad, its first multi-well pad in the basin. With production curtailed due to the flow limitations of the test equipment, individual wells tested at rates in excess of 20 MMcfd, with the

| Page 3 of 15 |
highest rate at 27 MMcfd. These wells were drilled with 6,000 to 8,500-foot laterals. The pad is estimated to have the capacity to produce in excess of 150 MMcfd of gas.
Once initial production rates are established, Quicksilver’s current plan is to restrict the flow from the pad to optimize midstream commitments under various agreements, and subsequently, to increase production to meet increased throughput commitments as necessary, or if natural gas prices improve. Therefore, no additional wells are planned to be drilled in the second half of 2012 as was contemplated in the original budget.
United States – Barnett Shale
Quicksilver drilled 7 gross (7 net) wells and connected 14 gross (10.6 net) wells to sales in the second quarter. At June 30, 2012, Quicksilver had a remaining uncompleted well inventory of 24 gross operated wells that have been drilled in the Barnett Shale but await completion or connection to sales lines.
As of June 30, 2012, the company is operating one rig in the high-BTU acreage of the Barnett Shale, and is scaling back activity with plans to drill four wells, complete six wells, and connect eight wells to sales for the remainder of 2012.
United States – Sand Wash Basin
The company continues to see improvements in well performance and drilling/completion cost in its Colorado Niobrara project. In the second quarter, the company drilled two vertical wells and recompleted a third well using a different fracture stimulation method. Initial production rates for the newer vertical wells have come in at approximately 100 barrels of oil equivalent (Boe) per day, which is primarily oil, and these wells exhibit a relatively shallow production decline. Preliminary estimates of ultimate recoveries are in the range of 200,000 Boe per well. This recovery estimate is consistent with historical recoveries from producing wells in this area of the Sand Wash Basin.
The company plans to drill one well and complete two wells for the remainder of 2012 and defer construction of a planned gathering line and related facilities.
Quicksilver holds approximately 210,000 net acres in the Sand Wash Basin of Northwest Colorado, which the company believes are situated in the oil window prospective of the Niobrara formation.
United States – West Texas
Quicksilver is currently completing two wells after seeing promising shows while drilling in its West Texas project, one in Pecos County targeting the Third Bone Springs formation and one in Upton County targeting the Wolfcamp formation.
The company plans to drill and complete two wells during the remainder of 2012.

| Page 4 of 15 |
Quicksilver holds approximately 155,000 net acres across the Delaware and Midland basins of West Texas, of which the company believes approximately 105,000 net acres are situated in the oil window of the Wolfcamp and Bone Springs formations.
Canada - Horseshoe Canyon
Drilling, completion and pipeline activities were suspended for most of the second quarter due to the seasonal break-up period. The company does not expect to drill any further wells in Horseshoe Canyon during the second half of 2012.
Capital Program
During the second quarter of 2012, the company incurred approximately $155 million of capital expenditures, of which approximately $131 million was associated with drilling and completion activities, $5 million for midstream activities, $11 million for acreage purchases, and $8 million for corporate and other purposes. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the total capital program was $291 million. The capital budget for 2012 was 70% weighted to the first half of the year to accommodate an increase in the midstream commitments in the Horn River Basin and for the additional drilling rig utilized during the first quarter in the Barnett Shale.
Capital spending is projected to be $70 million for the second half of 2012 and approximately $360 million for full-year 2012, or $50 million less than the original budget of $410 million. The reduction in capital spending is due to a reduction in drilling and related activity across the company’s assets as discussed in the operational updates above.
Third Quarter Outlook
Third-quarter average daily production volume is expected to be 385-400 MMcfe per day. Full-year 2012 average production volume is expected to be 365-380 MMcfe per day with drilling activity further reduced from what was contemplated in the previous quarter’s guidance.
For the third-quarter 2012, average unit expenses, on a Mcfe basis, are expected as follows:
| · | Lease operating expense | $0.60 - $0.64 | |
| · | Gathering, processing & transportation | 1.16 - 1.20 | |
· | Production and ad-valorem taxes | 0.21 - 0.23 | |
| · | General and administrative | 0.43 - 0.47 | |
| · | Depletion, depreciation & accretion | 1.30 - 1.35 |
