Quicksilver Resources Reports Record Results for 2007
FORT WORTH, TEXAS (February 26, 2008) – Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK) today reported record net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 of $396.1 million ($2.35 per diluted share), including $366.8 million ($2.17 per diluted share) associated with the divestiture of the company’s Northeast Operations. The company’s comparative fourth-quarter 2006 net income was $19.7 million ($.12 per diluted share). Full year 2007 net income was a record $479.4 million ($2.86 per diluted share), as compared to full-year 2006 net income of $93.7 million ($.58 per diluted share). Per share data reflects the two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend on January 31, 2008.
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure that excludes items associated with the divestment of the company’s Northeast Operations, was $29.3 million ($.18 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2007, up approximately 49% as compared to $19.7 million ($.12 per diluted share) in the prior-year quarter. The Northeast Operations included all of the company’s properties and assets in Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky. Net cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was a record $319.1 million, an increase of nearly 32% from $242.2 million generated in the same period of 2006, as presented in the attached Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Full-Year 2007 Highlights
| · | Reported record net income of $479 million |
| · | Generated a record $319 million of net cash from operating activities |
| · | Produced record volumes of more than 213 MMcfe per day; up 27% year-over-year |
| · | Drilled 244 horizontal wells in the Fort Worth Basin; connected 187 wells to sales |
| · | Replaced 780% of production with drill bit; Finding & Development cost of $1.37 per Mcfe |
| · | Divested mature assets |
| · | Completed initial public offering of midstream assets |
| · | Reduced debt as a percent of total capital to 43% |
“Even while completing two major transactions, we stayed focused on efficiently executing our development program. This has positioned Quicksilver as an even higher growth company with one of the lowest cost structures in the industry,” said Glenn Darden, Quicksilver president and chief executive officer. “The divestment of our Northeast Operations and the initial public offering of our Fort Worth Basin midstream business have highlighted the value of these previously under-appreciated assets. Net proceeds from these transactions have significantly strengthened our capital structure and provided added flexibility for the company to continue to invest in the development of our high-return Fort Worth Basin Barnett Shale properties. We are off to a great start in 2008 and remain on track to achieve new records in 2008 for both production and reserves.”

Revenues and Costs
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $149.1 million compared to $102.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Sales of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil totaled $146.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, up approximately 45% from the 2006 quarter. The increase reflects a 24% increase in equivalent daily production volumes and a 17% increase in the average realized price per Mcfe.
Production costs of $35.1 million for the 2007 fourth quarter represent a $5.2 million increase from the prior-year quarter. This increase was primarily due to increased production volumes from Texas coupled with $0.9 million of severance expense associated with the divestment of the company’s Northeast Operations. Unit production costs, excluding divestment-related expenses, were $1.53 per Mcfe during the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to $1.52 per Mcfe in the prior-year quarter and down $.25 per Mcfe sequentially from the third-quarter 2007 level of $1.78 per Mcfe.
Capital Structure
At December 31, 2007, the company’s total debt outstanding was $813.9 million and the company had $28.2 million of cash on the balance sheet. Total debt as a percent of total capitalization was approximately 43% at December 31, 2007 versus approximately 61% at December 31, 2006.

Ownership of BreitBurn Energy Partners’ Units
On November 1, 2007, the company completed the divestiture of its Northeast Operations to BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. (BBEP) for $750 million in cash and approximately 21.348 million limited partner units of BBEP, representing approximately 32% ownership of limited partner interests in BBEP. The investment in BBEP is being accounted for using the equity method and the company will record its earnings from BBEP during the quarter in which BBEP’s financial statements become publicly available. For the fourth quarter of 2007, the company recorded no earnings associated with this investment but expects to report the equity earnings from BBEP on a one-quarter lagged basis.
Operational Update
In the Fort Worth Basin, the company drilled 57 (52 net) wells and connected 58 (50 net) wells to sales during the fourth quarter. For the full year of 2007, the company drilled 244 (219 net) wells and connected 187 (163 net) wells to sales and expects to drill 200 to 220 wells in the area during 2008. As a result, the company expects to achieve annual production growth of more than 100% from the basin in 2008.
In Canada, the company drilled 221 (161 net) wells in the Horseshoe Canyon area during 2007 and expects to drill approximately 265 (165 net) wells in this area during 2008. As a result, the company expects to achieve annual production growth in the range of 7% to 9% from its Canadian operations in 2008.
Total company capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2007 were approximately $330 million, of which approximately 70% was associated with drilling and completion activities, approximately 13% for midstream activities, approximately 13% for acreage purchases and approximately 4% for corporate. For the year, capital expenditures totaled approximately $1.0 billion.
Finding and Development Costs
The company’s estimated all-in finding and development cost (F&D) for 2007 has been finalized based upon the total 2007 capital expenditures. All-in F&D costs for 2007 were $1.37 per Mcfe. A reconciliation of the “2007 Finding & Development Costs” is available on the company’s website – www.qrinc.com. For a description of the calculation of, and certain other information regarding, F&D costs, please see the discussion below under the heading “F&D Costs.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
This press release and the accompanying schedule include the non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") financial measure of adjusted net income. The accompanying schedule provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measures of such as net income, operating income or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this press release regarding future events, occurrences, circumstances, activities, performance, outcomes and results are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although these statements reflect the current views, assumptions and expectations of Quicksilver Resources’ management, the matters addressed herein are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual activities, performance, outcomes and results to differ materially from those indicated. Factors that could result in such differences or otherwise materially affect Quicksilver Resources’ financial condition, results of operations and cash flows include: changes in general economic conditions; fluctuations in natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil prices; failure or delays in achieving expected production from natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil exploration and development projects; effects of hedging natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil prices; uncertainties inherent in estimates of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil reserves and predicting natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil reservoir performance; effects of hedging natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil; competitive conditions in our industry; actions taken by third parties, including operators, processors and transporters;

changes in the availability and cost of capital; delays in obtaining oilfield equipment and increases in drilling and other service costs; operating hazards, natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control; the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations; and the effects of existing or future litigation; as well as, other factors disclosed in Quicksilver Resources’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
F&D Costs
Finding and development cost, or F&D cost, is calculated by dividing (x) development, exploitation, exploration and acquisition capital expenditures for the period, plus unevaluated capital expenditures as of the beginning of the period, less unevaluated capital expenditures as of the end of the period, by (y) reserve additions for the period. Our calculation of “all-in F&D cost” includes costs and reserve additions related to the purchase of proved reserves. The methods we use to calculate our F&D cost may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, our F&D cost may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. We believe that providing a measure of F&D cost is useful in evaluating the cost, on a per thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent basis, to add proved reserves.
However, this measure is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Due to various factors, including timing differences in the addition of proved reserves and the related costs to develop those reserves, F&D costs do not necessarily reflect precisely the costs associated with particular reserves. As a result of various factors that could materially affect the timing and amounts of future increases in reserves and the timing and amounts of future costs, we cannot assure you that our future F&D costs will not differ material from those presented.
A reconciliation of F&D costs is available on the company’s website at www.qrinc.com.
