QUESTAR MARKET RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2002

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Note 2 - New Accounting Standards

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142) was issued in June 2001. SFAS 142 addresses, among other things, the financial accounting and reporting for goodwill subsequent to an acquisition. According to the new standard, amortization of goodwill was replaced by a requirement to test goodwill for impairment at least yearly or sooner if a specific triggering event occurs. As a result of the purchase of Shenandoah Energy, Inc. (SEI), Questar Market Resources, Inc. (QMR) recorded $66.8 million of goodwill on July 31, 2001. The goodwill was exempt from amortization under the new guidelines in SFAS 142. The company adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002 and completed an initial impairment test with no indication of impairment. The yearly goodwill impairment test required by SFAS 142 will be conducted in the fourth quarter.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company adopted SFAS 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" as of January 1, 2002, without an impact in the balance sheet, income statement or statement of cash flows.

Note 3 - Sale of Canadian Properties

On October 21, 2002, QMR sold its Canadian exploration and production subsidiary to EnerMark Inc., a subsidiary of Calgary-based Enerplus Resources Fund. Total consideration for 100% of the shares and retirement of associated debt was $US 105.6 million, subject to a one-time post-close adjustment in December 2002 to reflect changes, if any, in the Celsius Energy Resources, Ltd. (CERL) working capital balance as of the July 31, 2002 effective date of the transaction. CERL earned net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of $US 1.5 million and had total assets of $US 80 million at September 30, 2002. CERL's daily gas production of 28 million cubic feet equivalent represents approximately 10% of QMR's current nonregulated production. At year-end 2001, CERL had 81.8 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) of natural gas and oil reserves, representing about 7% of QMR's nonregulated reserves. QMR will use the proceeds from the sale to repay debt.

Note 4 - Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

QMR, indirectly through subsidiaries, has interests in businesses accounted for on the equity basis. These entities are engaged primarily in gathering and processing of natural gas. As of September 30, 2002, these affiliates did not have debt obligations with third-party lenders. The Company has 50% or less voting interest in each business. The form of organization and QMR's percentage ownership in these businesses are as follows: Canyon Creek Compression Co., a general partnership, (15%), Blacks Fork Gas Processing Co., a general partnership, (50%) and Rendezvous Gas Services LLC, a limited liability corporation, (50%).

Note 6 - Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the sum of net income as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income and other comprehensive income transactions reported in Shareholder's Equity. Other comprehensive income transactions result from changes in the fair value of energy price hedging contracts and interest rate hedging contracts, and changes in the carrying value of foreign investments caused by foreign currency translation adjustments. These transactions are not the culmination of the earnings process, but result from periodically adjusting historical balances to fair value. Income or loss is realized when the gas or oil underlying the hedging contracts is sold. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company closed out its interest hedging position.

Revenues

Exploration and Production Activities Production growth was more than offset by continued weak natural gas prices in the Rocky Mountain region resulting in lower revenues in the 2002 periods presented. Production of nonregulated gas, oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) climbed 5% to 23.9 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) in the third quarter of 2002 compared with 22.7 Bcfe in the third quarter of 2001 and rose 20% to 72.7 Bcfe in the nine months ended September 30, 2002. QMR purchased producing properties in the Uinta Basin of Utah in July 2001, which represented a significant portion of the year-to-year production growth. In addition, continued successful development drilling in the Uinta Basin of Utah and the Pinedale Anticline in southwestern Wyoming contributed to production increases. Production increased despite curtailments in the second and third quarters of 2002 due to low prices. QMR deliberately shut-in 1.8 Bcfe of Rocky Mountain region production in the third quarter bringing the total shut in volume to 3.3 Bcfe for 2002 ..

The average realized selling price for natural gas including benefits of cash flow hedges declined 15% from $2.94 to $2.49 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), net to the well, in the third quarter. Spot prices in the Rocky Mountains fell below $1 per MMBtu for the second consecutive quarter of 2002. During the third quarter, basis differential between gas prices in the Rockies and the Henry Hub (Louisiana) at times exceeded $2 per MMBtu on daily trading. Historically basis has ranged from $.40 to $.60. Growth in the gas supply in the Rockies has exceeded the available pipeline capacity to move gas to markets outside of the area. In addition, demand for gas in the Rockies is much lower during the summer. Realized natural gas prices excluding hedges declined 57% from $4.56 to $1.97 per Mcf, net to the well, in the nine-month comparison for the same reasons that affected the quarter to quarter comparison. Also, a reported energy shortage in the western region of the United States resulted in a spi ke in gas prices in the first quarter of 2001. Approximately, 55% of QMR's gas production is located in the Rocky Mountains.

QMR hedged or pre-sold approximately 48% of its nonregulated natural gas production and 66% of its nonregulated oil production during the first three quarters of 2002. As a result, QMR realized selling prices for gas 26% higher than without hedges, while realized oil prices were 10% lower than without hedges. Hedging benefited QMR by incrementally adding $31.2 million to gas revenues, but decreased oil revenues by $4.3 million. A summary of QMR's energy-price hedging positions for equity gas and oil production, excluding Wexpro, follows. QMR does not hedge sales of natural gas liquids.

Wexpro Earnings

Wexpro's net income was $2.9 million higher in 2002 as result of an 8% increase in its investment base when compared to September 30, 2001. The investment base net of deferred taxes and depreciation totaled $165.8 million compared to the year earlier balance of $153.2 million. Wexpro conducts cost of service development of gas reserves on behalf of Questar Gas. Cost of service refers to Wexpro's legal entitlement to reimbursement of its costs and an approved return on investment for operating the gas-development properties.

Gas Gathering and Energy Marketing Activities

Lower prices and marketing volumes in 2002 resulted in a $.4 million lower marketing margin. Marketing volumes were 13% lower in the first nine months of 2002 compared with the first nine months of 2001. The margin represents revenues less the costs to purchase gas and oil and transportation of gas. Revenues for gathering and processing were $7.6 million higher in the first nine months of 2002 compared with the same period in 2001 as a result of increased activities due to the July 2001 acquisition of properties in the Uinta Basin and increased production in the Rockies.

Expenses

Operating and maintenance expenses, which include general overhead charges, increased in the 2002 periods when compared with the 2001 periods primarily because of the addition of producing properties, including a significant property acquisition in the Uinta Basin in July 2001. Year-to-date 2002, lease operating expenses (LOE), excluding Wexpro, increased $6.2 million, gas-processing and gathering charges increased $5.9 million and general overhead costs were up $7.3 million over the same period of 2001. The average LOE per energy equivalent Mcf (Mcfe) for the first nine months of 2002 was $.53, unchanged from the same period of the prior year. The settlement of litigation during the third quarter added approximately $.7 million to 2002 general overhead expense. Exploration expenses increased as a result of higher nonproductive exploratory well costs. Abandonments declined in 2002 because of reduced leasehold impairments.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense increased 36% in the comparison of the first nine months of 2002 with the prior year period due to increased production. Equity production volumes increased 20% and the average DD&A rate increased from $.80 per Mcfe in 2001 to $.89 in 2002. Production and other taxes decreased following the decline of gas and oil prices. Production taxes amounted to $.16 per Mcfe in 2002 compared with $.29 per Mcfe in 2001.

Debt expense rose 61% in 2002 because of increased borrowing to finance the acquisition of SEI. Short-term interest rates were lower in 2002 when compared with 2001, partially offsetting the effect of higher debt balances.

Other income

QMR sold various gas and oil producing properties resulting in a pretax gain of $5.5 million in the first nine months of 2002. Sales of properties in Oklahoma and Texas generated a pretax gain of $10.0 million in the 2001 period. A $4.5 million settlement of litigation resulted in an after-tax gain of $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2002.

Income from unconsolidated affiliates

Pretax income from unconsolidated affiliates rose $1.5 million year to date 2002 compared with the same period of 2001. Rendezvous LLC began gathering and processing operations in the fourth quarter of 2001 and accounted for approximately $1.1 million of the increase. QMR's share of earnings from the Blacks Fork partnership increased approximately $.6 million in 2002 due to improved operating margins resulting from lower gas prices in the Rockies.
-11-

Income taxes

The effective income tax rate for the first nine months was 34.7% in 2002 and 35.8% in 2001. QMR recognized $3.3 million of non-conventional fuel tax credits in the 2002 period and $3.6 million in the 2001 period. Under current law, the federal income tax credit for producing fuel from a non-conventional source will not apply to production sold after December 31, 2002. Excluding non-conventional fuel credits would have the effect of increasing the effective income tax rate to 38.5% and reducing net income for the first nine months of 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Net cash provided from operating activities in the first nine months of 2002 was $15.2 million less than the net cash flow generated in the corresponding period of 2001. The 2001 period benefited from higher net income, the release of cash deposited as collateral for qualifying hedging contracts, and the collection of receivables. QMR had no cash on deposit with brokerages as a result of energy hedging contracts in the first nine months of 2002.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures amounted to $130.4 million in the first nine months of 2002. Capital expenditures for calendar year 2002 and 2003 are forecast to reach $190 million and $193 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

In the first nine months of 2002, net cash flow from operating activities less dividends paid amounted to $166.6 million and exceeded capital expenditures by $36.2 million. The surplus of $36.2 million combined with the $22.2 million in proceeds from asset sales allowed QMR to reduce its net debt balance by $25.8 million, including loans payable to its parent, and also allowed QMR to loan $33.9 million to its parent company. Questar centrally manages cash for its affiliate and the interest rate charged is identical to the rate paid. In January 2002, QMR issued $200 million of five-year, 7% notes in a public offering and used the proceeds to repay short term debt. The issuance of long-term debt was part of a financing plan that QMR undertook to permanently finance the SEI acquisition. QMR expects to finance remaining 2002 capital expenditures and reduce its debt using net cash flow provided from operating activities and the proceeds from selling assets.

Moody's Downgrades Debt Ratings

Moody's downgraded debt ratings of Questar and subsidiaries one level completing a review that began May 2, 2002. Also, Moody's established a stable outlook for each Questar entity. Moody's downgraded the rating of Questar Market Resources' senior unsecured debt from Baa2 to Baa3. A lower debt rating may increase QMR's cost of debt. However, Moody's revised rating is investment grade. The downgrade will not materially affect QMR's growth strategy.

On July 1, 2002, Questar Corporation filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue common equity or mandatory convertible securities, if necessary, to achieve debt-reduction goals. Currently, there are no plans for Questar to issue securities because over $200 million of cash has been raised through the sale of assets by its subsidiaries. In the fourth quarter of 2002, QMR sold its Canadian properties and applied the proceeds of approximately $US 95 million after tax to repay debt.

-12-

Business with Energy Merchants

The Company has significant gas sales to energy merchants, some of which have recently had their debt ratings downgraded. All companies with such concerns were current on their accounts as of the date of this report. The Company requires credit support and in some cases fungible collateral from companies with non-investment grade ratings in order to mitigate credit risks.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

QMR's primary market-risk exposures arise from commodity-price changes for natural gas, oil and other hydrocarbons and changes in interest rates. QMR sold its foreign affiliate in the fourth quarter of 2002 eliminating its foreign exchange risk. A QMR subsidiary has long-term contracts for pipeline capacity for the next several years and is obligated for transportation services with no guarantee that it will be able to recover the full cost of these transportation commitments.

QMR bears a majority of the risk associated with commodity price changes and uses energy-price hedging arrangements in the normal course of business to limit the risk of adverse price movements. However, these same arrangements usually limit future gains from favorable price movements. The hedging contracts exist for a significant share of QMR-owned gas and oil production and for a portion of energy-marketing transactions.

Commodity-Price Risk Management

The Company has established policies and procedures for managing commodity price risks through the use of derivatives. The primary objectives of these energy price hedging transactions are to support the Company's earnings targets and to protect earnings from downward movements in commodity prices. The volume of production hedged and the mix of derivative instruments employed are regularly evaluated and adjusted by management in response to changing market conditions and reviewed periodically by the Company's Board of Directors. It is the Company's current policy to hedge approximately 75% of the current year's proved-developed producing production by the first of March in the current year, at or above selling prices that support our budgeted income levels. The Company will add incrementally to these hedges, to reach forward beyond the current year when price levels are attractive. Additionally, under the terms of QMR's revolving credit facility, not more than 75% of forecasted production quantities from proved reserves can be committed to hedging arrangements. The Company does not enter into derivative arrangements for speculative purposes and does not hedge undeveloped production quantities.

Natural gas prices in the Rocky Mountain region have been depressed in 2002. The basis differential, the difference between Rockies prices and the benchmark Henry Hub (Louisiana) price, at times exceeded $2.00 per MMbtu in the second and third quarters of 2002, the widest differential in nearly a decade. This widening basis differential results from a combination of increased regional production, weak seasonal demand, and inadequate capacity in pipelines that transport Rockies gas out of the region. Rockies prices may remain depressed until regional demand increases and/or major new export pipelines are built. The expansion of the Kern River pipeline will improve pipeline capacity out of the Rockies but may not immediately return Rockies basis to historical ranges. With the acquisition of SEI in 2001, and with increased investment in development of the Company's Pinedale Anticline acreage, a growing percentage of the Company's production is in the Rockies region.

Management attention is focused on improving Rockies prices, net to the well, by hedging when market price fluctuations provide the opportunity to do so. In addition, the Company may curtail production, as was done in the second and third quarters of 2002, when prices are below levels necessary for profitability.

-13-


Accounting for hedging transactions

The Company may elect to designate a derivative instrument as a hedge of exposure to changes in fair value, cash flows or foreign currencies. If the hedged exposure is a fair-value exposure, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of the change together with the offsetting loss or gain from the change in fair value of the hedged item. If the hedged exposure is a cash flow exposure, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported initially as a component of other comprehensive income in the shareholder's equity section of the balance sheet and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Any amount excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, as well as the ineffective portion of the gain or loss, is reported in earnings immediately.

A derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge if all of the following tests are met:

- The item to be hedged exposes the Company to price risk.
- The derivative reduces the risk exposure and is designated as a hedge at the time the Company enters into the contract.
- At the inception of the hedge and throughout the hedge period there is a high correlation between changes in the market value of the derivative instrument and the fair value of the underlying item being hedged.

When the designated item associated with a derivative instrument matures, is sold, extinguished or terminated, derivative gains or losses are deferred and included in income in the same period that the underlying production or other contractual commitment is delivered. When a derivative instrument is associated with an anticipated transaction that is no longer expected to occur or if correlation no longer exists, the gain or loss on the derivative is reclassified from other comprehensive income and recognized currently in the results of operations.

Energy-Price Hedges

QMR held energy-price hedging contracts covering the price exposure for about 83.6 million Dth of gas and 1.6 million barrels of oil as of September 30, 2002. A year earlier QMR hedging contracts covered 69.1 million Dth of natural gas and 1.4 million barrels of oil. QMR does not hedge the price of natural gas liquids.

A summary of the activity for the fair value of energy-price hedging contracts for the first half ended September 30, 2002, is below. The calculation is comprised of the valuation of financial and physical contracts.

				In Thousands


Net fair value of energy hedging contracts outstanding at Dec 31, 2001				$ 50,897
Contracts realized or otherwise settled				(35,600)
Decline in energy prices on futures markets				(25,364)

Net fair value of energy hedging contracts outstanding at Sept 30, 2002				$ (10,067)




A vintaging of energy-price hedging contracts as of September 30, 2002, is shown below. About 64% of those contracts will settle and be reclassified from other comprehensive amounts in the next 12 months.

QMR's undiscounted mark-to-market valuation of financial gas and oil price-hedging contracts plus a sensitivity analysis follows:
	As of September 30,
	2002	2001

	(In Millions)

Mark-to-market valuation - asset (liability)	($10.1)	$33.1
Value if market prices of gas and oil decline by 10%	(8.7)	45.7
Value if market prices of gas and oil increase by 10%	(11.4)	20.4

The calculations reflect energy prices posted on the NYMEX, various "into the pipe" postings, and fixed prices on the indicated dates. These sensitivity calculations do not consider changes in the fair value of the corresponding scheduled physical transactions for price hedges on equity production (i.e., the correlation between the index price and the price to be realized for the physical delivery of gas or oil production) which should largely offset the change in value of the hedge contracts.

Interest-Rate Risk Management

As of September 30, 2002, QMR had $252.1 million of floating-rate long-term debt and $350 million of fixed-rate long-term debt. The book value of variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value. QMR hedged $100 million of variable-rate debt by entering a fixed-rate interest swap that expired September 30, 2002.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

QMR sold its foreign operations in the fourth quarter of 2002. The Company did not hedge the foreign currency exposure of its foreign operation's net assets and long-term debt. Long-term debt held by the foreign operation, amounting to US $61.1 million, was repaid with the proceeds of the sale of the foreign company.

Part II
Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are various legal proceedings against Questar Market Resources, Inc. ("QMR" or "the Company") and its subsidiaries. Management believes that the outcome of these cases will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or liquidity.

During the quarter, Questar Exploration and Production Company ("Questar E&P") and Wexpro Company ("Wexpro") agreed to settleBishop v. Questar Exploration and Production Co., andBishop v. Questar Gas Co. See the Company's Form 10-Q report for the second quarter of 2002, Item 1., Legal Proceedings, paragraph d. for a discussion of the cases. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Questar E&P and Wexpro both agreed to escrow specified sums as payment for royalty calculation claims and agreed to value future gas volumes for royalty calculation purposes using an average index price without any deductions for gathering. The settlement is subject to final approval of class certification and settlement terms.

Item 5. Other Information.

a. Charles B. Stanley, age 43, was appointed to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and each of its subsidiaries effective November 1, 2002. He replaced Gary L. Nordloh who retired as of the same date. Mr. Stanley was also elected to serve as a director of QMR as of November 1, 2002. Mr. Nordloh will continue to serve as a director of the Company.

Mr. Stanley was hired effective January 31, 2002, to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of QMR and its subsidiaries. Prior to joining the Company, he served as President and Chief Executive Officer of El Paso Oil and Gas, Canada, Inc. (2000-January 2002) and as President and Chief Executive Officer and director of Coastal Gas International Co. (1995-2000).

In addition to his other positions, Mr. Stanley was also appointed to serve as Chairman of the Boards of Questar Gas Management Company and Questar Energy Trading Company. These entities are subsidiaries of QMR that are classified as "marketing affiliates" of Questar Pipeline Company.

b. Gary G. Michael, age 62, was appointed to serve as a director of the Company effective October 24, 2002. Mr. Michael also serves as a director of Questar Corporation (QMR's parent) and as Chairman of its Finance and Audit Committee. He retired in April of 2001 as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Albertson's after serving in this position since February of 1991.

c. The Company's Board of Directors serves as the "audit committee" for purposes of required disclosure under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

d. Additional Comments.

Questar, the Company's parent, filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2002. The Commission staff reviewed this document and the periodic reports of Questar and its reporting subsidiaries including QMR. As a result of this review process, the Company is making the following statements and disclosures that should be read in conjunction with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

-17-

Joint Venture Relationships.

Questar itself does not have significant joint venture relationships. Through its subsidiaries, QMR is involved in joint venture activities.

QGM, a direct subsidiary of QMR, is one of two equal members in Rendezvous Gas Services, LLC, which is a joint venture organized to develop and operate new gathering and compression facilities in the Hoback Basin in southwestern Wyoming. Western Gas Resources is the other member. The Hoback Basin includes the Pinedale Anticline area in which Questar E&P and Wexpro have developed reserves as well as producing areas south of Pinedale. Rendezvous plans to deliver gas volumes from this area for processing and blending to the Blacks Fork plant in which QGM has a 50 percent interest, and to the Granger plant owned by an affiliate of Western Gas.

As noted above, QGM has a 50 percent interest in the Blacks Fork plant. A subsidiary of El Paso Corporation owns the remaining 50 percent interest in the plant. The Blacks Fork partnership is not a material contract.

QET, a direct subsidiary of QMR that is involved in energy marketing activities, has a 75 percent interest in the Clear Creek storage facility located in southwestern Wyoming. EnCana Corporation owns the remaining 25 percent. The operations of Clear Creek are consolidated with QET for financial reporting purposes. QET, in April of 2002, announced that it entered into a gas storage optimization agreement with Aquila Merchant Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Aquila Corporation, to manage commercial activities related to QET's contract for storage at the Clay Basin facility. The contract has since been terminated. The Aquila agreement was not a material contract to QMR.

Farm Out Activities.

QMR, as part of its strategy to emphasize low-cost development drilling, will frequently "farm out" the right to drill wells on identified leasehold acreage. A farm out is an agreement commonly used in the oil and gas industry that grants another entity the right to earn a specified ownership percentage in exchange for taking the risk and developing the leasehold acreage. The percentage of ownership ranges from 50 to 100 percent depending on the commercial success of the project.

The Company had a working interest in 337 gross wells in 2001, nine of which were drilled pursuant to farm out agreements wherein third parties paid a disproportionate share of the drilling cost and the Company retained a working interest. Five of these wells were completed as producers. The Company also farmed out 100% of its working interest in 33 wells, retaining a small overriding royalty interest in the well and in some instances a "back-in" working interest after the well achieves a certain financial threshold (for example, recovery of 100% of initial investment).

Reserves.

QMR's reserves do not include any reserves owned by third parties, even if the third parties acquired such reserves as a result of a farm out. QMR's reserves are reported on a net revenue interest.

Questar has consistently separated its disclosure of reserves owned by QMR and cost-of-service reserves developed by Wexpro. QMR does not include the cost-of-service reserves associated with properties operated by Wexpro in its reserve disclosures because Wexpro does not own such reserves. These cost-of-service reserves are disclosed in Note 11 to QMR's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

-18-

Reserves reported by QMR do not include any reserves attributable to third party royalty interests. Reserves are calculated and reported based on net revenue interests and include royalty interests owned by QMR. A royalty interest is held by the lessor that leases acreage in return for a specified percentage of the value of production from the acreage. QMR generally sells the royalty owner's share of production volumes, but does not own the reserves attributable to the royalty owner's interest.

Working Interest, Pinedale.

As previously reported, QMR through Questar E&P and Wexpro, has an average 60 percent working interest in 14,800 acres in the Mesa Area of the Pinedale Anticline. The working interest ownership within the area varies in the range of 56% to 90%. QMR's 60 percent working interest is equal to a 47 percent net revenue interest.

Cost of Service Definition.

Wexpro conducts gas and oil development and production activities on certain producing properties located in the Rocky Mountain region under the terms of a settlement agreement. (The terms of the settlement agreement are described in Note 10 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 14 of the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The gas is often referred to as "cost of service." This term refers to Wexpro's legal entitlement to reimbursement of its costs and approved return on investment for operating the properties. Such gas volumes are reflected in Questar Gas's rates at cost-of-service prices, rather than market prices.

Operating Expenses.

As previously reported (See "Operating Expenses" discussion under "Results of Operations," in Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis, of the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K) QMR's expenses increased 34 percent in 2000 compared with 1999. One factor responsible for this increase was the settlement of a significant lawsuit disclosed in Item 3 Legal Proceedings, of the Company's 2000 Form 10-K. Pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement in the lawsuit, Bridenstine v. Kaiser-Francis Oil Company, Questar E&P and an unrelated party paid $22.5 million, with Questar E&P's portion being $16.5 million. The lawsuit was a class action lawsuit involving allegations that excessive transportation charges had been deducted from royalty payments.

Market Resources, Exploration and Production.

For 2002, QMR's capital expenditure forecast totals $190 million. Included in this forecast is $143 million for development drilling and $29 million for expansion of gas gathering capacity. Less than $3 million has been allocated to exploration activities.

In the first nine months of 2002, QMR participated in a total of 224 gross wells (124 net). The net total included 109 in the Rocky Mountains, 12 in the midcontinent, and 3 in Canada. The drilling success rate on a net basis was 97%.

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY INSURANCE

SECTION 40. (a) Voluntary Indemnification. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, the Company shall indemnify any individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director of the Company, against liability incurred in the proceeding, but only if the Company has authorized the payment in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions [Sections 16-10a-902 and 16-10a-904 of Utah's Revised Business Corporation Act] and a determination has been made in accordance with the procedures set forth in such provision that the director conducted himself in good faith; that he reasonably believed that his conduct, if in his official capacity with the Company, was in its best interests and that his conduct, in all other cases, was at least not opposed to the Company's best interests; and that he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful in the case of any criminal proceeding.

(b) The Company may not voluntarily indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Company in which the director was adjudged liable to the Company or in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him.

(c) Indemnification permitted under Paragraph (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Company is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

(d) If a determination is made, using the procedures set forth in the applicable statutory provision, that the director has satisfied the requirements listed herein and if an authorization of payment is made, using the procedures and standards set forth in the applicable statutory provision, then, unless otherwise provided in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company shall pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if the director furnishes the Company a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has satisfied the standard of conduct described in this Section, furnishes the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the standard of conduct (which undertaking must be an unlimited general obli gation of the director, but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment); and if a determination is made that the facts then known of those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this Section.

(e) Mandatory Indemnification. Unless otherwise provided in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company shall indemnify a director or officer of the Company who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director or officer of the Company against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.

(f) Court-Ordered Indemnification. Unless otherwise provided in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, a director or officer of the Company who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. The court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is entitled to mandatory indemnification as provided in this Section and applicable law, in which case the court shall also order the Company to pay the reasonable expenses incurred by the director or officer to obtain court-ordered indemnification. The court may also order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director or officer met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section and a pplicable law. Any indemnification with respect to any proceeding in which liability has been adjudged in the circumstances described in Paragraph (b) above is limited to reasonable expenses.

(g) Indemnification of Others. Unless otherwise provided in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, an officer, employee, or agent of the Company shall have the same indemnification rights provided to a director by this Section. The Board of Directors may also indemnify and advance expenses to any officer, employee, or agent of the Company, to any extent consistent with public policy as determined by the general or specific purpose of the Board of Directors.

(h) Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain liability insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent or the Company, or who, while serving as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, other person, of an employee benefit plan, or incurred by him in that capacity or arising from his status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the Company has the power to indemnify him against the same liability under applicable law.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

SECTION 41. No director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to take any action, as a director, except liability for (a) the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which he is not entitled; (b) an intentional infliction of harm on the Company or the shareholders; (c) for any action that would result in liability of the director under the applicable statutory provision concerning unlawful distributions [Section 16-10a-842 of Utah's Revised Business Corporation Act]; or (d) an intentional violation of criminal law. This provision shall not limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to August 11, 1992. Any repeal or modification of this provision by the stockholders shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Company for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date of such repeal or modification.

GARY L. NORDLOH
AND
QUESTAR MARKET RESOURCES, INC.

This CONSULTING AGREEMENT is entered into effective as of November 1, 2002, between Questar Market Resources, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of Utah, with its principal place of business at 180 East 100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, herein referred to as the "Company," and Gary L. Nordloh of 4058 County Road 57, Box 194, Granby, Colorado 80446, herein referred to as "Mr. Nordloh." (As defined, the term "Company" refers to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.)

Recitals

1.	Mr. Nordloh has retired as an employee of Questar Exploration and Production Company, an affiliate of the Company, and no longer serves as an officer of the Company. He has substantial knowledge of certain areas of the Company's business and operations.

Due to Mr. Nordloh's knowledge regarding Company business and operations, the Company has requested that he perform consulting and advisory services on an irregular, part-time basis for a one-year periodfollowing his retirement. Mr. Nordloh desires to perform such services subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

Section I - Services

Mr. Nordloh will perform consulting and advisory services to the Company as requested from time to time by Mr. Keith O. Rattie or Mr. Charles B. Stanley as representatives of the Company. Specifically, Mr. Nordloh may be requested to review the Company's strategies and plans and new business and merger/acquisition opportunities, to assist in the identification and analysis of potential asset and corporate acquisitions, and to advise the Company concerning industry trends and their impact on the Company. He may also be asked to serve as a witness in litigation or administrative proceedings involving the Company. Mr. Nordloh understands that the Company respects his intelligence, forthrightness and insightful integration of information and that the Company expects him to exhibit the same characteristics when performing services under this Agreement.

Section II - Place of Work

The Company will not provide Mr. Nordloh with a permanent office or other place of work. However, the Company will permit Mr. Nordloh to use an office at the Company's facilities in Denver, Colorado and access to secretarial services for his work on Company affairs.

Section III - Time Devoted to Work

In performing services under this Agreement, Mr. Nordloh is generally able to establish his own work schedule. He, however, is expected to attend and participate in meetings of the Company's management team that will be held in Denver, Colorado on a quarterly or bi-monthly basis and that last from four to eight hours. In addition, Mr. Nordloh agrees to make himself available by telephone for periodic discussions on various business issues, with the frequency of such calls decreasing over time as the Company adjusts to the transition caused by Mr. Nordloh's retirement. The Company agrees to give Mr. Nordloh reasonable advance notice of meetings in or other travel requirements to Salt Lake City, Utah, or other locations within the Company's area of operations. Mr. Nordloh agrees to be generally available by telephone, electronic mail, or fax and shall give reasonable notice to the Company in the event of vacations or other ev ents that might interfere with normal availability and communications. Mr. Nordloh also agrees to devote the necessary time to serve the Company as a director and to attend quarterly Board meetings as long as he remains a director of the Company.

Section IV - Payment

The Company agrees to pay Mr. Nordloh a retainer of $10,000.00 per month, which is payable on or before the 15th day of each month with the first payment made on or before November 15, 2002 and with the last payment made on or before October 15, 2003. The Company will mail or electronically deposit these monthly retainer checks in accordance with Mr. Nordloh's instructions. The Company will also reimburse Mr. Nordloh for any out-of-pocket expenses he incurs while performing services under this Agreement. Examples of such expenses are the cost of transportation, meals, and lodging if Mr. Nordloh is required to perform services outside the area of his domicile or if sudden transportation is needed to return to Denver, Colorado. The Company will reimburse reasonable mileage expenses if Mr. Nordloh is requested to travel out of town to perform responsibilities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section V - Status

This Agreement provides for the performance of services by Mr. Nordloh as an independent contractor. Mr. Nordloh will not be considered an employee or officer of the Company for any purpose and shall not represent himself as an employee or officer of the Company to third parties. He will not be eligible to participate in any pension or welfare benefit programs or incentive compensation programs that are provided for employees of the Company other than benefits available to him as a retired employee. Mr. Nordloh understands that he is a retired employee for purposes of exercising stock options granted by Questar Corporation ("Questar"). The sole benefits for which Mr. Nordloh shall be eligible are benefits available to retirees of Questar or available to non-employee directors of the Company.

As long as Mr. Nordloh provides services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, he is considered to be an "insider" under federal securities laws and shall comply with the requirements of such laws.

Either party may terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of October 31, 2003, by sending written notice to the other party at least 30 days prior to the proposed termination date. Termination of this Agreement prior to October 31, 2003 shall not relieve the Company of its obligations to reimburse Mr. Nordloh for any expenses incurred by him to perform services pursuant to the terms of it nor relieve Mr. Nordloh of his obligations pursuant to Sections VII through XI of this Agreement.

(b)	Mr. Nordloh shall treat all Proprietary Information of the Company (as defined below) on a confidential basis.

Section IX - Limitations on Use of Proprietary Information

During the term of this Agreement and for one year after it terminates, Mr. Nordloh shall not use the Proprietary Information for any purpose except to further the Company's business or divulge this information to any person other than the Company or persons to whom the Company has given its consent, except to the extent such information:

(b)

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Mr. Nordloh shall immediately return to the Company all of Company's property, if any, including cellular telephone, computer hardware, computer software, software documentation, maps, reports, and any replications used by him in rendering services to the Company or otherwise that are in his possession of control.

Section XI - Non-compete

(a)	The Company is entering into this Agreement with Mr. Nordloh to obtain financial and competitive advantage. During the term of this Agreement and for a specified period of time following termination of it, Mr. Nordloh shall not directly or indirectly:

(iv)	disparage the Company's management or strategic direction when dealing with third parties or employees; or

(v)	influence or attempt to influence any Company employee to terminate his employment to work for Mr. Nordloh directly or any competitor of the Company.

(b)

The Company is not interested in having Mr. Nordloh perform full-time consulting services for it during the term of this Agreement, but the Company's consent is necessary for Mr. Nordloh to engage in provide consulting services to any customer or competitor of the Company during the term of this Agreement or the non-compete period following its termination. The Company will not unreasonably withhold such consent.

(c)

The period of time that this non-competition provision shall remain in effect shall be dependent on the termination of the Agreement. If the Agreement remains in effect for the full year, the non-competition provision shall remain in effect until November 1, 2004.

Mr. Nordloh may request and the Company may grant, at its sole discretion, waivers to the foregoing restrictions on a case-by-case basis where the applicability of this Section XI may be in question. Recognizing that reasonable people may differ in making this determination, the parties agree that, if the scope of enforceability of this provision is disputed at any time, a court or other trier of fact may modify and enforce this provision to the extent that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances existing at that time.

Section XII - Miscellaneous
