Canadian independent Questerre Energy has settled a legal dispute by buying out its partner Repsol from a position in the Utica shale play in the St Lawrence Lowlands area of Quebec, Canada, writes Beate Schjolberg.
Now, the company is getting ready to woo local municipalities to garner community support for development of the unconventional gas province.
Under a letter of intent, Calgary-based Questerre has agreed to buy exploration rights to 753,000 net acres in the Lowlands, along with associated wells, equipment and geological data.
