Quest Energy Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: QELP) ("QELP" or "the Partnership") today announced that it has received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market, dated November 19, 2008, indicating that because the Partnership has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008, that under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) it is no longer in compliance with the rules for continued listing on the exchange.

The notice further stated that Nasdaq rules permit the Partnership to submit a plan to regain compliance by no later than January 20, 2009, or within 60 calendar days. Following a review of this plan, Nasdaq staff can grant QELP an exception, up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the 10-Q, or until May 13, 2009, to regain compliance. QELP intends to timely submit a plan to Nasdaq and to execute on that plan to be back in compliance within the exception period.

In determining whether to grant the exception, Nasdaq staff will consider QELP's: specific circumstances, including the likelihood that the 10-Q can be filed within the exception period; past compliance history; reasons for the late filing; partnership events that may occur within the exception period; general financial status; and disclosures to the market.

If Nasdaq staff determines that it is not appropriate to provide the Partnership with an exception, it will provide written notice that the Partnership's securities will be delisted. At that time, QELP may appeal the decision to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.
