  • CHESAPEAKE ENERGY CORP Profile

    Chesapeake Energy knows the peaks and valleys of the oil and gas business. The independent exploration and production company concentrates on building natural gas reserves through acquisitions in the US midcontinent region. This region accounts for the vast majority of the company's estimated proved reserves of 10.9 trillion cu. ft. of natural gas equivalent, but Chesapeake also has assets along the Gulf Coast, in the Permian Basin, and in the Ark-La-Tex region. In 2007 it owned 38,500 producing oil and natural gas wells that produce 2.2 billion cu. ft. of natural gas equivalent per day, 92% of which was natural gas.
