- Tuesday, April 16, 10:17 AM The rush to buy acreage in Ohio's Utica shale has reversed, as some of the biggest stakeholders in untapped deposits there - including CHK, DVN, PDCE and EVEP - have put up all or part of their acreage for sale. Early drilling results have showed the oil portion of the Utica isn’t as porous as some other shale formations and is shallower than its gas-filled areas. 4 Comments [Energy]
- Friday, April 12, 6:57 PM Chesapeake Energy (CHK) avoided any fines related to a drilling accident in Wyoming last year that resulted in residential evacuations and the release of pollutants into the environment. Some residents are unhappy with the light treatment, but the head of the state agency responsible for overseeing oil and gas drilling says "accidents will happen." 9 Comments [Energy]
- Thursday, April 11, 8:08 AM Chesapeake Energy (CHK) scored a legal victory yesterday when a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit alleging it misled investors by not disclosing certain liabilities and the personal loans of former CEO Aubrey McClendon. The ruling doesn't signal an end to litigation against CHK, but it is the first to reach a result in at least a dozen lawsuits that make similar claims against CHK and its executives. 1 Comment [Energy]
- Tuesday, April 9, 5:17 PM Chesapeake Energy (CHK) is putting up for sale more than 94K net acres in the Utica shale in Ohio, nearly 10% of the 1M net acres it owns in the formation. The land for sale includes three wells, two of which CHK operates. CHK says it is seeking to sell the land to focus on its other Utica holdings. 2 Comments [Energy]
- Monday, April 8, 7:43 AM Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) declares $0.0875/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 1.77%. For shareholders of record Apr. 15. Payable Apr. 30. Ex-div date Apr. 11. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Monday, April 8, 3:00 AM After saying for two years that it planned to sell its 30% stake in fracking company FTS, Chesapeake (CHK) reportedly intends to keep hold of the asset. The stake was once worth $2B but has fallen in value, hurt by FTS's heavy debt load and a slowdown in gas drilling. Comment! [Energy]
- Friday, April 5, 11:51 AM A buyer's market in oil and gas assets means companies relying on asset sales to strengthen their balance sheets may have to sell more than they intended or take on expensive financing, Jefferies' analysts say. Among those most exposed to the weakness due to funding shortfalls or levered balance sheets: CHK, FST, NFX, SFY, XCO. 3 Comments [Energy]
- Wednesday, April 3, 3:12 PM The Forensic Accounting ETF (FLAG) drops Nike (NKE) and Wal-Mart (WMT) from its portfolio, giving each "F" rankings based on its forensic accounting model. Other "F's" include SNI, XLNX, MOS, and TIF. Those garnering an "A" include CHK, HES, EA and AKAM. Since its Feb. 1 inception, the ETF has matched the S&P's performance. 2 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, April 3, 9:00 AM Chesapeake Energy (CHK) was fined $765K late yesterday by the Department of the Interior for misreporting oil and natural gas sales volumes on royalty reporting forms from May 2011 through July 2012 related to leases in Oklahoma. CHK says the payments at issue totaled less than $500 and intends to request a hearing on the civil penalty. Comment! [Energy]
- Tuesday, April 2, 3:41 PM As Chesapeake Energy (CHK -2.1%) plans some spring cleaning of its portfolio with the hopes of raising $4B-$7B this year, Wells Fargo analysts say CHK’s 20% stake in Chaparral Energy is probably worth ~$280M, which would represent a nice gain from the $178M paid in 2006. Much of the proceeds CHK hopes to raise are expected to come from various small assets, and Chaparral seems to fit the bill. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 2, 9:51 AM As big energy firms buy out smaller rivals in the Marcellus Shale, one side effect is an improving environmental record, according to a WSJ analysis. XOM, CVX and RDS.A average 38 violations for every 100 Marcellus wells drilled; the smallest companies average 132 violations per 100. Experts say this is partly due to the energy giants' financial resources and more rigorous safety protocols. (also) 1 Comment [Energy]
- Monday, April 1, 5:36 PM Morningstar's Mark Hanson likes what he heard on Chesapeake's (CHK) conference call: "They really seem to be turning the corner on [financial] discipline," as interim CEO Steven Dixon expresses "tremendous confidence" CHK's spending will not exceed the planned $6B drilling budget. On CHK's lack of a target date for finding a new CEO, "being prudent is a good thing." 1 Comment [Energy]
- Monday, April 1, 2:58 PM More from Chesapeake's (CHK) conference call: Acting CEO Steven Dixon says CHK had been locking in prices for this year's gas sales and hedging for 2014 at prices "well above $4" per Mbtu. However, the immediate impact will be limited because CHK has already hedged 72% of this year’s expected revenues, after 2012 revenues had been hammered by not hedging before gas prices fell to 10-year lows. (also) 5 Comments [Energy]
- Monday, April 1, 10:28 AM Chespeake Energy (CHK +0.6%) is making progress in cost reductions and is on track for at least operating expenses and G&A expenses to come in at or below budget this year, interim CEO Steven Dixon says on a conference call, expressing "tremendous confidence" that CHK's spending would not exceed its planned drilling budget of ~$6B. 2 Comments [Energy]
- Monday, April 1, 6:54 AM Gastar Exploration (GST) announces it entered into an agreement to buy acreage and reserves from Chesapeake Energy (CHK) in a deal that will help end a dispute between the oil players. GST says it will purchase about 6.8M shares of CHK's stock in it and settle all pending litigation for $85M. 1 Comment [Energy]
- Saturday, March 30, 9:05 AM Chesapeake Energy (CHK) appointed COO Steven Dixon as interim CEO on Friday and made him part of a three-person committee to search for a replacement for Aubrey McClendon, who bid a teary goodbye to employees. “Advanced” negotiations with an unnamed candidate for the top job reportedly broke down yesterday. 7 Comments [Energy]

Asif Suria: It is not an outright sale and GIP picks up a 69% stake in ACMP. You are right that it will require more digging to understand the deal.

Energysystems: Interesting, since GIP holds a significant position in chkm, who planned on spending 5B on pipelines over the next decade.

Energysystems: I wouldn't be suprised if GIP attempted to buy CHK out from it's chkm position, and move to significantly grow chkm in a hurry.
