Chesapeake
We are the second largest independent producer of natural gas in the United States, owning interests in
approximately 30,600 producing oil and gas wells that are currently producing approximately 1.5 bcfe per day,
92% of which is natural gas. Our strategy is focused on discovering, developing and acquiring onshore natural
gas reserves primarily in the southwestern U.S. and secondarily in the Appalachian Basin of the eastern U.S. Our
most important operating area has historically been the Mid-Continent region of the U.S., which includes
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and the Texas Panhandle, and is where 51% of our proved oil and natural gas
reserves are located. During the past four years, we have also built significant positions in the South Texas and
Texas Gulf Coast regions, the Permian Basin of West Texas and eastern New Mexico, the Barnett Shale area of
north-central Texas, the Ark-La-Tex area of East Texas and northern Louisiana and most recently, the emerging
Fayetteville Shale play located in Arkansas. As a result of our recent acquisition of the holding company of
Columbia Natural Resources, LLC and certain affiliated entities ("CNR"), we now own a significant presence in
the Appalachian Basin, principally in West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, eastern Ohio and southern New York.
As of December 31, 2005, we had 7.5 tcfe of proved reserves, of which 92% are natural gas and all of which are
onshore. During 2005, we replaced our 469 bcfe of production with an internally estimated 3.088 tcfe of new
proved reserves, for a reserve replacement rate of 659%. Reserve replacement through the drillbit was 1.047 tcfe,
or 223% of production (including a positive 17 bcfe from performance revisions and a positive 24 bcfe from oil
and natural gas price increases), and reserve replacement through acquisitions was 2.041 tcfe, or 436% of
production. Our proved reserves grew by 53% during 2005, from 4.9 tcfe to 7.5 tcfe.
During 2005, we led the nation in drilling activity with an average utilization of 73 operated rigs and 66 non-
operated rigs. Through this drilling activity, we drilled 902 (686 net) operated wells and participated in another
1,066 (130 net) wells operated by other companies. We added approximately 1.047 tcfe of proved oil and natural
gas reserves through our drilling efforts. Our success rate was 98% for operated wells and 95% for non-operated
wells. As of December 31, 2005, our proved developed reserves were 65% of our total proved reserves. In 2005,
we added approximately 1,200 new employees and invested $362 million in leasehold (exclusive of leases
acquired through acquisitions) and 3-D seismic data, all of which we consider the building blocks of future value
creation.

Final Prospectus
From January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2005, we have been one of the most active consolidators of onshore
U.S. natural gas assets, having purchased approximately 5.9 tcfe of proved reserves, at a total cost of
approximately $10.3 billion (including $2.2 billion for unproved leasehold, but excluding $809 million of
deferred taxes established in connection with certain corporate acquisitions) for a per proved mcfe acquisition
cost of $1.37.

During 2005, we were especially active in the acquisitions market. Acquisition expenditures totaled $4.9 billion
through December 31, 2005 (including $1.4 billion for unproved leasehold, but excluding $252 million of
deferred taxes established in connection with certain corporate acquisitions). Through these acquisitions, we have
acquired an internally estimated 2.0 tcfe of proved oil and natural gas reserves at a per proved mcfe acquisition
cost of $1.74.

The Exchange Offer

condition to the exchange offer.

transmitted through DTC's automated tender offer program and that DTC
confirm that:
