About
Expand Energy Corp. was formed out of the $7.4 billion merger of Chesapeake Energy Corp. and Southwestern Energy Co.
Combined, Expand Energy replaces EQT as the largest U.S. natural gas producer, with large footprints in the Appalachia and Haynesville shale basins.
Headquartered in Oklahoma City, Expand Energy’s operations are focused on discovering and developing its large and geographically diverse resource base of unconventional oil and natural gas assets onshore in the U.S. The company also owns oil and natural gas marketing and natural gas gathering and compression businesses.
