Chesapeakes average realized pricing differentials to NYMEX during the second quarter were a negative $6.19 per bbl and a negative $0.84 per mcf. Realized gains and losses from oil and natural gas hedging activities during the quarter generated a $5.71 loss per bbl and a $2.08 gain per mcf, for a 2006 second quarter realized hedging gain of $257.4 million, or $1.80 per mcfe. Chesapeakes total realized hedging gains in the first half of 2006 were $505.6 million, or $1.81 per mcfe. Chesapeake has hedged a substantial level of its production through 2008 in order to capture attractive returns from recent acquisitions and to help secure strong margins and profitability on the companys drilling program. The following tables compare Chesapeakes hedged production volumes (including only swaps and also including the hedges assumed in the CNR acquisition) as of July 27, 2006 to those as of June 5, 2006.

Chesapeakes average realized pricing differentials to NYMEX during the fourth quarter were a negative $4.59 per bbl and a negative $2.86 per mcf. Realized losses from oil and natural gas hedging activities during the quarter generated a $2.72 loss per bbl and a $2.28 loss per mcf, for a 2005 fourth quarter realized hedging loss of $275.1 million, or $2.11 per mcfe.
Average prices realized during the full-year 2005 (including realized gains or losses from oil and gas derivatives, but excluding unrealized gains or losses on such derivatives) were $47.77 per bbl and $6.78 per mcf, for a realized gas equivalent price of $6.90 per mcfe. Chesapeakes average realized pricing differentials to NYMEX during 2005 were a negative $4.29 per bbl and a negative $1.26 per mcf.
