In addition, Chesapeake was ranked as the 14th fastest growing company in Platts’ 2007 Top 250 Global Energy Companies list.

•

Pushing the boundaries of technical excellence and innovation in resource extraction;

•

Bringing in complex or difficult projects on schedule and budget;

•

The award judges commented that they were impressed with Chesapeake’s committed strategy of identifying and developing non-traditional natural gas plays, its ability to successfully execute acquisitions, its strong financial management and performance track-record.

Aubrey K. McClendon, Chesapeake’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are honored to be selected as the Hydrocarbon Producer of the Year and are proud of our accomplishments in building the nation’s largest independent natural gas producer and the nation’s most active drilling program. We are pleased that the hard work and dedication of Chesapeake’s 6,000 employees have been recognized on the world stage and we look forward to continuing to provide substantial new supplies of clean-burning American natural gas in an increasingly energy-short world.”
