Gas Sales
 
2008 vs. 2007 Gas sales increased $1.7 billion as a result of a 29% increase in our realized price without hedges. This increase was largely due to increases in the regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based.
 
A 77 Bcf increase in production during 2008 caused gas sales to increase by $462 million. Our drilling and development program in the Barnett Shale field in north Texas contributed 83 Bcf to the gas production increase. This increase and the effect of new drilling and development in our other North American properties were partially offset by natural production declines and the deferral of seven Bcf of production in 2008 due to hurricanes.
 
2007 vs. 2006 A 55 Bcf increase in production caused gas sales to increase by $327 million. Our drilling and development program in the Barnett Shale field in north Texas contributed 53 Bcf to the gas production increase. The June 2006 Chief Holdings LLC (“Chief”) acquisition also contributed 12 Bcf of increased production. During 2007, we also began first production from the Merganser field in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, which resulted in seven Bcf of increased production. These increases and the effects of new drilling and development in our other North American properties were partially offset by natural production declines primarily in Canada.
 
A 1% decline in our average realized price without hedges caused gas sales to decrease $52 million in 2007.
