Deal rationale and strategic fit

  • Acquisition expands core Marcellus Shale position by 385,000 net acres, adding over 400 high-quality drilling locations and extending inventory life by 5 years at maintenance capital levels.

  • Divestiture of non-core Ohio Utica Shale assets allows redeployment of capital to higher-return Marcellus operations, high-grading the asset base.

  • Vertically integrated structure and complementary midstream assets enhance operational control, efficiency, and cost optimization.

  • Strengthens position as a leading liquids developer and provides dry gas optionality for future demand from power generation and data centers.

  • Combined position supports multi-decade inventory and sustained Appalachian growth.

  • Upstream business acquired for $2.8 billion plus hedge book; midstream business acquired for $1.1 billion.

  • Divestiture of Utica upstream assets for $800 million and midstream assets for $400 million.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
