There is a lot to digest in this massive update. Southwestern, you may recall, added to their already-considerable northeastern Pennsylvania Marcellus holdings by purchasing WPX’s NEPA leases, wells and operations in a $300 million that closed in February of this year (see WPX Finalizes Sale of NEPA Marcellus Leases/Wells to Southwestern).

Late last year Southwestern picked up a massive amount of new acreage and already-drilled wells in the southwestern portion of the Marcellus–most of it in West Virginia–in a $5.375 billion deal with Chesapeake Energy (see Chesapeake Sells Close to 25% of Marcellus/Utica Operation).
