Guest Post: Corporate Hubris Humbles Chesapeake – Cabot Soars Sure & Steady

The following guest post is from MDN subscriber and friend, Chris Acker. Every day Chris sends MDN editor Jim Willis a list of items he notices in the news that may be of interest to MDN readers, and Jim includes many of them. The MDN service is made better because of readers like Chris—and we publicly thank him. Chris owns property in Susquehanna County, PA, which is leased with Cabot Oil & Gas. He looks forward to the day when his property is drilled by Cabot. In the meantime, Chris watches Cabot (and other drillers) and keeps tabs on their operational and financial health. Chris points out in his post below that for the first time in many years, Cabot Oil & Gas’ market capitalization has exceeded that of Chesapeake Energy. Chesapeake is the country’s second largest natural gas driller with revenues many times that of Cabot—so this is a true milestone.
