Epsilon Sues Chesapeake to Drill 4 Marcellus Wells, Court Overrules

Epsilon Energy concentrates most of its effort on the Marcellus in Susquehanna County, PA. Epsilon doesn’t typically do its own drilling. The company joint venture partners with (gives money to) other companies, like Chesapeake Energy, and the other company typically does the drilling. Epsilon, according to its website, owns ~4,000 net acres in the PA Marcellus. Epsilon sued Chesapeake Energy earlier this month over lack of access to drill wells on acreage Chesapeake says it doesn't want to drill. A Texas bankruptcy court judge has tossed Epsilon's lawsuit. Looks like bankruptcy is a "get out of your contracts for free" card for Chesapeake.
