Coterra CEO Praises Shale Revolution, Calls Dimock “Prolific”

Coterra Energy CEO Tom Jorden had a sit-down interview at the 2025 J.P. Morgan Energy, Power, Renewables and Mining Conference on Tuesday of this week. Coterra is the successor company of Cabot Oil & Gas after Cabot merged with Cimarex Energy in October 2021 (see Cimarex Takes Over Cabot, Merged Co. Called “Coterra Energy”). Cabot drilled exclusively for natural gas in the northeast Pennsylvania Marcellus in Susquehanna County. Cimarex drilled in both the Permian (Texas) and Anadarko (Oklahoma) basins. Cimarex was mainly an oil driller. The combined company has the flexibility to allocate money and people to whichever commodity, oil or gas, is turning a better profit. Currently, profitability favors more gas drilling. Jorden had some interesting things to say about his company's Marcellus program.
