据1月20日NS energy报道，美国页岩气生产商切萨皮克能源公司正在就以近24亿美元（包括债务）的价格收购Chief Oil & Gas公司进行深入谈判。
路透社表示，双方最早可能在本周宣布这项交易。
Chief Oil & Gas成立于1994年，是一家位于美国的私营独立石油和天然气勘探和生产公司。自2007年以来，该公司一直参与位于宾夕法尼亚州东北部Marcellus页岩石油和天然气储备的勘探和生产。据悉，2020年，该公司在Marcellus页岩的天然气总产量达到了两万亿立方英尺里程碑。
2021年10月公布的报告显示，在能源价格上涨导致石油和天然气行业的企业估值上升后，该公司将被出售。
该交易如果执行，将标志着切萨皮克能源公司在最近一段时间内实现第二次收购。2021年11月，这家页岩生产商完成了之前宣布的22亿美元对Vine能源公司的收购，该公司专注于开发位于路易斯安那州西北部Haynesville和Besisier-Bassier-Stand的天然气资产。
据称，通过Vine能源公司，该公司已经加强了其在Haynesville页岩的地位，增加了900多个钻探地点。
值得一提的是，切萨皮克能源公司已于2021年2月脱离破产保护，当时已将约78亿美元的债务股权化。

Chesapeake Energy on verge of acquiring Chief Oil & Gas for $2.4bn
US shale gas producer Chesapeake Energy is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire Chief Oil & Gas for a sum of nearly $2.4bn, including debt.
The parties could announce the deal as early as this week, reported Reuters, citing undisclosed sources with knowledge of the matter.
Founded in 1994, Chief Oil & Gas is a US-based privately-owned, independent, oil and natural gas exploration and production firm.
Since 2007, the company has been involved in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas reserves located in the Marcellus shale in northeastern Pennsylvania. In 2020, Chief Oil & Gas is said to have achieved a gross production milestone of two trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas in the Marcellus shale.
In October 2021, the publication reported that the company was up for sale following the increase in energy prices which resulted in an increase in corporate valuations in the oil and gas industry.
The deal, if executed, will mark the second acquisition for Chesapeake Energy in recent times. In November 2021, the shale gas producer had closed the previously announced $2.2bn acquisition of Vine Energy, which is focused on developing natural gas assets in the over-pressured stacked Haynesville and Mid-Bossier shale plays located in Northwest Louisiana
Through Vine Energy, the company is said to have bolstered its position in the Haynesville Shale with more than 900 additional drilling locations.
Chesapeake Energy had emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February 2021 and had equitized around $7.8bn of debt at that time.
