I read this article to be that due to the low price of natural gas that CHK will concentrate on the oil and wet gas plays. I would say that Carroll, southern Stark, Columbian, and a few other counties will benefit the most from this decision. The northern most counties are also on the back burners, for now. The price of gas will go back up as it always does, especially when this part of the country starts using cng for autos and trucks. Selling the gas rich leases is probably a good move on their part and of course the producer that buys them will drill.

I read a long article about this that I can't seem to find. It was on mineralweb.com. Here is the link to the article by Chesapeake that relates to what you heard.....i believe...

I have heard this from 2 different Artex employees. And not sure if they were meaning leaving Muskingum County because of all the preexisting leases that anadarco has through Artex or the whole State.  Just thought someone had some more information.

Chesapeake does seem to have vanished from the area...not sure what is happening - where did you hear this?
