Where EXE is headed

Expand Energy is the biggest natural gas producer in the United States, and that fact matters more in 2027 than it did the day the Chesapeake-Southwestern merger closed. Roughly 7 Bcf/d of net production sitting across the Marcellus, Haynesville, and Utica, with the Haynesville acreage geographically married to the Gulf Coast LNG buildout and the Marcellus positioned to feed the PJM datacenter corridor. Two demand curves are converging on the same molecule at the same time, and only a handful of producers have the drilled-uncompleted inventory to answer the call within 18 months.
