Looks like he wants to sell a lot of CHK to Asian investors.  Fine, but how do they get the gas?  Do we have enough export capacity for LNG???

.

"We are presently owned by a group of investors who don't think gas prices are ever going above $4,"  McClendon said last week in an interview in Oklahoma City, where Chesapeake is based.  "I want to be owned by investors who live in a part of the world that believes gas prices will never go below $10."

HANG,

That's the Billion Dollar Question... 

DOW Chemical President doesn't want "export" of LNG...  DOW Chemical will fight LNG exports...

DOW Chemical wants any "nat gas" product to be "exported" as "solid" forms...

Liveris said:  "We are all for exporting natural gas...We just want to see it exported in solid form instead of liquid form."

Looks like Mr. Chesapeake and Mr. Dow will be butting heads...

At least Someone sees a bigger picture for the "demand" side of Our Nat Gas Glut.  It's a plus sign for nat gas prices going north a little.  But it's going to be a looooong bumpy road ahead I fear for 2012.

It seems like No one knows what to do with Our Nat Gas Bounty.  But Store It~   LOL

humm .... I worked at the Dow Chemical plant outside of Baton Rouge when I was in college in about  1974.  Somewhere i've got my old plant ID.  I worked short-line railroad construction inside the plant.  You would not believe the number of plant evacuations we had - and there were union jurisdictional issues happening and guys were bringing guns to work.  It was insane. So I moved to the French Quarter in New Orleans and spent about a year resting and recuperating :)

I would not trade anything for my time in the French Quarter.  It was great to live at Rampart and Dumaine and work on Bourbon St. It was my last fun period of irresponsibility ... until now :)

But, these days, "fun" is going out into the woods with my dog and checking if a stream is flooding. lol!
