| Southwestern Energy Company is a growing independent energy company primarily engaged in natural gas and crude oil exploration, development and production within North America. We are also focused on creating and capturing additional value through our natural gas gathering and marketing businesses, which we refer to as Midstream Services. Exploration and Production - Our primary business is the exploration for and production of natural gas within North America, with our current operations being principally focused on development of the unconventional gas reservoir located on the Arkansas side of the Arkoma Basin, which we refer to as the Fayetteville Shale play. We are also actively engaged in exploration and production activities in Oklahoma, Texas, Pennsylvania, and New Brunswick, Canada. We primarily conduct our exploration and production operations through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, SEECO, Inc. and Southwestern Energy Production Company, or SEPCO. SEECO has historically operated exclusively in Arkansas. It holds a large base of both developed and undeveloped gas reserves in Arkansas and conducts the drilling programs for the Fayetteville Shale play and the conventional drilling program in the Arkansas part of the Arkoma Basin. SEPCO conducts development drilling and exploration programs in the Oklahoma portion of the Arkoma Basin, Texas, and Pennsylvania. DeSoto Drilling, Inc., or DDI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEPCO, operates drilling rigs in the Fayetteville Shale play and in East Texas. Midstream Services - Our Midstream Services segment primarily supports our E&P operations and is currently concentrated on the Fayetteville Shale play. Midstream Services generates revenue from gathering fees associated with the transportation of natural gas to market and through the marketing of our own gas production and some third-party natural gas. We engage in gas gathering activities in Arkansas and Texas through our gathering subsidiaries, DeSoto Gathering Company, L.L.C. and Angelina Gathering Company, L.L.C. Our gas marketing subsidiary, Southwestern Energy Services Company, or SES, captures downstream opportunities which arise through marketing and transportation activity. |
