Report summary
It’s difficult to point to another company that has made more of a widespread impact on the US shale sector than Chesapeake. Chesapeake showed the market – and its competitors – how quickly production could grow, how fast projects could develop, and what the updated US model for engaging with stakeholders looked like. As a part of the bankruptcy filing, Chesapeake will receive nearly US$2.5 billion in new financing. Its lenders have agreed to a new US$1.75 billion credit facility, US$925 million debtor-in-possession financing, a new US$750 million term loan, and a US$600 million rights offering.
