6TH ANNUAL GLOBAL HUNTER 100 CONFERENCE

June 23, 2015


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

• This presentation includes "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are statements other than statements of historical fact that give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. They

include production forecasts, estimates of operating costs, assumptions regarding future natural gas and liquids prices, planned drilling activity, anticipated asset sales

and related adjustments, reductions in leverage, estimates of future capital expenditures, estimates of recoverable resources, projected rates of return and expected

efficiency gains, as well as projected cash flow, inventory levels and capital efficiency, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations. Although

we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct.

They can be affected by inaccurate or changed assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties.

• Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include those described under "Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report on

Form 10-K and any updates to those factors set forth in Chesapeake's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K (available at

http://www.chk.com/investors/sec-filings). These risk factors include: the volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices; write-downs of our oil and natural gas carrying

values due to declines in prices; the availability of operating cash flow and other funds to finance reserve replacement costs; our ability to replace reserves and sustain

production; uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves and projecting future rates of production and the amount and timing of

development expenditures; our ability to generate profits or achieve targeted results in drilling and well operations; leasehold terms expiring before production can be

established; commodity derivative activities resulting in lower prices realized on oil, natural gas and NGL sales; the need to secure derivative liabilities and the inability

of counterparties to satisfy their obligations; adverse developments or losses from pending or future litigation and regulatory proceedings, including royalty claims; the

limitations our level of indebtedness may have on our financial flexibility; charges incurred in response to market conditions and in connection with actions to reduce

financial leverage and complexity; drilling and operating risks and resulting liabilities; effects of environmental protection laws and regulation on our business;

legislative and regulatory initiatives further regulating hydraulic fracturing; our need to secure adequate supplies of water for our drilling operations and to dispose of or

recycle the water used; federal and state tax proposals affecting our industry; potential OTC derivatives regulation limiting our ability to hedge against commodity price

fluctuations; impacts of potential legislative and regulatory actions addressing climate change; competition in the oil and gas exploration and production industry; a

deterioration in general economic, business or industry conditions; negative public perceptions of our industry; limited control over properties we do not operate;

pipeline and gathering system capacity constraints and transportation interruptions; cyber attacks adversely impacting our operations; and interruption in operations at

our headquarters due to a catastrophic event.

• Disclosures concerning the estimated contribution of derivative contracts to our future results of operations are based upon market information as of a specific date.

These estimates and underlying market prices are subject to significant volatility. Our production forecasts are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates

of production decline rates from existing wells and the outcome of future drilling activity. Expected asset sales may not be completed in the time frame anticipated or at

all. References to “EUR” (estimated ultimate recovery) and “resources” include estimates of quantities of natural gas, oil and NGL we believe will ultimately be

produced, but that are not yet classified as “proved reserves,” as defined in SEC regulations. Estimates of unproved resources are by their nature more speculative

than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized by Chesapeake. We believe our estimates of

unproved resources are reasonable, but our estimates have not been reviewed by independent engineers. Estimates of unproved resources may change significantly

as development provides additional data, and actual quantities that are ultimately recovered may differ substantially from prior estimates.

• We caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to

update any of the information provided in this presentation, except as required by applicable law.

D&C Capex Reduction from Feb'15 Rigs

• = Actual 1Q’15 results

LOWER 2015 CAPEX AND ACTIVITY

Note: Data above based on Outlook issued 5/6/2015

• ~45% reduction in total capex vs. 2014; >30% reduction in D&C capex

• ~$6 billion of budgeted liquidity at YE’15 with a combination of cash on balance

sheet and an undrawn credit facility


EAGLE FORD LOW-COST VALUE GENERATION

• 1Q’15 operational updates

˃ 600 – 700 incremental wells added to undrilled inventory following successful down spacing tests

˃ First 5 wells with 10,000’+ laterals drilled in 1Q’15

˃ 7% sequential production increase to 113 mboe/d

˃ Currently at seven rigs, transitioning to 3 by 2Q’15

˃ 105 1Q’15 TILs had average peak rate of 763 boe/d

• Strategic priorities

˃ Take advantage of lower activity levels to optimize field development planning

˃ Front-loaded development planning with focus on prioritizing wells with >10,000’ laterals

˃ Incorporate tighter well spacing into development plan, avoiding lost opportunities

Well Cost ($ in mm)


EAGLE FORD DRIVING CAPITAL EFFICIENCY WITH LONGER LATERALS

• Field development planning focused on prioritizing longer lateral wells

• Successfully drilled five wells with laterals >10,000’ in 1Q’15

• One 10,000’ lateral well pays out twice as fast as two 5,000’ lateral wells

˃ Doubled commercial Haynesville area

˃ Commercialization of the Bossier Shale

˃ 4% sequential production increase to 616 mmcf/d

˃ 17 1Q’15 wells had average peak rate of

15.4 mmcf/d

˃ Six rigs currently, dropping to three by YE’15


˃ Transition to 100% implementation of enhanced

stimulation technique

˃ Prioritize Haynesville and Bossier development

with 7,500’ laterals

˃ Testing 10,000’ design in 4Q’15


HAYNESVILLE NEW WELL DESIGNS ARE EXPANDING THE PLAY

• Increased lateral lengths and enhanced stimulations have expanded the core of the play

˃ EUR expected to increase 200%

˃ Expected 42% reduction in cost per lateral foot

˃ 50% improvement in capital efficiency expected

• Enhanced stimulation design makes lower quality reservoirs economic and increases our available location count
