Chesapeake to seek responsibly sourced certification for Lower 48 natural gas production
Thursday, July 15, 2021
Chesapeake Energy recently announced plans to partner with MiQ and Equitable Origin to seek responsibly sourced certification for its Lower 48 natural gas production, according to Natural Gas Intelligence.
The company said it would be “the first company to independently certify and continuously monitor its natural gas production across two major shale gas basins” via the MiQ methane standard and the EO100 Standard for Responsible Energy Development.
Natural gas production across Chesapeake’s Gulf Coast assets, targeting the Haynesville and Bossier Shale formations, will be certified first under the partnership. Then, the company’s Appalachian Basin natural gas production, with a focus on the Marcellus Shale, will be certified.

Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
