CHK’s Successful Business Strategy Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 CHK’s Successful Business Strategy Following operational failures and oil/gas price collapse in the late 1990s, CHK revamped its business strategy and for the past 7 years has executed a simple and highly effective business strategy: Balanced growth through acquisitions and the drillbit Focus on long-lived, low-decline, onshore US gas reserves that have become much more valuable over time Rediscover the lost art of deep gas exploration through new investments in people, land and seismic in the right areas Regional consolidation to generate operating scale, maintain low operating and administrative costs and deliver high returns CHK’s scale in its core areas is a real competitive advantage and has created negotiating power, informational advantages and attracted top industry talent Concentration on gas One of the first companies to recognize and capitalize on tightening supply/demand fundamentals and permanent upward shift in gas prices that began in ’99 Today the #1 gas resource play in America: 8.4 mm net acres, nearly 28,000 drillsites, most active drilling program in the U.S. CHK has benefited from substantial first mover advantages and has built the #1 U.S. natural gas resource base

CHK’s Business Strategy Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 CHK’s Business Strategy Growth through acquisitions Acquire, exploit, extend and explore Growth through the drillbit Onshore domestic U.S. Regional consolidation Prefer “PIMBY” areas to “NIMBY” areas Gas, gas, gas Onshore, in the U.S.A., lots of it

Keys To Being A Successful Acquirer Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Keys To Being A Successful Acquirer Focus Know what you want to buy, where you want to buy it and how you want to buy it Experience Inexperienced or occasional buyers generally do not succeed. CHK has a consistent approach to acquiring and assimilating acquisitions. CHK is always in the market and has ≈ 50 people working full-time on acquisition integration Operational Skill Must be able to operate acquired properties more efficiently than sellers. Significant operating scale and attention to detail are the keys to achieving efficiencies Drillbit Expertise Must be able to accurately assess, accelerate and deliver upside from PUDs, probables, possibles and exploration opportunities CHK has executed more acquisition transactions in the past seven years than any other E&P company – experience helps prevent mistakes!

Acquisition Margins Best Ever Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Acquisition Margins Best Ever 7-year CAGR Average yearly gas price Acquisition cost – per mcfe 21.1% Net margin between cost and gas price $6.16 $6.14 27.5% $4.37 $3.78 $3.05 $3.00 12.2% $1.79 $1.12 $1.56 Oil and gas price increases have far outpaced acquisition cost increases Margins matter, not per mcfe sticker price

Why is CHK the #1 Driller in the U.S.? Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Why is CHK the #1 Driller in the U.S.? Most active driller in U.S. by a wide margin 76 operated rigs currently drilling (plus 84 non-operated rigs drilling) CHK gathers ≈10% of all the daily drilling information generated in America This is a distinct competitive advantage 1/4 of rigs drilling to targets > 15,000’; 1/2 between 10-15,000’; 1/4 < than 10,000’ Drill more deep onshore wells than anyone in the industry Also one of the leading horizontal drillers in the industry If properly executed, good drilling easily generates the highest returns on capital: 100%+ vs. 20-25% acquisitions However, creating value through the drillbit today is difficult You had to start getting ready 5 years ago Quality land, people and seismic are scarce resources Over the past 7 years, CHK has invested over $3 billion to build the industry’s largest inventories of U.S. leasehold (8.4 mm net acres) and 3-D seismic (11.6 mm acres)(1) First mover in acquiring the land, people and seismic to support future growth Amassed > 10-year inventory of nearly 28,000 drill sites Only company in the Barnett, Woodford, Caney, Fayetteville and Devonian Shale plays in the U.S. CHK is uniquely positioned to transfer and apply technology, information and geoscience knowledge base across all operating regions (1) Includes acquisitions announced on 1/17/06

Balanced Production Growth Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Balanced Production Growth 1,418 mmcfe/day 2005 Q4 Average Production 529 mmcfe/day acquisition production growth (48% of growth) Total production has increased 1,099 mmcfe/day in 20 quarters, or 35% CAGR 570 mmcfe/day drillbit production growth (52% of growth) 23% CAGR through the drillbit 319 mmcfe/day 152 mmcfe/day drillbit production maintenance 20% initial base decline rate 167 mmcfe/day base production 10% current base decline rate We believe CHK’s operating performance since January 2001 has been the best among the 20 largest E&P companies During this time, our production has more than quadrupled, with over half of this growth coming from the drillbit Through the drillbit only, CHK has created a top 20 U.S. gas producer from scratch in past 5 years

Large and Growing Gas Reserve Base Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Large and Growing Gas Reserve Base # Total proved and non-proved reserves (3P)(1) 16,558 Non-proved reserve potential Proved undeveloped (PUD’s) 8,800 Proved developed (PD’s) 8,800 unproved Bcfe 8,902 4,000 7,758 proved 3,169 2,205 1,780 1,206 1,355 CHK’s deep inventory of projects helps assure repeatable, low risk value creation As of 12/31/05 and pro forma for acquisitions announced on 1/17/06

CHK: The #1 U.S. Gas Resource Play Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 CHK: The #1 U.S. Gas Resource Play Net Acreage (8.4 million acres) Drillsites (27,900 gross wells) Positioned for strong sustainable growth Over ten-year inventory of nearly 28,000 drillsites to develop 2.8 tcfe of proved undeveloped reserves and 8.8 tcfe of non-proved reserves Conventional gas resource Unconventional gas resource Emerging gas resource Appalachian gas resource Proved Undeveloped Reserves (2.8 tcfe) Non-Proved Reserves (8.8 tcfe) Continue to actively expand all play types with ≈ 500,000 acres acquired in 4Q05 through aggressive land acquisition program utilizing >900 contract land brokers in the field Most recently, CNR acquisition opens up multiple unconventional shale, tight sand and CBM plays in Appalachia During the past 7 years, CHK has amassed the #1 U.S. gas resource play in the industry. We are in every important gas resource play in the U.S. east of the Rockies

Why Regionally Consolidate? Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Why Regionally Consolidate? Most E&P companies asset bases are too diversified, too spread out Result is often operational mediocrity – sometimes incoherent corporate strategy and resulting investor unease about the future CHK believes top-tier business success can only be achieved by being better at one thing than everyone else – for CHK, that’s onshore in the southwest U.S. and in the Appalachian Basin Scale brings many benefits: Negotiating power: CHK demands and receives best prices and best services from service industry Information advantages: CHK receives > 50% of all drilling information generated in the Mid-Continent. There is tremendous value in this unique and sustainable competitive advantage Attracting talent: The best geologists, engineers, and landmen want to work where the action is Our strategy is clear, concise and consistent. What we do has worked, is working and should keep working for the foreseeable future CHK’s operating areas are still very fragmented and in the years ahead likely to produce further consolidation opportunities

Why Has CHK Focused on Gas Since 1998? Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Why Has CHK Focused on Gas Since 1998? Our operating strategy failure in the mid-90’s taught us that: Significant new reserves of U.S. natural gas would be more difficult to find Finding costs would accelerate over time Depletion rates would accelerate over time Boom in gas fired power plants would cause a train wreck over time We thought that supply/demand fundamentals would steadily improve Demand trendline would be up 1-3% per year, supply trendline would be down 0-2% per year In pricing: higher highs, higher lows – the trend would be our friend Volatility is high and likely to increase. We love gas price volatility – why? Weather has played a key role in remarkable recent volatility Volatility creates opportunity to hedge unusually high prices that generate unusually high returns Volatility reduces investment in the industry, which dampens supply Volatility helps unlock the option value embedded in long-life reserves This option value is a key “x” factor enhancing the value of long-lived assets and it comes free with acquisitions LNG is a risk to be monitored But, our view is that U.S. gas prices will need to approximate BTU parity with world oil prices to attract LNG imports in the 2009 and beyond time frame Worldwide liquefaction capacity rather than U.S. regas capacity will be the bottleneck U.S. natural gas production curve today is similar to U.S. oil production curve in the 1970’s: a peak, then a steady decline regardless of price increases and technology improvements

Current Oil & Gas Market Thoughts Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Current Oil & Gas Market Thoughts

Drivers of Future Oil and Gas Prices Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Drivers of Future Oil and Gas Prices Oil and natural gas is increasingly difficult and expensive to find, all across the globe – and we are consuming 31 billion bbls/year World population growth will continue until at least 2050, increasing by approx. 50% – that’s 3 billion more energy consumers (10x current USA population) 50% of today’s population (mostly Asia) is rapidly industrializing, and rapidly expanding energy consumption Average U.S. oil consumption per capita: 25.3 bbls/year 2003 Average Korean oil consumption per capita: 17.7 bbls/year 2003 Average Japanese oil consumption per capita: 15.6 bbls/year 2003 Average Chinese oil consumption per capita: 1.8 bbls/year 2003 Average Indian oil consumption per capita: 0.9 bbls/year 2003 When urbanized Chinese (40%) and Indians (30%) reach same per capita consumption as Japanese/Koreans average today, the world will consume 42% more oil than today – where will 35 million new bbls/day come from? How quickly will China and India get there? The Great Debate: How close are we to a peak of worldwide crude production?

Drivers of Future Oil and Gas Prices, Part II Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Drivers of Future Oil and Gas Prices, Part II In addition to Asia, the U.S. and others will also continue to grow – remember, the U.S. adds the equivalent of a new Texas every 7-8 years in population and energy demand Despite the obvious need for massive new resources of oil and natural gas, futures markets and most investors/analysts believe that lower oil and gas prices are inevitable although this is changing before our eyes Why so much denial of what appear to be easily visible trends? Energy has not been expensive for 20 years (almost half of U.S. population has never known anything other than cheap energy) It’s inconvenient to think about the implications of energy prices – every thing you own and do today is predicated on cheap energy Policies favoring cheap energy and a pristine environment are often in conflict Technology will save us – maybe, but much higher prices will be needed to drive the needed increases in energy technology investment Bush’s inaugural “Freedom from Tyranny” policy is bullish for energy prices If he’s right, strong demand increases will overwhelm supply increases If he’s wrong, supply will be at risk for a long time Hurricanes Katrina and Rita demonstrate the folly of putting too many of our energy infrastructure eggs in one (very fragile) basket And finally, when will peace, love and harmony break out in oil producing regions of the world?

Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Where to From Here?

Ten Questions to Ponder Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Ten Questions to Ponder Can LNG gas supply accretion (from a 2.5 bcf/day base in ‘05) overcome continuing U.S./Canada gas supply depletion (from a 70 bcf/day current base)? Will all (or enough) spot cargoes of LNG come to the U.S. and at what price? Will LNG importers have financial motivation to undercut U.S. gas prices at the moment of importation? When will we build gas pipeline from McKenzie Delta Alaska? How much of the McKenzie gas gets past Canadian oil sands projects? Should Alaska gas be liquefied instead? What happens if energy demand in India and China (40% of the world’s population) increases by 35 million bbls/day in next 15 years? How will U.S. resolve its public policy conflicts between cheap energy vs. a pristine environment? Will world oil production peak? When? ’06, ’10, ’15? Ever? After an oil production peak, how much stranded gas becomes converted to liquids rather than to LNG? How high do oil/natural gas prices have to rise to cut short economic growth? How will Iraq and Iran play out and what happens if (or when?) House of Saud falls? At what prices for oil and gas are you willing to change your consumption habits?

Certain Reserve & Production Information Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Certain Reserve & Production Information The Securities and Exchange Commission has generally permitted oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We use the terms “probable,” “possible” and “non-proved” reserves, reserve “potential” or “upside” or other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC’s guidelines may prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the company. Our production forecasts are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the outcome of future drilling activity. Also, our internal estimates of reserves, particularly those in our recent acquisitions where we may have limited review of data or experience with the properties, may be subject to revision and may be different from those estimates by our external reservoir engineers at year-end. Although we believe the expectations, estimates and forecasts reflected in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions and data or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties.

Forward-Looking Statements Gas Well Deliquification Workshop – 2-27-2006 Forward-Looking Statements This report 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 give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. They include estimates of oil and gas reserves, expected oil and gas production and future expenses, projections of future oil and gas prices, planned capital expenditures for drilling, leasehold acquisitions and seismic data, and statements concerning anticipated cash flow and liquidity, our business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, including our planned common stock offering. In addition, statements concerning the fair value of derivative contracts and their estimated contribution to our future results of operations are based upon market information as of a specific date. These market prices are subject to significant volatility. Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results are described under “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-12 of the Prospectus Supplement dated December 8, 2005 we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2005. They include the volatility of oil and gas prices, adverse effects our substantial indebtedness and preferred stock obligations could have on our operations and future growth and on our ability to make debt service and preferred stock dividend payments as they become due, our ability to compete effectively against strong independent oil and gas companies and majors, the availability of capital on an economic basis to fund reserve replacement costs, uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil and gas reserves and projecting future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures, our ability to replace reserves and sustain production, uncertainties in evaluating oil and gas reserves of acquired properties and associated potential liabilities, unsuccessful exploration and development drilling, declines in the values of our oil and gas properties resulting in ceiling test write-downs, lower prices realized on oil and gas sales and collateral required to secure hedging liabilities resulting from our commodity price risk management activities, drilling and operating risks, and the loss of key personnel. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to update this information. We urge you to carefully review and consider the disclosures made in this presentation and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business.
