Chesapeake Energy Corp., the U.S. natural gas producer that asked its chief executive officer to resign last week, estimated its spending commitments will exceed cash flow by about $3.5 billion this year.
Chesapeake plans to sell oilfields, gas-processing plants and other assets to cover the funding gap and repay debt, Jeffrey Mobley, vice president of investor relations, said during a presentation at a Credit Suisse Group AG conference today.
