Founded in 1989, Houston-based Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation is an independent gas exploration company with producing properties mainly in the continental U.S. It focuses on high-impact natural gas-focused drilling in the Marcellus Shale. The company sells its products to local distribution companies, industrial clients, power generation facilities, and gas marketers through pipelines and gathering systems. Cabot’s portfolio is spread between low-risk/long reserve-life properties and large-volume/rapid-payout assets, with further variety from large prospect inventories that have a broad mix of production and payout profiles. The firm continues to ramp up its Marcellus program with exceptional results. Over the past few years, the company has divested its oil and gas properties in Haynesville and Eagle Ford plays along with certain pipeline assets in Virginia and Ohio to become a pure Marcellus player, focused in the natural gas production. Since almost all of Cabot’s production comprises natural gas, the company is well placed to capitalize on the growing clean energy demand.
