Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: EXE) is a U.S.-based independent natural gas producer engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The companys core operations are concentrated in four major shale plays: the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, the Marcellus and Utica Shales in Ohio and West Virginia, and the Haynesville and Bossier Shales in Louisiana and Texas. The Haynesville and Bossier shales in particular are known for their proximity to Gulf Coast LNG export infrastructure, which has grown in strategic importance amid rising global demand for natural gas. The firm was founded in 1989, is headquartered in Spring, Texas, and was renamed from Chesapeake Energy Corporation to Expand Energy Corporation in October 2024, reflecting its sharpened focus on natural gas and NGL production following the merger with Southwestern Energy.
