PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS DATED AUGUST 3, 2010

$600,000,000 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018
$1,400,000,000 6.625% Senior Notes due 2020

We are offering $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes, consisting of $600,000,000 of
our 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and $1,400,000,000 of our 6.625% Senior Notes due 2020 (together, the
"notes"). We will pay interest on the notes semiannually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, beginning
on February 15, 2011, to the holders of record at the close of business on the preceding February 1
and August 1, respectively. The 2018 notes will mature on August 15, 2018 and the 2020 notes will mature on
August 15, 2020. The notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our existing subsidiaries,
(other than the Chesapeake Midstream Companies, which are more fully described herein, and certain de minimis
subsidiaries) and certain of our future subsidiaries, subject to our right, more fully described herein, to obtain the
release of such guarantees under certain circumstances. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of
Chesapeake and will rank equally in right of payment with all of Chesapeake's existing and future senior debt and
senior to any subordinated debt that it may incur. The notes will be effectively subordinated to the existing and
future secured debt and other secured obligations of Chesapeake and the subsidiary guarantors, including debt
under our corporate revolving bank credit facility and our multi-counterparty secured hedging facility, to the extent
of the value of the assets securing amounts outstanding under such facilities. The notes will also be effectively
subordinated to the debt of any non-guarantor subsidiaries, including the obligations of the Chesapeake
Midstream Companies under the midstream credit facility described herein.
The 2018 notes and the 2020 notes will be treated as separate series of debt securities under the same
indenture. We may redeem some or all of the 2018 notes at any time on or after August 15, 2013 at the
redemption prices listed in this prospectus supplement under "Description of Notes--Optional Redemption," plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In addition, we may redeem some or all of either
series of notes at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a "make-
whole" premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, described in this prospectus
supplement under "Description of Notes--Optional Redemption." If we or certain of our subsidiaries enter into
certain sale-leaseback transactions and do not reinvest the proceeds or repay certain senior debt, we must offer
to repurchase the notes.
Investing in the notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-11.

Chesapeake
We are one of the largest producers of natural gas in the United States. We own interests in approximately 44,400
producing natural gas and oil wells that are currently producing approximately 2.9 billion cubic feet equivalent, or bcfe,
per day, 89% of which is natural gas. Our strategy is focused on discovering and developing unconventional natural gas
and oil fields onshore in the U.S., primarily in our "Big 6" shale plays: the Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth Basin of
north-central Texas, the Haynesville and Bossier Shales in the Ark-La-Tex area of northwestern Louisiana and East
Texas, the Fayetteville Shale in the Arkoma Basin of central Arkansas, the Marcellus Shale in the northern Appalachian
Basin of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York and the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. We also have substantial
operations in the Granite Wash Plays of western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle regions as well as various other
plays, both conventional and unconventional, in the Mid-Continent, Appalachian Basin, Permian Basin, Delaware Basin,
South Texas, Texas Gulf Coast and Ark-La-Tex regions of the U.S. We have vertically integrated our operations and
own substantial midstream, compression, drilling and oilfield service assets.
We announced earlier this year that we are extending our strategy to apply the horizontal drilling expertise we have
gained in our natural gas plays to unconventional oil reservoirs. Our goal is to reach a balanced mix of natural gas and
liquids revenue as quickly as possible through organic drilling, rather than through acquisitions. The transition is already
apparent in the mix of natural gas and oil and natural gas liquids wells we are drilling. In 2010, we expect that
approximately 32% of our drilling and completion capital expenditures will be allocated to liquids plays, compared to
10% in 2009, and we are projecting that these expenditures will reach 55% in 2012. Our production of oil and natural gas
liquids has been increasing in 2010 as we develop our new unconventional oil plays, particularly in the Granite Wash
and the Eagle Ford Shale. We have built leasehold positions and established production in 12 disclosed and other
undisclosed liquids-rich plays. We now own approximately 2.4 million net leasehold acres in liquids-rich plays.
We began 2010 with estimated proved reserves of 14.254 trillion cubic feet equivalent, or tcfe, and ended the first
half of 2010 with 15.459 tcfe, an increase of 1.205 tcfe, or 8.5%. During the first half of 2010, we replaced 487 bcfe of
production with an internally estimated 1.692 tcfe of new proved reserves, for a reserve replacement rate of 348%.
Proved reserve movement in the first half of 2010 included 2.226 tcfe of extensions, 428 bcfe of positive performance
revisions and 121 bcfe of positive revisions resulting from an increase in the twelve-month trailing average natural gas
and oil prices between December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010. During the first half of 2010, we acquired 35 bcfe of
estimated proved reserves and divested 1.118 tcfe of estimated proved reserves.

During the first half of 2010, we continued the industry's most active drilling program, drilling 687 gross operated
wells (440 net wells with an average working interest of 64%) and participating in another 562 gross wells operated by
other companies (73 net wells with an average working interest of 13%). The company's drilling success rate was 99%
for both company-operated wells and non-operated wells. Also during the first half of 2010, we invested $2.003 billion
in operated wells (using an average of 122 operated rigs) and $303 million in non-operated wells (using an average of
108 non-operated rigs) for total drilling, completing and equipping costs of $2.306 billion (net of carries).
Our total production for the first half of 2010 was 486.6 bcfe, comprised of 436.8 bcf of natural gas (90% on a
natural gas equivalent basis) and 8.3 million barrels (mmbbls) of oil and natural gas liquids (10% on a natural gas
equivalent basis). Daily production for the first half of 2010 averaged 2.688 bcfe, an increase of 278 mmcfe, or 12%,
over the 2.410 bcfe produced per day in the first half of 2009.
Since 2000, we have built the largest combined inventories of onshore leasehold (13.9 million net acres as of June
30, 2010) and 3-D seismic (25.5 million acres as of June 30, 2010) in the U.S. and the largest inventory of U.S. natural
gas shale play leasehold (2.8 million net acres as of June 30, 2010), and we now own the largest inventory of leasehold
in two of the Top 3 new unconventional liquids-rich plays--the Eagle Ford Shale and the Niobara Shale. We are
currently using 133 operated drilling rigs to further develop our inventory of approximately 40,000 net drillsites.
We are an Oklahoma corporation. Our principal offices are located at 6100 North Western Avenue, Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma 73118, and our telephone number is 405-848-8000.
