2022 Scope 1 GHG emissions are restated herein after a recent EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting resubmittal.
Data and information included in this report were subject to internal review and are believed to be correct at the time of reporting. Data reflects year-end calculations and may include divested assets until divestitures’ closing dates. For certain reporting elements, later changes in categorization could affect data after publication.
(1) For the 2022 reported value and forward taxes incurred will be reported on a net basis.
(2) Calculation methodology revised for 2023 to better reflect accepted industry practice. Historical years shown here have been recalculated utilizing the new methodology interpretation to allow for consistent comparison.
(3) To align with the 10-K filing the employee headcount has been rounded.
(4) The 2021 reported value reflects financial and in-kind contributions.
(5) Emissions estimate developed under the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (operated onshore production).
(6) Chesapeake calculates its reported emissions using EPA eGRID subregion emissions factors.
(7) Chesapeake reports our estimated indirect Scope 3 emissions on an equity basis using Category 11 of the Estimating petroleum industry value chain (Scope 3) greenhouse gas emissions reporting guidance developed by Ipieca / API (2016). The calculation methodology applies the EPA’s emission factors for listed fuel types; representing indirect end use greenhouse gas emissions of the products created from our crude oil and natural gas.
(8) Calculation methodology revised for 2022 reporting to better reflect actual performance. Historical years shown here have been recalculated consistent with the new methodology to allow for consistent comparison.
(9) Volumes reported are based on World Resource Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas annual water stress criteria.
