I the quarter came of bit rest bit of terms your building that deferred shape of sense of a of TILs in And little year? a below drivers start just quite number? how the CapEx a and DUCs, does guidance so want the was on to ahead that schedule and want what CapEx in that what the to get I you're were the for for

Josh Viets

is non-D&C had the lot quarter Yes, was of this under timing good of capital. start a the the is timing to around year. we About off on ended Nitin, a side. Yes, We our for to half just purely Josh. really related and XX% guide up that

from Your Donnes next question will come with Truist. Bert

Bertrand Donnes

look maybe for LNG does focused Or center but what like kind thinking of internationally, you're is looking agreements incremental you're the want you're lower growing a you did those, I mix do you down? your that on slow more It U.S. hypothesis assume just on demand maybe there? had still or any portfolio. data

Domenic Dell'Osso

No, Bert. engaged different actively we're discussions. a of question, Good LNG Yes. number in still

of those lot know, take discussions you a As time.

and it whether concept down. As be slow us us we wouldn't for down, necessarily no, Competition would data great, slow think far competition supply. as will is there the do center

But to pay have that But will be anything. there strategies, where not we And competition think we'll look being markets to and around supply there of changing gas all forward frankly, we'll some that. forward we're we're demand. moving the with that. to our So attention ample

Bertrand Donnes

even outlined, then is and scale gain more program at Southwestern once synergies Or from And you able goes the you do switch everything That maybe getting well more assuming with just midstream? on makes Or buyback hypothetically, larger you point? more you've when have there you're sense. driving to synergies more a focus organic? that that of are that to and

Domenic Dell'Osso

Yes.

execution. of molecule have structure, a to like industrial stay those about think these synergies, inventory is important, are to possible continue at to Southwestern fronts you'd that which talk on what's time efficient to any next meet the think for means our really going logic about those energy. supply to first did cost back having things, point, and growing having your means us that those being and really go have that meet on are helps having deep foremost. a We're ability strategy, in to you're we That with feel say allowed with demands means great to and this you We to goals to things merger I focused talk time. going advance real all the that real the improve markets most able over low

not it would that of big for is meet and or those job pretty really there that going on those We're tremendous of in our while on stay something goals. a here As the need be merger, delivering nonnegotiables that's drive what's would focused something do integration promise hard a you this And else, our to which the for as will have predict to to shareholders. nonnegotiables. towards whether future far meet

Zach Your Parham will next JPMorgan. come question from with

Zachary Parham

I just the curtailment. more get detail little a wanted on to

expect that how in built -- year on You to were the to those XXX XQ. curtailed day much million market? And a the do you in when XXX full a curtailments curtailment highlighted a more Could and you back the be curtailed little maybe in day come you'd curtailing guidance? million you us XQ volumes detail color into give strategy and

Domenic Dell'Osso

and start this I'll pass Josh. to it Yes, then I'll over

a what return comes is the an So deferrals this clearly lot and initial deferrals. of doing as And the the part those about market to in breakeven we activity we fact in trying we we focused production receives an a think of on these year, are are wells environment on don't about significant where pretty price. lower to the market than want and oversupplied, activity market wells, accomplish that remember the of bring to oversupplied talked

of of front QX saw but decline volume curtailed to of in as QX curtailments need don't in had that accelerating that But schedule deferrals deferral in end period occur are have in we deferral and pay results what recognize us, what to throughout we've the time. The the that, We activity the in about would lot So the call that we over activity that in show occurs base choose I that and activity really decline. a into up supply-demand a a to attention we year about more going to the deliver characteristics. flexibility of we're of decline. actual lot market, -- keep

Josh Viets

mean seasons. Zach, the would Yes. Josh. in see it demand is I weakness shoulder in we this that certain customary is markets

set what point, in Nick's then we then of the to the accounted and best a as you on the in for to so had in needs. next And market you to volumes the second curve That's the curtailments those model do over in effectively the X.X QX. we issue how mimic allow And subsequent what flow where But those back in back you we've half year. of up quarters guide to February, execute in volumes the there. production done Bcf kind really day

do move to us. and it also a we the would a QX, as of demonstrated But effect, how anticipate bit think into stress, a disciplined through and you we've production we the year. conditions maintain I'd with be that coming just little decline discipline I out QX course for to the willingness with quarter into we we'll So deliver sharper see in market better second where flattening be

Zachary Parham

looking then sub-XXX line months expectations? Bcf And over one of overall in environment seen rapidly maybe your day, on macro We've the it. your macro production thoughts. now in of thoughts with updated just a Got XX just your decline production last on latest trended pretty has Really lower couple general. at kind for the

Domenic Dell'Osso

quickly what see we've Yes. off fell did, seen Great get surprising production I but demand is as pretty little We as the XXX that expecting is question, Zach. maybe below same weren't quickly. would actually bit say a us. to to that, also time we at

side. just role. think activity So wasn't a curtailments starting with the supply took It deferrals. bigger we

have similar year. decline faster so just through within the people So I -- decision-making what came a But little didn't than own wait we probably a for to our volumes process. would described thought off

were how now. But portion off-line that, a that's the hedging time think through time. that capital demand you off However, same lot program what pretty point to volatile we you and also a going seeing we come handle at a business to of saw lot be is LNG March protects that to reminder represented at that had to the do, probably April was a March and you need capacity and day there at risk you your it's that is and we you're demand. that when back have that April and good demand any And X have of of way and we that a flexible probably plan Bcf one weak X through in that a exposure policy have to enough LNG ought financially strong about a

think So ultimately you trends are when that, more I about real. seeing the here do that is we that decline broadly, macro think

level a have the what think that the of been to in accelerated that stays it you been has rig in fall think a was curtailments, in count we think until there pretty I is direction. show will of significant it we half rig saw that and production decline peak the much the the XXXX. settles we fact at a up, given that Haynesville production Haynesville change in other lower going today led with We has see but than that I count know and it

about and I but all as as which and encouraged we're well think through bit, quite demand talk consumer way of we by in still LNG all So gen. we that power certainly encouraging, the industrial see a exports, quite is very of growth also what also through

Meade ]. Next with Rice question [ from will Rice Company come Johnson Charles (sic) & & Johnson

Charles Meade

offer you far? wondering the can Nick, what if has your -- with thoughts like if been maybe that I'm FTC so engagement you'd some characterize

Domenic Dell'Osso

the their all Look, to some But FTC. to It closed. and getting the phase We're in get to will questions Obviously, look the underlying getting I this how long through mean, we're hard as expect forward we've of work really transaction exactly been time, with predict engaged answered, eager feel about good to second process merits we will of process. take. you would it the that take with reply. this the and FTC request and

we why year. half gave second just the forecast And so a that's of of

Charles Meade

months, to months, Got your effort put these maybe off -- far if And I doing learned maybe would I if to regularly? what's something could what speak, TILs be in wonder different these doing us do wonder cold at that now, Are X different for setting wells for the from you so could versus and have you that so wells months, kind maybe I the -- of storage, Josh, the kind you anything X characterize it. longer. ask And you this have wouldn't you're about up beginning. you of to X expected DUCs. And

Josh Viets

thanks question. for the Charles, Yes.

we go, period do. sit could that of there's is would far This the in pretty common extended not The different really time. I DUCs it for As state as is say, anything there that a wellbore practice. an a

typical I just run-of-the-mill So business. that's pretty would say

importantly, it's stay them. around most about of more top But preparation have And we primarily to standpoint. wellbore terms we to specifically, do preservation, from in just manage With a the be TILs, we of deferred the on those monitoring and our bit do corrosion probably pressure. how have little a thoughtful

decline of it monitor to as to to wells top but manage the offsetting wells, have pressure back wells. of we City, install want by on we other transducers something not we that ensure we're would the production wells, decline. into on that impacting we yet, result made those we instances and And our reserves. can could potential we the have here center are we a any on that So in Oklahoma and not protect potentially on in. remote particular pulling against. come operating with tied that that where are And we've production those that. be we've a at and keeping But own shut start online when dealt those do course, operators, of want there it's be that wells we're That's the managing our recognize threat we investments that actively And do

Shutting pressure. Yes, that's correct.

question will UBS. Josh Silverstein with come next from Your

Joshua Silverstein

So the a follow production that X to of down but the on were suggest for still year, the you'll on quarter, wanted based I and volumes outlook. XQ where Bcf capacity. to X.X get just X.X, fourth day day have outlook the not in may Chesapeake that range the guide I the up a XQ just Bcf

if was the back So right be to just I would that year. and want the of see half see the kind cadence for of what

Josh Viets

day. Yes, of production to are around the Josh, the managing X.X Bcf level we a

have We is that again, quarter first guide of unchanged just the in the So year. to some at this overproduction did reaffirm the point.

that through was rolled Some adjustment of to quarter. accounting non-operated the attributed into a that

higher. those on just bit volumes did are push little we track. that a But So still

QX is out curtailment, QX settle about the pulling into down the the to numbers. take earlier that QX which number, we QX Even million starts that in as $XXX and of but we talked

back the in curve. flattening of we the So half production effect, are

again, and monitor number what feel and in we back to everybody, the to flexible, So continue we the February. really absolutely that conditions we'll we production are market to market But adjust still remind just accordingly offered delivering about good needs.

Domenic Dell'Osso

that you reiterate there's me do left Josh, with underlying of to pretty in -- as really clear to just that the question, forecast that months think mean think going sense. we've note we're and important what X a focused I on year. point. on makes I let that from really it's about really business And go to our been stay the it's economics important

producing conditions play if them to, So producing way the don't market that we more means out expect adjust we'll less. or whether

setup the pretty flexibility but think in a respond. we today, good I lot feels of how have we

Joshua Silverstein

kind do and X to and going new was those on, follow-up capacity think the back $X. the X process TILs gas what's We're DUCs of about How pricing from back the bringing of Well, the Is Yes. that? Or months for along line time lines. away it? rigs? you the what's over winter it

Domenic Dell'Osso

Sure.

way for way of back let's We about all, it, indicator than what what's for to more about of the model get right in When asked price on a to but market, easy to market going we course, us online? not talk about at think the make what's that easy the first the we way lot what's trajectory volumes going think to of trigger think going about you is us matters about on an an us. a decision. the going it this that's in price And to lot underlying price, what but So as it's bring the are moment. of it in an to underlying

available then of the the activity of before any about and so to production, current more each of really levels, gas, believe levels does we continue across the that it the monitor the what the And will basins just make that storage once the us. what would levels to think the hard we we market production we market determine we trajectory have needs logic need changes. And follow and

the been that to wells fastest in and drilled that us for respond are are be thing with completed to line. have So just turned waiting the

that wells of that back bringing I will have And volumes we base. that time, the curtailed drilled additional are would along work completing we would guess, are out to certainly, that, but on Following uncompleted. begin been the be

that of will that I respond wake come rather and we the a that all there's will don't to gas think bring see we likely I flexibility about of this how that if once. day will it's in it back So this. all imagine market I in racing will up be needs manner. possible. that slow X at lot It's believe to a we And the and will it's think through will be volumes way as just are back activity well match described it around growing there But bringing gen a in the more we that levels by that previewed efficiently power likely I pretty happens, possible. when I move the that LNG needed. as we out increase the it's be demand in in industrial market the and demand to around would

have cold respond can those spike need a up you We those that demand. with try Now cold always incremental and but we for spikes needs as not a are show quickly necessarily would sustained. to can, to know as

short-term probably would that would would incorporate that that we -- and making. so into And decision our be a event

from Mehta Sachs. question will come The Goldman Neil with next

Neil Mehta

time I the wonder on the hedging your spend can you framework some just hedge specifically wedge concept.

you some the certainty dollars you want on investing production you're into back. when So start the ground, getting

at initial months investment kind just would that's you that what know that So as when -- of making be spotting And the of point. XX prices after well. the decision fundamentally you're X, think don't

substantial, of cap program, When that ground. that your fairly to cap XX% the into might investments some which you right? the want of kind versus market company are in -- you're you making, on that a be market investing that lock the look returns to you XX% the of capital of So at

just us, is that been excited are thing the it's we've of we the which taking we of referenced you doing in us the for to prudent doing off. So that sort monetize have swaps, we've collars, a given out allows done which been risk pretty curve One volatility. structurally, the way about, contango

And so being global price a you LNG prices? how on Nick gas and do think team, governor about potential long-term

Domenic Dell'Osso

it's something it's Neil, great think a question, Yes. about and we a lot.

some market for and way pretty in and that. but that projects obvious there the to out the understand more about at in LNG number that oversupply the different prepared the are do, eager also think and accept that there be same will LNG, we have As have supplies. that to that There's a LNG growth.

And easily don't of reliable and course, that is of you produce. we a can way as coal, lower for have demand that certainly the policies something times, And that work which affordability different really than that. we'll definitely to it and have it's carbon. the that, The that make an carbon. markets can efficient a solution be we the and also remember because to lower perspective cost, day, efficient some the domestically especially on that so At just site. But But to reliable which something all of sure it lower a product a I is alternatives, we stored the challenges with gas most reliability sustainability on can relative to be trade-offs maintain that different greater being supply both not renewables do the that in that to in through drive with it the is know of standpoint cost that enough. still thing being carbon and and we and it lower of alternatives. think cost. full industry, and that It lot effective people to can renewables, towards At that's will meets not is that reliability are a cost product it's that open as about. providers internationally that But important chain we important say natural a and we wide both affordable, value are that on

Domenic Dell'Osso

I Well, it think I mean, what's all going on on. depends

that market some demand. If you don't we have will that volumes, bring then can have to meet sort think sustained, be short-term help demand of to we we curtailed in spike

Kevin MacCurdy

into seeing leading or the constraints more that more, declining the shows is the dig driven I'm Haynesville to is declines local the XQ than faster that's is Haynesville? guide just curious a if by being something natural just that Marcellus. that on in To the curtailments little prices you're

Josh Viets

to it market start flow question that continue whether markets. Yes. conditions. makes That's We to seeing due or we to pricing really were just those really into not to there local just gas sense

so the are impact wells margin. margins what selectively look will usage, well chemical each well, sets water recognizing And we for that production and at

it that we seeing in the pricing flow just the that to we're doesn't make sense full simply second quarter, so volume think of And allotment there.

So planned curtailment in the talk the million when Haynesville. is roughly we tied of cubic about that feet of the to quarter, half a XXX day

And back of of should again, the second this half anticipate why then tied the So as to to quarter-over-quarter And curtailment. see of the that big portion of year. we for when get get look the A to that's into the half decline you from course, you of just start is at directly QX a year. Haynesville asset, QX we'll the second or decline that in the flattening

X you Haynesville the Or to the And production, up bring compared question the Great. in will Appalachia? on faster in to it about have back capacity other? do an about basin returning the follow earlier to be on same volumes and

Josh Viets

same. there's spoke just I around it's of mean, earlier. But macro be should back, mean logistical that go into the how just conditions considerations to it the I Nick really Yes, about that a lot of planning. bring outside production we the
