CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Keys To Being A Successful Acquirer § Focus Know what you want to buy, where you want to buy it and how you want to buy it § Experience Inexperienced or occasional buyers generally do not succeed. CHK has a consistent approach to acquiring and assimilating acquisitions. CHK is always in the market and has ≈ 50 people working full-time on acquisition integration § Drillbit Expertise Must be able to accurately assess, accelerate and deliver upside from PUDs, probables, possibles and exploration opportunities § Operational Skill Must be able to operate acquired properties more efficiently than sellers. Significant operating scale and attention to detail are the keys to achieving efficiencies CHK has executed more acquisition transactions in the past seven years than any other E&P company – experience helps prevent mistakes! 10
CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Acquisition Margins Best Ever (1) Average yearly gas price 7 -year CAGR 22. 5% Acquisition cost – per mcfe Gross margin between cost and gas price $8. 80 29. 5% $6. 54 $4. 37 11. 2% $3. 78 $1. 12 $3. 05 $3. 00 $1. 79 $1. 56 (to date) § Oil and gas price increases have far outpaced acquisition cost increases § Margins matter, not per mcfe sticker price (1) 2006 NYMEX strip as of 10/3/05 (10/05) 11

CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Why Is CHK the #1 Driller in the U. S. ? § Most active driller in U. S. by a wide margin – 74 operated rigs currently drilling (plus 72 non-operated rigs drilling) – CHK gathers ≈10% of all the daily drilling information generated in America • This is a distinctive competitive advantage. § 1/4 of rigs drilling to targets > 15, 000’; 1/2 between 10 -15, 000’; 1/4 < than 10, 000’ – Drill more deep onshore wells than anyone in the industry – Also one of the leading horizontal drillers in the industry § If properly executed, good drilling easily generates the highest returns on capital: 100%+ vs. 20 -25% acquisitions § However, creating value through the drillbit today is difficult – You had to start getting ready 5 years ago – Quality land, people and seismic are scarce resources § Over the past 7 years, CHK has differentially invested over $2. 4 billion to build the industry’s largest inventories of U. S. leasehold (7. 6 mm acres) and 3 -D seismic (10. 9 mm acres)(1) – Amassed a 12 -year inventory of over 23, 500 drill sites – Now in every major U. S. onshore gas resource play out side of the Rockies CHK is uniquely positioned to transfer and apply technology, data and geoscience knowledgebase across all of its operating regions (1) Pro forma for pending acquisition of Columbia Natural Resources 13

CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 CHK’s Substantial U. S. Gas Resource Base § Twelve-year identified inventory of over 23, 500 drillsites to develop 2. 5 tcfe of proved undeveloped reserves and 6. 4 tcfe of non-proved reserves § Conventional plays: Much of the Mid-Continent, Permian, Gulf Coast, S. Texas and other areas – Mountain Front Springer: (S. & W. OK); >100, 000 net acres; Prolific play initiated by CHK 3 -D seismic and leasehold – Zapata County: (S. TX); ≈100, 000 net acres; CHK 3 rd largest producer in the #1 gas producing county in Texas § Unconventional gas resource plays: – Sahara (NW OK): >500, 000 net acres; Foundational asset; ≈20 -year drilling inventory; 640 acre spacing in 1998, moving down to 40’s – Granite, Cherokee/Atoka Washes (West OK/TX Panhandle): ≈200, 000 net acres; Overlooked formations from low gas price days in Anadarko Basin – Barnett Shale (N. TX): 48, 000 net acres; Recent expansion in Johnson County sweet spot through acquisition of Hallwood’s interest in S. Block AMI – Hartshorne Coal (Oklahoma Arkoma): ≈100, 000 net acres; CHK has drilled over 300 CBM wells – Ark-La-Tex tight sands: >50, 000 net acres; CHK rapidly becoming a player in prolific Ark-La-Tex region – Appalachia: (WV, KY, OH, PA, NY) 3. 5 mm net acres; 9, 435 undrilled locations of primarily shallow, low-risk drilling; > 15 -year inventory § Emerging gas resource plays: – Fayetteville Shale (Arkansas Arkoma): >200, 000 net acres; SWN has been successful to date. CHK plans to drill six operated wells by year-end 2005 – Haley (West TX): ≈125, 000 net acres; Permian Basin deep over-pressured gas play in Loving County, TX with APC as a competitor/partner – Caney/Woodford Shales (Oklahoma Arkoma): ≈250, 000 net acres; age equivalent to Fayetteville, too early to declare success Net Acreage (7. 6 million acres) Drillsites (23, 500 gross wells) Proved Undeveloped Reserves (2, 500 bcfe) Non-Proved Reserves (6, 400 bcfe) Conventional Unconventional gas resource Emerging gas resource § Continue to actively expand all three play types with >500, 000 acres acquired in 2 Q 05 through aggressive land acquisition program utilizing >500 land brokers in the field § We’re also working on several new potentially significant gas resource plays, details to come. . . § Most recently, CNR acquisition opens up multiple unconventional shale, tight sand CBM plays 16

CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Why Regionally Consolidate? § Most E&P companies asset bases are too diversified, too spread out § Result is often operational mediocrity – sometimes incoherent corporate strategy and resulting investor unease about the future § CHK believes top-tier business success can only be achieved by being better at one thing than everyone else – for CHK, that’s onshore in the southwest U. S. and now the Appalachian Basin § Scale brings many benefits: – Negotiating power: CHK demands and receives best prices and best services from service industry – Information advantages: CHK receives > 50% of all drilling information generated in the Mid-Continent. There is tremendous value in this unique and sustainable competitive advantage – Attracting talent: The best geologists, engineers, and landmen want to work where the action is § Our strategy is clear, concise and consistent. What we do has worked, is working and should keep working for the foreseeable future 18 CHK’s operating areas are still very fragmented and in the years ahead likely to produce further consolidation opportunities

CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Why Has CHK Focused on Gas Since 1998? § Our operating strategy failure in the mid-90’s taught us that: – – Significant new reserves of U. S. natural gas are hard to find Finding costs would accelerate over time Depletion rates would accelerate over time Boom in gas fired power plants would cause a train wreck over time § We thought that supply/demand fundamentals would steadily improve – Demand trendline would be up 1 -3% per year, supply trendline would be down 0 -2% per year – In pricing: higher highs, higher lows – the trend would be our friend § Volatility is high and likely to increase. We love gas price volatility – why? – Volatility creates opportunity to hedge unusually high prices that generate unusually high returns – Volatility reduces investment in the industry, which dampens supply – Volatility helps unlock the option value embedded in long-life reserves – This option value is a key “x” factor enhancing the value of long-lived assets and it comes free with acquisitions § LNG is a risk to be monitored – But, our view is that U. S. gas prices will need to approximate BTU parity with world oil prices to attract LNG imports in the 2009 and beyond time frame U. S. natural gas production curve today is similar to U. S. oil production curve in the 1970’s: a peak, then a steady decline regardless of price increases and technology improvements 21

CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Gas Market Thoughts 28
CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Drivers of Future Oil and Gas Prices Part 1 • Oil and natural gas is increasingly difficult and expensive to find, all across the globe – and we are consuming 31 billion bbls/year • World population growth will continue until at least 2050, increasing by approx. 50% – that’s 3 billion more energy consumers (10 x current USA population) • 50% of today’s population (mostly Asia) is rapidly industrializing, and rapidly expanding energy consumption • Average U. S. oil consumption per capita: 25. 3 bbls/year 2003 • Average Korean oil consumption per capita: 17. 7 bbls/year 2003 • Average Japanese oil consumption per capita: 15. 6 bbls/year 2003 • Average Chinese oil consumption per capita: 1. 8 bbls/year 2003 • Average Indian oil consumption per capita: 0. 9 bbls/year 2003 • When urbanized Chinese (40%) and Indians (30%) reach same per capita consumption as Japanese/Koreans average today, the world will consume 42% more oil than today – where will 35 million new bbls/day come from? How quickly will China and India get there? The Great Debate: How close are we to a peak of worldwide crude production? 29
CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Drivers of Future Oil and Gas Prices Part II • In addition to Asia, the U. S. and others will also continue to grow – remember, the U. S. adds the equivalent of a new Texas every 7 -8 years in population and energy demand • Despite the obvious need for massive new resources of oil and natural gas, futures markets and most investors/analysts believe that lower oil and gas prices are inevitable – although this is changing before our eyes • Why so much denial of what appear to be easily visible trends? – – • Bush’s inaugural “Freedom from Tyranny” policy is bullish for energy prices – – • Energy has not been expensive for 20 years (almost half of U. S. population has never known anything other than cheap energy) It’s inconvenient to think about the implications of energy prices – every thing you own and do today is predicated on cheap energy Policies favoring cheap energy and a pristine environment are often in conflict Technology will save us – maybe, but much higher prices will be needed to drive the needed increases in energy technology investment If he’s right, strong demand increases will overwhelm supply increases If he’s wrong, supply will be at risk for a long time Hurricane Katrina demonstrates the folly of putting too many of our energy infrastructure eggs in one (very fragile) basket And finally, when will peace, love and harmony break out in oil producing regions of the world? 30
CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Other Questions to Ponder • Can LNG gas supply accretion (from a 2. 5 bcf/day base in ‘ 05) overcome continuing U. S. /Canada gas supply depletion (from a 70 bcf/day current base)? • • Will all (or enough) spot cargoes of LNG come to the U. S. and at what price? • When will we build gas pipeline from Mc. Kenzie Delta Alaska? How much of the Mc. Kenzie gas gets past Canadian oil sands projects? Should Alaska gas be liquefied instead? • What happens if energy demand in India and China (40% of the world’s population) increases by 35 million bbls/day in next 15 years? • How will U. S. resolve its public policy conflicts between cheap energy vs. a pristine environment? • • Will world oil production peak? When? ’ 05, ’ 10, ’ 15? • How high do oil/natural gas prices have to rise to cut short economic growth/induce conservation/curb demand? • How will Iraq and Iran play out and what happens if (or when? ) House of Saud falls? Will LNG importers have financial motivation to undercut U. S. gas prices at the moment of importation? After an oil production peak, how much stranded gas becomes converted to liquids rather than to LNG? At what prices for oil and gas are you willing to change your consumption habits? 31

CEO Roundtable – 2005 IPAA Annual Meeting – 10/26/05 Forward-Looking Statements This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27 A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. They include estimates of oil and gas reserves, expected oil and gas production and future expenses, projections of future oil and gas prices, planned capital expenditures for drilling, leasehold acquisitions and seismic data, and statements concerning anticipated cash flow and liquidity, our business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, including our acquisition of Columbia Natural Resources, LLC. and related financings. In addition, statements concerning the fair value of derivative contracts and their estimated contribution to our future results of operations are based upon market information as of a specific date. These market prices are subject to significant volatility. Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results are described under “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-13 of the Prospectus Supplement dated September 8, 2005 for our offering of 4. 50% Convertible Preferred Stock we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 9, 2005. They include the volatility of oil and gas prices, adverse effects our substantial indebtedness and preferred stock obligations could have on our operations and future growth and on our ability to make debt service and preferred stock dividend payments as they become due, our ability to compete effectively against strong independent oil and gas companies and majors, the availability of capital on an economic basis to fund reserve replacement costs, uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil and gas reserves and projecting future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures, our ability to replace reserves and sustain production, uncertainties in evaluating oil and gas reserves of acquired properties and associated potential liabilities, unsuccessful exploration and development drilling, declines in the values of our oil and gas properties resulting in ceiling test write-downs, lower prices realized on oil and gas sales and collateral required to secure hedging liabilities resulting from our commodity price risk management activities, drilling and operating risks, and the loss of key personnel. In addition, the CNR acquisition is subject to conditions which must be satisfied before closing. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to update this information. We urge you to carefully review and consider the disclosures made in this presentation and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business. 33
