Southwestern Energy Company (SWN): One Rock-Solid Natural Gas Stock

Recent asset purchase from Chesapeake
Southwestern also recently increased its position in the Marcellus to a whopping 337,000 net acres when it acquired 162,000 net acres in the Pennsylvania portion of the play from Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK), an energy producer that’s currently divesting non-core assets to raise much-needed cash. From Southwestern’s perspective, the terms of the agreement were quite attractive.
