Chesapeake Energy is pleased to work cooperatively with students, parents and faculty at Danny Jones Middle School. Together with the Mansfield Fire and Police Departments, Mansfield Independent School District, MISD Police Department and the City of Mansfield, we are commtted to safe drilling operations at our Keep A Steppin padsite, located on East Broad Street, west of North Day Mar Road.
Sensitive to concerns of all those connected with Danny Jones Middle School and its surrounding neighborhood, we will utilize advanced technology and industry-leading methods to reduce sound levels and ensure the safety of students, faculty, administration, nearby residents and the environment. The opportunity to produce clean-burning natural gas at the Keep A Steppin site will bring great benefits to the local community and the Mansfield Independent School District, as hundreds of your neighbors, their families and local businesses will earn future royalty payments once the wells begin producing. Working together, we can play an important part in creating thriving neighborhoods and a prosperous City of Mansfield. The partnership will not only create a strong local economy, but will fuel the future of Texas and the nation and provide a cleaner future for future generations.

Chesapeake has safely drilled more than 1,300 wells in the Barnett Shale; 4,775 wells in Texas and 39,200 in the U.S. There have been no reported injuries to any bystander or resident due to any well control incident in the entire state of Texas.
Chesapeake's Barnett Shale drilling operations are tightly regulated by the Railroad Commission of Texas, Environmental Protection Agency, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Department of Transportation and others for health, safety and welfare issues. Chesapeake uses best practices and mitigation measures throughout all drilling and production operations, from mitigating sound to managing water use.

Unlike coal or oil molecules - which are dense, complex and carbon heavy - natural gas is a light and simple molecule comprised of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms, which results in no particulate and few carbon dioxide emissions. Because of its molecular advantages and its abundance, we believe "carbon-light" nautral gas is the best answer for meeting the nation's and the world's challenge of generating more energy with less pollution. A few other facts about natural gas:
- Natural gas burns 43% cleaner than coal, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- Natural gas is abundant, particularly in the Barnett Shale region
- Natural gas is affordable — on a per-gallon equivalent basis, natural gas costs about half as much as gasoline*
- 97% of the natural gas we consume is produced in North America**
