Chesapeake and Southwestern Energy merger moves closer to completion

The $7 billion merger of Oklahoma City’s Chesapeake Energy and Houston-based Southwestern Energy is closer at hand.
After a delay caused by the Federal Trade Commission which wanted more documents and details of the deal, now the two companies anticipate a closing early in the fourth quarter. It’s what Chesapeake CEO Nick Dell’Osso said over the past few days.
Reuters reported Dell’Osso’s comments were made at the Gastech energy conference.
