Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On December 22, 2014, Chesapeake Appalachia, L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy Corporation (the “Company”), closed the sale of its southern Marcellus Shale and a portion of its eastern Utica Shale assets to Southwestern Energy Production Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Southwestern Energy Company, for net proceeds of approximately $4.975 billion.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 gives effect to the disposition of the Company’s southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale assets as if it had occurred on September 30, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflect the southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale asset disposition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical financial statements, including the notes thereto, of the Company included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is based on financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations would have been had the transaction occurred on the respective dates assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of the Company’s future operating results. However, the pro forma adjustments reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflect estimates and assumptions that the Company’s management believes to be reasonable.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
(a)
Adjustment to reflect the $4.975 billion in cash from the sale of the Company’s divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale assets.
(b)
Adjustment to reduce the full cost pool for the estimated fair market value of $4.969 billion attributable to the Company’s divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale natural gas and oil proved reserves. The Company follows the full cost method of accounting. Proceeds from the sale of properties are accounted for as reductions of capitalized costs unless such sales involve a significant change in proved reserves and significantly alter the relationship between costs and proved reserves. The sale of the Company's southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale natural gas and oil properties did not involve a significant change in proved reserves for the Company and as such no gain was recognized on this sale.
(c)
Adjustment to reflect the elimination of $23 million of asset retirement obligations associated with the Company’s divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale assets and the associated asset retirement cost capitalized in the full cost pool.
(d)
Adjustment to reclassify $1.0 billion of the historical cost basis of unproved natural gas and oil properties associated with the sale of the Company’s divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale assets into the Company's amortization base.
(e)
Adjustment to reduce other property and equipment by $9 million for the sale of the Company’s divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale other property and equipment and the associated accumulated depreciation of $3 million.
(f)
Adjustment to reflect the change in the current income taxes payable, non-current income taxes payable, and deferred income tax liability associated with the sale of the Company's divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale assets.
(g)
No gain or loss is expected to result on the sale of the Company’s other property and equipment based on the preliminary estimated fair market value relative to the proceeds received.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
(h)
Adjustment to eliminate revenue and direct operating expenses of the divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale assets.
(i)
Adjustment to reflect the reduction of marketing revenue and expenses the Company generates through marketing activities with joint operating agreement partners relating to the divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale assets.
(j)
Adjustment to reduce production taxes for the production of natural gas, oil and NGL relating to the divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale properties.
(k)
Adjustment to reflect the reduction in depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense based on the production volumes attributable to the properties sold and revision to the Company’s DD&A rate reflecting the reserve volumes sold. DD&A is calculated using the unit of production method under full cost accounting.
(l)
Adjustment to reflect the reduction in DD&A attributable to the sale of the Company’s divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale other property and equipment.
(m)
Adjustment to reflect the increased interest expense associated with the change in the amount of interest capitalized on the Company's divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Share natural gas and oil properties. The reclassification of the historical cost basis of unproved natural gas and oil properties changed the amount of interest capitalized.
(n)
Adjustment to reflect income tax expense based on the Company’s historical statutory tax rate applied to the cumulative effect of changes referenced within the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations.
(o)
Adjustment to reflect the change in earnings allocated to participating securities associated with the sale of the Company's divested southern Marcellus and eastern Utica Shale assets. Participating securities consist of unvested restricted stock issued to the Company's employees and non-employee directors that provide dividend rights.
