Since we were founded in 1989, our management team has guided the company through various operational and industry challenges and extremes of natural gas and oil prices to create one of the largest producers of natural gas in the U.S., a top 15 producer of oil and natural gas liquids, with more than 12,000 employees currently and an indirect employer of tens of thousands, with an enterprise value of approximately $34 billion as of September 30, 2011.
The company takes pride in the innovative and aggressive implementation of its business strategy and strives to be as entrepreneurial today as it has been in its past. We have maintained an unusually flat organizational structure as we have grown to help ensure that important information travels rapidly through the company, and decisions are made and implemented quickly.
