Gene D. Yost & Son, Inc. has more than 45 years of drilling experience in the Appalachian Basin. Yost’s services include:

• Drilling rigs
• Site building

Yost’s 17 drilling rigs have the capability to reach depths from 4,000 to 14,000 feet in areas that have until recently been considered shallow plays.

In the energy business, securing an available rig is an integral part of the exploration process. Owning its own drilling company is a strategic advantage for Chesapeake over its competitors. When a new play is discovered, Chesapeake never has to wait. A rig and crew are ready to begin the drilling process.
