Denver, Colorado, United States

Western Gas Resources CBM properties within the Powder River Basin are estimated to hold about 9 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of original gas in place and are directly adjacent to Anadarko's assets in this developing play. Western Gas Resources also has a 10 percent average working interest in its Pinedale/Jonah joint ventures, which encompass world-class fields totaling more than 40 Tcf of original estimated gas in place. Anadarko expects that combining its properties and skill sets with Western Gas' will accelerate the development of these natural gas resources and produce strong volume growth from these properties through the end of the decade, and possibly longer, with more than 12,000 identified drilling locations in inventory.
