Southwestern Energy Co. and Chesapeake Energy Corp. are reportedly nearing a merger that would create a $17 billion entity, poised to become one of the top natural gas producers in the United States. The merger would enhance Chesapeake's focus on natural gas and its capacity to meet the rising global demand for US liquefied natural gas exports.
