Chesapeake Class Action

  • If you own royalties in Oklahoma natural gas wells overseen by Chesapeake, you may be entitled to financial compensation through a class action settlement
  • According to the suit Fitzgerald Farms vs. Chesapeake, Chesapeake calculated and distributed incorrect royalties between 2004 and 2014
  • The class action is still in litigation as of August 2015, and the terms of the settlement haven’t yet been finalized

Per the class action settlement, Chesapeake knowingly calculated and paid out incorrect royalties based on natural gas production. This has not only resulted in fewer profits for stakeholders, but it comes with significant legal and tax ramifications due to Chesapeake’s actions.

Important Information

  • This class action only applies to natural gas wells located in Oklahoma that are or were operated by Chesapeake
  • Chesapeake denies any deliberate or accidental wrongdoing regarding royalty payments
  • Compensation varies greatly due to several factors, including the number of wells class action members had a stake in, as well as production levels of each natural gas well

If you participate in the settlement and elect to receive compensation as part of the class action, you forfeit your right to bring your own suit against Chesapeake in relation to these issues. If you’re not sure what to do, or if you have additional questions, consult a lawyer to explore your options.
