Chesapeake Energy has been fined $2.1million for alleged under reporting on natural gas produced on Indian leases in Oklahoma, according to reports.
The Department of Interior’s Office of Natural Resources Revenue Office said it had issued a civil penalty against the Oklahoma city-based company for failing to comply with an October 2011 order requiring it to review the amounts reported for more than 100 leases.
A spokesman said that Chesapeake said it had complied with the order in 2012.
However follow-up testing had found additional under reporter volumes which were then corrected in 2013.
