About these figures. For 2017 to 2019, capital spending is the company's (then Chesapeake Energy's) drilling and completion spending, its largest capital line; its smaller spending on property acquisitions and other equipment in those years has no total in the SEC's structured data. The company emerged from bankruptcy in February 2021, so 2021 is split into two periods with no full-year figures and is not shown.
