Anadarko's properties in the Southern region are located primarily in Texas and are focused on finding and developing natural gas resources from tight sands, shales and fractured-reservoir plays. Anadarko is active in the Bossier, Haley, Carthage, Chalk, South Texas, Ozona and Eagleford Shale in Texas; the Hugoton area in southern Kansas; the Marcellus Shale in north-central Pennsylvania and the Haynesville Shale in East Texas and western Louisiana.

East Texas
Production and development activities at Anadarko's properties in East Texas are concentrated in the Bossier and Carthage areas, as well as the Haynesville Shale. Anadarko is continuing its Cotton Valley infill and pilot horizontal drilling programs in the Carthage area. Anadarko's East Texas Chalk activity is focused on horizontal drilling in Tyler and Jasper counties. In the Haynesville, Anadarko holds approximately 80,000 net acres, the vast majority of which is held by production. Along with partners, we continue to evaluate opportunities in this play.
West Texas
Anadarko's operations in West Texas are concentrated on increasing production and reserves in the tight-gas play of the Haley field. During 2007, Anadarko entered into a joint venture on a portion of the Haley field to reduce risk and increase acreage in the Delaware Basin.
South Texas and Hugoton
Other areas in the Southern region include properties in South Texas, Ozona, the Eagleford and Pearsall Shale and the Hugoton field in southern Kansas. Anadarko holds more than 350,000 gross acres and a strategic position in the Maverick Basin, and the program is yielding encouraging results in both the Eagleford and Pearsall shales.
Pennsylvania
Bringing our recognized environmental programs and best practices to Pennsylvania, Anadarko holds approximately 715,000 gross acres in the Marcellus Shale. We continue to build the Marcellus program with encouraging results. Increased activity in the Marcellus play brings economic activity to the commonwealth and presents net unrisked resource potential that equals all of Anadarko's total proved reserves of 2.3 billion BOE as of year-end 2009.
