HOUSTON, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Chesapeake Energy Corporation will bring Big Blue, its unique natural gas-powered motor coach, to the opening reception of the 2011 Developing Unconventional Gas (DUG™) conference 5-7 p.m. Monday, April 18, 2011, at the Fort Worth Convention Center.

The Oklahoma-based bus -- emblazoned with the slogan, "The Future Runs on Natural Gas!" -- will be displayed alongside a natural gas-powered 2011 Camaro and the Chesapeake chopper, a CNG-fueled custom motorcycle, as part of Chesapeake's stand in the DUG exhibition hall. Chesapeake uses these vehicles to provide public demonstrations of the real, near-term potential for natural gas-powered fleets as it seeks to promote natural gas as a clean, affordable, abundant (and American) natural resource.

The natural gas vehicles or NGVs will be on display as more than 2,000 oil and gas industry executives converge in Fort Worth for the 6th annual DUG conference, the flagship event in Hart Energy's successful DUG series. Each spring this conference brings petroleum operators, service companies and the financial community together to document successes and share lessons learned, making it the world's leading venue for unconventional resource strategy and forecast presentations.
