There is no gate to chain at 6100 N. Western, but the townspeople are watching as an heir apparent to Kerr-McGee, Chesapeake Energy Corp., builds its Oklahoma City legacy and sprawls its way through boom and bust in this, one of the most tumultuous of its 20 years.
There is a pervasive sense that Chesapeake is a company apart from others, that it sprints along with a wildcatter’s mentality and a tycoon’s bankroll, that it buys high, sells higher and sometimes is laid low in the process.
Although not as eccentric as Wonka, Aubrey McClendon is a workhorse, a man of diverse interest and singular vision. But that vision — a zig when others think it should be a zag — along with a penchant for control through ownership, has defined Chesapeake as an outlier, albeit a successful one.
