Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. , based in Houston, Texas, is an independent oil and gas exploration company with producing properties mainly in the continental U.S. Founded over 100 years ago in Pennsylvania, Cabot originally operated in the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern U.S. before moving the bulk of its activities to the Gulf Coast.
Today, the company has three domestic focus areas: the Appalachian Basin, east Texas, and Rocky Mountains. Cabot mainly concentrates on high-impact natural gas-focused drilling in the Marcellus Shale and supplements it with Eagle Ford-based liquids program in Texas' Eagle Ford play.
