Expand Energy was thrilled to be a part of Junior Achievement of Oklahoma's grand opening of the JA Experiential Learning Center right here on our OKC campus.

Follow Expand Energy to learn how our goal is to create a world class company that prides itself on being the safest ─ and the most efficient — operator. This ambitious endeavor must be met with flawless execution, which is why we started out day one of our new company with safety standdown meetings across the company where we encouraged all employees to not only own safety, but to be safety leaders.

Expand Energy's credit rating was upgraded to Investment Grade by S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings. Our new rating is a reflection of the financial strength and enhanced scale of our company. The action by the rating agencies marks an important milestone on our path to disrupt the industry’s traditional cost and market delivery model and to establish Expand Energy as a premier energy company.

Before Syed Sajjad returned to Southern Methodist University, he shared the following insight from his internship in our Investor Relations department. “The energy business is sometimes portrayed in the media as negative to society and something that needs to be phased out. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as nearly everything we use every day is a derivative of a natural resource, from the electricity that powers our ovens to the roads we drive on. There are plenty of opportunities for young professionals to grow in the industry, and I would encourage anyone looking to start a career to keep an open mind.” That’s a wrap for our 2024 interns! We wish them the best of luck as they return to school. If interested in 2025 internship opportunities, please be sure to apply this fall.

Campbell Walker, senior at Davidson College, interned with our IT department learning the ins and outs of PowerBI and SQL. “This summer has been an amazing opportunity to gain insight into the industry and build valuable skills that will help me throughout my professional journey. I have learned the importance of collaboration and the power of asking questions. I have enjoyed meeting the other interns and getting involved in the Chesapeake community. I am extremely thankful for this opportunity and for everyone who has supported me throughout this summer,” shared Campbell. 

As our interns prepare to return to school, we want to thank them for their dedication, bright ideas, and desire to learn this summer. This week, we are sharing some of their experiences. “I've learned a lot about the collaboration that goes into working in the field and the many departments that work together to achieve a common goal. My favorite part has been getting outside (even in the incredibly hot weather) and driving to the beautiful sites surrounded by gorgeous trees. I have enjoyed watching people come together at these sites, and the safety mindset that everyone is looking out for each other,” said Emma Knight a Chemical Engineering junior at Brigham Young University interning with our Haynesville operations team.
