Dominion Exploration and Production

Dominion's Appalachian Basin E&P operations include approximately 1.2 Tcfe of proved reserves. These properties add value to the company’s natural gas pipeline, storage and gathering businesses.

Dominion owns and operates the nation's largest underground natural gas storage system with about 975 billion cubic feet of storage capacity.

During 2007, Dominion sold the majority of its oil and natural gas exploration and production assets to put additional focus on growing its electric generation and energy distribution, transmission, storage and retail businesses.
