NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Chesapeake Energy Corp (CHK.N) wants to sell holdings in Arkansas' Fayetteville shale natural gas field and stakes in two companies to raise $5 billion and trim its heavy debt load.

BP? China? Now let's remember what they said....it's all about America's energy security.
