Coterra Energy faces call for governance overhaul
CTRA
Board Change
M&A
  • Activist investor Kimmeridge criticized Coterra’s board for “failures of governance” after the failed 2021 Cabot–Cimarex merger and urged appointment of an independent non-executive Chair to restore accountability.
  • The merger has resulted in mismatched assets—dry gas in the Marcellus versus oil in the Permian—leading to complexity, inefficiency and valuation compression, with Coterra underperforming the XLE index and peers.
  • Coterra wrote down Marcellus proved reserves by 32% within 13 months of the merger, highlighting flaws in capital allocation and board-level risk management.
  • Kimmeridge recommends divesting low-decline Marcellus and Anadarko assets and refocusing on the Delaware Basin, where Coterra has led in lowest-cost supply wells since 2022, to simplify operations and boost returns.
