All of which is good news for BHP, which mines coal, produces oil and has a growing presence in natural gas after last year’s Petrohawk Energy acquisition.

If BHP’s energy business were a standalone company, it would be considered a medium-sized company. Production (following the CHK acquisition: #msg-60162987) is about 650K boe/d, which is comparable to such companies as APC.
