Jim Cramer spoke with Ultra Petroleum (NYSE: UPL) CEO Mike Watford recently. The natural gas producer's stock is up over 14,560% in the past ten years.

Watford says that the company has seen tremendous production growth over the past ten years, and that the cash flow margins remain at 70%.

He continues that the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania is expected to exceed the companies margin expectations. Ultra is bullish on Marcellus because the company has a lower tax rate and better resale market then the Western part of the U.S.

The CEO also believes that natural gas is the best choice for energy independence in the U.S.
