Antero Resources Corporation
Antero Resources Corp is a U.S. upstream energy company focused on developing and producing natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and oil from its Appalachian asset base. The company markets its production to energy companies, end users, and refineries, and its results are highly tied to commodity prices, basis differentials, and transportation and storage conditions. Antero also has close operational and personnel ties with Antero Midstream, which supports gathering, processing, and related infrastructure for its production. Its business model is centered on drilling, completing, and monetizing hydrocarbon reserves while managing price risk through hedging and disciplined capital allocation.
