CNX Resources Corp is a U.S. natural gas development, production, midstream and technology company centered in the Appalachian Basin. Its core asset base is concentrated in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, with additional coalbed methane operations in Virginia. The company combines upstream gas production with owned gathering and processing infrastructure, which helps it move gas from the wellhead to market and reduce dependence on third-party midstream services. CNX also emphasizes ultra-low carbon intensity gas, environmental attributes and operational flexibility in how it markets and transports production.
