We are an independent natural gas and oil company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil properties in the Appalachian Basin. We are focused on creating shareholder value by identifying and assembling a portfolio of low-risk assets with attractive economic profiles and leveraging our technical and managerial expertise to deliver industry-leading results. We strive to be an early entrant into the core of a shale play by identifying what we believe to be the core of the play and aggressively executing our acquisition strategy to establish a largely contiguous acreage position. We believe we were an early identifier of the core of both the Marcellus Shale in southwestern Pennsylvania and the Utica Shale in southeastern Ohio.

Our Mission

To be the paradigm for oil and gas exploration and production companies in the shale generation.

Our Vision

We will lead our nation to energy independence while protecting the environment, providing the safest workplace for our employees and partners, and generating best-in-class returns to our stakeholders. In doing so, we will illuminate the power of positive energy.

Our Values

Seeking Excellence

Seeking excellence requires dedication and sacrifice, a sense of urgency and significance in every action we take, and a determination to go the extra mile to be the best. We pursue excellence nonetheless because we know our excellence will strengthen our nation, enhance our environment, and better the lives of our families, neighbors and communities.

Teamwork

By working together as a team, we can achieve a vision that cannot be achieved as individuals. Teamwork requires trust, selflessness, appreciation and camaraderie. Teamwork empowers us to make the right decision and to do so quickly, safely and in a manner that promotes continued excellence.

Innovation

Each employee has the ability to expand the bounds of excellence. We are a company borne out of innovation, and to remain innovative we must be both humble and determined on our path to excellence. Whatever we do, there is a way to do it better – we ask that you find it.

Stewardship

We strive to be a protector of the environment, to foster a safe and professional work environment, and to give back to those communities that have provided us the opportunity to pursue our vision. Each of us is duty bound to act as stewards of others to ensure that we continue to have this opportunity.
