Profit losses hurt Consol, even with upswing in production
Saturday, August 15, 2015
The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register reports Consol Energy’s production soared to 10.6 billion cubic feet per day in the Utica Shale during the second quarter of this year.
However, during that same period of time, Consol lost 22 cents per every 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas produced, racking up a total loss of $603 million.
Inadequate infrastructure in the Utica influences prices in the region, causing them to be lower than in other areas. The New York Mercantile Exchange lists the selling price of 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas at about $2.80, which is more than $1 less than at this time last year.

Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
