Sunday, August 9, 2015
Depressed natural gas prices in Appalachia are forcing companies like Rice Energy to sell to other markets. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette PowerSource reports that the Canonsburg, Pennsylvania-based company reported a second quarter loss of $69.7 million. During the second quarter of 2014, the company reported a loss of $7.9 million
Rice decided to begin drilling in Pennsylvania’s Utica earlier this year after successfully drilling the successful ‘Bigfoot’ well in Belmont County, Ohio. The exploration and production company also has a midstream branch.
Rice intends to increase production despite the downturn.
