Penn Virginia Sells Appalachian Drilling, Closes Office
Penn Virginia announced today it’s selling off all of its Appalachian drilling operations—except for its Marcellus Shale drilling operations—for $100 million. They are also closing their Canonsburg, PA regional office. Why the sale? They want to get out of debt and plow the proceeds into drilling in the Marcellus and in the oily parts of the Eagle Ford Shale play.
Reading between the lines it sounds like a move away from dry gas and toward wet gas areas.
