Sumitomo Corp Sells JV Stake in Butler County, PA Marcellus
In 2010 gigantic Japanese trading house Sumitomo Corp. bought a 30% stake (joint venture) in Rex Energy's Marcellus drilling operation in Bulter County, PA for $150.7 million. Sumitomo wrote down much of the value for that purchase in 2015.

Yesterday Sumitomo announced the sale of their 30% share of the action.
