Merry Christmas! MDN Off Dec. 24 – Jan. 2, Back Jan. 5, 2026

We wish you a Merry Christmas…and a Happy New Year! MDN will take off (i.e., no new stories posted) between Dec. 24 and Jan. 2, the day after New Year’s Day, in observance of the holiday season. Don’t worry; we’ll keep an eye on the news, and if anything earth-shattering happens, we’ll post about it. However, we intend to take a break from writing for an entire week. We will see you again on Monday, January 5th.

A brief note to thank you, our loyal readers, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for subscribing and resubscribing year after year. We take our responsibility seriously to bring you the news, in context, throughout the year. We look forward to more drilling in the Marcellus/Utica in 2026!
