CNX Files Lawsuit Against Capital & Main for Defamation re Article
Capital & Main is a left-leaning news outlet based in California. Capital & Main is about as left as left gets, yet pretends to be a legit news outfit [uncontrolled laughing]. Capital & Main has repeatedly targeted CNX Resources to smear the company and its Radical Transparency initiative. In September, we brought you Capital & Main’s latest hit piece alleging CNX’s operations are polluting and causing ill health for those who live nearby. The article also said CNX’s drilling program is anything but transparent (see Leftists Rattled by CNX’s Real Science and Radical Transparency). That article, says CNX, stepped over the line and defamed the company. So, CNX has filed a lawsuit against Capital & Main.

CNX Resources is partnering with Chicago real estate giant JLL to market and lease the 1,500-acre Zediker Station site in South Strabane Township, about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh. The property offers 400 buildable acres, access to natural gas reserves and ample water, and features a unique, carbon-neutral power solution. The companies are pitching Remediated Mine Gas (RMG)—methane captured from coal mine ventilation systems—which, when blended with traditional natural gas, can achieve carbon-neutral power generation for a potential data center. 
Carrie Crumpton, Vice President of Environmental Strategy, presented on behalf of CNX Resources at the recent 2025 Shale Insight Conference. Carrie provided an overview and update on CNX’s 
In June, we reported that the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board (EHB), a special court in PA that hears appeals of decisions made by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), had ruled in favor of CNX Resources to allow two previously permitted wells in Penn Township (Westmoreland County) to move forward with construction (see 
For the week of August 25 – 31, the number of permits issued to drill new wells in the Marcellus/Utica decreased from the previous week. There were 19 new permits issued across the three M-U states last week, down from 30 issued two weeks ago. Pennsylvania issued just six new permits, with two going to CNX Resources in Greene County. Another two went to EQT (including Rice Drilling), also in Greene County. Seneca Resources and Formentera Operating both received a single permit in Cameron and Lycoming counties, respectively. 
EY, previously known as Ernst & Young, is a multinational professional services network (i.e., consulting firm) based in London. EY is also one of the “big four” largest accounting firms in the world. EY published a new study last week titled “US Oil and Gas Reserves, Production and ESG Benchmarking Study” (full copy below). The study found that due to mergers and acquisitions in 2024, the largest publicly traded oil and gas companies in the U.S. went from 50 down to 40, and that those 40 companies produced a staggering 41% of all O&G production in this country. It’s probably no surprise that many in the list produce natural gas (and oil) in the Marcellus/Utica. 
Most, but not all, of the publicly traded shale drillers operating in the Marcellus/Utica region have now issued their second quarter 2025 updates. There’s a common thread (that we previously missed) running through all of them: Production is increasing in the M-U. Of all the announced additions so far, if you add them all up, it’s around 1 Bcf/d (billion cubic feet per day) of extra production. But wait! Our region is pipeline-constrained (we’re maxing out what we can flow already). So, how can drillers produce even more? 
Last week, CNX Resources issued its second quarter 2025 update. The company reported a profit of $432.5 million for the quarter, compared with a loss of $18.3 million in 2Q24. The company generated $188 million in free cash flow, marking the 22nd consecutive quarter of FCF generation. Production was 167.6 Bcfe (billion cubic feet equivalent) in 2Q25 — which works out to 1.84 Bcfe/d — up from 134.0 Bcfe last year (a 25% increase). The reason for the dramatic increase was that CNX closed on the purchase of Apex Energy during the first quarter, and Apex’s production numbers were fully added to CNX’s numbers beginning in 2Q25. 
In May of 2024, CNX Resources Corp., KeyState Energy, and Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) announced they were working together on a $1.5 billion project that, if completed, would make sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at PIT from coalbed methane gas (see 
The special court established in Pennsylvania to hear appeals of Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) decisions, known as the Environmental Hearing Board (EHB), didn’t please anyone with a decision it rendered several weeks ago. We previously reported that the EHB had ruled in favor of CNX Resources to allow two previously permitted wells to move forward with construction (see 
A leftist anti-fossil group calling itself Protect PT (Penn-Trafford), located in Westmoreland County, PA, backed with big money from Big Green groups, has for years challenged Penn Township ordinances that allow Apex Energy (now CNX Resources) to drill and operate shale wells. Protect PT finally struck out (legally) at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in May 2020 (see
