History

Following the initial 2011 purchase of 50,000 acres in West Virginia, our company embarked on a series of successful natural-gas operations in which we increased production performance by 40 percent, while reducing cost-per-foot by 44 percent.

Building upon this conspicuous success, we strategically explored additional acquisition opportunities, ultimately increasing our core position to approximately 208,000 net acres.
