Natural gas and NGL producer focused on the Utica shale in Ohio and SCOOP play in Oklahoma.
Sells the gas and liquids it produces at market-linked prices, so revenue tracks gas prices, softened in part by hedges, which are financial contracts that fix future prices. Most of its output is gas from the Utica shale. It was reorganized in bankruptcy in 2021.
Moat: narrow (scale, installed base). Concentrated, low-cost Utica acreage position, but a commodity price-taking producer.
