Akron, OH-based Pin Oak Energy Partners LLC continued a buying spree on Wednesday, announcing that it had completed a transaction to acquire 4,300 gross acres in northwest Pennsylvania from Seneca Resources Corp.

National Fuel Gas Co.’s (NFG) exploration and production subsidiary, Seneca Resources Corp., said after a year of testing the Western Development Area (WDA) in northwest Pennsylvania, the Utica Shale assets are derisked, with full development ready to begin.

National Fuel Gas Co. management on Friday struck an aggravated but determined tone about the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) decision last month todeny key permits for the Northern Access expansion, saying the company remains committed to the project.

Seneca Resources Corp. agreed to pay the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) a $375,000 fine for violating the state’s Clean Streams Law, Dam Safety and Encroachment Act, the Oil and Gas Act and the Solid Waste Management Act.

National Fuel Gas Co.’s (NFG) exploration and production (E&P) subsidiary Seneca Resources Corp. gained ground during its fiscal 2017 first quarter when better Appalachian spot prices allowed it to open wells and get more production flowing. But it needs more pipeline capacity to keep the momentum.

National Fuel Gas Co.’s exploration and production subsidiary, Seneca Resources Corp., will prioritize additional Utica Shale appraisal drilling in an undeveloped part of Northwest Pennsylvania in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, which started in October, after encouraging test results there.

A small Northwest Pennsylvania township’s nearly four-year fight with Seneca Resources Corp. appears to be over after supervisors there overturned an ordinance banning underground injection wells that dispose of oil and natural gas wastewater.

National Fuel Gas Co.’s (NFG) exploration and production subsidiary, Seneca Resources Corp., is opening yet another frontier for Utica Shale development in Northwest Pennsylvania, saying the formation could ultimately be its primary target in a few years after encouraging test results in the region.

National Fuel Gas Co. (NFG) subsidiary Seneca Resources Corp. said Monday that it would extend its joint venture (JV) agreement with an affiliate of Dallas-based IOG Capital LP across 10,500 acres in Northern Pennsylvania, further reducing this year’s exploration and production budget.
