Canonsburg, PA based CONSOL Energy Inc., (CNX - Free Report) is a multi-fuel energy producer and an energy services provider, primarily catering to the U.S. power producers. The company principally operates two business lines: Coal and Natural Gas.
CONSOL Energy’s increasing focus on natural gas, along with its remaining coal operation, will help it to survive difficult industry fundamentals even when some of its coal-focused peers are going bankrupt. CONSOL is also assiduously lowering its costs and expects more cost saves in the future
Last year, CONSOL Energy formed a coal MLP, CNX Coal Resources (CNXC - Free Report) to concentrate more on E&P activities. These modifications will benefit the company in the long term with separate management teams assigned to run each of the businesses.
CONSOL Energy’s focus on expanding its gas operations is yielding positive results. The company targets a 15% year over year increase in gas production in 2016.
