Nick was a recent guest on Shale Magazine’s “In the Oil Patch.” Nick discusses his western Pennsylvania roots and career at CNX Resources. He highlights the more than 155-year history of CNX and its modern-day evolution to becoming one of the largest independent natural gas exploration, development and production companies in the Appalachian Basin.

Responding to a question on his outlook for the natural gas industry in 2022, Nick says, “it goes back to the fundamentals…there’s always going to be twists and turns…I think Appalachia, via the Marcellus and Utica, is clearly the low-cost basin not just within the United States but positioned very well across the globe.” Nick explains how massively impactful the natural gas industry is for quality of life both domestically and across the world.

Nick goes on to address CNX’s philosophy on being in the business of manufacturing free cash flow, his views on ESG investing, and why he feels there’s a moral responsibility as a CEO to advocate for domestic energy and counter fabricated mistruths.
