Key Points
- CNX Resources Corp (CNX) reported Q2 volumes in line with annual projections, achieving 4.5 Bcf, which is on the higher end of their guidance range.
- The company saw an increase in other revenue and operating income, driven by higher environmental attribute sales and strong water revenue from third-party fracs.
- The deep Utica wells are meeting expectations on both cost and performance, indicating potential for future growth.
- CNX Resources Corp (CNX) is developing new technologies, such as AutoSet and CNG, which are expected to contribute meaningfully to revenue and cash flow starting in 2025.
- Service costs have remained flat in the first half of the year, and projections indicate they will stay flat for the remainder of the year, providing cost stability.
- The new technologies division's revenue contributions for 2024 are not expected to be material, with significant impacts anticipated only from 2025 onwards.
- The company is not curtailing any additional production but is cautious about growing production next year due to uncertain pricing developments.
- The impact of the 45V hydrogen tax credit on coal mine methane projects is still uncertain, with guidance expected in Q3 or Q4, delaying potential project implementations.
