CNX - Appalachia First

CNX Press Release 'An Appalachia-Focused Vision for the Future' published on December 12, 2022.

CNX Resources Corp. (NYSE: CNX) launched "Appalachia First," its vision for the future which draws on the company's regional leadership, core operational strengths, and innovative business model.

As the region's premier low carbon intensive natural gas development, technology, and applications company, CNX is uniquely positioned to help revolutionize Appalachia, one of the world's most energy abundant regions, into an energy, manufacturing, and technology hub of the future.

Specifically, Appalachia First is rooted in three key objectives:

Leverage CNX’s and Appalachia’s natural gas opportunity by bolstering all sectors of the economy through lower-cost, lower-carbon, and locally produced natural gas.
As one of the largest, most efficient, and environmentally sustainable sources of natural gas in the world, Appalachia (consisting of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia) are equipped with the tools to lead the sustainable revolution touching all sectors of the economy – including energy, manufacturing, technology, and transportation.

Develop and deploy a new wave of innovative technologies and enhance local communities by using natural gas product derivatives for vertical market growth.

Combined with new technology and derivative products, natural gas catalyzes a more sustainable future. CNX and Appalachia can fuel new industrial and manufacturing growth through local natural gas derivatives by:
Using proprietary technology to change manufacturing processes for the extraction and delivery of natural gas.
Capturing and converting GHG into sustainable products and applications.
Jumpstarting the local hydrogen economy.

Transform the sectors of aviation, plastics, rail, cargo, mass transit, trucking, and fleet and passenger vehicles by displacing higher carbon fuels with locally produced natural gas.
The U.S. is the world’s largest producer and a net exporter of petroleum and natural gas products, but we still import a lot of foreign oil that can be supplanted with CNG and LNG to transform the region’s hard-to-abate sectors.

In Remembrance of Thomas Morris Sr.

Obituary published on December 8, 2022, in The Bradford Era

PIOGA extends our sincere condolences to the Morris family on the passing of long-time member, Thomas Morris Sr. of Dallas-Energy (Dallas-Morris Drilling Inc.), a well-known person in the oil and gas industry. Please find a partial obituary below - for the full obituary, visit: Thomas Morris Obituary (2022) - Bradford, PA - The Bradford Era (legacy.com)

Thomas J. Morris Sr., 90, of Morris Lane, Bradford, passed away, Sunday (Dec. 4, 2022) at his home, while in the company of his beloved wife and family.

Above all else, Tom was a family man and a working man. His wife, Ann, of 65 years was his dearest companion and the love of his life.

Together, they raised five children, each one blessed to have forged a special relationship with their father - in them, his morals, values, and legacy lives on.

As a working man, Tom learned how to work from his father, an oil field contractor who moved drilling rigs and equipment throughout the region in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. In 1958 he partnered with his father and brother to expand their services and acquired cable tool drilling rigs. In 1979, Tom and his sons formed Dallas-Morris Drilling Inc. where he served as President until his death. Tom was instrumental in the growth and success of his family's oilfield business which is now four generations strong. Throughout his career, Tom employed many hundreds of hardworking men and women who were, because of him, able to provide for their families. Tom enjoyed his work and worked until his death.

Tom was a loyal husband, caring father, role-model grandfather, and fair boss. He was a provider all his life.
