New Inventory! Multi Shale Play Opportunity that is in the prime expansion area for both EQT and CNX!
For Sale: 62+/- unleased net mineral acres in North Huntington Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
About 1.5 miles northeast of this opportunity is the CNX (formerly Apex)—Drakulic Well Site. According to the Area of Review plans, this acreage was slated for drilling from the Drakulic pad. Development at the Drakulic site has encountered some unnecessary challenges, primarily due to a prolonged appeal process initiated by an activist group aiming to halt all development. However, the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board recently ruled in favor of the Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), upholding their permit issuance and dismissing the challenges against PADEP’s review and approvals, as well as the proposed operations.
In summary, CNX has allowed the original Drakulic permits to expire and intends to restart the process at this site, although the timing remains uncertain.
If CNX doesn’t act quickly, EQT might expand into this area. Check out the map for more details.
CNX and EQT are the primary drillers in this area.
In 2025, CNX acquired additional acreage from Apex Energy, while EQT acquired additional acreage from Olympus Energy in the same area.
