Consol Energy Bolsters Gas Hedges Going into 2016

CONSOL Energy Inc. announced changes to its hedging program.

CONSOL has added additional natural gas hedges to further reduce risks related to commodity price volatility. CONSOL Energy's hedged gas volumes include a combination of NYMEX financial hedges and index financial hedges (NYMEX plus basis). In addition, to protect the NYMEX hedge volumes from basis exposure, CONSOL enters into basis-only financial hedges and physical sales with fixed basis at certain sales points. 

CONSOL Energy continued to add gas hedges through 2018. CONSOL's 2016 NYMEX plus basis hedge position increased to 222.0 Bcf at an average hedge price of $3.28 per Mcf. NYMEX plus basis hedge volumes are not exposed to basis differentials but instead have protected revenue. For instance, in 2016, NYMEX plus basis gas hedges lock in revenue of approximately $730 million.

CONSOL Energy's gas hedge position as of December 10, 2015 is shown in the table below:
