General Notes:

  1. In September 2020, the merger with CNX Midstream Partners LP was completed. To enable benchmarking of data for this and future reports, all years shown include data from these assets.
  2. These metrics have been calculated using the best available data at the time of publication. Historic metrics are subject to change as we continuously seek to improve data management processes and methodologies as CNX strives to provide a high level of transparency, consistency, and accuracy.
  3. Data denoted with “n/a” was either not collected in prior years or is no longer readily available.
