Cnx Resources's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
The United States natural gas industry is highly competitive and more diversified than the coal industry. CONSOL Energy competes with other large producers, as well as thousands of smaller producers, pipeline imports from Canada, and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from around the globe.
Natural gas has lost three percent of market share in the U.S. electric generation market compared to record natural gas generation in 2012 (based on preliminary 2013 results). However, we expect natural gas to become a more significant contributor to the domestic electric generation mix in the long-term, as well as fuel industrial growth in the U.S. economy. There is potential for natural gas to become a significant contributor to the transportation market. Additionally, the U.S. is expected to become a net exporter of gas in the next few years.
Our increasing gas production will allow CONSOL Energy to participate in these
growing markets.
CONSOL Energys gas operations are primarily located in the eastern United States.
The gas market is highly fragmented and not dominated by any single producer.
We believe that competition within our market is based primarily on natural
gas commodity trading fundamentals and pipeline transportation availability
to the various markets.
Continued demand for CONSOL Energys natural gas and the prices that CONSOL Energy obtains are affected by natural gas use in the production of electricity, U.S. manufacturing and the overall strength of the economy, environmental and government regulation, technological developments and the availability and price of competing alternative fuel supplies.
The United States coal industry is highly competitive, with numerous producers selling into all markets that use coal. CONSOL Energy competes against several other large producers and numerous small producers in the United States and overseas. Demand for our coal by our principal customers is affected by many factors including:
the price of competing coal and alternative fuel supplies, including nuclear,
natural gas, oil and
renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectric power, wind or solar;
environmental and government regulation;
coal quality;
transportation costs from the mine to the customer;
the reliability of fuel supply;
worldwide demand for steel;
natural/weather disasters; and
political changes in international governments.
Continued demand for CONSOL Energys coal and the prices that CONSOL Energy obtains are affected by demand for electricity, technological developments, environmental and governmental regulation, and the availability and price of competing coal and alternative fuel supplies. We sell coal to foreign electricity generators and to the more specialized metallurgical coal markets, both of which are significantly affected by international demand and competition.
