About National Fuel Gas Company
About National Fuel Gas Company
Seneca Resources Company held proved developed and undeveloped natural gas reserves of 4,980,410 MMcf plus 180 thousand barrels of oil at September 30, 2025, anchoring National Fuel Gas Company's Appalachian Basin operations spanning Marcellus and Utica shale development in Pennsylvania. In fiscal 2025, the three segments contributed combined net income of $528.9 million: Integrated Upstream and Gathering $324.7 million, Pipeline and Storage $121.0 million, and Utility $83.2 million, with the Utility serving approximately 756,000 customers in western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania.
The Pipeline and Storage segment, operated by Supply Corporation and Empire Pipeline, transports natural gas through integrated systems in Pennsylvania and New York under FERC-regulated straight-fixed-variable tariffs that recover fixed costs in reservation charges regardless of volume. The Utility segment operates under rates approved by the New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PaPUC); small residential and commercial customers are largely protected from commodity price swings by rate mechanisms, while large commercial and industrial customers source gas independently from unregulated marketers. Seneca hedges a substantial portion of future natural gas sales to manage commodity price volatility. The Utility purchased 77.4 billion cubic feet of gas in fiscal 2025, with DTE Energy Trading, Inc. accounting for 33% of Utility gas purchases; together the top five suppliers—DTE Energy Trading (33%), Emera Energy Services (11%), Chevron Natural Gas (10%), Shell Energy North America (7%), and NRG Business Marketing (6%)—represented nearly 67% of those purchases.

New York State's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), passed in July 2019, creates escalating risk for the Utility segment: in May 2023, New York prohibited fossil fuel equipment in new buildings effective December 31, 2025, and a New York State court directed the NYDEC in October 2025 to promulgate greenhouse-gas-reduction regulations by February 6, 2026. The December 2024 Climate Change Superfund Act further requires fossil fuel producers and related entities to pay into a state climate fund based on past greenhouse gas emissions, though NYDEC has until June 2027 to develop implementing regulations and multiple federal court challenges to the Act are pending.
