Marcellus Shale Success Continues - Raising 2009 Production
Guidance to 89 Bcf Earnings Impact of Low Spot Prices Partially
Mitigated by Attractive Hedges PITTSBURGH, July 30
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CNX Gas Corporation (NYSE: CXG) reported
net income attributable to CNX Gas shareholders of $33.0 million,
or $0.22 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
This was just over one-half of the net income attributable to CNX
Gas shareholders of $64.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for
the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Production was 22.5 billion cubic
feet (Bcf), or 247.0 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day, for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009. This was another quarterly production
record, and 20% higher than the 18.8 Bcf, or 206.5 MMcf per day,
for the year-ago quarter. "CNX Gas continued its operational
excellence by safely setting another quarterly production record,"
said J. Brett Harvey, chairman and chief executive officer. "With
our unfolding Marcellus Shale success, we are raising our 2009
production guidance by another 2 Bcf, to 89 Bcf. Also, our
excellent hedge position kept us from experiencing the full
financial effect of the collapse in spot gas prices. During this
period of low prices, our focus is on reducing costs while leasing
more Marcellus acreage in southwestern Pennsylvania. On July 28, we
announced the leasing of an additional 40,000 acres with Marcellus
Shale potential." Earnings for the quarter were negatively affected
by several items. The company took a $6 million charge for dry hole
and exploration costs because a test well in the Huron Shale in
Virginia proved to be uneconomic. Stock-based compensation expense
also increased by $4 million over the year-earlier quarter,
primarily due to fair value adjustments associated with the
exchange offer to convert CNX Gas performance share units into
CONSOL restricted stock units. Short-term incentive compensation
was also $2 million higher than the year-earlier quarter due to
achieving higher production and other targeted factors. TABLE 1

Production results are net of royalties. Quarter-to-Quarter
Discussion of Price and Costs Per Net Mcf The average price
realized for the company's gas production was $6.71 per Mcf for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, or $2.92 lower than the $9.63 per Mcf
received for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The average realized
price for the just-ended quarter included 12.5 Bcf hedged at $8.96
per Mcf. Unhedged production was sold at substantially lower
prices. Unit operating costs for company production, exclusive of
royalties, were $3.57 per Mcf in the just-ended quarter, or a
decrease of $0.12 from the $3.69 per Mcf for the quarter ended June
30, 2008. Overall, production costs were negatively affected by the
deferral of nearly 1.0 Bcf during the quarter from the idling of
Buchanan Mine. This mine-related gas is among the lowest cost gas
produced by CNX Gas. Pre-tax unit margins for company production
were $3.14 per Mcf in the June 30, 2009 quarter, a decrease of
$2.80 from the $5.94 per Mcf in the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Administration exclude incentive compensation and other corporate
items. Unit lifting costs were lower, in part, because of fewer
workovers conducted in the just-ended quarter. Higher production
volumes also helped to lower unit lifting costs. Unit production
taxes were much lower in the just-ended quarter because they are
calculated on average realized price before the effect of hedging.
Due to market conditions, these prices were significantly lower in
the just-ended quarter. Unit production DD&A was higher in the
just-ended quarter because of the impact of investment in 2008
relative to commensurate 2008 reserve additions. This ratio was
above historical levels in 2008, resulting in a higher unit charge
in 2009. Gathering operating costs were lower partly as the result
of turn backs of rented compressors, as the pace of drilling slowed
for low-pressure coalbed methane wells. Higher production volumes
also helped to lower unit costs. Firm transportation costs have
increased due to acquiring additional capacity in the Northern
Appalachian region in anticipation of greater production volumes.
Operations Update During the second quarter, CNX Gas employees
worked another quarter without incurring a lost time accident. This
raises the cumulative time worked by employees without a lost time
incident to over 3.8 million hours. CNX Gas drilled 55 vertical
frac wells in its Virginia CBM Operations during the second quarter
and 118 wells in the first six months. CNX Gas expects to drill 175
wells in Virginia in 2009. Results are now in from two horizontal
CBM wells drilled late in 2008. One well targeted the Pochahontas
#3 seam (the mineable seam), while the second targeted the
(shallower) Pocahontas #4 seam. Both achieved peak daily production
of 400 Mcf. One is producing 328 Mcf per day after 116 days, while
the other is producing 230 Mcf per day after 191 days. In the
Marcellus Shale, CNX Gas drilled, completed, and brought online its
sixth, seventh, and eighth horizontal wells during the quarter. The
peak daily production from these wells was 3.7 MMcf, 3.2 MMcf, and
4.1 MMcf, respectively. Drilling and completion costs continue to
improve. As previously reported, the fifth well in the table cost
$3.8 million. The wells drilled during this quarter cost $3.5
million or less. The table below summarizes results since the
inception of the company's horizontal Marcellus Shale program:

GH10BCV 6/27/09 7/15/09 4.1 3.5 44 Average Peak 4.1 The company is
now using a top hole rig to drill the 6,000-ft. vertical portion of
its Marcellus Shale wells, while using its one horizontal rig to
drill into the curve and the nearly 3,000-ft. lateral. This paired
rig concept has had the effect of increasing the number of
horizontal wells that the company can now drill every month from
one to two. It is also helping to lower costs. CNX Gas is also
placing more wells on a single pad. The eighth well drilled was the
third to be drilled on a single pad. By year-end, CNX Gas plans to
increase the number of horizontal Marcellus Shale wells drilled
from a single pad to six. "CNX Gas continues to refine its drilling
techniques in the Marcellus Shale," noted J. Brett Harvey. "As a
result, our finding costs in the Marcellus Shale could now be below
$1.00 per Mcf, assuming costs continue trending below $3.5 million,
and reserves exceed the type curve of 3.5 Bcf per well. With our
having completed eight successful horizontal wells, I feel that CNX
Gas is achieving results as good as any of our competitors.
Especially considering that our first horizontal Marcellus Shale
well only came online in October of last year, these are
outstanding results and are a credit to our technical and
operations teams." Acreage Update CNX Gas currently has
approximately 230,000 acres with Marcellus Shale potential, having
leased a total of 40,000 acres in two separate transactions
announced on July 28. Financial Update The company continues to
monitor and evaluate capital spending to ensure adequate liquidity
and to preserve options for possible external investment. With
regard to capital, CNX Gas intends to spend largely within its net
cash from operating activities for 2009. Capital expenditures were
$80.2 million during the second quarter. The company ended the
quarter with $81.0 million drawn on its $200 million credit
facility. This is up only $0.6 million from March 31, 2009. Cash on
hand was $7.6 million. CNX Gas also has outstanding letters of
credit of $14.9 million. Return on capital employed for the quarter
was 8.6%, on an after tax basis. Guidance The 2009 production
guidance is raised by 2 Bcf to 89 Bcf. If achieved, this means that
CNX Gas will have produced 16% more than the 76.6 Bcf produced in
2008. CNX Gas locked in the pricing on more of its production for
2009-2012 during the just-ended quarter. Management thought it
prudent to provide more revenue certainty over a greater portion of
its production, especially for 2010. TABLE 4 GUIDANCE 2009 2010

http://www.cnxgas.com/ Definition: EBIT is defined as earnings
(excluding cumulative effect of accounting change) before deducting
net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) and
income taxes. EBITDA is defined as earnings (excluding cumulative
effect of accounting change) before deducting net interest expense
(interest expense less interest income), income taxes, and
depreciation, depletion and amortization. Although EBIT and EBITDA
are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, management believes that
they are useful to an investor in evaluating CNX Gas because they
are widely used to evaluate a company's operating performance
before debt expense and its cash flow. EBIT and EBITDA do not
purport to represent cash generated by operating activities and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
measures of performance in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, because all companies do not
calculate EBIT and EBITDA identically, the presentation here may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

capital employed (ROCE) is a performance measure ratio. ROCE is
defined as net income plus after-tax interest expense, divided by
average capital employed. Below is a calculation of ROCE for the
June 2009 quarter. In order to annualize the result on a compounded
basis, a "1" is added to the quarterly ROCE, before it is raised to
the fourth power. Quarter Ended Return on Capital Employed June 30,

Average capital employed $1,634,973 ---------- Return on average
capital employed 2.1% ---- Return on average capital
employed-annualized 8.6% ---- Although ROCE is not a measure of
performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, management believes that ROCE is a useful
measure because it indicates the return on all capital, which
includes equity and debt, employed in the business. Management
believes that ROCE is an additional measure of efficiency when
considered in conjunction with return on equity, which measures the
return on only the shareholders' equity component of total capital
employed. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING
