Net acres include acreage attributable to our working interests in the properties. Additional adjustments (either increases or decreases) may be required as we further develop title to and further confirm our rights with respect to our various properties in anticipation of development. We believe that our assumptions and methodology in this regard are reasonable. See Risk Factors in Section 1A of this Form 10-K.

Acreage amounts are shown under the target strata CONSOL Energy expects to produce, although the reported acres may include rights to multiple gas seams (CBM, Utica, Marcellus, etc.). We have reviewed our drilling plans, our acreage rights and used our best judgment to reflect the acres in the strata we expect to produce. As more information is obtained or circumstances change, the acreage classification may change.

We calculate our present value at 10% (PV-10) in accordance with the following table. Management believes that the presentation of the non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) financial measure of PV-10 provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and sophisticated investors in evaluating oil and gas companies. Because many factors that are unique to each individual company impact the amount of future income taxes estimated to be paid, the use of a pre-tax measure is valuable when comparing companies based on reserves. PV-10 is not a measure of the financial or operating performance under GAAP. PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the

The heat values shown for Assigned Operating reserves are based on the 2015 actual quality and five-year forecasted quality for each mine/reserve, assuming that the coal is washed to an extent consistent with normal full-capacity operation of each mine's/complex's preparation plant. Actual quality is based on laboratory analysis of samples collected from coal shipments delivered in 2015. Forecasted quality is derived from exploration sample analysis results, which have been adjusted to account for anticipated moisture and for the effects of mining and coal preparation. The heat values shown for Accessible Reserves are based on as received, dry values obtained from drill hole analyses, adjusted for moisture, and prorated by the associated Assigned Operating product values to account for similar mining and processing methods.
|
(2)
|
Recoverable reserves are calculated based on the area in which mineable coal exists, coal seam thickness, and average density determined by laboratory testing of drill core samples. This calculation is adjusted to account for coal that will not be recovered during mining and for losses that occur if the coal is processed after mining. Reserve calculations do not include an adjustment for moisture that may be added during mining or processing, nor do the calculations include adjustments for dilution from rock lying above or below the coal seam. Reserves are reported only for those coal seams that are controlled by ownership or leases.
|

|
The heat value estimates for Northern Appalachian and Central Appalachian Unassigned coal reserves include adjustments for moisture that may be added during mining or processing as well as for dilution by rock lying above or below the coal seam. The mining and processing methods currently in use are used for these estimates. The heat value are estimates for the Illinois Basin. Unassigned reserves are based primarily on exploration drill core data that may not include adjustments for moisture added during mining or processing, or for dilution by rock lying above or below the coal seam.

140.8 Million tons of the Northern Appalachia leased tons are controlled by Consolidation Coal Company, a former subsidiary of CONSOL Energy that was sold in December 2013. As of filing these tons are still controlled by Consolidation Coal Company but are shown in CONSOL Energy's reserves due to a binding agreement that these tons will be released to CONSOL Energy following the change in name of the Lease Holder.

ITEM 1A.
|
Risk Factors
|
•
|
demand for natural gas and electricity in the United States is impacted by industrial production, which if weakened would negatively impact the revenues, margins and profitability of our natural gas and thermal coal business;
|
•
|
demand for metallurgical coal depends on steel demand in the United States and globally, which if weakened would negatively impact the revenues, margins and profitability of our metallurgical coal business including our ability to sell our thermal coal as higher-priced high volatile metallurgical coal;
|
•
|
the tightening of credit or lack of credit availability to our customers could adversely affect our ability to collect our trade receivables;
|
•
|
our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital for our business including for exploration and/or development of our gas or coal reserves; and
|
•
|
a decline in our creditworthiness, which may require us to post letters of credit, cash collateral, or surety bonds to secure certain obligations, all of which would have an adverse effect on our liquidity.
|
•
|
changes in the consumption pattern of industrial consumers, electricity generators and residential users;
|
•
|
weather conditions in our markets which affect the demand for natural gas and thermal coal (for example, the unusually warm 2011 - 2012 winter left utilities with large coal stockpiles and depressed the demand for thermal coal);
|
•
|
proximity and capacity of gas pipelines and other transportation facilities;
|
•
|
with respect to thermal coal, the price and availability of natural gas and the price and supply of imported liquefied natural gas;
|
•
|
with respect to natural gas, the price and availability of thermal coal;
|
•
|
technological advances affecting energy consumption;
|
•
|
the costs, availability and capacity of transportation infrastructure;
|
•
|
proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities;
|
•
|
the impact of domestic and foreign governmental laws and regulations, including environmental and climate change regulations and regulations affecting the coal mining industry and coal-fired power plants, and delays in the receipt of, failure to receive, failure to maintain or revocation of necessary governmental permits; and
|
•
|
increased utilization by the steel industry of electric arc furnaces or pulverized coal injection processes to make steel which reduce or eliminate the use of furnace coke, an intermediate product produced from metallurgical coal,and decreases the demand for metallurgical coal.
|
•
|
unexpected drilling conditions;
|
•
|
title problems;
|
•
|
pressure or irregularities in geologic formations;
|
•
|
equipment failures or repairs;
|
•
|
fires, explosions or other accidents;
|
•
|
adverse weather conditions;
|
•
|
reductions in natural gas prices;
|
•
|
security breaches or terroristic acts;
|
•
|
pipeline ruptures;
|
•
|
lack of adequate capacity for treatment or disposal of waste water generated in drilling, completion and production operations;
|
•
|
environmental contamination from surface spillage of fluids used in well drilling, completion or operation including fracturing fluids used in hydraulic fracturing of wells, or other contamination of groundwater or the environment resulting from our use of such fluids; and
|
•
|
unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, other field services and equipment.
|
•
|
variations in thickness of the layer, or seam, of coal;
|
•
|
adverse geological conditions, including amounts of rock and other natural materials intruding into the coal that could affect the stability of the roof and the side walls of the mine - for example, unit costs were negatively impacted in 2014 due to adverse geological conditions at the Enlow Fork mine, primarily related to sandstone intrusions, along with adverse geological conditions and equipment issues at the Harvey mine, primarily related to sandstone intrusions, which resulted in reduced coal production at both the Enlow Fork and Harvey mines;
|
•
|
environmental hazards;
|
•
|
equipment failures or unexpected maintenance problems;
|
•
|
fires or explosions, including as a result of methane, coal, coal dust or other explosive materials and/or other accidents;
|
•
|
inclement or hazardous weather conditions and natural disasters or other force majeure events;
|
•
|
seismic activities, ground failures, rock bursts or structural cave-ins or slides;

|
•
|
other hazards that could also result in personal injury and loss of life, pollution and suspension of operations.
|
•
|
personal injury or loss of life;
|
•
|
damage to and destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, including our coal properties and our coal production or transportation facilities;

•
|
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
|
•
|
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of interest and principal due under our outstanding debt, which will limit our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development of our gas and coal reserves or other general corporate requirements;
|
•
|
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in the coal and gas industries;
|
•
|
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors with lower leverage and better access to capital resources; and
|
•
|
limiting our ability to implement our business strategy.
|
•
|
our production is less than expected;
|
•
|
the counterparties to our contracts fail to perform the contracts; or
|

On July 7, 2015, CNX Coal Resources LP (CNXC) closed its initial public offering. Additionally, Greenlight Capital entered into a common unit purchase agreement with CNXC pursuant to which Greenlight Capital agreed to purchase, and CNXC agreed to sell, 5,000,000 common units at a price per unit equal to $15.00, which equates to $75,000 in net proceeds. CNXC's general partner is CNX Coal Resources GP, a wholly owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy. The underwriters of the IPO filing exercised an over-allotment option of 561,067 common units to the public at $15.00 per unit. The total net proceeds distributed to CONSOL Energy related to this transaction, along with CNXC entering into a new senior secured revolving credit facility, were $342,711.

The improvement in unit costs is primarily due to the shift to lower cost Marcellus and Utica Shale production and the
39.5%
increase in total volumes sold in the period-to-period comparison. Marcellus production made up 51.3% of natural gas and liquid sales volumes in the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to 47.4% in the year ended
December 31, 2014
. Utica production made up 17.1% of natural gas and liquid sales volumes in the year ended
December 31, 2015
compared to 7.1% in the year ended
December 31, 2014
.
|
•
|
Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased on a unit basis primarily due to the adjustment to our shallow oil and gas rates following impairment in the carrying value that was recognized in the second quarter of 2015, as well as the increase in sales volumes from our lower cost Marcellus and Utica production. The decrease was offset, in part, by an increase in total dollars as production continued to grow.
|
•
|
Lifting costs also decreased on a unit basis in the period-to-period comparison due to the overall increase in gas sales volumes. The decrease in unit costs was partially offset by an increase in repairs and maintenance, salt water disposal, and contractual services related to well tending.
|
•
|
Direct administrative costs decreased on a unit basis primarily due to ongoing cost reduction efforts, the Company reorganization that occurred in the 2015 period, as well as the increase in gas sales volumes.

The improvement in the unit costs is primarily due to the
36.7%
increase in volumes in the period-to-period comparison and the shift to lower cost Marcellus and Utica Shale production. Marcellus production made up
47.4%
of natural gas and liquid sales volume for the year ended
December 31, 2014
compared to
33.6%
in the year ended
December 31, 2013
.
|
•
|
Lifting costs per unit decreased in the period-to-period comparison due to the increase in sales volumes. The decrease was offset, in part, by an increase in total dollars relating to higher salt water disposal, well site maintenance costs, and costs related to wells operated by our joint-venture partners.
|
•
|
Gathering expense per unit also decreased in the period-to-period comparison due to the increase in sales volumes. The decrease in unit costs was partially offset by an increase in total dollars related to an increase in firm transportation costs and increased processing fees associated with natural gas liquids (NGLs).

Net income decreased $528 million in the period-to-period comparison;
|
•
|
Adjustments to reconcile net income to cash flow provided by operating activities increased $829 million due to the impairment of exploration and production properties (see Note 11 - Property, Plant and Equipment, in the Notes to Audited Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information), offset, in part, by a decrease of $142 million related to changes in deferred taxes, a decrease of $197 million due to the unrealized gain on commodity derivative instruments, a decrease of $216 million in other post-employment benefits plan amendments, and additional depreciation, depletion, and amortization of $44 million.
|
•
|
Other changes in operating assets, operating liabilities, other assets and other liabilities which occurred throughout both periods also contributed to the
decrease
in operating cash flows.
|
•
|
Gas segment capital expenditures decreased $271 million due to a decrease in drilling and completion costs in the Marcellus and Utica plays as the Company temporarily suspended these operations in August 2015 due to depressed commodity prices. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company resumed completions operations on its inventory of drilled but uncompleted wells.
|
•
|
Coal segment capital expenditures decreased $200 million primarily due to the completion of the Harvey Mine in the prior period, as well as, decreased maintenance of production capital at the PA operations complex.
|
•
|
Proceeds from the sale of assets decreased $247 million. Sales in 2015 include $76 million received in September 2015 related to the sale of CONSOL Energy's interest in its Western Allegheny Energy joint venture as well as various other smaller transactions which occurred in 2015. Significant sales in 2014 include $75 million received in March 2014 related to the Harvey Mine shield sale-leaseback as well as $46 million received in January 2014 as reimbursement from Noble Energy for 50% of the Dominion Resources lease acquisition and $14 million received in June 2014 related to the McElroy shields buyout. Additionally, the fourth quarter of 2014 included $97 million in proceeds from the sale of coal mines and reserves in Illinois and a $52 million sale of the Company’s interest in Shaft Drillers International, as well as various other transactions that occurred throughout 2014. See Note 3 - Acquisitions and Dispositions, in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information. The remaining increase was due to various items that occurred throughout both periods, none of which were individually material.
|
•
|
Cash provided by equity affiliates decreased $179 million primarily due to a $204 million decrease in return of investments due to the IPO of CONE Midstream Partners, LP occurring in September 2014 along with an $18 million reduction in

|
•
|
In the year ended December 31, 2015, CONSOL Energy had net payments of $771 million related to the partial extinguishment of the 2020 and 2021 bonds offset, in part, by the issuance of the 2023 bonds.

This category invests in small to mid-sized U.S. companies that appear to be undervalued relative to their intrinsic value. It targets broad diversification across economic sectors and seeks to achieve lower overall portfolio volatility by investing in complementary active managers with varying risk characteristics. Fund selection and allocations within the portfolio are implemented by Mercer’s investment management team. The smaller cap orientation of the strategy requires the investment team to be cognizant of liquidity and capital constraints, which are monitored on an ongoing basis. The strategy is benchmarked to the Russell 2500 Value Index.
|
(f)
|
This category invests primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade and government securities. It may also invest opportunistically in out-of-benchmark positions including U.S. high yield, non-U.S. bonds, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPs). The strategy seeks to achieve lower overall portfolio volatility by investing in complementary active managers with varying risk characteristics, and total portfolio duration is targeted to be within 20% of the benchmark’s duration. Total exposure to high yield issues is typically less than 10%, inclusive of direct investment in high yield and exposure through other core fixed income funds. Fund selection and allocations within the portfolio are implemented by Mercer’s investment management team. The strategy is benchmarked to the Barclays Capital Aggregate Index.

|
(i)
|

The strategy targets a diversified portfolio of equity securities issued by companies which the investment managers believe will exhibit less volatility in their price performance relative to the broad equity market as described by the MSCI World Index. The strategy is benchmarked to the MSCI World Index.
|
(j)
|
This category invests in a passively managed U.S. long duration corporate investment grade portfolio at a 90% weight and a passively managed U.S. Long Treasury portfolio at a 10% weight. It seeks to provide broad exposure to U.S. long duration investment grade credit while allowing for short term liquidity through a strategic allocation to US Treasuries. The strategy is benchmarked 90% to the Barclays Capital U.S. Long Credit Index and 10% to the Barclays Capital Long Treasury.
|
(k)
|
This category invests primarily in U.S. dollar denominated investment grade bonds and government securities with durations between 9 and 15 years.

|
(o)
|
This category seeks to reduce the volatility of the plan’s funded status and extend the duration of the assets by investing in a series of ultra long duration portfolios with target durations of up to 35 years. Each underlying portfolio is managed by a sub-advisor and consists of five interest rate swaps with sequential target or maturity dates, with the longest dated portfolio maturing in 2045. The interest rate swaps are fully collateralized, resulting in no leverage. The cash collateral is invested by the sub-advisor in an actively managed cash strategy that seeks to provide a return in excess of 3 month LIBOR. The ultra long duration strategy is used in conjunction with liability driven investing solutions, which seek to align the duration of the assets to the plan’s liabilities. The Strategy is benchmarked to a Custom Liability Benchmark Portfolio.
|
(p)

|
|
(a)
|
Revisions are primarily due to corporate planning changes that affect the number of wells (5-Years) forecasted to be drilled in our various areas and reservoirs. These changes along with upward revisions attributable to efficiencies in operations and well performance had the total affect of the positive revisions for 2013.
|
(b)
|
Extensions and Discoveries in 2013 are primarily due to the addition of wells on our Marcellus Shale acreage more than one offset location away with reliable technology.
|
(c)
|
Proved developed and proved undeveloped gas reserves are defined by SEC Rule 4.10(a) of Regulation S-X. Generally, these reserves would be commercially recovered under current economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. CONSOL Energy cautions that there are many inherent uncertainties in estimating proved reserve quantities, projecting future production rates and timing of development expenditures. Proved oil and gas reserves are estimated quantities of natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and government regulations. Proved developed reserves are reserves expected to be recovered through existing wells, with existing equipment and operating methods.
|
(d)
|
Revisions for 2014 are primarily due to efficiencies in operations and
well optimization and had the total effect of positive revisions. Additionally, the 2014 revisions include a reclassification of ethane volumes from natural gas to NGLs.
|
(e)
|
Extensions and Discoveries in 2014 are primarily due to the addition of wells on our Marcellus and Utica Shale acreage. We also included Marcellus Shale wells which are more than one offset location away due to continued use of reliable technology.
|
(f)
|
The upward revisions in 2015 are attributable to efficiencies in operations and well performance.
|
(g)
|
Extensions and Discoveries in 2015 are due mainly to the high grading of locations which resulted in the addition of wells on our Marcellus and Utica Shale acreage more than one offset location away with continued use of reliable technology.
|
(h)
|
Included in our proved developed reserves at December 31, 2015 are producing wells with negative undiscounted cash flows that represent 258.1 Bcfe of natural gas and equivalents which represents 4.6% of our total reserves quantities. These consist primarily of conventional wells and the company includes these wells in our reserves as we continue to produce the properties.

(a)
|
During
2015
, various exploration and development drilling and evaluations were completed. Approximately, $
330,686
of
capital was spent in the year ended December 31,
2015
related to undeveloped reserves that were transferred to developed.
|
(c)
|
Extensions and discoveries in 2015 are due mainly to the high grading of locations which resulted in the addition of wells on our Marcellus and Utica Shale acreage more than one offset location away with continued use of reliable technology.
|
(d)
|
Included in proved undeveloped reserves at December 31,
2015
are approximately 215,987 MMcfe of reserves that have been reported for more than five years. These reserves specifically relate to CONSOL Energy's Buchanan Mine, more specifically, to GOB (a rubble zone formed in the cavity created by the extraction of coal) production due to a complex fracture being generated in the overburden strata above the mined seam. Mining operations take a significant amount of time and our GOB forecasts are consistent with the future plans of the Buchanan Mine. Evidence also exists that supports the continual operation of the mine beyond the current plan, unless there was an extreme circumstance resulting from an external factor. These reasons constitute that specific circumstances exist to continue recognizing these reserves for CONSOL Energy.
|
(e)
|
Included in proved undeveloped reserves at December 31,
2015
are 293 gross proved undeveloped locations that generate positive future net revenue but have negative present worth discounted at 10 percent as of December 31,
2015
, representing 36.0% of our total proved undeveloped reserves. Additionally, the 700.9
Bcfe of natural gas and equivalents attributable to these locations represent approximately 12.4% of our total proved reserves. The Company includes these well sites in its current drilling plans and currently intends to drill these sites as our economic modeling of these well locations generate positive future cash flows.

I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of CONSOL Energy Inc.;
|
2.
|
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
|
3.
|
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
|
4.
|
The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
|
(a)
|
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
|
(b)
|
Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
|
(c)
|
Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
|
(d)
|
Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and
|
5.
|
The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
|
(a)
|
All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
|
(b)
|
Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
