Safety. Community. Environmental Stewardship.
Seneca Resources has been providing jobs and energy for over 120 years. Our story began before the Marcellus Shale boom, and we’ll be here long after short-term players move on.
You value your property. Choose a leasing partner that shares your values.
Seneca Resources is a long-term operator in Pennsylvania, backed by the strength and stability of National Fuel Gas.
We partner directly with landowners to responsibly develop natural gas resources, delivering meaningful value through upfront leasing payments, long-term royalty income, and responsible development practices that support local communities. We understand that how we operate matters to communities.
A better choice for the long term.
Seneca Resources is part of National Fuel’s integrated system, which provides unique financial stability and long-term planning opportunities. Landowners can trust that we won’t disappear when gas prices dip.
It’s more than a number.
Big promises are easy. Delivering over time is harder. Landowners should feel confident in who they’re partnering with. Our Land team works side-by-side with property owners at every stage—from leasing and title through surface coordination and production—providing a transparent, relationship-driven experience throughout the life of the asset.
