Consol Energy Inc. core businesses consist of our:
• Pennsylvania Mining Complex: The PAMC, which includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine, the Harvey Mine and the Central Preparation Plant, has extensive high-quality coal reserves. We mine our reserves from the Pittsburgh No. 8 Coal Seam, which is a large contiguous formation of high-Btu coal that is ideal for high-productivity, low-cost longwall operations. The design of the PAMC is optimized to produce large quantities of coal on a cost-efficient basis.
We own a 75% undivided interest in the PAMC, and the remaining 25% is owned by CCR, as discusse below.
• CCR Ownership: CONSOLEnergy owns, directly or indirectly, through CCR's general partner, 61.5% of the partnership, which is comprised of a 1.7% general partner interest and a 59.8% limited partner interest. At December 31, 2019, CCR’s assets included a 25% undivided interest in, and full operational control over, the PAMC.
Summary:
The Pennsylvania mining complex, which includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine and the Harvey Mine, has extensive high-quality coal reserves. The Pittsburgh No. 8 Coal Seam is a large contiguous formation of uniform, high-Btu thermal coal.
Summary:
The design of the Pennsylvania mining complex is optimized to produce large quantities of coal on a cost-efficient basis. All of mines utilize longwall mining, which is a highly automated underground mining technique that produces large volumes of coal at lower costs compared to other underground mining methods. Generally the company operate five longwalls and 15-17 continuous mining sections at the Pennsylvania mining complex.
The Harvey mine uses approximately four continuous mining units to develop the mains and gate roads for its longwall panels. The longwall has a panel width (or face length) of approximately 1,500 feet, a panel length of approximately 15,000 feet and a seam height of approximately 6.9 feet. The Harvey mine’s existing infrastructure, including its bottom development, slope belt and material handling system, has the capacity to add one incremental permanent longwall mining system with additional mine development and capital investment.
