Alpha Natural Resources announced Tuesday the divestment of substantially all assets of two separate operations, a coal mine and a natural gas operation, both located in central West Virginia. The Green Valley mining assets in Nicholas and Greenbrier Counties are being sold to Quinwood Coal Company. The New River Energy natural gas operation is being sold to Kinzer Drilling, which includes 120 producing natural gas wells in five counties. Alpha CEO David Stetson said the divestments will reduce holding costs for inactive and idle properties, reducing the company’s footprint. They plan to pursue sales of other non-strategic assets in the coming months.
