Quarterly/event snapshot
This page is a historical source-record snapshot tied to a specific company update or activity event. It links back into durable operator and state workflows.
Key Takeaways
- The reviewed WV Antero row shows 843.7B mcf of trailing-12-month gas, 1,641 producing wells, and 91 trailing-12-month permits.
- West Virginia production is loaded through December 2025 in this pull; Ohio source rows are loaded through July 2025.
- HG remains a separate source-label review item instead of being forced into one public Antero total.
EnergyNetWatch reviewed Antero-linked West Virginia and Ohio source records on June 13, 2026.
Operator Signal
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Signal grade | Active watchlist |
| Primary source label | ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION |
| Main source-record state | West Virginia |
| Gas scale in reviewed WV row | 843.7B mcf in the trailing 12M window |
| Producing wells in reviewed WV row | 1,641 |
| Permit signal | 91 trailing-12M permits in West Virginia; latest reviewed permit April 15, 2026 |
| Source clock | West Virginia production through December 2025; Ohio production through July 2025 |
| First follow-up | West Virginia Antero county table, then HG acquired-label review |
Antero's company report explains the larger Appalachian gas story. The EnergyNetWatch brief answers a narrower question: which public source labels show current evidence, what source month supports the view, and where follow-up should start.
At A Glance
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Company-reported Q1 production | 3.852 Bcfe/d |
| Company-reported natural gas | 2.617 Bcf/d |
| Company-reported liquids | 206 MBbl/d |
| Company-reported Q2 production guide | 4.1 Bcfe/d |

What Changed Recently
| Signal | Current signal |
|---|---|
| Company update | Antero reported record Q1 production, closed the HG acquisition in February, and sold Ohio Utica Shale assets later that month. |
| Production clock | The reviewed WV Antero row is loaded through December 2025; reviewed Ohio rows are loaded through July 2025. |
| Permit clock | The reviewed WV Antero row includes 91 trailing-12M permits with latest permit date April 15, 2026. |
| Acquired label | HG ENERGY II APPALACHIA, LLC remains a separate reviewed WV row until label handling is confirmed. |
| Geography signal | West Virginia carries the cleanest current gas source-record view; Ohio remains transition-sensitive after the divestiture. |
The main signal is West Virginia gas scale with a visible permit clock. Ohio is still useful source context, but it should not be written as the main current-growth story after the February 2026 Utica divestiture.
Source-Record Snapshot
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
WV ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION latest month | December 2025 |
WV ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION oil | 2.4M bbl, trailing 12M |
WV ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION gas | 843.7B mcf, trailing 12M |
WV ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION wells | 1,641 producing wells |
WV ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION permits | 91 trailing-12M permits |
OH ANTERO RESOURCES CORPORATION latest month | July 2025 |
| OH Antero source-label context | Smaller retained rows; use with divestiture caveat |
WV HG ENERGY II APPALACHIA, LLC context | 8.1B mcf gas, 10 producing wells, kept separate |
These rows are source-label evidence. They are not one forced Antero company total.
County Follow-Up
| Field | Current signal |
|---|---|
| West Virginia counties to review | Tyler, Doddridge, Wetzel, Ritchie |
| Ohio counties to review | Noble, Monroe |
| Best first screen | WV Antero production and permit table |
| Second screen | HG source-label rows after the acquisition |
| Caveat | Ohio records may remain visible through historical or transition periods after the Utica sale |
Follow-up should start at the county and source-label level. "Appalachia" is too broad for account work by itself.
Infrastructure And Midstream Signals
| Layer | Public page treatment | App follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Gas gathering and facility context | Not expanded in this public Antero snapshot. | Review operator-linked facility, gathering, and midstream rows only where source records support the connection. |
| Why limited here | The public page focuses on production timing, permit clock, county follow-up, and label review. It is not a free infrastructure lead table. | Request the current Antero/HG source-label package with counties, source dates, maps, exports, alerts, and API fields. |
What To Watch Next
| Watch item | Current signal |
|---|---|
| WV Antero source month | Does the December 2025 production clock advance on the next source refresh? |
| WV permit movement | Do permits continue after the April 15, 2026 latest reviewed permit? |
| HG label handling | Which HG rows should be grouped, watched separately, or excluded from public totals? |
| Ohio transition rows | Are records historical/divested context or still useful for follow-up? |
| County concentration | Which WV counties carry the strongest permit and production evidence? |

Frequently Asked Questions
What were Antero's Q1 2026 production highlights?
Antero reported 3.852 Bcfe/d of average net production in Q1 2026, including 2.617 Bcf/d of natural gas and 206 MBbl/d of liquids.
Why does the HG acquisition matter for Antero records?
Antero closed the HG acquisition in early February 2026. EnergyNetWatch keeps HG-linked source labels separate until the acquired-label handling is reviewed in state records.
Where does EnergyNetWatch show Antero-linked records?
This public snapshot shows Antero-linked rows in West Virginia and Ohio. West Virginia is the main gas-weighted row in this brief.
Is this the same as Antero's company-reported production?
No. Antero's reported production is a company-level quarterly measure. EnergyNetWatch signals state-source records by operator label, state, source month, permits, wells, counties, and production history.
