The past several years have certainly come with a unique set of challenges for everyone. Our dedicated team at Infinity Natural Resources can proudly say our experience and perseverance have allowed us to overcome those challenges, exceed production goals, and double our team. Our company’s growth and achievements are a testament of success to Infinity’s core values and safety-focused practice.
In 2020, Infinity Natural Resources drilled and completed our first wells, Coastal 2H and 4H, both of which were turned online in January of 2021. By 2022, INR successfully acquired producing assets in Ohio and spud 12 additional wells throughout our assets in Pennsylvania and Ohio. We now operate over 60 wells and are continuing our active development. In December of 2022, we achieved a production milestone of 100 MMCFD and 5,000 BPOD. We anticipate continuing our steady growth and successful operations in 2023 and the years to follow.
We firmly believe natural gas will act as a vital source of clean energy to serve our Nation’s growing demand. We also believe Infinity Natural Resources’ extensive experience in the Appalachian Basin will allow for our continued growth, and providing a continued opportunity for our team members, sponsors, business partners and community, as we continue to provide a clean domestic energy source.
At Infinity Natural Resources we are committed to setting a standard for community involvement. We understand the importance of supporting our neighbors and strive to give back to the people and communities that are vital to INR’s success. We are excited by opportunities to get our hands dirty and are doing our part to make the future a better place. INR’s deep ties to Appalachia influence its belief in cultural sustainability by both creating and preserving traditions within the Basin.
One of our favorite new traditions is our involvement with the Carroll County Junior Fair in Carrollton, Ohio. In 2021, INR was able to submit the winning bid on the Grand Champion Hog. In 2022, we were able to secure the winning bid on the Grand Champion Steer. We look forward to our continued participation and the opportunity to support the future generation’s stewardship and service.

Our team at Infinity Natural Resources is proud to announce that our CEO, Zachary Arnold, has been selected as a 2020 Young Gun by the West Virginia Executive Magazine. And not only that, but was also selected as the cover picture, representing this year’s class on the magazine. From our entire team at Infinity, we congratulate you on this achievement, and appreciate your continued leadership, vision, and drive.
For those who are not familiar, or who have not seen this year’s copy of the WV Executive Young Gun Awards, be sure to click here to read the full article.
In regards to the award, here is how the WV Executive Magazine describes what it takes to be selected for this recognition.
What does it take to become part of West Virginia Executive (WVE) magazine’s elite history of Young Guns? It’s more than just a nomination based on career success and a dedication to community service—though these certainly factor in. It involves a heart of gold mixed with the Mountaineer spirit. WVE recognizes the determination it takes to balance service to one’s community with simultaneous career excellence while also prioritizing family.
Perhaps as synonymous as gold and blue and green and white in the Mountain State is WVE and Young Guns: these two titles have gone hand in hand for more than 20 years. The Young Guns honors program was created to shine a light on those who selflessly serve others and work hard to ensure the Mountain State excels at all levels. These standouts rarely stop to consider themselves, focusing instead on how their work will affect the lives of others. WVE works to give these Young Guns, who personify the very ideals that make West Virginia so special, a moment in the spotlight and the recognition they deserve.
While 2020 certainly had its challenges, our team at Infinity Natural Resources was able to continue to push forward, drilling and completing our first wells, Coastal 2H & 4H. These wells were then turned online January 2021.
As we continue to push into 2021, our team has been working diligently, to plan and permit six additional wells set for near term development. Despite a challenging political climate, Natural Gas remains a bridge fuel for where we stand today, and where we want to be tomorrow, and are excited to develop these additional sites. Natural Gas provides a continued opportunity for our team members, sponsors, business partners and community, as we continue to provide a clean domestic energy source.
