Natural gas E&P operator scaling infrastructure and IT modernization across Appalachian assets
Seneca Resources explores and produces natural gas across the Marcellus and Utica Shales as the upstream subsidiary of National Fuel Gas. The tech stack reveals a mature industrial-ops posture (Splunk, Qualys, SolarWinds, ServiceNow, DB2/SQL Server, CICS mainframes), and hiring velocity is accelerating with 186 roles posted in the last 30 days—heavily weighted toward engineering (150 headcount) and operations (45). Active projects center on IT modernization, data center infrastructure, system upgrades, and a platform migration, while cited pain points (system reliability, high-availability scaling, complex IT environment) suggest the company is mid-transformation between legacy mainframe/on-prem systems and cloud-native architecture.
