GUY RESCHENTHALER of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Tuesday, July 14, 2026 Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Diversified Energy. Diversified Energy was founded by its current Chief Executive Officer, Rusty Hutson in 2001. Under Rusty's continued leadership, Diversified Energy has become an industry name in the management and production of low-decline natural gas and oil assets. Diversified Energy's success can be attributed to its foundational business model of long-term growth. Its focus on low decline production has led to the extension of well life, reduced the need for new surface disruption, and maximized the value of their existing assets. Additionally, Diversified Energy has distinguished itself in its reduction of methane emission. By implementing continuous monitoring, advanced leak detection, and proactive well retirement programs, the company has lowered its methane intensity across all operations. Diversified Energy's strategy and implementation of these standards demonstrate a discipled plan that prioritizes excellence and environmental care. Above all else, safety will always remain the top priority of Diversified Energy. They have established a strong culture of safety through routine training, accountability, and continuous improvement. Through the implementation of rigorous operational standards, Diversified Energy ensures that its employees, contractors, and surrounding communities remain safe and protected. Mr. Speaker, Diversified Energy's success can be attributed to its core values of safety, [[Page E682]] long-term planning, and effort to reduce environmental impact. I commend Rusty for his success, and I celebrate their accomplishment of 25 years of service. I look forward to their continued efforts to strengthen American energy. ____________________
