PRUNTYTOWN – Triana Engergy, LLC (Triana) of Charleston, West Virginia was recently accused of wrongful occupation and destruction of property by Paul Nielsen of Grafton.

When he returned for the weekend to his property on Lost Run he found over 11 acres of it cleared of timber and dozer work was being done....
“We did not try to block their drilling…we just wanted fair reimbursement. We just didn’t want them to have the whole 236 acres,” commented Neilson.
“How do they just move in and do this?” questioned Nielsen as he surveyed his ruined property. He contacted a variety of offices and individuals to inquire about how to approach the situation. Neilson found one consistent response, “We have nothing to do with that, you need to contact someone else.”
