Charleston, West Virginia-based Triana Energy Investments LLC is a gas exploration and production company focusing on the Appalacian Basin and the Marcellus shale formation.

In June, 2009 Triana formed a strategic partnership with Morgan Stanley Private Equity who is its majority owner.

Morgan Stanley Private Equity is a component of the global financial services firm by the same name. It has a history of working with several of Triana's executives in an earlier rendition of Triana Energy which owned and operated Columbia Gas after purchasing it from NiSource in 2001. After operating Columbia from 2001-2005, Triana sold the company to Chesapeake Energy in November, 2005 for $3.2 billion.

• Henry Harmon is Triana's Chairman and CEO, and was a key figure in the sale of Columbia Gas to Chesapeake after more than two decades with the former company.
• Richard Beardsley is the Triana's Chief Geoscientist and a legendary oil and gas figure in the Appalachian Basin. He was with Columbia Gas for many years prior to its acquisition by Triana. He is generally credited with much of the impetus behind the successful exploration of the Trenton-Black River formation in the Finger Lakes district of New York.
