## Summary

Pittsburgh largest US natural gas producer (NYSE: EQT) at 2,100+ Bcfe annual volume; Marcellus Shale + Mountain Valley Pipeline completed, Equitrans Midstream acquired $5.5B for vertical integration, LNG export tailwind.

## Company Overview

EQT Corporation is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based natural gas exploration and production company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: EQT) as an S&P 500 Energy component — operating as the largest natural gas producer in the United States with operations concentrated in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations in Appalachia (Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio), producing approximately 2,100-2,200 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) annually through approximately 1,900 employees. In Q4 2024, EQT reported sales volume of 605 Bcfe with capital expenditures of $583 million (7% below guidance), and full year 2024 adjusted EPS of $7.29 (+9% versus 2023). For 2025, EQT guided total sales volume of 2,175-2,275 Bcfe with maintenance capital expenditures of $1,950-$2,120 million. A transformative 2024 strategic development was EQT's completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) — a 303-mile natural gas pipeline connecting EQT's West Virginia Appalachian production to growing Southeast US gas demand markets — which, combined with EQT's acquisition of Equitrans Midstream (the gathering, compression, and transmission pipeline operator serving EQT's Appalachian production) for approximately $5.5 billion, created a vertically integrated natural gas company controlling both the wellhead production and the pipeline infrastructure delivering that production to market. CEO Toby Rice has positioned EQT as the low-cost Appalachian natural gas producer whose scale advantage (largest US gas producer) drives unit cost and marketing advantages in a commodity business.

EQT's Appalachian natural gas E&P model creates competitive advantage through scale economics and vertical integration in the lowest-cost major US gas basin: the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and West Virginia is the world's second-largest natural gas field (after the Saudi Ghawar oil field by energy equivalent), producing dry gas at well breakeven costs below $1.50/MMBtu in core counties — competitive with liquids-rich Permian Basin natural gas production (where associated gas is produced with oil and has lower explicit cost allocation) and well below the Haynesville Shale in Louisiana or the DJ Basin. EQT's 1 million+ net acres of Marcellus inventory (decades of drilling locations at current development pace) provides a runway of low-breakeven wells that EQT can develop when natural gas prices justify capital deployment. The Equitrans Midstream acquisition eliminates the gathering and transportation margin that was previously paid to Equitrans (as a separate public company), improving EQT's netback price per Mcf and creating synergies through integrated production scheduling and capital program coordination.

In 2025, EQT Corporation competes in Appalachian natural gas production and marketing against Coterra Energy (NYSE: CTRA, Marcellus gas production in addition to Permian oil), Range Resources (NYSE: RRC, Appalachian natural gas and NGLs), and CNX Resources (NYSE: CNX, Appalachian natural gas and coal bed methane) for natural gas marketing contracts at major pipelines and LNG export terminals. The US LNG export capacity expansion (Sabine Pass, Sabine Pass Train 7, Plaquemines LNG, Golden Pass LNG) from 14 bcf/day to 25+ bcf/day by 2028 is expected to tighten domestic natural gas supply and support Henry Hub prices above the sub-$2/MMBtu lows of 2024 — a structural tailwind for EQT's Appalachian production economics. The Mountain Valley Pipeline's completion provides EQT with direct access to the growing Southeast US gas demand market (industrial load, power generation) and connectivity to Gulf Coast LNG export terminals. The 2025 strategy focuses on maintenance capital efficiency to hold production volumes near guidance, LNG supply agreement monetization as export capacity expands, and Equitrans integration synergy realization through the combined midstream and upstream operations.
