About
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.
Oklahoma City largest US pure-play natural gas E&P (NASDAQ: EXE); Chesapeake + Southwestern merger Oct 2024, 7.3+ Bcfe/d production, Haynesville LNG export supply competing with EQT and ConocoPhillips.
About
Expand Energy Corporation is an Oklahoma City, Oklahoma-based natural gas exploration and production company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: EXE) — formed through the October 2024 merger of Chesapeake Energy Corporation and Southwestern Energy Company, creating the largest pure-play natural gas producer in the United States by volume with production exceeding 7.3 billion cubic feet per day equivalent (Bcfe/d) across the Appalachian Basin (Marcellus and Utica shale in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio) and Mid-Continent (Haynesville shale in Louisiana and Texas). Chesapeake Energy rebranded as Expand Energy upon closing the $7.4 billion all-stock acquisition of Southwestern Energy, combining Chesapeake's Haynesville and Marcellus positions with Southwestern's dominant Appalachia and Haynesville footprint to create a company with 6,300 net wells, 1.6 million net acres across core natural gas basins, and estimated proved reserves exceeding 20 trillion cubic feet equivalent (Tcfe). CEO Domenic Dell'Osso leads Expand Energy's strategy of consolidating the US natural gas producer landscape to capture economies of scale in drilling operations, midstream contracting, and LNG export supply agreements — positioning the combined company as a reliable long-term supplier to US liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals that require 20-year take-or-pay supply commitments from creditworthy, large-scale gas producers. The Expand Energy name reflects the company's positioning around expanding US natural gas supply for LNG exports that serve Europe's energy security needs following Russia's reduction of pipeline gas supplies to the continent.
