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.
