Business
Share of revenueSales of produced natural gas, NGLs and oil, including derivative gains tied to production.
Pipeline and related gathering revenues from moving gas from wells into the system.
Firm reservation and volumetric fees from transporting and storing natural gas.
Customers
EQT sells primarily to marketers, utilities and industrial customers, with additional exposure to local distribution companies and other producers through its transmission and storage business. A meaningful share of volumes reaches markets outside Appalachia, so customer demand is tied to regional gas pricing, takeaway capacity and end-market access rather than just local basin demand.
Buy natural gas and NGLs for resale and market access; important for clearing EQT's production volumes.
Buy gas for utility supply and seasonal balancing, supporting stable demand in core and export-linked markets.
Buy gas for fuel and feedstock use, especially in the Gulf Coast, Midwest and Northeast corridors.
Contract for transmission and storage capacity to serve retail gas demand and reliability needs.
Use transmission and storage services to move and balance gas across EQT's network.
Strategy
EQT is focused on using its large Appalachian resource base and expanded midstream network to move more gas into higher-demand markets. The company is also emphasizing long-term firm transportation and processing capacity, commodity hedging and disciplined capital allocation to support cash flow stability.
Moves Appalachian production into higher-demand markets and reduces basis constraints.
Commodity price volatility can materially affect revenue, margins and liquidity.
Gathering and transmission revenues diversify the business beyond commodity sales.
Geography
EQT's assets and operations are substantially concentrated in the Appalachian Basin, which anchors its production, gathering and processing footprint. Roughly 49% of sales volume reaches markets outside Appalachia, including the Gulf Coast, Midwest, East Coast corridor and Northeast U.S. and Canada, making takeaway capacity and regional demand growth central to the business.
Risks
EQT is exposed to commodity price swings, basis differentials and operational risks tied to drilling, gathering and pipeline infrastructure. Its concentration in the Appalachian Basin and reliance on permitting, construction and third-party approvals also create execution and regulatory risk, while derivatives can reduce upside and add counterparty exposure.
