Our mission is to deliver affordable, reliable, cleaner energy to the world.

As one of the largest natural gas producers in the United States, we are committed to evolving energy and strengthening the critical role that natural gas plays in the future energy mix, both domestically and abroad.

We aim to maximize the value derived from our assets while we minimize the environmental impact of our operations through technological innovation. We strive to improve the way we perform, maintain a rewarding and collaborative workplace, and actively engage with landowners and the communities where we operate and where our employees live and work. Furthermore, we aim to push the boundaries of operational performance and leverage innovative technology and human capital to execute our combo-development strategy — leading to a step-change in operational efficiency.

In 2024, we produced over 2,100 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Bcfe) in gross hydrocarbon production.[1] As of December 31, 2024, we maintained 26.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent of proved natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and crude oil reserves across approximately 2.1 million gross acres and nearly 3,000 miles of pipeline infrastructure. We also operate and hold an investment in the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), a more than 300-mile-long pipeline that runs from West Viriginia to Virginia. Approximately 99% of our gross production is natural gas and NGLs. With 1,461 employees as of December 31, 2024, we generated approximately $5.3 billion in total operating revenues in 2024.

We have historically pursued and will continue to explore opportunities to create value through strategic transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures, or similar business transactions.

In 2021, we acquired assets located in the Appalachian Basin (the Alta Assets) from Alta Resources Development, LLC (Alta). Data from the Alta Assets is included in this report; however, we disclose production and sales volumes and emissions data related to the Alta Assets separately from our 2021–2024 data to track our progress against our 2025 emissions targets.

Additionally, in August 2023, we acquired THQ Appalachia I Midco, LLC (Tug Hill) and THQ-XcL Holdings I Midco, LLC (XcL Midstream). XcL Midstream’s gathering and processing assets (the XcL Assets) added 145 miles of owned and operated midstream gathering systems to our operations, which connect to every major long-haul interstate pipeline in southwest Appalachia. Data from the XcL assets, along with Tug Hill’s production assets (the Tug-XcL Assets) is included in this report; however, we disclose 2023 and 2024 production and sales volumes and emissions data related to these assets separately from our historical data.

More recently, in July 2024, we acquired Equitrans Midstream Corporation (Equitrans), creating America’s only large-scale, vertically integrated natural gas business. Equitrans’ gathering and transmission assets (the Equitrans Assets) provided more than 2,000 miles of pipeline infrastructure with extensive overlap and connectivity in our core area of operations. Unless otherwise specified, 2024 data from the Equitrans Assets is included in this report from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2024. We disclose greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data related to the Equitrans Assets in a separate supplement to this report, titled Equitrans 2024 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Supplemental Report, which is available as an appendix. Both the GHG emission in the appendix and the air quality emissions in this report include the full year 2024 data for the Equitrans Assets.

Unless otherwise noted, all references to “EQT,” “we,” “our,” or “us” in this report refer collectively to EQT Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data presented in this report (and for the Equitrans 2024 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Supplemental Report) is based on the operational control approach, which means that metrics are based on all assets that EQT operated during January 1 through December 31, 2024, unless otherwise specified.

Our operations are predominately focused in Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA), Ohio (OH), Southwestern Pennsylvania (SWPA), and West Virgina (WV). See the illustration below for a map[2], [3] of our primary production and infrastructure locations.

Map titled "Pure-Play Appalachian Producer," representing EQT's operating area in PA, WV, and northeast OH, estimated core net acres, and estimated billion cubic feet of natural gas produced per day (Bcfe/d). In total, EQT operates across roughly 1.1 million net acres and produces 6.1 Bcfe/d.The natural gas supply chain, from discovery to market delivery, is a complex series of interconnected activities. For end users to receive natural gas or natural gas-derived products, we must first find and produce the resource. Our investments span the discovery and production phase of the value chain — including drilling, completion, pumping, gas field services, casings for drilling, and information technology (IT) products. Additionally, our 2024 acquisition of the Equitrans Assets significantly expanded our midstream operations.

We produce, gather, and transport natural gas and, to a lesser extent, NGLs sold as a commodity to marketers, utilities, and industrial customers in the Appalachian Basin and in other demand regions accessible through our current transportation portfolio. Our transportation network includes access to key markets in the Gulf Coast, Midwest, and Northeast United States, and in Canada. As of December 31, 2024, 68.5% of our sales volume was sold outside Appalachia. We also contract with certain processors to market a portion of our NGLs on our behalf.

Our value chain is illustrated below.

EQT Value Chain

 

Oil and Gas Acquisition of the Year in North America

EQT has been recognized by IJInvestor as the winner of the Oil & Gas Acquisition of the Year in North America for our landmark acquisition of Equitrans Midstream Corporation. The independent judging panel described the deal as “a fundamental game changer,” highlighting how the transformative transaction establishes EQT as the only large-scale, vertically integrated natural gas company in the United States.

We successfully closed the transaction ahead of schedule on July 22, 2024, navigating complex regulatory requirements, including approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

President and Chief Executive Officer Toby Z. Rice commented, “We are excited to complete this highly strategic transaction significantly ahead of our original timeline and welcome both Equitrans employees and shareholders to EQT. The early close resulted in nearly $150 million of savings relative to our original forecast and brings forward our de-leveraging and synergy capture timetables.”

Our integration team — proved through years of experience with large-scale integration — is now focused on efficiently combining these organizations. EQT’s culture is rooted in operational efficiency, technology, and sustainability. This acquisition strengthens our ability to deliver environmentally responsible, reliable, and low-cost energy, while reinforcing our longstanding commitment to the safety of our employees, contractors, and communities.

Uniting under one cohesive culture, we are poised to build on our legacy and drive long-term success.

Our DWE is so effective in driving open communication and collaboration that we have been able to successfully transition approximately 57% of our employee workforce to remote work arrangements. For more information about how our remote work arrangements benefit employees and EQT, see Talent Attraction and Retention.

Driving Data-Driven Decision Making

Our commitment to robust, integrated data systems lays the groundwork for the ongoing evolution of our business processes. By capturing data accurately and in real time across all departments, we not only support immediate operational needs, but also prepare for long-term strategic growth. This data-centric approach ensures that every decision is informed by comprehensive insights that reinforce our commitment to excellence in ESG performance and broader business innovation.

Our Program Initiative

To further enhance our operations, EQT launched a new “Program Initiative” in 2024. Programs represent department-level strategies directed at managing and evolving the business, with Program owners empowered to drive execution through clearly defined Program milestones. Each Program is structured around key resources, including:

  • Qrew Metrics: Tools for tracking performance.
  • Utilities: The essential building blocks of our business processes.
  • Enterprise Applications: The technological infrastructure that underpins our operations.
  • EQT Roles: The collaborative manpower driving our success.
  • Sessions: Facilitated engagements to enhance teamwork and idea sharing.

Each department’s Program is available for all employees to view within our DWE, and includes a vision deck, lists goals for the year, and identifies the Program owner and each member of the department who is responsible for executing on different aspects to achieve the stated department goals. Employees can visualize, track, and monitor their individual and department-wide progress of their Programs using a digital dashboard in our DWE, shown below. The dashboard ensures that EQT’s strategic initiatives remain transparent, measurable, and agile. The dashboard also showcases the interconnectivity of our core operations.

Our World Insight Dashboard

Technological Innovation

Our use of technology in our DWE is central to fostering cross-department collaboration, ensuring clean, consistent data capture to power future artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, and enabling the evolution of our business processes. We believe innovation can arise from any level of our organization, so we maintain open channels for submitting ideas that improve our operational efficiency, company culture, employee engagement, and ESG performance.

We continue to drive innovation through our streamlined Innovation Pipeline, a function within our DWE which provides a single channel employees can use to submit ideas for new technology applications or process improvements. In 2024, our Innovation Pipeline delivered many new applications, including 105 new utilities, which will serve as the building blocks for future business processes that enable users to interact effectively with data.

We also develop meaningful ideas and effective solutions to enhance our innovation process through:

  • The Information Technology Prime function of our Innovation Pipeline, which allows us to identify well-planned ideas that satisfy general guidelines and accelerate implementation within 2 weeks of approval.
  • Special Project Cases, which is the process used for submitting and reviewing ideas that specifically address emerging technological challenges and opportunities in alignment with our strategic objectives. Employees’ proposals are reviewed by our IT team and are prioritized using direct input from business leaders.

Our Innovation Pipeline has enhanced our innovation process and has given our business the tools to develop meaningful ideas and allow us to deliver quick and effective solutions.


[1] Includes gross production from EQT, the Alta Assets, and the Tug-XcL Assets. “Gross Production” means the wellhead production of natural gas and oil/condensate produced from all wells operated by EQT, including 100% of volumes from EQT-operated wells subject to a third-party working interest. NGLs are derived from the processing of natural gas and are not directly produced from the wellhead. Therefore, gross production of NGLs is effectively included in the volume of natural gas produced.

[2] Map shows EQT’s core operating area, based on EQT’s production data and acreage position as of December 31, 2024.

[3] Throughout this report, we use the following denominations to measure and disclose volumes of natural gas, oil/condensate, and NGLs: MM = million; Bcfe = billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent, with one barrel of NGLs and/or crude oil being equivalent to 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas; Bcfe/d = billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day; MMcf = million cubic feet; Mbbl = thousand barrels of oil/NGLs; MBOE = thousand barrels of oil equivalent. A conversion rate of 6 MMcf to 1 MBOE is used to convert MMcf to MBOE.

[4] “Gross Production” means the wellhead production of natural gas and oil/condensate produced from all wells operated by EQT, including 100% of volumes from EQT-operated wells subject to a third-party working interest. NGLs are derived from the processing of natural gas and are not directly produced from the wellhead. Therefore, gross production of NGLs is effectively included in the volume of natural gas produced.

Responsibly Sourced Gas (Differentiated Gas)

We have a long-standing commitment to operate responsibly and produce our natural gas in accordance with high ESG standards. Certification programs that recognize the ESG attributes of produced gas, such as methane emissions intensity, allow producers like EQT to differentiate our gas from others in the market. One such product, often referred to as “independently certified gas,” “responsibly sourced gas,” or “differentiated natural gas,” involves certification from an independent third party. The third party affirms that the gas is sourced through responsible procurement practices and meets or exceeds certain graded standards, such as low methane and other GHG emissions, water resource impacts, land use, and other categories.

Beginning in November 2021, we obtained certification for a significant portion of our natural gas production under Equitable Origin’s EO100™ Standard for Responsible Energy Development, which focuses on ESG performance, as well as the MiQ Standard. The MiQ Standard is a framework to assess the methane and carbon emissions intensity from the natural gas supply chain. Responsible Energy Solutions, an approved independent assessment organization for both the EO100™ and MiQ standards, assessed our performance against those standards at approximately 200 well pads in Greene and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania. From a production standpoint, a significant portion of the natural gas we produce is derived from wells located in these two counties, which collectively produced approximately 3.5 Bcf per day in 2024. For more information about our impact on local communities, see Economic and Societal Impact.

Equitable Origin certified our produced natural gas against the following five principles of the EO100™ Standard:

  • Corporate governance, transparency, and ethics;
  • Human rights, social impacts, and community development;
  • Indigenous Peoples’ rights;[1]
  • Fair labor and working conditions; and
  • Climate change, biodiversity, and environment.

On November 30, 2024, we received our re-certification from Equitable Origin, where we maintained our strong “A-” score under the EO100™ Standard.[2] This certification of our natural gas produced in Greene and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania expires on November 29, 2027 and must be re-verified annually. From a community perspective, our certified operating area composes a substantial component of our operations. For example, in 2024, we paid $15,797,144 in taxes in Greene County, Pennsylvania and $7,451,555 in taxes in Washington County, Pennsylvania,[3] among other charitable donations to local fire departments, first responders, and community development organizations.

From an environmental perspective, as part of our MiQ recertification, MiQ calculated the methane intensity for our operations covered under the certification program as 0.022% for the 2024 certification period. For purposes of our MiQ certification, methane intensity was calculated in accordance with the Natural Gas Sustainability Initiative Protocol and factors total methane emissions, total gross gas production, natural gas composition, and natural gas heating values. Based on our methane intensity of 0.022%, we obtained an “A” rating for the methane intensity component of our MiQ certification, which is granted to producers with a methane intensity under 0.05%, and an overall rating of “A” for our MiQ recertification for 2024. We are continuing to build on this success through a collaboration with MiQ to supply certified natural gas to a European energy company. This pilot program underscores the importance of transparency in emissions reporting for EQT and the industry at large.

In addition to certifying our natural gas, we work to comply with the principles of international agreements to which the United States is a signatory, and we are an active participant in voluntary programs that aim to monitor and reduce methane emissions on a global scale. Since 2021, we have been a member of the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 — a Climate and Clean Air Coalition initiative led by the United Nations Environment Programme in partnership with the European Commission, the United Kingdom Government, the Environmental Defense Fund, and other leading oil and natural gas companies. In 2024, for the third year in a row, we received an OGMP 2.0 “Gold Standard” rating — the highest reporting level under the initiative — in recognition of our ambitious methane emissions reduction targets and advanced commitment to accurately measure, report, and reduce our company-specific and site-level methane emissions. We believe that our certifications from Equitable Origin and MiQ coupled with our participation in initiatives like OGMP 2.0 will enable us to further differentiate ourselves as a leader in sustainable development and emissions reduction.

We expect a global differentiated gas market to evolve toward a carbon intensity data exchange where all commercial transactions include measurement-informed GHG emissions data. Including third-party certified environmental attributes from the entire natural gas distribution lifecycle will allow energy buyers to make decisions based on a fuel's empirically informed GHG emissions impact. Recognizing that many of our customers are increasingly obligated to cap their emissions and/or purchase GHG emissions allowances, integrating measurement-informed differentiated natural gas with performance certificates presents an opportunity for buyers to reduce their emissions impact. Further, in connection with our partnership with Context Labs, we are building a digital framework that will allow us to demonstrate the environmental attributes of our produced gas for any emissions control or similar framework within the differentiated gas marketplace. We believe that mandatory emissions control programs worldwide will increasingly recognize both fugitive methane emissions and full-fuel lifecycle emissions. These trends are anticipated to benefit EQT given our relative emissions performance compared to industry metrics, as well as our robust portfolio of differentiated gas products.

[1] Indigenous Peoples' rights were determined to not be applicable to our covered operations by Equitable Origin under the EO100™ Standard.

[3] Greene County and Washington County tax amounts include a Pennsylvania Impact fee, which is paid to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and then distributed by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to the respective county. The amount of the Pennsylvania Impact fee is directly related to the location of the wells to which the fee applies.
