Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Nature of Operations. EQT Corporation is an integrated natural gas production, gathering and transmission company with operations focused in the Appalachian Basin.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to "EQT" refer to EQT Corporation and references to the "Company" refer collectively to EQT Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries in each case unless otherwise noted or indicated.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the results of its operations and equity for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, as discussed further in Note 2, certain prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the Company's change in reportable segments from one reportable segment to three reportable segments consisting of Production, Gathering and Transmission.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Principles of Consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of EQT and all subsidiaries, ventures and partnerships in which EQT directly or indirectly holds a controlling interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Upon the closing of the Equitrans Midstream Merger (defined in Note 12), the Company acquired a controlling 60% interest in Eureka Midstream Holdings, LLC (Eureka Midstream Holdings) and an equity method investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (the MVP Joint Venture).

Eureka Midstream Holdings is a joint venture that owns a gathering header pipeline system that is operated by a subsidiary of EQT. Because the Company is the primary beneficiary of Eureka Midstream Holdings, the Company consolidates Eureka Midstream Holdings and records noncontrolling interest in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 7 for discussion of the revolving credit facility of Eureka Midstream, LLC (Eureka), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eureka Midstream Holdings.

The MVP Joint Venture is a joint venture formed among a subsidiary of EQT and, as applicable, affiliates of each of NextEra Energy, Inc., Consolidated Edison, Inc., AltaGas Ltd. and RGC Resources, Inc. for purposes of constructing and operating the Mountain Valley Pipeline (the MVP) and the MVP Southgate project (MVP Southgate). See Note 8 for further discussion of the MVP Joint Venture, the MVP and MVP Southgate. Because the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the MVP Joint Venture but does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the MVP Joint Venture's economic performance, the Company applies the equity method of accounting to the MVP Joint Venture.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through the requirement of enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses.

This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on its currently-presented financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to improve its income tax disclosure requirements. Under this ASU, public business entities must annually (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.
