EQT

In 2015, EQT, the country’s largest natural gas producer, was facing an enviable problem. With the rapid expansion of its drilling and production sites in the Appalachian Basin, the company needed to substantially increase product volume to keep up with rapidly growing demand in a bullish market. Facing new extraction opportunities in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays, EQT wanted to optimize the company’s midstream business unit, EQT Midstream, whose processing and transmission facilities gather gas from the wells across thousands of miles of pipelines and clean and compress it before shipping it to distribution channels.
