In 1884, Michael and Obediah Haymaker struck gas outside of Pittsburgh, PA. [5] Four years later, the Equitable Gas Company was incorporated as a subsidiary of Philadelphia Company.

In 1950, the company separated from the Philadelphia Company and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. [6]

The company changed its corporate name to Equitable Resources, Inc. in 1984. The company offered the first fixed bill energy contract in U.S. in 1995. This is a contract in which the price a customer pays for energy is fixed no matter what the actual cost is during the life of the contract. [7]

Equitable Resources made a number of acquisitions in the late 1990s. In 1997, the company acquired Northeast Energy Services Co. (NORESCO) for $77 million [8] and a number of offshore oil and gas fields from Chevron Corporation for $80.6 million. [9] In 2000, the company acquired Appalachian wells and reserves from Statoil. [10]

The company was added to the S&P 500 Index in 2008, but removed in 2018. [11]

In February 2009, the company changed its name to EQT Corporation. [12] EQT opened one of the first compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations in the Strip District of Pittsburgh in 2011. [13] That same year, David L. Porges was named chief executive officer. [14]

EQT sold its natural gas distribution business in 2013 to Peoples Natural Gas for $740 million. [15] In March 2017, Steven Schlotterbeck became chief executive officer, [16] He resigned in March 2018. [14] and in November the company acquired Rice Energy. [17] EQT spun off its pipeline division, Equitrans Midstream, in 2018. [18]

In July 2019, Toby Rice became chief executive officer of the company. [19] Rice led the company in acquiring Chevron's Appalachian assets in October 2020 for $735 million, [20] Marcellus shale assets in Pennsylvania from Alta Resources Development in May 2021 for $2.9 billion, [21] and the Marcellus shale holdings of THQ Appalachia I LLC in September 2022 for $5.2 billion. The last purchase included XcL Midstream, the owner of 95 miles (153 km) of natural gas pipeline. [22]
