Expansion Outlook
EQT Midstream is focused on building a long-term growth platform to support the development
of EQT Production’s growing reserve base. In 2009, EQT Midstream expects to fill
existing capacity by building smaller gathering lines in Kentucky, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania to tie in wells.
This will facilitate delivery of gas from wells
drilled by EQT Production in 2009 as well as providing additional capacity to help
mitigate curtailments, increasing flexibility and reliability of the company’s gathering
systems in transporting gas to market and provide additional capacity for growth.
EQT Midstream also will make the initial infrastructure expansion in EQT’s Marcellus
Shale holdings in southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. The company
also plans processing upgrades to its Langley Processing plant.
