-
10-Year Power Supply Deal Signed
A new agreement with CPV will supply 325,000 Dth/d to a 2-GW power plant in West Virginia, with pricing linked to PJM power prices—offering a premium over in-basin rates.
-
5-Year LNG Offtake Secured
A deal with a large Asian integrated energy company covers 0.5 MTPA of LNG from Gulf Coast facilities starting in 2028, expected to add ~$45M to 2028 free cash flow.
Analysis · EQT · Energy & Transportation
A strong second quarter saw EQT surpass production and capex guidance, prompting a ~90 Bcfe boost to its full-year production target alongside a leaner capex budget. The period also delivered two pivotal commercial wins: a 10-year gas supply agreement tied to PJM power prices and a 5-year LNG offtake that is set to contribute roughly $45M to 2028 free cash flow. With the $77M Blackline Midstream acquisition now closed and MVP Southgate on an accelerated timeline, the company is reinforcing its low-cost supplier advantage and capturing rising demand from power generation and LNG exports—even as the stock hovers near its 52-week low against a backdrop of soft natural gas prices.
