Earnings Report: Impressive Production Output by EQT
EQT, a leading natural gas producer, has raised its full-year sales volume outlook for 2025 following the acquisition of Olympus Energy's assets. The new outlook ranges between 2,300 and 2,400 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe), an increase of 100 Bcfe from its earlier projection [3][4].
The Olympus Energy acquisition, completed on July 1, 2025, added 90,000 net acres and significantly boosted production and EBITDA, contributing to the higher production guidance [2]. Q2 2025 production volumes were 568 Bcfe, up from 508 Bcfe a year ago, supporting the upward revision in the full-year forecast [5].
Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to be between $2.3 billion and $2.45 billion [3][4]. However, EQT's capital spending for Q2 2025 was $554 million, 15% below the midpoint of the company's guidance [6].
EQT's enhanced operational capacity and strategic growth following the Olympus deal position it for continued strong production growth in 2025. The company is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the rising demand for electricity for data centers, especially in light of the AI boom [1].
In a strategic move, EQT recently signed a deal to be the exclusive provider of midstream infrastructure for a large-scale natural gas power plant in West Virginia. This move underscores EQT's commitment to capitalize on the growing demand for natural gas in power generation.
The average realized price per Mcfe for Q2 2025 was $2.81, a 21% increase from the previous quarter [7]. The new per-unit operating costs outlook is a range of $1.03 to $1.17 per Mcfe, reflecting EQT's focus on operational efficiency [8].
Production-adjusted revenue for Q2 2025 was $1.6 billion, a 36% increase from the previous quarter [8]. Despite the lower-than-expected capital spending in Q2 2025, EQT's capital spending associated with the Olympus acquisition will offset these efficiency gains.
