EQT has launched a non-binding open season for a 1 Bcf/d pipeline designed to connect Appalachian natural gas supply with growing demand in the Midwest, Southeast and Gulf Coast markets.

The proposed line would run from Pennsylvania to Ohio, according to the company. EQT said the project is being advanced in response to market interest, and it is targeting service in 2030.

At a Glance

• Would run from Pennsylvania to Ohio
• Comes in response to market interest
• Service targeted for 2030

The move comes as infrastructure developers continue to evaluate new takeaway and market-access projects tied to rising demand from power generation and other large-volume consumers. In that context, EQT’s proposal adds to a broader wave of efforts aimed at moving Appalachian gas beyond the basin and into regions where pipeline access can be a constraint on supply delivery. The open season is an early step in gauging shipper interest before a project advances further.

The company did not provide additional project details in the source material beyond the open season announcement and the targeted in-service date.
