2. Cautionary Statements
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that a company anticipates as of a given date to be economically and legally producible and deliverable by application of development projects to known accumulations. We use certain terms on this website, such as “EUR” (estimated ultimate recovery) and total resource potential, that the SEC’s rules strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. These measures are by their nature more speculative than estimates of reserves prepared in accordance with SEC definitions and guidelines and accordingly are less certain. We also note that the SEC strictly prohibits us from aggregating proved, probable and possible (“3P”) reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category.
This Website contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained on this Website specifically include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance of EQT and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), including guidance regarding EQT's strategy to develop its reserves; drilling plans and programs (including the number and type of drilling rigs and the number of frac crews to be utilized by the Company, the projected amount of wells to be turned-in-line and the timing thereof); projected natural gas prices, basis and average differential; the impact of commodity prices on the Company's business; total resource potential; projected production and sales volumes, including liquified natural gas (“LNG”) volumes and sales; projected production curtailments, including the volume and duration thereof; projected well costs and unit costs; the Company's ability to successfully implement and execute its operational, organizational, technological and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives, including the Company's emissions goals, the timing thereof and the Company's ability to achieve the anticipated results of such initiatives; potential acquisitions, asset sales or other strategic transactions, the timing thereof and the Company's ability to achieve the intended operational, financial and strategic benefits from any such transactions or from any recently completed strategic transactions; the amount and timing of any redemptions, repayments or repurchases of EQT's common stock, the Company's outstanding debt securities or other debt instruments; the Company's ability to reduce its debt and the timing of such reductions, if any; projected dividends, if any; projected free cash flow; liquidity and financing requirements, including funding sources and availability; the Company's ability to maintain or improve its credit ratings, leverage levels and financial profile, and the timing of achieving such improvements, if at all; the Company's hedging strategy and projected margin posting obligations; the Company's tax position and projected effective tax rate; and the expected impact of changes in laws.
The forward-looking statements included on this Website involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events, taking into account all information currently known by the Company. While the Company considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond the Company's control. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, volatility of commodity prices; the costs and results of drilling and operations; uncertainties about estimates of reserves, identification of drilling locations and the ability to add proved reserves in the future; the assumptions underlying production forecasts; the quality of technical data; the Company's ability to appropriately allocate capital and other resources among its strategic opportunities; access to and cost of capital; the Company's hedging and other financial contracts; inherent hazards and risks normally incidental to drilling for, producing, transporting and storing natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and oil; operational risks and hazards incidental to the gathering and transmission and storage of natural gas as well as unforeseen interruptions; cybersecurity risks and acts of sabotage; availability and cost of drilling rigs, completion services, equipment, supplies, personnel, oilfield services and sand and water required to execute the Company's exploration and development plans, including as a result of supply chain and inflationary pressures; risks associated with operating primarily in the Appalachian Basin; the ability to obtain environmental and other permits and the timing thereof; construction, business, economic, competitive, regulatory, judicial, environmental, political and legal uncertainties related to the development and construction by the Company or its joint ventures of pipeline and storage facilities and transmission assets and the optimization of such assets; the Company's ability to renew or replace expiring gathering, transmission or storage contracts at favorable rates, on a long-term basis or at all; risks relating to the Company's joint venture arrangements; government regulation or action, including regulations pertaining to methane and other greenhouse gas emissions; negative public perception of the fossil fuels industry; increased consumer demand for alternatives to natural gas; environmental and weather risks, including the possible impacts of climate change; and disruptions to the Company's business due to acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic transactions. These and other risks are described under the "Risk Factors" section in EQT's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the, the "Risk Factors" section included in EQT's subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other documents EQT files from time to time with the SEC.
EQT’s claim of achieving “net zero” in October 2024 is based on (i) 2023 Scope 1 greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, as reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) under the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (“Subpart W”) for the onshore petroleum and natural gas production segment and the gathering and boosting segment, plus (ii) 2023 Scope 2 GHG emissions using the location-based method and the EPA’s Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database’s state emission factors for EQT’s operating areas, minus (iii) carbon offsets generated by EQT during calendar year 2024. Carbon offsets generated by EQT during 2024 consisted of nature-based carbon offsets generated in the Appalachian region from conservation management projects such as the removal of invasive species, wildfire risk monitoring, and native tree and shrub placement. Such projects were validated by West Virginia University utilizing Conservation Practice Standards outlined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resource Conservation Service and certain Verra guidelines.
EQT’s net zero claim does not include Scope 3 GHG emissions or emissions from Equitrans Midstream Corporation and its related assets, which were acquired by EQT on July 22, 2024. EQT’s GHG emissions, carbon offsets and net zero claims have not been verified by an independent third-party.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, the Company does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
