Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies Organization On November 12, 2018, Equitrans Midstream Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries as applicable, the Company or Equitrans Midstream), EQT and, for certain limited purposes, EQT Production Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of EQT, entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the Separation and Distribution Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things, EQT effected the separation of its midstream business, which was composed of the assets and liabilities of the separately-operated natural gas gathering, transmission and storage and water services operations of EQT (the Midstream Business), from EQT's upstream business, which was composed of the natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids development, production and sales and commercial operations of EQT (the Separation), and distributed 80.1% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock, no par value, of Equitrans Midstream (Equitrans Midstream common stock) to EQT shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 1, 2018 (the Distribution). The Distribution was effective at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 12, 2018. As part of the Separation, EQT retained the remaining 19.9% of the then-outstanding shares in Equitrans Midstream (the Retained Interest). Immediately following the Separation, the Company held investments in the entities then-conducting the Midstream Business, including limited and general partner interests in EQGP Holdings, LP (formerly known as EQT GP Holdings, LP) (EQGP), which, as of the date of Separation, owned limited partner interests, the entire general partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights (IDRs) in EQM Midstream Partners, LP (formerly known as EQT Midstream Partners, LP) (EQM). As of the Separation, the common units representing limited partner interests in EQGP (EQGP common units) (other than those owned by the public) were owned by Equitrans Gathering Holdings, LLC (formerly known as EQT Gathering Holdings, LLC) (Equitrans Gathering Holdings), EQM GP Corporation (EQM GP Corp) and Equitrans Midstream Holdings, LLC (EMH). Following the closing of the EQGP Buyout (as defined and discussed in Note 2), EQGP became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on January 10, 2019. The Company owns, operates, acquires and develops midstream assets in the Appalachian Basin. As of December 31, 2020, EQGP Services, LLC was EQM's general partner (the EQM General Partner) and was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Equitrans Midstream. Equitrans Midstream's assets, liabilities and results of operations also include the legacy assets of Rice Midstream Holdings LLC (Rice Midstream Holdings). EQT obtained control of Rice Midstream Holdings on November 13, 2017 (the Rice Merger Date) when, pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated June 19, 2017 by and among EQT, Rice Energy Inc. (Rice Energy) and a wholly owned subsidiary of EQT, Rice Energy became a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of EQT, and EQT became the indirect parent of Rice Midstream Holdings (the Rice Merger). The operations of Rice Midstream Holdings were primarily conducted through Rice Midstream Partners LP (now known as RM Partners LP) (RMP), Rice West Virginia Midstream LLC (now known as EQM West Virginia Midstream LLC) (EQM West Virginia), Rice Olympus Midstream LLC (now known as EQM Olympus Midstream LLC) (EQM Olympus) and Strike Force Midstream Holdings LLC (Strike Force Holdings). At the Rice Merger Date, Strike Force Holdings owned 75% of the outstanding limited liability company interests in Strike Force Midstream LLC (Strike Force Midstream). Rice Midstream Holdings, through its wholly owned, indirect subsidiary Rice Midstream GP Holdings LP (RMGP), owned Rice Midstream Management LLC (now known as EQM Midstream Management LLC), RMP's general partner (the RMP General Partner), as well as limited partner interests and all of the IDRs in RMP. Rice Midstream Holdings controlled the RMP General Partner and therefore consolidated the results of RMP. In 2018, EQM obtained control of the operating entities of Rice Midstream Holdings through the following transactions: • On April 25, 2018, EQM, RMP and certain of their affiliates entered into an agreement and plan of merger, pursuant to which EQM acquired RMP and the RMP General Partner (the EQM-RMP Mergers). The EQM-RMP Mergers closed on July 23, 2018. • On May 1, 2018, EQM acquired the remaining outstanding limited liability company interests in Strike Force Midstream from Gulfport Midstream Holdings, LLC (Gulfport Midstream), an affiliate of Gulfport Energy Corporation (Gulfport), in exchange for $175 million in cash (the Gulfport Transaction). As a result, EQM indirectly owns 100% of Strike Force Midstream. • On May 22, 2018, and effective May 1, 2018, EQM, through its wholly owned subsidiary EQM Gathering Holdings, LLC (EQM Gathering), acquired all the outstanding limited liability company interests in each of EQM West Virginia, EQM Olympus and Strike Force Holdings (collectively the Drop-Down Entities), pursuant to the terms of a contribution and sale agreement dated as of April 25, 2018 by and among EQM, EQM Gathering, EQT and Rice Midstream Holdings, in exchange for an aggregate of 5,889,282 common units representing limited partner interests in EQM (EQM common units) and cash consideration of $1.15 billion, plus working capital adjustments (the Drop-Down Transaction). As a result of the closings of the Drop-Down Transaction and the Gulfport Transaction, effective May 1, 2018, the Drop-Down Entities and Strike Force Midstream became indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of EQM. EQM Merger. On June 17, 2020, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 26, 2020 (the EQM Merger Agreement), by and among the Company, EQM LP Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (EQM LP), LS Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of EQM LP (Merger Sub), EQM and the EQM General Partner, Merger Sub merged with and into EQM (the EQM Merger), with EQM continuing and surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon consummation of the EQM Merger, the Company acquired all of the outstanding EQM common units that the Company and its subsidiaries did not already own. Following the closing of the EQM Merger, EQM was no longer a publicly traded entity. See Note 2 for further information on the EQM Merger. Preferred Restructuring Agreement. On February 26, 2020, Equitrans Midstream and EQM entered into a Preferred Restructuring Agreement (the Restructuring Agreement) with all of the holders of the Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Units representing limited partner interests in EQM (such units, EQM Series A Preferred Units and, such investors, collectively, the Investors), pursuant to which, at the effective time of the EQM Merger (the Effective Time): (i) EQM redeemed $600 million aggregate principal amount of the Investors' EQM Series A Preferred Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Restructuring Closing (defined below), which occurred substantially concurrent with the closing of the EQM Merger, for cash at 101% of the EQM Series A Preferred Unit purchase price of $48.77 per such unit (the EQM Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Price) plus any accrued and unpaid distribution amounts and partial period distribution amounts, and (ii) immediately following such redemption, each remaining issued and outstanding EQM Series A Preferred Unit was exchanged for 2.44 shares of a newly authorized and created series of preferred stock, without par value, of Equitrans Midstream, convertible into Equitrans Midstream common stock (the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares) on a one for one basis, in each case, in connection with the occurrence of the “Series A Change of Control” (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of EQM (as amended, the Former EQM Partnership Agreement)) that occurred upon the closing of the EQM Merger (collectively, the Restructuring and, the closing of the Restructuring, the Restructuring Closing). See Note 2 for further information on the Restructuring Agreement. Basis of Presentation For each of the periods prior to the Separation presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the consolidated financial statements and related notes include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Midstream Business that were transferred to Equitrans Midstream upon the closing of the Distribution and represent the predecessor for accounting purposes of Equitrans Midstream (the Predecessor). References in these financial statements to Equitrans Midstream or the Company refer collectively to Equitrans Midstream Corporation and, as applicable, its consolidated subsidiaries for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated. Predecessor financial information has been derived from EQT's consolidated financial statements and accounting records and reflects the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company as if the Midstream Business had been consolidated for all periods presented. The financial statements for the Predecessor period include expense allocations for certain corporate functions historically performed by EQT, such as executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, supply chain, information technology and share-based compensation. See Note 8. The Company believes the assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements are reasonable; however, as organizational structure and strategic focus dictate expenses incurred, the financial statements may not include all expenses that would have been incurred had the Company existed as a standalone, publicly traded company for the entirety of the Predecessor period. Similarly, the financial statements for the Predecessor period may not reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Company existed as a standalone, publicly traded corporation for the entirety of the period. Nature of Business The Company provides midstream services to its customers in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio through its three primary assets: the gathering system, which includes predominantly dry gas gathering systems of high-pressure gathering lines; the transmission system, which includes FERC-regulated interstate pipelines and storage systems; and the water service system, which consists of water pipelines, impoundment facilities, pumping stations, take point facilities and measurement facilities that support well completion activities and collect flowback and produced water for recycling or disposal. As of December 31, 2020, the gathering system, inclusive of Eureka Midstream Holdings LLC's (Eureka Midstream) gathering system, included approximately 1,130 miles of high-pressure gathering lines with total contracted firm reservation capacity of approximately 7.0 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day, which included contracted firm reservation capacity of approximately 1.8 Bcf per day associated with EQM's high-pressure header pipelines, 132 compressor units with compression of approximately 485,000 horsepower and multiple interconnect points with the Company's transmission and storage system and to other interstate pipelines. As of December 31, 2020, the transmission and storage system included approximately 950 miles of FERC-regulated, interstate pipelines that have interconnect points to seven interstate pipelines and multiple local distribution companies (LDCs). The transmission and storage system is supported by 42 compressor units, with total throughput capacity of approximately 4.4 Bcf per day and compression of approximately 136,000 horsepower, and 18 associated natural gas storage reservoirs, which have a peak withdrawal capacity of approximately 900 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day and a working gas capacity of approximately 43 Bcf, in each case as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the water system included approximately 200 miles of pipelines that deliver fresh water from the Monongahela River, the Ohio River, local reservoirs and several regional waterways. The fresh water delivery services systems consist of permanent, buried pipelines, surface pipelines and fresh water storage facilities, as well as pumping stations and 24 fresh water impoundment facilities, which support fresh water transportation throughout the systems, and take point facilities and measurement facilities, which support well completion activities and collect and recycle or dispose flowback and produced water. Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation. The Company, for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements prior to November 12, 2018, did not exist as a standalone, publicly traded company holding the Midstream Business. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements are reflective of the Predecessor as applicable as described in "Basis of Presentation." The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all entities in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest. For consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the Company records noncontrolling interest related to the third-party ownership interests in those entities. Investments over which the Company can exert significant influence, but not control, are recorded under the equity method of accounting. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated for purposes of preparing these consolidated financial statements. Transactions between EQT, on the one hand, and the Company, EQGP or EQM, on the other hand, during the periods prior to the Separation Date, have been identified and presented as transactions between related parties and are discussed in Note 8. Segments. Operating segments are revenue-producing components of the enterprise for which separate financial information is produced internally and is subject to evaluation by the Company's chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources. The Company reports its operations in three segments that reflect its three lines of business of Gathering, Transmission and Water. The operating segments are evaluated based on their contribution to the Company's operating income and equity income. Transmission also includes the Company's investment in the MVP Joint Venture, which is treated as an equity investment for accounting purposes as described in Note 9; as a result, Transmission's portion of the MVP Joint Venture's operating results is reflected in equity income and not in Transmission's operating income. All of the Company's operating revenues, income and assets are generated or located in the United States. See Note 5 for financial information by segment. Reclassification: Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents. The Company classifies highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. Interest earned on cash equivalents is recorded as a reduction to net interest expense on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Accounts Receivables. Trade and other receivables are stated at their historical carrying amount. Judgment is required to assess the ultimate realization of accounts receivable, including assessing the probability of collection and the creditworthiness of customers. See below for a discussion on the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. See Note 12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at each reporting date are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs and assumptions underlying the valuation techniques. This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs and consists of three broad levels: • Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date. • Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. These are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. Valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs are favored. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy. Reclassifications of fair value between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, if applicable, are made at the end of each quarter. See Note 12 for information regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company's property, plant and equipment are stated at depreciated cost. Maintenance projects that do not increase the overall life of the related assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. The Company capitalized internal labor costs of $44.9 million, $47.6 million and $54.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company capitalized interest, including the debt component of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC), of $18.6 million, $29.5 million and $12.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table summarizes the Company's property, plant and equipment. December 31, 2020 2019 (Thousands) Gathering assets $ 6,691,954 $ 6,488,832 Accumulated depreciation (543,568) (472,286) Net gathering assets 6,148,386 6,016,546 Transmission and storage assets 1,877,753 1,844,859 Accumulated depreciation (370,764) (326,140) Net transmission and storage assets 1,506,989 1,518,719 Water services assets 251,885 238,808 Accumulated depreciation (90,841) (58,951) Net water services assets 161,044 179,857 Net other property, plant and equipment 11,477 8,845 Net property, plant and equipment $ 7,827,896 $ 7,723,967 Net other property, plant and equipment includes capitalized qualified implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract of $8.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company finalized the implementation of certain portions of its enterprise resource planning system in 2020 and amortized approximately $0.5 million of implementation costs in the year ended December 31, 2020. Depreciation is recorded using composite rates on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. The average depreciation rates for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were 2.5%, 2.7% and 2.7%, respectively. The Company estimates that gathering and transmission pipelines have useful lives of 20 years to 65 years and compression equipment has useful lives of 20 years to 50 years. The Company estimates that water pipelines, pumping stations and impoundment facilities have useful lives of 10 years to 15 years. As circumstances warrant, depreciation estimates are reviewed to determine if any changes in the underlying assumptions are necessary. Equitrans, L.P., the Company's FERC-regulated subsidiary, re-evaluates depreciation rates for its regulated property, plant and equipment each time it files with the FERC for a change in transmission, storage and gathering rates. Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, which are calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate. On the Rice Merger Date, pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated June 19, 2017 by and among EQT, Rice Energy and a wholly owned subsidiary of EQT (EQT Merger Sub), Rice Energy became a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of EQT. At the Rice Merger Date, through pushdown accounting, the Company recorded $623.2 million of intangible assets associated with acquired customer relationships. The Company's intangible assets acquired in the Rice Merger have a useful life of 15 years and are amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated annual amortization expense for these assets for each of the next five years is $41.5 million. The Company did not have any intangible assets prior to the Rice Merger. As a result of the Bolt-on Acquisition (as defined and discussed in Note 3), the Company recognized an additional $311.0 million of intangible assets for customer relationships with third-party customers. The Company previously utilized a useful life of 20 years for the Eureka Midstream- and Hornet Midstream Holdings, LLC (Hornet Midstream)-related intangible assets. As a result of expected changes in cash flows due to decreases in producer activity driven by lower natural gas prices in periods subsequent to the Bolt-on Acquisition closing, as of April 1, 2020, the Company prospectively changed the remaining useful life of the Eureka Midstream-related intangible assets to 10.75 years, increasing the expected annual amortization expense by $9.1 million. In addition, as a result of then-expected reductions in future cash flows, as of October 1, 2019, the useful life of the Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets was prospectively changed to 7.25 years. The estimated annual amortization expense for the Eureka Midstream- and Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets for each of the next five years is $23.3 million. See Note 4 for discussion of impairments to intangible assets. Intangible assets, net as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, are detailed below. December 31, 2020 2019 (Thousands) Intangible assets $ 897,795 $ 934,200 Less: impairment of Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets (a) (17,654) (36,405) Less: accumulated amortization (163,551) (100,356) Intangible assets, net $ 716,590 $ 797,439 (a) See Note 4 for disclosure regarding impairments of long-lived assets. Goodwill and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company may perform either a qualitative assessment of potential impairment or proceed directly to a quantitative assessment of potential impairment. The Company's qualitative assessment of potential impairment may result in the determination that a quantitative impairment analysis is not necessary. Under this elective process, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads the Company to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is not required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, a quantitative impairment analysis is performed. If the Company chooses not to perform a qualitative assessment, or if it chooses to perform a qualitative assessment but is unable to qualitatively conclude that no impairment has occurred, then the Company will perform a quantitative assessment. In the case of a quantitative assessment, the Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit with which the goodwill is associated and compares it to the carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value. See Note 4 for further detail. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. With respect to property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangibles, asset recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group with its expected future pre-tax undiscounted cash flows. These cash flow estimates require the Company to make projections and assumptions for many years into the future for pricing, demand, competition, operating cost and other factors. If the carrying amount exceeds the expected future undiscounted cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value as determined by quoted market prices in active markets or present value techniques if quotes are unavailable. The determination of the fair value using present value techniques requires the Company to make projections and assumptions regarding the probability of a range of outcomes and the rates of interest used in the present value calculations. Any changes the Company makes to these projections and assumptions could result in significant revisions to its evaluations of recoverability and the recognition of additional impairments. See Note 4 for further discussion on impairments of long-lived assets. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities. The Company accounts for the investments in its unconsolidated entities under the equity method. The Company’s pro-rata share of earnings in the unconsolidated entities is included in equity income in the Company’s statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Contributions to or distributions from the unconsolidated entities and the Company’s pro-rata share of earnings in the unconsolidated entities are recorded as adjustments to the investment balance. The Company reviews the carrying value of its investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value may have declined in value. When there is evidence of loss in value that is other than temporary, the Company compares the investment's carrying value to its estimated fair value to determine whether impairment has occurred. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, the Company estimates and recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the investment's carrying value and fair value. See Notes 4 and 9 for further detail. Preferred Interest. EQT Energy Supply, LLC (EES), a subsidiary of EQT, generates revenue by providing services to a local distribution company. The preferred interest that the Company has in EES (the Preferred Interest) is accounted for as a note receivable and is presented in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets with the current portion reported in other current assets. Distributions received from EES are recorded partly as a reduction to the Preferred Interest and partly as interest income, which is included in net interest expense in the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income. The EES operating agreement provides for mandatory redemption of the Preferred Interest at the end of the preference period, which is expected to be December 31, 2034. Unamortized Debt Discount and Issuance Costs. The Company amortizes debt discounts and issuance costs over the term of the related borrowing. Costs incurred from the issuance and/or extension, as applicable, of revolving credit facilities, including borrowings under the Amended EQM Credit Facility and the Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility (each as defined in Note 11), are presented in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Debt discounts and issuance costs for all other debt instruments are presented as a reduction to debt on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for further detail. Leases . Right-of-use assets represent the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception based on whether the Company has the right to control the use of an identified asset, the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset during the lease term and accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (ASC 842). Leases in which the Company is the lessee that do not have a readily determinable implicit rate utilize an incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments. When a secured borrowing rate is not readily available, unsecured borrowing rates are adjusted for the effects of collateral to determine the incremental borrowing rate. The Company reassesses the incremental borrowing rate for any new and modified lease contracts as of the contract effective date. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases. See Note 7. Other Current Liabilities. The following table summarizes the Company's accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. December 31, 2020 2019 (Thousands) Accrued employee compensation $ 46,108 $ 46,805 Non-income tax reserves 19,492 19,380 Current portion of operating lease liabilities 9,990 11,709 Other accrued liabilities 7,776 5,344 Total accrued liabilities $ 83,366 $ 83,238 Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs). The Company has AROs related to its water system impoundments and to one of its gathering compressor stations, for which the Company recorded an associated liability and capitalized a corresponding amount to asset retirement costs. The liability relates to the expected future obligation to dismantle, reclaim and dispose of these assets and was estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows, adjusted for inflation and discounted at the Company's credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. The AROs are recorded in regulatory and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. During 2020, the Company began the reclamation process for multiple water system impoundments. The ultimate completion of the reclamations is expected in late 2021 or early 2022. The following table presents changes in the Company's AROs during 2020 and 2019. December 31, 2020 2019 (Thousands) AROs at beginning of period $ 12,301 $ 11,935 Liabilities settled (724) — Revisions to estimated liabilities (a) — (201) Accretion expense 595 567 AROs at end of period $ 12,172 $ 12,301 (a) Revisions to estimated liabilities reflect changes in retirement cost assumptions and to the estimated timing of liability settlement. The Company is not legally or contractually obligated to restore or dismantle its transmission and storage systems and its gathering systems, other than the one aforementioned compressor station. The Company is legally required to operate and maintain these assets and intends to do so as long as supply and demand for natural gas exists, which the Company expects to continue into the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company did not have any AROs related to its transmission and storage and gathering (other than the aforementioned compressor station) assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Investments in Consolidated, Non-Wholly-Owed Entities | Investments in Consolidated, Non-Wholly Owned Entities Investment in EQM Issuances as Drop-Down Transaction and EQM-RMP Mergers Consideration. As described in Note 1, the Drop-Down Transaction was completed effective May 1, 2018. As part of the consideration for the Drop-Down Transaction, EQM issued 5,889,282 EQM common units to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On July 23, 2018, in connection with the EQM-RMP Mergers discussed in Note 1, the 102,323,796 common units representing limited partner interest in RMP (RMP common units) then issued and outstanding converted into 33,963,753 EQM common units based on the exchange ratio of 0.3319, the 36,220 outstanding RMP phantom units fully vested and converted into 12,024 EQM common units based on the exchange ratio of 0.3319, less applicable tax withholding, and the issued and outstanding IDRs in RMP were canceled. Of the RMP common units issued and outstanding at the time of the EQM-RMP Mergers, the Company owned 28,757,246 RMP common units, which converted into 9,544,530 EQM common units. EQM IDR Transaction . On February 22, 2019, the Company completed a simplification transaction pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 13, 2019, by and among the Company and certain related parties, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Equitrans Merger Sub, LP merged with and into EQGP (the IDR Merger) with EQGP continuing as the surviving limited partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of EQM, and (ii) each of (a) the IDRs in EQM, (b) the economic portion of the general partner interest in EQM and (c) the issued and outstanding common units representing limited partner interests in EQGP (EQGP common units) were canceled, and, as consideration for such cancellation, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company received on a pro rata basis 80,000,000 newly-issued EQM common units and 7,000,000 newly-issued Class B units representing limited partner interests in EQM (Class B units), and the EQM General Partner retained the non-economic general partner interest in EQM (such transactions, collectively, the EQM IDR Transaction). Additionally, as part of the EQM IDR Transaction, 21,811,643 EQM common units held by EQGP were canceled and 21,811,643 EQM common units were issued pro rata to certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. As a result of the EQM IDR Transaction, the EQM General Partner replaced EQM Midstream Services, LLC as the general partner of EQM. After giving effect to the EQM IDR Transaction, including the issuance of Class B units, Equitrans Gathering Holdings, EQM GP Corp and EMH held 89,505,616, 89,536 and 27,650,303 EQM common units, respectively, for a total of 117,245,455 EQM common units. Additionally, Equitrans Gathering Holdings, EQM GP Corp and EMH held 6,153,907, 6,155 and 839,938 Class B units, respectively, for a total of 7,000,000 Class B units. EQM Series A Preferred Units. On March 13 , 2019, EQM entered into a Convertible Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement, together with Joinder Agreements entered into on March 18, 2019, with the Investors to issue and sell in a private placement (the Private Placement) an aggregate of 24,605,291 EQM Series A Preferred Units for a cash purchase price of $48.77 per EQM Series A Preferred Unit, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion. The net proceeds from the Private Placement were used in part to fund the purchase price in the Bolt-on Acquisition and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the Bolt-on Acquisition, and the remainder was used for general partnership purposes. The Private Placement closed concurrently with the closing of the Bolt-on Acquisition on April 10, 2019, as discussed further in Note 3. See below for a discussion on the Preferred Restructuring Agreement. EQM Merger. As discussed in Note 1, on June 17, 2020, the Company, EQM, EQM LP, Merger Sub and the EQM General Partner completed the EQM Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into EQM, with EQM continuing and surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the EQM Merger, EQM is no longer a publicly traded entity. At the Effective Time, subject to applicable tax withholding, (i) each outstanding EQM common unit, other than EQM common units owned by the Company and its subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive 2.44 shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock (the Merger Consideration); (ii) (x) $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the EQM Series A Preferred Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were redeemed by EQM for cash at 101% of the EQM Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Price plus any accrued and unpaid distribution amounts and partial period distribution amounts, and (y) immediately following such redemption, each remaining issued and outstanding EQM Series A Preferred Unit was exchanged for 2.44 Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares; and (iii) each outstanding phantom unit relating to an EQM common unit issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated EQGP Services, LLC 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, dated as of February 22, 2019 (the EQM LTIP), and any other award issued pursuant to the EQM LTIP, whether vested or unvested, was converted into the right to receive, with respect to each EQM common unit subject thereto, the Merger Consideration (plus any accrued but unpaid amounts in relation to distribution equivalent rights). The limited partner interests in EQM owned by the Company and its subsidiaries (including the Class B units) remained outstanding as limited partner interests in the surviving entity. The EQM General Partner continued to own the non-economic general partner interest in the surviving entity. No fractional shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock were issued in the EQM Merger; instead, all fractions of Equitrans Midstream common stock to which an EQM common unitholder otherwise would have been entitled were aggregated and the resulting fraction was rounded up to the nearest whole share of Equitrans Midstream common stock. In connection with the EQM Merger at the Effective Time, the Company's omnibus and secondment agreements with EQM and certain other subsidiaries of the Company terminated, subject to the survival of certain license rights and indemnification obligations. Because the Company controlled EQM both before and after the EQM Merger, the increase in the Company’s ownership interest in EQM resulting from the EQM Merger was accounted for as an equity transaction and reflected as a reduction of the noncontrolling interest associated with public ownership of EQM common units, offset by an increase in common stock, no par value. No gain or loss was recognized in the Company’s statements of consolidated comprehensive income as a result of the EQM Merger. In addition, the tax effects of the EQM Merger were reported as adjustments to deferred income taxes and Equitrans Midstream common stock, consistent with ASC 740, Income Taxes . Immediately prior to the completion of the EQM Merger, the public limited partners collectively owned a 40.1% interest in EQM, excluding the impact of the EQM Series A Preferred Units. The publicly-owned EQM common units, prior to completion of the EQM Merger, were reflected within noncontrolling interest in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020. The portion of EQM earnings attributable to publicly-held EQM common units prior to completion of the EQM Merger was reflected in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Additionally, for the period from January 1, 2020 to June 17, 2020, the Company determined that EQM was a variable interest entity. Through the Company's ownership and control of the general partner of EQM during that period, the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly affected EQM's economic performance. As a result of the EQM Merger, EQM is no longer a variable interest entity. The Company recorded $23.8 million in expenses related to the EQM Merger and the EQT Global GGA (defined in Note 4) during the year ended December 31, 2020. The expenses consisted of advisor, legal and accounting fees related to the transactions and are included in separation and other transaction costs in the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Preferred Restructuring Agreement. As discussed in Note 1, on June 17, 2020, concurrently with the closing of the EQM Merger: (i) EQM redeemed $600 million aggregate principal amount of the EQM Series A Preferred Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time for cash at 101% of the EQM Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Price plus any accrued and unpaid distribution amounts and partial period distribution amounts, and (ii) immediately following such redemption, each remaining issued and outstanding EQM Series A Preferred Unit was exchanged for 2.44 Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares, in each case, in connection with the occurrence of the “Series A Change of Control” (as defined in the Former EQM Partnership Agreement) that occurred upon the closing of the EQM Merger. The Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares issued were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. On June 17, 2020, the Company paid cash of $617.3 million to redeem $600 million aggregate principal amount of the Investors’ EQM Series A Preferred Units and pay partial period distributions on such EQM Series A Preferred Units. At the time of the redemption, the carrying value of the EQM Series A Preferred Units was $590.1 million, resulting in a premium over the carrying value of $27.3 million. The premium represented a return similar to distributions to the holders of the EQM Series A Preferred Units and, as such, reduced net income attributable to Equitrans Midstream common shareholders, and was recorded in retained earnings (deficit) in the statements of consolidated equity. Pursuant to the Restructuring Agreement, in connection with the Restructuring Closing, the Company filed a statement with respect to shares, attaching a Certificate of Designations (the Certificate of Designations), with the Pennsylvania Department of State on June 17, 2020 to, among other things, authorize and establish the designations, rights and preferences of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares. On August 13, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, the Company paid $10.9 million in the aggregate to holders of Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares related to forgone partial period distributions on the EQM Series A Preferred Units that were converted into Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares in connection with the EQM Merger. The Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares were a new class of security as of June 2020. They rank pari passu with any other outstanding class or series of preferred stock of the Company and senior to Equitrans Midstream common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation. The Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares vote on an as-converted basis with Equitrans Midstream common stock and have certain other class voting rights with respect to any amendment to the Certificate of Designations or the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that would be adverse (other than in a de minimis manner) to any of the rights, preferences or privileges of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares. The holders of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares receive cumulative quarterly dividends at a rate per annum of 9.75% for each quarter ending on or before March 31, 2024, and thereafter quarterly dividends at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) three-month LIBOR as of the LIBOR Determination Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) in respect of the applicable quarter and (ii) 8.15%; provided that such rate per annum in respect of periods after March 31, 2024 will not be less than 10.50%. The Company is not permitted to pay any dividends on any junior securities, including on Equitrans Midstream common stock, prior to paying the quarterly dividends payable to the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares, including any previously accrued and unpaid dividends. Each holder of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares may elect to convert all or any portion of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares owned by it into Equitrans Midstream common stock initially on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and an adjustment for any dividends that have accrued but not been paid when due and partial period dividends (referred to as the conversion rate), at any time (but not more often than once per fiscal quarter) after April 10, 2021 (or immediately prior to a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company), provided that any conversion involves an aggregate number of Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares of at least $20.0 million (calculated based on the closing price of Equitrans Midstream common stock on the trading day preceding notice of the conversion) or such lesser amount if such conversion relates to all of a holder’s remaining Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares or if such conversion is approved by the Company's Board of Directors (Board). So long as the holders of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares have not elected to convert all of their Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares into Equitrans Midstream common stock, the Company may elect to convert all of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares into Equitrans Midstream common stock, at the then-applicable conversion rate, at any time after April 10, 2021 if (i) the shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock are listed for, or admitted to, trading on a national securities exchange, (ii) the closing price per share of Equitrans Midstream common stock on the national securities exchange on which the shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock are listed for, or admitted to, trading exceeds $27.99 for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding notice of the conversion, (iii) the average daily trading volume of the Equitrans Midstream common stock on the national securities exchange on which the shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock are listed for, or admitted to, trading exceeds 1,000,000 shares (subject to certain adjustments) of Equitrans Midstream common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding notice of the conversion, (iv) the Company has an effective registration statement on file with the SEC covering resales of the shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock to be received by such holders upon any such conversion and (v) the Company has paid all prior accumulated and unpaid dividends in cash in full to the holders. Upon certain events involving a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) in which more than 90% of the consideration payable to the Company, or to the holders of Equitrans Midstream common stock, is payable in cash, the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Equitrans Midstream common stock at a conversion ratio equal to the greater of (i) the quotient of (a) the sum of (x) $19.99 (such price, the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Share Issue Price) plus (y) any accrued and unpaid dividends as of such date, including any partial period dividends, with respect to the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares, divided by (b) the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Share Issue Price and (ii) the quotient of (a) the sum of (x)(1) the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Share Issue Price multiplied by (2) 110% plus (y) any accrued and unpaid dividends on such date, including any partial period dividends with respect to the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares, divided by (b) the volume weighted average price of the shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock for the 30-day period ending immediately prior to the execution of definitive documentation relating to the Change of Control. In connection with other Change of Control events that do not satisfy the 90% cash consideration threshold described above, in addition to certain other conditions, each holder of Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares may elect to (i) convert all, but not less than all, of its Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares into Equitrans Midstream common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate, (ii) if the Company is not the surviving entity (or if the Company is the surviving entity, but Equitrans Midstream common stock will cease to be listed), require the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the surviving entity in any such transaction to deliver, in exchange for such holder's Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares, a substantially equivalent security that has rights, preferences and privileges substantially equivalent to the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares (or if the Company is unable to cause such substantially equivalent securities to be issued, to exercise the option described in clause (i) or (iv) hereof or elect to convert such Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares at a conversion ratio reflecting a multiple of invested capital), (iii) if the Company is the surviving entity, continue to hold the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares or (iv) require the Company to redeem the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares at a price per share equal to 101% of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Share Issue Price, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, including any partial period dividends, on the applicable Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares as of such date, which redemption price may be payable in cash, Equitrans Midstream common stock or a combination thereof at the election of the Board (and, if payable in Equitrans Midstream common stock, such Equitrans Midstream common stock will be issued at 95% of the volume-weighted average price of Equitrans Midstream common stock for the 20-day period ending on the fifth trading day immediately preceding the consummation of the Change of Control). Any holder of Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares that requires the Company to redeem its Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares pursuant to clause (iv) above will have the right to withdraw such election with respect to all, but not less than all, of its Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares at any time prior to the fifth trading day immediately preceding the consummation of the Change of Control and instead elect to be treated in accordance with any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above. At any time on or after January 1, 2024, the Company will have the right, subject to applicable law, to redeem the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, by paying cash for each Equitrans Midstream Preferred Share to be redeemed in an amount equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (i)(1) the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Share Issue Price multiplied by (2) 110%, plus (ii) any accrued and unpaid dividends, including partial period dividends, with respect to the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares as of such date and (b) the amount the holder of such Equitrans Midstream Preferred Share would receive if such holder had converted such Equitrans Midstream Preferred Share into shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock at the then-applicable conversion ratio and the Company liquidated immediately thereafter. Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement, in connection with the Restructuring Closing, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investors (the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company gave the Investors certain rights to require the Company to file and maintain one or more registration statements with respect to the resale of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares and the shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares, and certain Investors have the right to require the Company to initiate underwritten offerings for the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares and the shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares. During the year ended December 31, 2020, as a result of the Restructuring Closing, the Company recorded an increase in mezzanine equity of $667.2 million, a decrease in noncontrolling interest of $579.2 million and a decrease in common stock, no par value, of $100.5 million, net of deferred taxes of $12.5 million. The Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares are considered redeemable securities under GAAP due to the possibility of redemption outside the Company’s control. They are therefore presented as temporary equity in the mezzanine equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are not considered to be a component of shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets. The Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares were recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance, and income allocations increase the carrying value and declared dividends decrease the carrying value of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares. As the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares are not currently redeemable and not probable of becoming redeemable, adjustment to the initial carrying amount is not necessary and would only be required if it becomes probable that the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares would become redeemable. Investment in EQGP RMP IDR Transaction. On May 22, 2018, pursuant to an IDR purchase and sale agreement dated April 25, 2018, by and among EQT, RMGP and EQGP, EQGP acquired from RMGP all of the issued and outstanding IDRs in RMP in exchange for 36,293,766 EQGP common units (the RMP IDR Transaction). EQGP Unit Purchases. On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into written agreements (the Unit Purchase Agreements) with certain investors owning an aggregate of 15,364,421 EQGP common units for $20.00 per EQGP common unit (the Purchase Price). On December 31, 2018, the Company closed on the acquisition of an aggregate 14,560,281 EQGP common units pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreements (the Initial Unit Purchase Closing) for an aggregate purchase price of $291.2 million. The Initial Unit Purchase Closing resulted in a reduction of additional paid-in capital of $46.8 million and a decrease in noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries of $244.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. On January 2, 2019 and January 3, 2019, the Company closed on the acquisition of the remaining 804,140 EQGP common units that the Company did not purchase on December 31, 2018, pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreements for an aggregate purchase price of $16.1 million (together with the Initial Unit Purchase Closing on December 31, 2018, the EQGP Unit Purchases). EQGP Limited Call Right. Following the Initial Unit Purchase Closing, on December 31, 2018, the Company exercised a limited call right (the Limited Call Right and, together with the EQGP Unit Purchases, the EQGP Buyout) provided for in EQGP's agreement of limited partnership, dated as of October 12, 2018, pursuant to which the Company purchased all outstanding EQGP common units (other than those owned by the Company and its affiliates) at the Purchase Price. On January 10, 2019, the Company completed its exercise of the Limited Call Right by closing on the acquisition on the remaining 11,097,287 outstanding EQGP common units not owned by the Company or its affiliates for an aggregate purchase price of $221.9 million, and EQGP became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the completion of the EQGP Buyout on January 10, 2019, certain non-employee members of the Board of Directors of EQGP's general partner stepped down from their roles and were paid the Purchase Price for each EQGP phantom unit that they held, which was, in the aggregate, 29,829 EQGP phantom units, including accrued distributions. In addition, on January 10, 2019, EQGP's omnibus agreement with Equitrans Midstream was terminated. Net Changes in Ownership of EQGP and EQM As a result of equity transactions relating to EQGP and EQM, the Company adjusted noncontrolling interest and parent net investment.

Mergers and Acquisitions | Mergers and Acquisitions EQM Merger. See Note 2. Bolt-on Acquisition. On March 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with North Haven Infrastructure Partners II Buffalo Holdings, LLC (NHIP), an affiliate of Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners, pursuant to which the Company acquired from NHIP a 60% Class A interest in Eureka Midstream and a 100% interest in Hornet Midstream (collectively, the Bolt-on Acquisition) for total consideration of approximately $1.04 billion, composed of approximately $852 million in cash, net of purchase price adjustments, and approximately $192 million in assumed pro-rata debt. At the time of the acquisition, Eureka Midstream owned a 190-mile gathering header pipeline system in Ohio and West Virginia that services both dry Utica and wet Marcellus Shale production and Hornet Midstream owned a 15-mile, high-pressure gathering system in West Virginia that connects to the Eureka Midstream system. The Bolt-on Acquisition closed on April 10, 2019 and was funded through proceeds from the Private Placement of the EQM Series A Preferred Units that closed concurrently with the Bolt-on Acquisition. See Note 2 for further information regarding the Private Placement. At the closing of the Bolt-on Acquisition, a subsidiary of Hornet Midstream terminated all of its obligations under its term loan credit agreement and repaid the $28.2 million outstanding principal balance and $0.1 million in related interest and fees. The Company recorded $17.0 million in acquisition-related expenses related to the Bolt-on Acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Bolt-on Acquisition acquisition-related expenses included $15.3 million for professional fees and $1.7 million for compensation arrangements during the year ended December 31, 2019, and are included in separation and other transaction costs in the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. The Bolt-on Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized $99.2 million of goodwill, which was allocated to the Gathering segment. Such goodwill primarily related to additional commercial opportunities, a diversified producer customer mix, increased exposure to dry Utica and wet Marcellus acreage and operating leverage within the Gathering segment. The purchase price allocation and related adjustments were finalized during the fourth quarter of 2019. The following table summarizes the final purchase price and allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Bolt-on Acquisition as of April 10, 2019 by the Company, as well as certain measurement period adjustments made subsequent to the Company's initial valuation. (in thousands) Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation (As initially reported) Measurement Period Adjustments (a) Purchase Price Allocation (As adjusted) Consideration given: Cash consideration (b) $ 861,250 $ (11,404) $ 849,846 Buyout of portion of Eureka Midstream Class B units and incentive compensation 2,530 — 2,530 Total consideration 863,780 (11,404) 852,376 Fair value of liabilities assumed: Current liabilities 52,458 (9,857) 42,601 Long-term debt 300,825 — 300,825 Other long-term liabilities 10,203 — 10,203 Amount attributable to liabilities assumed 363,486 (9,857) 353,629 Fair value of assets acquired: Cash 15,145 — 15,145 Accounts receivable 16,817 — 16,817 Inventory 12,991 (26) 12,965 Other current assets 882 — 882 Net property, plant and equipment 1,222,284 (8,906) 1,213,378 Intangible assets (c) 317,000 (6,000) 311,000 Deferred tax asset 5,773 (5,268) 505 Other assets 14,567 — 14,567 Amount attributable to assets acquired 1,605,459 (20,200) 1,585,259 Noncontrolling interests (486,062) 7,602 (478,460) Goodwill as of April 10, 2019 $ 107,869 $ (8,663) $ 99,206 Impairment of goodwill (d) (99,206) Goodwill as of December 31, 2020 $ — (a) The Company recorded measurement period adjustments to its preliminary acquisition date fair values due to the refinement of its valuation models, assumptions and inputs. The measurement period adjustments were based upon information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized at that date. (b) The cash consideration for the Bolt-on Acquisition was adjusted by approximately $11.4 million related to working capital adjustments and the release of all escrowed indemnification funds to the Company. (c) After considering the refinements to the valuation models, the Company estimated the fair value of the customer-related intangible assets acquired as part of the Bolt-on Acquisition to be $311.0 million. As a result, the fair value of the customer-related intangible assets was decreased by $6.0 million on September 30, 2019 with a corresponding increase to goodwill. In addition, the change to the provisional amount resulted in a decrease in amortization expense and accumulated amortization of approximately $0.4 million. (d) During the third quarter of 2019, the Company identified impairment indicators that suggested the fair value of its goodwill was more likely than not below its carrying amount. As such, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment, which resulted in the Company recognizing impairment to goodwill of approximately $268.1 million, of which $99.2 million was associated with its Eureka/Hornet reporting unit, bringing the reporting unit's goodwill balance to zero. See Note 4 for further detail. The estimated fair value of midstream facilities and equipment, generally consisting of pipeline systems and compression stations, was estimated using the cost approach. Significant unobservable inputs in the estimate of fair value under this approach included management's assumptions about the replacement costs for similar assets, the relative age of the acquired assets and any potential economic or functional obsolescence associated with the acquired assets. As a result, the estimated fair value of the midstream facilities and equipment represented a Level 3 fair value measurement. As a result of the acquisition, the noncontrolling interest in Eureka Midstream was estimated to be $478.5 million. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was calculated based on the enterprise value of Eureka Midstream and the percentage ownership not acquired by the Company. Significant unobservable inputs in the enterprise value of Eureka Midstream include future revenue estimates and future cost assumptions. As a result, the fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company identified intangible assets for customer relationships with third-party customers. The fair value of the customer relationships with third-party customers was determined using the income approach, which requires a forecast of the expected future cash flows generated and an estimated market-based weighted average cost of capital. Significant unobservable inputs in the determination of fair value include future revenue estimates, future cost assumptions and estimated customer retention rates. As a result, the estimated fair value of the identified intangible assets represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Company previously utilized a useful life of 20 years for the Eureka Midstream- and Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets. As a result of expected changes in cash flows due to decreases in producer activity driven by lower natural gas prices in periods subsequent to the Bolt-on Acquisition closing, as of April 1, 2020, the Company prospectively changed the remaining useful life of the Eureka Midstream-related intangible assets to 10.75 years, increasing the expected annual amortization expense by $9.1 million. In addition, as a result of then expected reductions in future cash flows, as of October 1, 2019, the useful life of the Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets was prospectively changed to 7.25 years. The estimated annual amortization expense for the Eureka Midstream- and Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets for the next five years is $23.3 million. Intangible assets, net, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 related to the Bolt-on Acquisition are detailed below. December 31, (in thousands) 2020 2019 Intangible assets $ 274,595 $ 311,000 Less: impairment of Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets (a) 17,654 36,405 Less: accumulated amortization 21,648 11,711 Intangible assets, net $ 235,293 $ 262,884 (a) See Note 4 for disclosure regarding impairments of long-lived assets. In conjunction with the Bolt-on Acquisition, the Company recorded tax deductible goodwill of $43.0 million. The Company does not have tax basis on the portion attributable to the former noncontrolling limited partners of EQM. Post-Acquisition Operating Results.

Impairments of Long-Lived Assets | Impairments of Long-Lived Assets Goodwill. On February 26, 2020 (the EQT Global GGA Effective Date), the Company (through EQM) entered into a Gas Gathering and Compression Agreement (as amended, the EQT Global GGA) with EQT for the provision of certain gas gathering services to EQT in the Marcellus and Utica Shales of Pennsylvania and West Virginia (as further discussed in Note 6). Prior to the EQT Global GGA Effective Date, the Company operated three reportable operating segments and seven reporting units, which are one level below the operating segment level and are generally based on how segment management reviews the Company's operating results. Commencing with the EQT Global GGA Effective Date, the Company reduced its reporting units from seven to six and maintained its three reportable operating segments. As of the EQT Global GGA Effective Date, the only reporting unit to which the Company had goodwill recorded related to the Pennsylvania gathering assets acquired in connection with the EQM-RMP Mergers in July 2018 (RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit). As a result of the EQT Global GGA, the assets under, and operations associated with, the RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit and the reporting unit associated with the gas gathering and compression activities of EQM Gathering Opco, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (EQM Opco reporting unit), were combined to service a collective minimum volume commitment (MVC) under the agreement. Therefore, effective on the EQT Global GGA Effective Date, the RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit was merged with and into the EQM Opco reporting unit, with the EQM Opco reporting unit surviving. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company identified impairment indicators in the form of significant declines in the unit price of EQM common units and corresponding market capitalization. Management considered these declines as indicators that the fair value of the RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit may have been below its carrying amount, and the performance of an interim quantitative goodwill impairment assessment was required. Additionally, as a result of the combination of the RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit and the EQM Opco reporting unit, the Company tested both the RMP PA Gas Gathering and the merged EQM Opco reporting units for goodwill impairment. In estimating the fair value of the RMP PA Gas Gathering and the merged EQM Opco reporting units, the Company used a combination of the income approach and the market approach. The Company used the income approach’s discounted cash flow method, which applies significant inputs not observable in the public market (Level 3), including estimates and assumptions related to the use of an appropriate discount rate, future throughput volumes, operating costs, capital spending and changes in working capital. The Company used the market approach’s comparable company and reference transaction methods. The comparable company method evaluates the value of a company using metrics of other businesses of similar size and industry. The reference transaction method evaluates the value of a company based on pricing multiples derived from similar transactions entered into by similar companies. As a result of the interim assessment, the Company determined that the fair values of the RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit and the merged EQM Opco reporting unit, as applicable, were greater than their respective carrying values. No impairment to goodwill was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in estimating its reporting units’ fair values are reasonable and appropriate; however, different assumptions and estimates could materially affect the calculated fair values of the RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit and the merged EQM Opco reporting unit and the resulting conclusions on impairment of goodwill, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position. Additionally, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions may not be realized. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment as required as part of the annual goodwill impairment assessment. As a result of the annual assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of the EQM Opco reporting unit was greater than its carrying value. No impairment to goodwill was recorded as a result of the annual impairment assessment. As of December 31, 2020, the Company's goodwill balance was $486.7 million, which was associated entirely with the EQM Opco reporting unit. The EQM Opco reporting unit is susceptible to further impairment risk from future adverse market or economic conditions and company-specific qualitative factors or other adverse factors such as unexpected future production curtailments by the Company's customers that have contracts with volumetric-based fees. Any such adverse changes in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair value and could result in a decline in fair value that could trigger future impairment charges relating to the EQM Opco reporting unit. The three reporting units to which the Company had goodwill during 2019 were (i) the Ohio gathering assets acquired in connection with EQM’s acquisition of the outstanding limited liability company interests in each of EQM West Virginia, EQM Olympus and Strike Force Holdings (collectively, Rice Retained Midstream), (ii) RMP PA Gas Gathering and (iii) the Ohio and West Virginia gathering assets acquired in the Bolt-on Acquisition (Eureka/Hornet, collectively with Rice Retained Midstream and RMP PA Gas Gathering, the Reporting Units). During the third quarter of 2019, the Company identified impairment indicators in the form of significant declines in the unit price of EQM common units and corresponding market capitalization, primarily as a result of continued suppressed natural gas prices and decreased producer drilling activity. Management considered these declines as indicators that the fair value of goodwill was more likely than not below the carrying amounts for the respective Reporting Units. As such, the performance of an interim goodwill impairment assessment was required. In estimating the fair value of each of the Reporting Units, the Company used a combination of the income approach and the market approach, both as described above. As of August 31, 2019, the Company determined that the fair value of Rice Retained Midstream was greater than its carrying value; however, the carrying values of RMP PA Gas Gathering and Eureka/Hornet were each greater than their respective fair values. As a result, the Company recognized impairment of goodwill of $168.9 million and $99.2 million on RMP PA Gas Gathering and Eureka/Hornet, respectively. The non-cash impairment charges are included in the impairments of long-lived assets line on the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income. During the fourth quarter of 2019, as of the date of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company concluded the performance of a quantitative impairment assessment was required. Factors contributing to this conclusion were the continued decline of the Company's market capitalization in the fourth quarter and the sustained declines in producer drilling activity driven by market conditions including natural gas pricing. Consistent with the third quarter 2019 interim goodwill impairment assessment, the Company used the income approach’s discounted cash flow method and the market approach’s comparable company and reference transaction methods. During the Company’s fourth quarter 2019 impairment assessment, the Company determined that the carrying values of RMP PA Gas Gathering and Rice Retained Midstream were each greater than their respective fair values. As a result, the Company recognized impairment of goodwill of $433.2 million and $150.5 million on RMP PA Gas Gathering and Rice Retained Midstream, respectively. The non-cash impairment charge is included in the impairments of long-lived assets line on the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Following the third quarter of 2018 and prior to the Separation, the Company identified impairment indicators in the form of production curtailments announced by a primary customer of the Rice Retained Midstream and RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting units that could reduce volumetric-based fee revenues of those Reporting Units. In estimating the fair value of those Reporting Units, the Company used a combination of the income approach (specifically, the discounted cash flow method) and the market approach (specifically, the comparable company and reference transaction methods). For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined that the fair value of the Rice Retained Midstream reporting unit was greater than its carrying value; however, the carrying value of the RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company recognized impairment of goodwill of approximately $261.9 million to the RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit. The non-cash impairment charge is included in the impairments of long-lived assets line on the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income. The following table summarizes the carrying amount of goodwill associated with the Company's Reporting Units for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. EQM Opco (a) Rice Retained Midstream Eureka/Hornet Total (Thousands) Goodwill as of January 1, 2018 $ 1,346,918 $ 37,954 $ — $ 1,384,872 Add: transfer of goodwill from EQT 3,803 112,535 — 116,338 Less: impairment of goodwill (261,941) — — (261,941) Goodwill as of December 31, 2018 1,088,780 150,489 — 1,239,269 Add: goodwill associated with Bolt-on Acquisition — — 99,206 99,206 Less: impairment of goodwill (602,082) (150,489) (99,206) (851,777) Goodwill as of December 31, 2019 486,698 — — 486,698 Goodwill as of December 31, 2020 $ 486,698 $ — $ — $ 486,698 (a) As discussed above, effective on the EQT Global GGA Effective Date, the RMP PA Gas Gathering reporting unit was merged with and into the EQM Opco reporting unit, with the EQM Opco reporting unit surviving. Long-Lived Assets and Equity Method Investment. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. With respect to property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangibles, asset recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group with its expected future pre-tax undiscounted cash flows. These cash flow estimates require the Company to make projections and assumptions for many years into the future for pricing, demand, competition, operating cost and other factors. If the carrying amount exceeds the expected future undiscounted cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value as determined by quoted market prices in active markets or present value techniques if quotes are unavailable. The determination of the fair value using present value techniques requires the Company to make projections and assumptions regarding the probability of a range of outcomes and the rates of interest used in the present value calculations. Any changes the Company makes to these projections and assumptions could result in significant revisions to its evaluations of recoverability and the recognition of additional impairments. As of March 31, 2020, the Company performed a recoverability test of the Hornet Midstream long-lived assets due to decreased producer activity. As a result of the recoverability test, management determined that the carrying value of the Hornet Midstream long-lived assets (which consisted of gathering assets and customer-related intangible assets) was not recoverable under ASC 360, Impairment Testing: Long-Lived Assets Classified as Held and Used . During the first quarter of 2020, the Company estimated the fair value of the Hornet Midstream asset group and determined that the fair value was not in excess of the assets’ carrying value, which resulted in impairment charges of approximately $37.9 million to the gathering assets and approximately $17.7 million to the customer-related intangible assets both within the Company’s Gathering segment. The non-cash impairment charges were recognized during the first quarter of 2020 and are included in the impairments of long-lived assets line on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company assessed its long-lived asset groups for impairment due to the triggering events described in the 2019 interim goodwill impairment summary above. As a result of the recoverability test, management determined that the carrying value of certain long-lived assets associated with Eureka/Hornet (specifically, Hornet Midstream customer-related intangible assets) were not recoverable. The Company estimated the fair value of the Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets and determined that the fair value was not in excess of the assets’ carrying value, which resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $36.4 million related to certain of such intangible assets within the Company's Gathering segment. The non-cash impairment charge is included in the impairments of long-lived assets line on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. During the fourth quarter of 2019, a triggering event occurred as a result of the Company's annual goodwill impairment evaluation, which required the Company to perform a recoverability test on its long-lived assets. No impairment to long-lived assets was recorded as a result of the recoverability test. During 2019, the Company reassessed its asset groupings for its regulated pipelines due to certain regulatory ratemaking policy changes affecting the regulated pipelines, changes in strategic focus and plans for segmentation of operations. Prior to the second quarter of 2019, the Company defined its regulated asset grouping to include the FERC-regulated transmission and storage assets, integrated with the low-pressure assets due to overlapping operations, a shared costs structure and similar ratemaking structures. During the second quarter of 2019, Equitrans, L.P. reached a settlement related to its FERC Form 501-G report, which was focused solely on the Company’s FERC-regulated transmission and storage assets. Further, management increased its operational focus and emphasis on high-pressure gathering assets as illustrated by the consummation of the Bolt-on Acquisition. As a result of these regulatory changes and shift in operational focus, beginning with the second quarter of 2019, the Company grouped its FERC-regulated assets in two asset groupings: FERC-regulated transmission and storage assets and FERC-regulated low-pressure gathering assets. Upon the change in asset grouping, management evaluated whether any indicators of impairment were present and, in conjunction with the evaluation, the Company determined that the carrying values for the non-core FERC-regulated low-pressure gathering assets exceeded their undiscounted cash flows. Additionally, following the settlement related to the FERC Form 501-G report, management did not, and currently does not plan to, seek to recover the deficient cash flows through a future rate proceeding. The Company therefore estimated the fair values of FERC-regulated low-pressure gathering assets and determined that their fair values were not in excess of the assets’ carrying values, which resulted in recognized impairments of property and equipment of approximately $81.0 million during 2019 related to the assets within the Company's Gathering segment. As a result of the impairment, the assets carry no book value. The non-cash impairment charge is included in the impairments of long-lived assets line on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. During the fourth quarter of 2018, a triggering event occurred as a result of the Company's annual goodwill impairment evaluation, which required the Company to perform a recoverability test on its long-lived assets. No impairment was recorded as a result of the recoverability test. No impairment of any long-lived assets was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company is also required to evaluate its equity method investment in the MVP Joint Venture to determine whether it is impaired under ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures . The standard for determining whether an impairment must be recorded under ASC 323 is whether there occurred an other-than-temporary decline in value. The Company monitors events or circumstances that may indicate the carrying value of such investment may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value. The fair value of an equity method investment is generally estimated using an income approach under which significant judgments and assumptions include expected future cash flows, the appropriate discount rate and probability-weighted scenarios. Events or circumstances that may be indicative of an other-than-temporary decline in value of an equity method investment include, but are not limited to: • a prolonged period of time that the fair value is below the investor’s carrying value; • the current expected financial performance is significantly worse than anticipated when the investor originally invested in the investee; • adverse regulatory action is expected to substantially reduce the investee’s product demand or profitability; • the investee has lost significant customers or suppliers with no immediate prospects for replacement; • the investee’s discounted or undiscounted cash flows are below the investor’s carrying amount; and • the investee’s industry is declining and significantly lags the performance of the economy as a whole. The estimates that the Company makes with respect to its equity method investment are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable, and the impact of variations in these estimates or the underlying assumptions could be material. Additionally, if any joint venture to which the investment relates recognizes an impairment under ASC 360, the Company would be required to record its proportionate share of such impairment loss and would also evaluate such investment for an other-than-temporary decline in value under ASC 323. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investment in the MVP Joint Venture was approximately $2.8 billion. During 2020, the MVP Joint Venture received certain adverse court rulings in the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals as described in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings.” As a result, the Company evaluated its investment for impairment and determined that the fair value of the investment continued to exceed the carrying value and, therefore, no impairment was necessary. The Company estimated the fair value of its investment in the MVP Joint Venture using an income approach that primarily considered probability-weighted scenarios of discounted future net cash flows based on the most recent estimate of total project costs and revenues as of December 31, 2020. These scenarios reflected assumptions and judgments regarding various future court decisions and regulatory authorizations and the impact that those decisions and authorizations may have on the timing and extent of the Company’s investment, including scenarios assuming the full resolution of permitting issues. The Company’s analysis took into account, among other things, growth expectations from additional compression expansion opportunities. The Company generally used an after-tax discount rate of 5.5% in the analysis derived based on a market participant approach. Based on the Company’s expectations for the projects, and taking into account, among other things, regulatory considerations, public support for the MVP project by the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, and other publicly available information, the Company assigned higher probabilities for scenarios under which the Company received all required legal and regulatory approvals and authorizations and certain compression expansion opportunities are realized. A low probability was assigned to the scenario under which the project is canceled. There is risk that the carrying value of the Company's investment in the MVP Joint Venture may be impaired in the future. There are ongoing legal and regulatory matters that must be resolved before the MVP and MVP Southgate projects can be completed. Assumptions and estimates utilized in assessing the Company’s investment in the MVP Joint Venture for impairment as of December 31, 2020 may change if adverse or delayed resolutions to these legal or regulatory matters or other adverse developments were to occur and adverse changes in circumstances relevant to the likelihood of project completion could prompt the Company, in future assessments, to apply a lower probability of project completion, which could have a material adverse effect on the fair value of the Company's investment in the MVP Joint Venture and potentially result in an impairment. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, certain regulatory developments pertaining to the MVP project, including inaction by the FERC on January 19, 2021 in respect to certain MVP Joint Venture requests, directly contributed to an approximate 17% decrease in the Company’s closing stock price between January 15, 2021 and January 20, 2021. If the Company’s stock price does not recover before the end of the first quarter of 2021, such change in the Company’s market value during the first quarter may trigger a quantitative assessment for impairment for the first quarter of 2021, which may result in the Company realizing impairments, the magnitude of which it is unable to estimate as of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. |

Revenue from Contract with Customers | Revenue from Contracts with Customers For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, all revenues recognized on the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income are from contracts with customers. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, all receivables recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets represent performance obligations that have been satisfied and for which an unconditional right to consideration exists. Summary of disaggregated revenues. The tables below provide disaggregated revenue information by business segment. Year Ended December 31, 2020 Gathering Transmission Water Total (Thousands) Firm reservation fee revenues (a) $ 595,720 $ 364,533 $ 41,798 $ 1,002,051 Volumetric-based fee revenues 416,561 29,303 62,910 508,774 Total operating revenues $ 1,012,281 $ 393,836 $ 104,708 $ 1,510,825 Year Ended December 31, 2019 Gathering Transmission Water Total (Thousands) Firm reservation fee revenues $ 581,118 $ 356,569 $ 11,190 $ 948,877 Volumetric-based fee revenues 578,813 33,951 68,601 681,365 Total operating revenues $ 1,159,931 $ 390,520 $ 79,791 $ 1,630,242 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Gathering Transmission Water Total (Thousands) Firm reservation fee revenues $ 447,360 $ 356,725 $ — $ 804,085 Volumetric-based fee revenues 549,710 30,076 111,227 691,013 Total operating revenues $ 997,070 $ 386,801 $ 111,227 $ 1,495,098 (a) For the year ended December 31, 2020, firm reservation fee revenues associated with Gathering included approximately $15.0 million of MVC unbilled revenues. There were no MVC unbilled revenues associated with Gathering during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Contract assets. The Company recognizes contract assets in instances where billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition and the Company's right to invoice the customer is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. The Company's contract assets primarily consist of revenue recognized under contracts containing MVCs whereby management has concluded (i) it is probable there will be a MVC deficiency payment at the end of the then-current MVC period, which is typically the period beginning at the inception of such contracts through the successive twelve month periods after that date, and (ii) that a significant reversal of revenue recognized currently for the future MVC deficiency payment will not occur. As a result, the Company's contract assets related to the Company's future MVC deficiency payments are generally expected to be collected within the next twelve months and are included in other current assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets until such time as the MVC deficiency payments are invoiced to the customer. The following table presents changes in the Company's unbilled revenue balance during the year ended December 31, 2020: Unbilled Revenue (Thousands) Balance as of January 1, 2020 $ — Revenue recognized in excess of amounts invoiced (a) 28,446 Minimum volume commitments invoiced (b) (9,828) Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 18,618 (a) Primarily includes revenues associated with unbilled MVCs that are included in firm reservation fee revenues within the Gathering and Water segments, as described in the Summary of Disaggregated Revenues table above. (b) Unbilled revenues are transferred to accounts receivable once the Company has an unconditional right to consideration from the customer. Contract liabilities. As of December 31, 2020, the Company's contract liabilities consisted of deferred revenue associated with the EQT Global GGA, including advance payments from EQT associated with the Rate Relief Shares (as defined below) acquired by the Company as consideration for certain commercial terms and the initial fair value of the Henry Hub cash bonus payment provision (as defined below). The contract liabilities are classified as current or non-current according to when such amounts are expected to be recognized. As of December 31, 2020, the contract liabilities are classified as non-current as none of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in revenue during the next five years. Contracts requiring advance payments and the recognition of contract liabilities are evaluated to determine whether the advance payments provide the Company with a significant financing benefit. This determination requires significant judgment and is based on the combined effect of the expected length of time between when the Company transfers the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods or services and the prevailing interest rates. The Company has assessed the EQT Global GGA and determined that this agreement does not contain a significant financing component. The following table presents changes in the Company's contract liability balances during the year ended December 31, 2020: Contract Liability (Thousands) Balance as of January 1, 2020 $ — Amounts recorded during the period (a) 398,750 Amounts transferred during the period (b) — Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 398,750 (a) Includes deferred billed revenue of approximately $225.7 million recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020 associated with the EQT Global GGA. (b) Deferred revenues are recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of the Company's performance obligation to the customer. Summary of remaining performance obligations. The following table summarizes the estimated transaction price allocated to the Company's remaining performance obligations under all contracts with firm reservation fees and MVCs as of December 31, 2020 that the Company will invoice or transfer from contract liabilities and recognize in future periods. 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total (Thousands) Gathering firm reservation fees $ 159,669 $ 158,699 $ 158,606 $ 157,104 $ 149,597 $ 1,192,897 $ 1,976,572 Gathering revenues supported by MVCs 508,468 575,437 607,671 568,341 562,622 4,818,885 7,641,424 Transmission firm reservation fees 357,730 381,314 341,046 279,493 246,408 2,371,249 3,977,240 Water revenues supported by MVCs 2,028 60,000 60,000 60,000 60,000 60,000 302,028 Total (a) $ 1,027,895 $ 1,175,450 $ 1,167,323 $ 1,064,938 $ 1,018,627 $ 8,443,031 $ 13,897,264 (a) Includes assumptions regarding timing for placing certain projects, including the MVP, in-service. Delays in the in-service dates for projects may substantially alter the remaining performance obligations for certain contracts with firm reservation fees and/or MVCs. Based on total projected contractual revenues, including projected contractual revenues from future capacity expected from expansion projects that are not yet fully constructed for which the Company has executed firm contracts, the Company's firm gathering contracts and firm transmission and storage contracts had weighted average remaining terms of approximately 15 years and 14 years, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. EQT Global GGA. On the EQT Global GGA Effective Date, the Company entered into the EQT Global GGA with EQT for the provision by the Company of certain gas gathering services to EQT in the Marcellus and Utica Shales of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Pursuant to the EQT Global GGA, EQT is subject to an initial annual MVC of 3.0 Bcf per day that gradually steps up to 4.0 Bcf per day for several years following the in-service date of the MVP. The EQT Global GGA runs from the EQT Global GGA Effective Date through December 31, 2035, and will renew annually thereafter unless terminated by EQT or the Company pursuant to its terms. Pursuant to the EQT Global GGA, the Company has certain obligations to build connections to connect EQT wells to its gathering system, which are subject to geographical limitations in relation to the dedicated area in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, as well as the distance of such connections to the Company's then-existing gathering system. Management has estimated the total consideration expected to be received over the life of the EQT Global GGA, including gathering MVC revenue with a declining rate structure, the fair value of the Rate Relief Shares (as defined below) and the initial fair value of the Henry Hub cash bonus payment provision. The total consideration is allocated proportionally to the performance obligation under the contract, which is to provide daily MVC capacity over the life of the contract, in order to recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The performance obligations will be satisfied during the life of the contract based on a units of production methodology for the daily MVC capacity provided to EQT. Due to the declining rate structure, there will be periods during which the billable gathering MVC revenue will exceed the allocated consideration to the performance obligation, which will result in billable gathering MVC revenue being deferred to the contract liability. The deferred consideration amounts are deferred until recognized in revenue when the associated performance obligation has been satisfied and are classified as current or non-current according to when such amounts are expected to be recognized. In addition to the estimated total consideration allocated to the daily MVC, the EQT Global GGA includes other fees based on variable or volumetric-based services that will be recognized in the period the services are provided. The Company applied judgment in determining the balance sheet classification of the elements of the EQT Global GGA and Share Purchase Agreements (defined below) under the applicable accounting guidance. The EQT Global GGA provides for potential cash bonus payments payable by EQT to the Company during the period beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter in which the MVP in-service date occurs through the earlier of the twelfth calendar quarter from that point or the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2024 (the Henry Hub cash bonus payment provision). The potential cash bonus payments are conditioned upon the quarterly average of certain Henry Hub natural gas prices exceeding certain price thresholds. The Henry Hub cash bonus payment provision meets the definition of an embedded derivative that was required to be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for separately in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . The embedded derivative was recorded as a derivative asset at its estimated fair value at inception of approximately $51.5 million and as part of the contract liability to be included in the total consideration to be allocated to the performance obligation under ASC 606. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the derivative instrument through the end of the contract are recognized in other income on the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income. The gathering MVC fees payable by EQT to the Company set forth in the EQT Global GGA are subject to potential reductions for certain contract years as set forth in the EQT Global GGA, conditioned upon the in-service date of the MVP, which provide for estimated aggregate fee relief of approximately $270 million in the first year after the in-service date of the MVP, approximately $230 million in the second year after the in-service date of the MVP and approximately $35 million in the third year after the in-service date of the MVP. In addition, if the MVP in-service date has not occurred by January 1, 2022, EQT has an option, exercisable for a period of twelve months (or such shorter period if the in-service date of the MVP occurs), to forgo approximately $145 million of the gathering fee relief in the first year after the MVP in-service date and approximately $90 million of the gathering fee relief in the second year after the MVP in-service date in exchange for a cash payment from the Company to EQT in the amount of approximately $196 million (the EQT Cash Option). As consideration for the additional rate relief subject to the EQT Cash Option, the Company purchased shares of its common stock (see Rate Relief Shares discussed and defined below) from EQT. The consideration received for future contractual rate relief associated with the Rate Relief Shares was recorded at a fair value of approximately $121.5 million as a contract liability in accordance with ASC 606 and will be recognized as revenue over the life of the contract. Water Services Letter Agreement. On February 26, 2020, the Company entered into a letter agreement with EQT, pursuant to which EQT agreed to utilize the Company for the provision of water services in Pennsylvania under existing water services agreements and new water services agreements if negotiated between the parties (such letter agreement, the Water Services Letter Agreement). The Water Services Letter Agreement is effective as of the first day of the first month following the MVP in-service date and will expire on the fifth anniversary of such date. During each year of the Water Services Letter Agreement, EQT agreed that fixed MVC fees payable to the Company for water services incurred on a volumetric basis, provided in accordance with existing agreements and new agreements entered into between the parties pursuant to the Water Services Letter Agreement (or the related agreements), will be equal to or greater than $60 million per year. Share Purchase Agreements. On February 26, 2020, the Company entered into two share purchase agreements (the Share Purchase Agreements) with EQT, pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) purchase 4,769,496 shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock (the Cash Shares) from EQT in exchange for approximately $46 million in cash, (ii) purchase 20,530,256 shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock (the Rate Relief Shares and, together with the Cash Shares, the Share Purchases) from EQT in exchange for a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $196 million (which EQT subsequently assigned to EQM as consideration for certain commercial terms under the EQT Global GGA), and (iii) pay EQT cash in the amount of approximately $7 million (the Cash Amount). On March 5, 2020, the Company completed the Share Purchases and paid the Cash Amount. The Company used proceeds from the EQM Credit Facility (defined in Note 11) to fund the purchase of the Cash Shares and to pay the Cash Amount in addition to other uses of proceeds. After the closing of the Share Purchases, the Company retired the Cash Shares and the Rate Relief Shares. Additionally, the Company recorded a $17.2 million deferred tax liability in conjunction with the Rate Relief Shares. On September 29, 2020, the Company made a prepayment to EQM of all principal, interest, fees and other obligations outstanding under the promissory note EQT assigned to EQM and the promissory note was terminated. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases The Company has certain facility and compressor operating lease contracts that are classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC 842. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are considered short-term and are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, the short-term leases are recognized in expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Upon the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and a corresponding operating lease liability of $49.7 million on its consolidated balance sheets, reflecting the present value of future lease payments on the Company's facility and compressor lease contracts. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no lease contracts classified as financing leases and was not a lessor; however, the Company was party to a subleasing arrangement whereby the Company, as sublessor, agreed to sublet office space to a third party. In connection with the Bolt-on Acquisition, the Company acquired 10 compressor leases and one facility lease for which it recorded approximately $4.7 million in operating lease expenses during the year ended December 31, 2019. As of the date of acquisition, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and a corresponding operating lease liability of approximately $20.0 million for these acquired leases on its consolidated balance sheets.

Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Related Party Transactions with EQT As of December 31, 2020, EQT remained a related party to the Company due to its ownership of 25,296,026 shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock, which represented an approximately 5.8% ownership interest in the Company, excluding the impact of the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares. In the ordinary course of business, the Company engaged, and continues to engage, as applicable, in transactions with EQT and its affiliates, including, but not limited to, gathering agreements, transportation service and precedent agreements, storage agreements and water services agreements. EQGP's, EQM's and RMP's Omnibus Agreements with EQT. Prior to the Separation and Distribution, EQGP, EQM and RMP each had an omnibus agreement with EQT. Pursuant to the omnibus agreements, EQT performed centralized corporate general and administrative services for EQGP, EQM and RMP and provided a license for EQGP's and EQM's use of the name "EQT" and related marks in connection with their businesses. EQGP, EQM and RMP reimbursed EQT for the expenses incurred by EQT in providing these services. EQM's and RMP's omnibus agreements also provided for certain indemnification obligations between EQM and RMP, on the one hand, and EQT, on the other hand. On November 12, 2018, EQT terminated the EQGP, EQM and RMP omnibus agreements. Certain indemnification obligations of EQT, EQM and RMP remain in effect following the termination and have been memorialized pursuant to (i) the amended and restated omnibus agreement, dated November 13, 2018, among EQT, EQM and the EQM General Partner, and (ii) the second amended and restated omnibus agreement, dated November 13, 2018, among EQT, EQT RE, LLC, RMP, EQM Midstream Management LLC (formerly known as Rice Midstream Management LLC) and EQM Poseidon Midstream LLC (formerly known as Rice Poseidon Midstream LLC). The Company is generally responsible for the surviving obligations of EQT under certain omnibus agreements pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Separation and Distribution Agreement. On November 12, 2018, the Company, EQT and EQT Production Company entered into the Separation and Distribution Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, EQT effected the Separation. The Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for, among other things, indemnification obligations designed to make the Company financially responsible for substantially all liabilities that may exist relating to the Midstream Business, whether incurred prior to or after the Separation. Tax Matters Agreement. On November 12, 2018, in connection with the Separation and Distribution, the Company and EQT entered into a tax matters agreement (the Tax Matters Agreement) that governs the parties' respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes (including taxes arising in the ordinary course of business and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the Distribution and certain related transactions to qualify as generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes), tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and assistance and cooperation with respect to tax matters. The Tax Matters Agreement provides special rules that allocate tax liabilities in the event that the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, is not tax-free. In general, under the Tax Matters Agreement, each party is expected to be responsible for any taxes, whether imposed on the Company or EQT, that arise (i) from the failure of the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, to qualify for tax-free treatment, or (ii) if certain related transactions were to fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment, in each case, to the extent that the failure to qualify is attributable to actions, events or transactions relating to such party's respective stock, assets or business or a breach of the relevant representations or covenants made by that party in the Tax Matters Agreement. Employee Matters Agreement. On November 12, 2018, in connection with the Separation and Distribution, the Company and EQT entered into an employee matters agreement (the Employee Matters Agreement). Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company and EQT allocated liabilities and responsibilities related to employment and compensation and benefits matters and generally agreed to the Company's assumption of liabilities associated with employees transferred from EQT to the Company in connection with the Separation and Distribution. The Company also agreed to establish certain retirement and welfare plans that mirrored similar plans in effect at EQT, and EQT and the Company agreed to the adjustment and replacement of equity compensation awards denominated in EQT common stock in part with awards denominated in Equitrans Midstream common stock. Shareholder and Registration Rights Agreement. On November 12, 2018, in connection with the Separation and Distribution, the Company entered into a shareholder and registration rights agreement (the EQT Registration Rights Agreement) with EQT, pursuant to which the Company agreed that, upon the request of EQT, the Company would use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the shares comprising the Retained Interest, and EQT agreed to vote any shares comprising the Retained Interest in proportion to the votes cast by the Company's other shareholders. EQT granted the Company a proxy to vote its shares comprising the Retained Interest in such proportion. On November 5, 2019, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 to, among other things, register the Retained Interest. The EQT Registration Rights Agreement also includes provisions to facilitate the transferability of EQT's ownership interest in the Company. Related Party Transactions with EQGP and EQM ETRN EQM Omnibus Agreements. Pursuant to an omnibus agreement with EQM, the EQM General Partner (as successor to the former EQM general partner) and the Company (the ETRN Omnibus Agreement), the Company performed centralized corporate, general and administrative services for EQM. In exchange, EQM reimbursed the Company for the expenses incurred by the Company in providing these services. In connection with the entry by EQM and the Company into an Assignment and Bill of Sale on March 31, 2019, the ETRN Omnibus Agreement was amended and restated, to, among other things, govern the Company's use, and payment for such use, of the acquired assets following their conveyance to EQM under the Assignment and Bill of Sale. In connection with the EQM Merger, the ETRN Omnibus Agreement terminated at the Effective Time, subject to the survival of certain license rights and indemnification obligations. See Note 2. ETRN EQGP Omnibus Agreement. For the period from November 13, 2018 through January 10, 2019, EQGP reimbursed the Company for certain expenses related to corporate and general and administrative services provided by the Company pursuant to an omnibus agreement between EQGP and the Company. The omnibus agreement between EQGP and the Company was terminated on January 10, 2019 in connection with the EQGP Buyout. See Note 2. Secondment Agreement. Pursuant to a secondment agreement, employees of the Company and its affiliates were, prior to the closing of the EQM Merger, seconded to EQM to provide operating and other services with respect to EQM's business under the direction, supervision and control of EQM. EQM reimbursed the Company and its affiliates for the services provided by the seconded employees. The expenses for which EQM reimbursed the Company and its affiliates were not necessarily reflective of the actual expenses that EQM would incur on a stand-alone basis. EQM is unable to estimate what those expenses would be on a stand-alone basis. In connection with the EQM Merger, the Company's secondment agreement with EQM terminated at the Effective Time.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
Investment in Unconsolidated Entity | Investment in Unconsolidated Entity The MVP Joint Venture is constructing the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), an estimated 300-mile natural gas interstate pipeline that will span from northern West Virginia to southern Virginia. The Company will operate the MVP and owned a 46.2% interest in the MVP project as of December 31, 2020. On November 4, 2019, Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison) exercised an option to cap its investment in the MVP project at approximately $530 million (excluding AFUDC). The Company and NextEra Energy, Inc. are obligated to, and RGC Resources, Inc., another member of the MVP Joint Venture owning an interest in the MVP project, has opted to, fund the shortfall in Con Edison's capital contributions, on a pro rata basis. Such funding by the Company and funding by other members has and will correspondingly increase the Company's and such other funding members' respective interests in the MVP project and decrease Con Edison's interest in the MVP project. As a result, based on the midpoint of the project's $5.8 billion to $6.0 billion (excluding AFUDC) targeted cost, the Company's equity ownership in the MVP project will progressively increase from approximately 46.2% to approximately 47.6%. The MVP Joint Venture is a variable interest entity because it has insufficient equity to finance its activities during the construction stage of the project. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the MVP Joint Venture because the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the MVP Joint Venture's economic performance. Certain business decisions, such as decisions to make distributions of cash, require a greater than 66 2/3% ownership interest approval, and no one member owns more than a 66 2/3% interest. In April 2018, the MVP Joint Venture announced the MVP Southgate project, a proposed 75-mile interstate pipeline that will extend from the MVP at Pittsylvania County, Virginia to new delivery points in Rockingham and Alamance Counties, North Carolina. The Company will operate the MVP Southgate pipeline and owned a 47.2% interest in the MVP Southgate project as of December 31, 2020. In December 2020, the MVP Joint Venture issued a capital call notice for the funding of the MVP project to MVP Holdco, LLC (MVP Holdco), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for $9.1 million, which is expected to be paid in March 2021. In December 2020, the MVP Joint Venture issued a capital call notice for the funding of the MVP Southgate project to MVP Holdco for $0.8 million, which was paid in January 2021. In addition, in January 2021, the MVP Joint Venture issued a capital call notice for the funding of the MVP Southgate project to MVP Holdco for $0.8 million, of which $0.3 million was paid in February 2021 and $0.5 million is expected to be paid in March 2021. The capital contributions payable and the corresponding increase to the investment balance are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. The Company's investment in the MVP Joint Venture is an equity method investment for accounting purposes because the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the MVP Joint Venture's operating and financial policies. Pursuant to the MVP Joint Venture's limited liability company agreement, MVP Holdco is obligated to provide performance assurances, which may take the form of a guarantee from EQM (provided that EQM's debt is rated as investment grade in accordance with the requirements of the MVP Joint Venture's limited liability company agreement), a letter of credit or cash collateral, in favor of the MVP Joint Venture to provide assurance as to the funding of MVP Holdco's proportionate share of the construction budget for the MVP project. In 2019, EQM issued a performance guarantee in an amount equal to 33% of MVP Holdco's proportionate share of the then-remaining construction budget for the MVP project. As of December 31, 2019, EQM's performance guarantee was approximately $223 million. In addition, pursuant to the MVP Joint Venture's limited liability company agreement, MVP Holdco is obligated to provide performance assurances in respect of MVP Southgate, which performance assurances may take the form of a guarantee from EQM (provided that EQM's debt is rated as investment grade in accordance with the requirements of the MVP Joint Venture's limited liability company agreement), a letter of credit or cash collateral. In 2019, EQM issued a performance guarantee of $14 million in favor of the MVP Joint Venture for the MVP Southgate project. As of December 31, 2019, EQM's performance guarantee associated with the MVP Southgate project was approximately $14 million. As a result of EQM’s credit rating downgrades in the first quarter of 2020, EQM delivered replacement credit support to the MVP Joint Venture in the form of letters of credit in the amounts of approximately $220.2 million and $14.2 million with respect to the MVP project and MVP Southgate project, respectively. In connection with delivering such letters of credit as replacement performance assurances, EQM's performance guarantees associated with the MVP and MVP Southgate projects were terminated. During the fourth quarter of 2020, based on the midpoint of the targeted project cost, EQM delivered a replacement letter of credit with respect to the MVP project in the amount of approximately $231.2 million. As of December 31, 2020, the letters of credit with respect to the MVP project and MVP Southgate project were in the amounts of approximately $231.2 million and $14.2 million, respectively. Upon the FERC’s initial release to begin construction of the MVP Southgate project, the Company’s current letter of credit to support MVP Southgate will be terminated, and the Company will be obligated to deliver a new letter of credit (or provide another allowable form of performance assurance) in an amount equal to 33% of MVP Holdco’s proportionate share of the remaining capital obligations for the MVP Southgate project under the applicable construction budget. As of December 31, 2020, the Company's maximum financial statement exposure related to the MVP Joint Venture was approximately $3,031 million, which consisted of the investment in unconsolidated entity balance on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, net of capital contributions payable, and the letters of credit outstanding under the Amended EQM Credit Facility. The following tables summarize the audited condensed consolidated financial statements of the MVP Joint Venture in relation to the MVP project.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-based Compensation Plans | Share-based Compensation PlansThe Company maintains employee share-based compensation plans for restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, stock options and other equity or cash-based awards as governed by the Equitrans Midstream Corporation 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2018 Plan), which was effective as of November 12, 2018. The 2018 Plan's term is through the 2028 shareholders' meeting and the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued and as to which awards may be granted under the 2018 Plan is 38,592,386 shares (3,592,386 of which represent the unused share reserve under the Amended and Restated EQGP Services, LLC 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which were assumed by the Company in connection with the EQM Merger). In accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement, previously outstanding share-based compensation awards granted under EQT's equity compensation programs prior to the Separation and held by certain executives and employees of the Company and EQT were adjusted to reflect the impact of the Separation on these awards. To preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of EQT awards held prior to the Separation, as measured immediately before and immediately after the Separation (excluding EQT option awards which were converted in accordance with the conversion provisions set forth in the Employee Matters Agreement), each holder of EQT share-based compensation awards generally received an adjusted award consisting of both a share-based compensation award denominated in EQT equity and a share-based compensation award denominated in Company equity. These awards were adjusted in accordance with the basket method, resulting in participants retaining one unit of the existing EQT incentive award while receiving an additional 0.8 units of a Company-based award and include awards that will be share-settled and awards expected to be satisfied in cash, which are treated as liability awards. In connection with the Separation, the Company assumed certain obligations related to the EQT share-based compensation awards outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions, the terms of the underlying long-term incentive programs remain unchanged and are tied to EQT performance metrics and employees' vesting for all awards requires continuous service to their post-Separation employer through the vesting date of the respective awards. The share-based compensation awards that were adjusted and assumed by the Company in connection with the Separation consist primarily of the following programs: Incentive Performance Share Unit Programs, Value Driver Performance Share Unit Award Programs, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, deferred share equivalents and non-qualified stock option awards. Non-employee members of the Company's Board receive and, prior to the EQM Merger, non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the EQM General Partner received, phantom units in connection with their board service payable in the applicable entity's common equity upon the director's termination of services from the applicable board of directors. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense related to unvested awards held by its employees, no matter which entity settles the obligation. In accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company is obligated to settle all outstanding share-based compensation awards denominated in the Company's equity at the vesting date, regardless of whether the holders are employees of the Company or EQT on the vesting date. Likewise, EQT is obligated to settle all of its outstanding share-based compensation awards denominated in its equity at the vesting date, regardless of whether the holders are employees of the Company or EQT on the vesting date. Changes in performance and the number of outstanding awards can impact the ultimate amount of these obligations. Share-based awards to be settled in Equitrans Midstream common stock upon settlement will be funded by shares acquired by the Company in the open market or from any other person, stock issued directly by the Company or any combination of the foregoing. Share counts for share-based compensation discussed herein represent outstanding shares to be remitted by the Company to its employees and employees of EQT (or, as applicable, former employees of the Company or EQT) pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement. The following table summarizes the components of share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 (Thousands) 2016 Incentive PSU Program $ — $ — $ 956 2017 Incentive PSU Program — (893) 1,642 2018 Incentive PSU Program 698 (360) 906 2019 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program 4,935 — — 2020 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program 2,317 — — 2017 EQT Value Driver Performance Share Unit Award Program — — 255 2018 EQT Value Driver Performance Share Unit Award Program — 637 2,890 Restricted stock awards 7,422 5,197 1,048 Other programs, including non-employee director awards 1,577 1,833 2,879 Total share-based compensation expense $ 16,949 $ 6,414 $ 10,576 The Company capitalizes compensation cost for its share-based compensation awards based on an employee's job function. Capitalized compensation costs for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $1.9 million, ($0.5) million and $4.3 million, respectively. Incentive Performance Share Unit Programs – Equity & Liability Portions of the following Incentive Performance Share Unit Programs were assumed by the Company at the Separation Date: • the 2016 EQT Incentive Performance Share Unit Program (2016 Incentive PSU Program); • the 2017 EQT Incentive Performance Share Unit Program (2017 Incentive PSU Program); and • the 2018 EQT Incentive Performance Share Unit Program (2018 Incentive PSU Program). The Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Company's Board (the Compensation Committee) adopted the Equitrans Midstream Corporation 2019 Performance Share Unit Program (the 2019 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program) and the Equitrans Midstream Corporation 2020 Performance Share Unit Program (the 2020 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program). The 2016 Incentive PSU Program, 2017 Incentive PSU Program, the 2018 Incentive PSU Program (collectively, the EQT Incentive PSU Programs), the 2019 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program and the 2020 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program (together with the 2019 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program, the Equitrans Midstream PSU Programs), are referred to herein as the Incentive PSU Programs. With the exception of the 2016 Incentive PSU Program, which vested in equity awards only, the Incentive PSU Programs will vest in both equity and liability awards. The EQT Incentive PSU Programs were established by EQT to provide long-term incentive opportunities to key employees to further align their interests with those of EQT's shareholders and with the strategic objectives of EQT. The Company established the Equitrans Midstream PSU Programs to provide long-term incentive opportunities to key employees to further align their interests with those of the Company's shareholders and with the strategic objectives of the Company. The performance period for each of the awards under the Incentive PSU Programs, except for the 2020 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program, is 36 months, with vesting occurring upon payment following the expiration of the performance period, subject to continued service through such vesting date. The awards under the 2020 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program may be earned over four separate performance periods as follows: (i) 20% for each of the three calendar years that occur following the vesting commencement date (i.e., the 2020, 2021 and 2022 calendar years) and (ii) 40% for the cumulative three-year period following the vesting commencement date (i.e., January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022), with vesting occurring upon payment following the expiration of the cumulative three-year performance period, subject to continued service through such vesting date. The EQT Incentive PSU Program awards granted in 2016 and 2017 were earned based on the following: • the level of EQT total shareholder return relative to a predefined peer group; and • the cumulative EQT total sales volume growth, in each case, over the performance period. Effective as of the Separation and pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, the 2018 Incentive PSU Program awards were modified such that one-third (2018T1) of the award will be earned based on the following: • the level of EQT total shareholder return relative to a predefined peer group; • the level of EQT operating and development cost improvement; and • EQT return on capital employed. Of the remaining two-thirds (2018T2) of the 2018 Incentive PSU Program awards, the EQT component of the award will be earned based on the following: • the level of EQT total shareholder return relative to a predefined peer group; • the level of EQT operating and development cost improvements; and • EQT return on capital employed. The Company component of the remaining two-thirds of the award will be earned based on the following: • the level of Equitrans Midstream total shareholder return relative to a predefined peer group; and • the cumulative Equitrans Midstream total shareholder return. The 2019 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program awards granted in 2019 will be earned based on the following: • the level of Equitrans Midstream total shareholder return relative to a predefined peer group; and • the cumulative Equitrans Midstream total shareholder return. The 2020 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program awards granted in 2020 will be earned based on the following: • the level of Equitrans Midstream total shareholder return relative to a predefined peer group, but not to exceed 100% if the Company's total shareholder return is less than zero percent. The payout factor for (i) the EQT Incentive PSU Programs varied between zero and 300% of the number of outstanding units and (ii) the Equitrans Midstream PSU Programs varies between zero and 200% of the number of outstanding units, each contingent on the applicable performance metrics. The Company recorded the 2016 Incentive PSU Program and portions of the 2017 Incentive PSU Program, the 2018 Incentive PSU Program, the 2019 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program and the 2020 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program to be settled in stock as equity awards using a grant date fair value determined through a Monte Carlo simulation, which projects the common stock price for EQT or the Company, as applicable, and their peers at the ending point of the applicable performance period. The 2017 Incentive PSU Program, the 2018 Incentive PSU Program, the 2019 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program and the 2020 Equitrans Midstream PSU Program also included awards to be settled in cash and, therefore, were recorded at fair value as of the measurement date determined through a Monte Carlo simulation, which projects the common stock price for EQT or the Company, as applicable, and their peers at the ending point of the applicable performance period. The expected share prices were generated using each company's annual volatility for the expected term and the commensurate three-year or two-year risk-free rates (each shown in the chart below) for equity awards and liability awards, respectively. The vesting of the units under each Incentive PSU Program occurs upon payment following the expiration of the applicable performance period, subject to continued service through such date, and the satisfaction of the underlying performance or market condition. The following table provides detailed information on each award: Incentive PSU Program Settled In Accounting Treatment Fair Value (a) Risk Free Rate Vested/ Payment Date Awards Paid Value Unvested/ Expected Payment Date Awards Outstanding as of December 31, 2020 (b) 2016 Stock Equity $ 109.30 1.31 % February 2019 569,290 $ 62.2 N/A N/A 2017 Stock Equity $ 120.60 1.47 % February 2020 66,822 8.1 N/A N/A 2017 Cash Liability $ 13.36 N/A February 2020 146,387 2.0 N/A N/A 2018 Stock Equity $ 76.53 1.97 % N/A N/A N/A First Quarter of 2021 85,872 2018T1 Cash Liability $ 8.04 N/A N/A N/A N/A First Quarter of 2021 29,049 2018T2 Cash Liability $ 8.04 N/A N/A N/A N/A First Quarter of 2021 58,097 2019 Stock Equity $ 15.03 2.54 % N/A N/A N/A First Quarter of 2022 483,555 2019 Cash Liability $ 4.03 0.09 % N/A N/A N/A First Quarter of 2022 211,297 2020 Stock Equity $ 5.59 0.39 % N/A N/A N/A First Quarter of 2023 731,115 2020 Cash Liability $ 9.44 0.13 % N/A N/A N/A First Quarter of 2023 414,153 (a) Grant date fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation for equity awards. For unvested liability awards, the fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation as of the measurement date for unvested liability awards. For vested liability awards, the fair value is equal to the Company’s stock price at the end of the performance period. (b) Represents the number of outstanding units as of December 31, 2020, adjusted for forfeitures, to be settled in stock or cash. Fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation method with the following weighted average assumptions: For Incentive PSU Programs Issued During the Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Accounting Treatment Liability (a) Equity Liability (a) Equity Equity Risk-free rate 0.13 % 0.39 % 0.09 % 2.54 % 1.97 % Dividend yield (b) N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Volatility factor 63.0 % 53.0 % 63.0 % 30.0 % 32.6 % Expected term 2 years 3 years 1 year 3 years 3 years (a) Information shown for the valuation of the liability plan is as of the measurement date. (b) With respect to the EQT Incentive PSU Programs, dividends paid from the beginning of the performance period will be cumulatively added as additional shares of common stock. Restricted Stock Awards – Equity The Company granted 491,640 and 344,796 restricted stock equity awards during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, to key employees of the Company. In connection with the Separation from EQT, the Company assumed 157,000 restricted stock equity awards as of December 31, 2018 for employees of Equitrans Midstream and EQT. Adjusting for vesting and forfeitures, there were 841,068 awards outstanding as of December 31, 2020. The restricted stock granted will be fully vested at the end of the three-year period commencing with the vesting commencement date, assuming continued service through such date. As of December 31, 2020, $6.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock equity awards was expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average vesting term of approximately 1.56 years. A summary of restricted stock equity award activity as of December 31, 2020 and changes during the year then ended is presented below. Non-vested Shares (a) Weighted Average Fair Value Aggregate Fair Value Outstanding at January 1, 2020 397,117 $ 24.63 $ 9,779,218 Granted 491,640 13.36 6,568,310 Vested (28,375) 57.73 (1,638,044) Forfeited (19,314) 17.77 (343,138) Outstanding at December 31, 2020 841,068 $ 17.08 $ 14,366,346 (a) Non-vested shares outstanding at December 31, 2020 will be settled by the Company once vested, assuming continued service through such date. Restricted Stock Unit Awards – Liability The Company granted 455,619 and 271,233 restricted stock liability awards during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, to key employees of the Company. In connection with the Separation from EQT, the Company assumed 513,413 restricted stock unit liability awards as of December 31, 2018 for employees of Equitrans Midstream and EQT that will be paid in cash. Adjusting for vesting and forfeitures, there were 877,596 awards outstanding as of December 31, 2020. The restricted stock units granted will be fully vested at the end of the three-year period commencing with the vesting commencement date, assuming continued service through such date. The total liability recorded for these restricted units was $4.5 million and $4.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Value Driver Performance Share Unit Award Programs The 2017 EQT Value Driver Performance Share Unit Award Program (the 2017 EQT VDA) and the 2018 EQT Value Driver Performance Share Unit Award Program (the 2018 EQT VDA, and together with the 2017 EQT VDA, the EQT VDAs) were established by EQT to align the interests of key employees with those of EQT's shareholders and with the strategic objectives of EQT. Under the EQT VDAs, 50% of the awards confirmed vested upon payment following the first anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining 50% of the awards confirmed vested upon payment following the second anniversary of the grant date subject to continued service through such dates. Due to the graded vesting of each award under the EQT VDAs, the Company recognized compensation cost over the requisite service period for each separately vested tranche of the award as though each award was, in substance, multiple awards. The payments were contingent upon EQT's adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization performance as compared to EQT's annual business plan and individual, business unit and Company value driver performance over the respective one-year periods. The following table provides detailed information on each award: EQT VDPSU Program Settled In Accounting Treatment Fair Value per Unit (a) Vested/ Payment Date Cash Paid Unvested/ Expected Payment Date Awards Outstanding as of 2017 Cash Liability $ 20.02 February 2019 $ 3.3 N/A N/A 2018 Cash Liability $ 20.02 February 2019 $ 4.1 N/A N/A 2018 Cash Liability $ 13.36 February 2020 $ 2.3 N/A N/A (a) The fair value per unit is based on the Company's common stock price on the measurement date. Non-Qualified Stock Options In connection with the Separation, the Company assumed stock options related to EQT share-based compensation awards. The fair value of the Company's stock option grants was estimated at the dates of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Risk-free rates for periods within the contractual life of the option are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Dividend yields are based on the dividend yield of EQT's common stock at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of EQT's common stock. Expected term represents the period that options granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical option exercise experience. Stock options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2020 were 464,876. The weighted average exercise price of stock options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2020 was $38.55. There was no stock option activity during 2020. As of December 31, 2020, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding non-vested stock options. Phantom Units The Company grants, and prior to the EQM Merger the EQM General Partner granted, phantom unit awards to certain non-employee directors that serve or at the time of grant served on their respective boards. Director phantom units expected to be satisfied in Company common stock vest on the date of grant and are recorded based on the grant date fair value, which is determined based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day before the grant date. The value of director phantom units is paid in the applicable security upon the director's termination of service on the applicable board. Prior to the completion of the EQGP Buyout, EQGP's general partner granted phantom unit awards to certain non-employee directors of EQGP's general partner. Prior to the EQM-RMP Mergers, RMP's general partner granted phantom unit awards to certain non-employee directors of RMP's general partner. A total of 318,605 Equitrans Midstream non-employee director share-based awards including accrued dividends were outstanding as of December 31, 2020. A summary of phantom units activity for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is presented below.

See Note 2. (b) In connection with the closing of the EQM Merger, the non-employee directors of the EQM General Partner received the Merger Consideration for each EQM phantom unit that they held. See Note 2. (c) On July 23, 2018, in connection with the EQM-RMP Mergers, the 36,220 outstanding RMP phantom units fully vested and converted into 12,024 EQM common units based on the exchange ratio of 0.3319, less applicable tax withholding. See Note 2. 2021 Awards Effective in 2021, the Compensation Committee adopted the Equitrans Midstream Corporation 2021 Performance Share Unit Program (2021 PSU Program) under the 2018 Plan. The 2021 PSU Program was established to align the interests of key employees with the interests of shareholders and the strategic objectives of the Company. In February 2021, 2,413,690 units were granted under the 2021 PSU Program. The vesting of the units under the 2021 PSU Program will occur upon payment after the expiration of the Performance Period, which is January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023, assuming continued employment with the Company. The payout will vary between zero and 200% of the number of outstanding units contingent upon the level of total shareholder return relative to a predefined peer group during the Performance Period. If earned at the target payout level of 100%, 1,540,230 of the 2021 PSU Program units are expected to be distributed in Company common stock and 873,460 of the 2021 PSU Program units are expected to be paid in cash. In February 2021, 660,250 restricted stock equity and 374,830 restricted stock unit liability awards were granted. The restricted stock equity awards and restricted stock unit liability awards will be fully vested at the end of the three-year period commencing on January 1, 2021, assuming continued employment with the Company. Employee Savings Plan Prior to the Separation, the Company contributed to a defined contribution plan sponsored by EQT. The contribution amount was equal to a percentage of allocated base salary. During the period from January 1, 2018 through November 12, 2018, the Company was charged its contribution percentage through the EQT payroll and benefit costs. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and for the period from the Separation Date through December 31, 2018, the Company recognized expense related to its defined contribution plan of $8.1 million, $7.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. |

See Note 18 for discussion of the 2021 senior notes issuance. As of December 31, 2020, the combined aggregate amounts of maturities for long-term debt were as follows: zero in 2021, $1.4 billion in 2022, $1.1 billion in 2023, $0.5 billion in 2024, $0.7 billion in 2025 and $2.8 billion in 2026 and thereafter. See Note 18 for discussion of the prepayment and termination of the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement. Equitrans Midstream Term Loan Facility . In December 2018, Equitrans Midstream entered into a term loan credit agreement (as amended in May 2019, the ETRN Term Loan Credit Agreement) that provided for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $600 million (the ETRN Term Loans). The Company received net proceeds from the ETRN Term Loans of $568.1 million, inclusive of a discount of $18.0 million and estimated debt issuance costs of $13.9 million. The net proceeds were primarily used to fund the EQGP Buyout, including certain fees, costs and expenses in connection therewith, and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes. On March 3, 2020, EQM drew $650.0 million under the Amended EQM Credit Facility and transferred such funds to the Company, pursuant to a senior unsecured term loan agreement with the Company. The Company utilized a portion of such funds to pay off all of the amounts outstanding under the ETRN Term Loans and the ETRN Term Loan Credit Agreement was terminated. As a result, the Company wrote off $24.4 million of unamortized discount and financing costs related to the ETRN Term Loan Credit Agreement. The write off charge is included in the loss on early extinguishment of debt line on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. On September 29, 2020, the Company made a prepayment to EQM of all principal, interest, fees and other obligations outstanding under the senior unsecured term loan agreement and terminated the agreement. As of December 31, 2019, the current portion of the ETRN Term Loans was $6.0 million and was recorded in the current portion of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company had $594.0 million of borrowings outstanding and no letters of credit outstanding under the ETRN Term Loan Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2019. During the period from January 1, 2020 to March 3, 2020, the weighted average annual interest rate was approximately 6.2%. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the weighted average annual interest rate was approximately 6.8%. Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility. In October 2018, Equitrans Midstream entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility agreement that provided for $100 million in borrowing capacity (the Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility). Equitrans Midstream amended the Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility on December 31, 2018 to, among other things, permit the incurrence of the borrowings under the ETRN Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility, which was available for general corporate purposes and to fund ongoing working capital requirements, was terminated on March 3, 2020 in conjunction with the Company's termination of the ETRN Term Loan Credit Agreement (see above). As a result, the Company wrote off $0.5 million of unamortized financing costs related to the Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility. The write off charge is included in the loss on early extinguishment of debt line on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. The Company had no borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019 and during the period from January 1, 2020 to March 3, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the maximum outstanding borrowings under the Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility was $44 million, the average daily balance was approximately $3.2 million and the weighted average annual interest rate was 4.2%. Commitment fees paid to maintain credit availability under the Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility were approximately $0.1 million for the period from January 1, 2020 to March 3, 2020, and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. EQGP Working Capital Facility with EQT. Prior to the Separation, EQGP had a working capital loan agreement with EQT (the EQGP Working Capital Facility with EQT), through which EQT agreed to make interest-bearing loans available in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50 million outstanding at any one time. On November 12, 2018, EQGP repaid $3.2 million of borrowings outstanding under the facility, and EQT terminated the working capital loan agreement. During the period from January 1, 2018 through November 12, 2018, the maximum outstanding borrowings were $3.2 million, the average daily balance was approximately $0.2 million and the weighted average annual interest rate was 3.5%. Amended EQM Revolving Credit Facility and Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement. On October 31, 2018, EQM amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $1 billion to $3 billion and extend the term to October 2023 (the EQM Credit Facility). In August 2019, EQM entered into a term loan agreement (the 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement) that provided for unsecured term loans (the EQM Term Loans) in an aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion. Prior to its termination in January 2021 (see Note 18), the EQM Term Loans would have matured in August 2022. Additionally, on March 30, 2020, EQM entered into (i) an amendment to the EQM Credit Facility (as amended, the Amended EQM Credit Facility) and (ii) an amendment to the 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement (as amended, the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement) which, among other things, amended certain defined terms and negative covenants in the EQM Credit Facility and the 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement. The Amended EQM Credit Facility is available for general partnership purposes, including to purchase assets, to make investments, to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures and to pay distributions. Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the Amended EQM Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows EQM to increase the available borrowings under the facility by up to an additional $750 million. The Amended EQM Credit Facility has a sublimit of up to $250 million for same-day swing line advances and a sublimit of up to $400 million for letters of credit. In addition, EQM has the ability to request that one or more lenders make available term loans under the Amended EQM Credit Facility, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company’s obligations in respect of the revolving borrowings made under the Amended EQM Credit Facility are unsecured. As of December 31, 2020, no term loans were outstanding under the Amended EQM Credit Facility. Such term loans would be secured by cash, qualifying investment grade securities or a combination thereof. EQM’s debt issuer credit ratings determine the level of fees associated with the Amended EQM Credit Facility and the interest rate applicable to amounts borrowed thereunder. EQM's debt issuer credit ratings and level of fees and interest rates are inversely related. Under the terms of the Amended EQM Credit Facility, EQM can obtain committed loans as Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended EQM Credit Facility) or Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended EQM Credit Facility). Base Rate Loans are denominated in dollars and bear interest at a base rate plus a margin of 0.125% to 1.750% determined on the basis of a combination of EQM’s then-current debt issuer credit ratings by Moody’s Investor Service (Moody's), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) and Fitch Investor Services (Fitch). Eurodollar Rate Loans bear interest at a Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended EQM Credit Facility) plus a margin of 1.125% to 2.750% determined on the basis of a combination of EQM’s then-current debt issuer credit ratings with Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. EQM may voluntarily prepay its borrowings under the Amended EQM Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, but subject to reimbursement of funding losses with respect to certain prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Revolving amounts prepaid under the Amended EQM Credit Facility may be re-borrowed. As of December 31, 2020, EQM had approximately $485 million of borrowings and $246 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Amended EQM Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2019, EQM had approximately $610 million of borrowings and $1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Amended EQM Credit Facility. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the maximum outstanding borrowings were $2,040 million, $1,690 million and $674 million, respectively; the average daily balances were approximately $852 million, $846 million and $230 million, respectively; and the weighted average annual interest rates were 2.9%, 3.6% and 3.6%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, commitment fees of $7.2 million, $4.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, were paid to maintain credit availability under the Amended EQM Credit Facility. EQM received net proceeds from the issuance of the EQM Term Loans of $1,397.4 million, inclusive of debt issuance costs of $2.6 million. The net proceeds were primarily used to repay borrowings under the Amended EQM Credit Facility and the remainder was used for general partnership purposes. The Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement provided EQM with the right to request incremental term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $300 million, subject to, among other things, obtaining additional commitments from existing lenders or commitments from new lenders. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, EQM had $1.4 billion of borrowings outstanding under the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement for both periods. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the applicable portions of the year ended December 31, 2019, the weighted average annual interest rates were approximately 2.7% and 3.3%, respectively. EQM’s debt issuer credit ratings determined the level of fees associated with the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement and the interest rate applicable to amounts borrowed thereunder. EQM's debt issuer credit ratings and level of fees and interest rates were inversely related. Under the terms of the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement, EQM was able to obtain Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement) or Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement). Base Rate Loans were denominated in dollars and bore interest at a base rate plus a margin of 0.000% to 1.625% determined on the basis of a combination of EQM’s then-current debt issuer credit ratings with Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. Eurodollar Rate Loans bore interest at a Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement) plus a margin of 1.000% to 2.625% determined on the basis of a combination of EQM’s then-current debt issuer credit ratings with Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. EQM was able to voluntarily prepay its borrowings under the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, but subject to reimbursement of funding losses with respect to certain prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Amounts prepaid under the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement were not able to be reborrowed. The Amended EQM Credit Facility contains, and the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement contained, certain negative covenants, that, among other things, limit the ability of EQM and certain of its subsidiaries to incur or permit liens on assets, establish a maximum consolidated leverage ratio that varies over the course of the term ranging from not more than 5.75 to 1.00 to not more than 5.00 to 1.00 tested as of the end of each fiscal quarter (which in limited circumstances is increased for certain measurement periods following the consummation of certain acquisitions), limit transactions with affiliates, mergers and other fundamental changes, asset dispositions, the incurrence of new debt and entry into burdensome agreements, in each case and as applicable, subject to certain specified exceptions. EQM's consolidated leverage ratio is derived from a number of components, including the amount of projected Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in each facility) from certain approved projects, including the MVP project, that is available to be included in the consolidated leverage ratio calculation under this facility. The Amended EQM Credit Facility contains, and the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement contained, certain specified events of default, including, among others, failure to make certain payments (subject to specified grace periods in some cases), failure to observe covenants (subject to specified grace periods in some cases), cross-defaults to certain other material debt, certain specified insolvency or bankruptcy events and the occurrence of a change of control event, in each case, the occurrence of which would allow the lenders to accelerate EQM’s payment obligations under the Amended EQM Credit Facility, and would have allowed the lenders to accelerate EQM's payment obligations under the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement, as applicable. See Note 18 for discussion of the prepayment and termination of the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement. Eureka Credit Facility. Eureka Midstream, LLC (Eureka), a wholly owned subsidiary of Eureka Midstream, has a $400 million senior secured revolving credit facility that is available for general business purposes, including financing maintenance and expansion capital expenditures related to the Eureka system and providing working capital for Eureka’s operations (as amended, the Eureka Credit Facility). The Eureka Credit Facility matures on August 25, 2021. Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the Eureka Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows Eureka to increase the available borrowings under the facility to an amount no greater than $500 million of total commitments. Under the terms of the Eureka Credit Facility, Eureka can obtain base rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans. Base rate loans are denominated in dollars and bear interest at an adjusted base rate, which is equal to the highest of (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s prime rate, (ii) the one-month Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Eureka Credit Facility) plus 1.0% or (iii) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.5% per annum; plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Eureka Credit Facility). Eurodollar rate loans bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate per annum, which rate is to be determined by the administrative agent pursuant to a prescribed calculation based on the ICE Benchmark Administration LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin ranges from 0.75% to 2.00% in the case of base rate loans and from 1.75% to 3.00% in the case of Eurodollar rate loans, in each case, depending on Eureka's consolidated leverage ratio. The Eureka Credit Facility contains negative covenants that, among other things, limit restricted payments, the incurrence of debt, dispositions, mergers and fundamental changes, securities issuances and transactions with affiliates, in each case and as applicable, subject to certain specified exceptions. In addition, the Eureka Credit Facility contains certain specified events of default such as insolvency, nonpayment of scheduled principal or interest obligations, loss and failure to replace certain material contracts, change of control and cross-default related to the acceleration or default of certain other financial obligations. Under the Eureka Credit Facility, Eureka is required to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 4.75 to 1.00 (or not more than 5.25 to 1.00 for certain measurement periods following the consummation of certain acquisitions). If Eureka has issued senior notes of $200 million or more in the aggregate as of the end of any fiscal quarter, then for such fiscal quarter and for each fiscal quarter thereafter, Eureka is required to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 5.25 to 1.00 and will not permit the ratio of senior indebtedness to four-quarter Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Eureka Credit Facility) as of the end of any such quarter to exceed 3.50 to 1.00. Additionally, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, Eureka will not permit the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters then ending to consolidated interest charges to be less than 2.50 to 1.00. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Eureka Credit Facility provides Eureka with an equity cure right if it fails to abide by such financial covenants. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from April 10, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the maximum amount of outstanding borrowings under the Eureka Credit Facility at any time were approximately $323 million and $293 million, respectively, the average daily balances were approximately $301 million and $288 million, respectively, and Eureka incurred interest at weighted average annual interest rates of approximately 2.6% and 4.2%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from April 10, 2019 through December 31, 2019, commitment fees of $0.6 million and $0.4 million were paid to maintain credit availability under the credit facility, respectively. 2018 EQM Term Loan Facility. On April 25, 2018, EQM entered into a $2.5 billion unsecured multi-draw 364-day term loan facility (the 2018 EQM Term Loan Facility). The 2018 EQM Term Loan Facility was used to fund the cash consideration for the Drop-Down Transaction, to repay borrowings under EQM's then-existing revolving credit facility and for other general partnership purposes. In connection with EQM's issuance of the EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes (defined below), on June 25, 2018, the outstanding balance under the 2018 EQM Term Loan Facility was repaid and the 2018 EQM Term Loan Facility was terminated. As a result of the termination, EQM expensed $3 million of deferred issuance costs. Under the 2018 EQM Term Loan Facility, from April 25, 2018 through June 25, 2018, the maximum amount of EQM's outstanding borrowings was approximately $1,825 million and the average daily balance was approximately $1,231 million. EQM incurred interest at a weighted average annual interest rate of approximately 3.3% for the period from April 25, 2018 through June 25, 2018. RMP $850 Million Facility. Prior to the completion of the EQM-RMP Mergers, RM Operating LLC (formerly known as Rice Midstream OpCo LLC), a wholly owned subsidiary of RMP, had an $850 million senior secured credit facility (the RMP $850 Million Facility). The RMP $850 Million Facility was available for general partnership purposes, including to purchase assets, and to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures, pay distributions and repurchase units. The RMP $850 Million Facility was secured by mortgages and other security interests on substantially all of RMP's properties and was guaranteed by RMP and its restricted subsidiaries. For the period from January 1, 2018 through July 23, 2018, the maximum amount of RMP's outstanding borrowings under the RMP $850 Million Facility was $375 million, the average daily balance was approximately $300 million and the weighted average interest rate was 3.8%. In connection with the completion of the EQM-RMP Mergers, on July 23, 2018, EQM repaid the approximately $260 million of borrowings outstanding under the RMP $850 Million Facility and the facility was terminated. EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes. In June 2018, EQM issued 4.75% senior unsecured notes due July 2023 in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, 5.50% senior unsecured notes due July 2028 in the aggregate principal amount of $850 million and 6.50% senior unsecured notes due July 2048 in the aggregate principal amount of $550 million (collectively, the EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes). EQM received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $2,465.8 million, inclusive of a discount of approximately $11.8 million and debt issuance costs of approximately $22.4 million. The net proceeds were used to repay the outstanding balances under the 2018 EQM Term Loan Facility and the RMP $850 Million Facility, and the remainder was used for general partnership purposes. The EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes were issued pursuant to supplemental indentures to EQM's existing indenture dated August 1, 2014. The EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes supplemental indentures contain covenants that limit EQM's ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of EQM's assets. 2020 Senior Notes. During the second quarter of 2020, EQM issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of new 6.00% senior unsecured notes due July 1, 2025 and $900 million aggregate principal amount of new 6.50% senior unsecured notes due July 1, 2027 (collectively, the 2020 Senior Notes) and received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $1,576.1 million, inclusive of a discount of $20.0 million and debt issuance costs of $3.9 million. A portion of the net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the Amended EQM Credit Facility, and the remainder was used for general partnership purposes. The 2020 Senior Notes were issued under and are governed by an indenture, dated June 18, 2020 (the 2020 Indenture), between EQM and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2020 Indenture contains covenants that limit EQM's ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of EQM's assets. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the 2020 Indenture), EQM may be required to offer to purchase the 2020 Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Senior Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. The EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of EQM’s existing and future senior obligations. The EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes are senior in right of payment to any of EQM’s future obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes. The EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to EQM’s secured obligations, if any, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and obligations, including trade payables, of EQM’s subsidiaries, other than any subsidiaries that may guarantee the EQM $2.5 Billion Senior Notes and 2020 Senior Notes in the future. The 2020 Indenture contains certain events of default, including the following: (1) default in the payment of interest on such 2020 Senior Notes when due that continues for 30 days; (2) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any such 2020 Senior Notes when due, whether at its stated maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (3) failure by EQM or any subsidiary guarantor, if any, to comply for 90 days with the other agreements with respect to such 2020 Senior Notes contained in the 2020 Indenture after written notice by the trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2020 Senior Notes of such series; (4) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of EQM or any subsidiary guarantor, if any, that is one of EQM’s Significant Subsidiaries (as defined in the 2020 Indenture); and (5) if such 2020 Senior Notes are guaranteed by a subsidiary guarantor that is one of EQM’s Significant Subsidiaries, (a) the guarantee of that subsidiary guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect, except as otherwise provided in the 2020 Indenture; (b) the guarantee of that subsidiary guarantor is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding; or (c) that subsidiary guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the 2020 Indenture or its guarantee. If an event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to any of the 2020 Senior Notes, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2020 Senior Notes of such series may declare the 2020 Senior Notes of such series to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on such 2020 Senior Notes will be due and payable immediately. If an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs, all outstanding 2020 Senior Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice on the part of the trustee or any holders of the 2020 Senior Notes. See Note 18 for discussion of the 2021 senior note issuance, the prepayment and termination of the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement and the Tender Offers. As of December 31, 2020, EQM and Eureka were in compliance with all debt provisions and covenants. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis. The Company records derivative instruments at fair value on a gross basis in its consolidated balance sheets. The Henry Hub cash bonus payment provision, as described in Note 6, is recorded at its estimated fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Significant inputs used in the fair value measurement include NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures prices as of the date of valuation, risk-free interest rates based on U.S. Treasury rates, expected volatility of NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures prices and an estimated credit spread of EQT. The expected volatility of NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures prices used in the valuation methodology represents a significant unobservable input causing the Henry Hub cash bonus payment provision to be designated as a Level 3 fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Henry Hub cash bonus payment provision was $68.0 million, which was recorded in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized gains of $16.5 million representing the change in estimated fair value of the derivative instrument during the period. The gain is reflected in other income in the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Other Financial Instruments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts due to/from related parties and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments; as such, their fair values are Level 1 fair value measurements. The carrying values of borrowings under the Amended EQM Credit Facility, the Eureka Credit Facility and the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement (before its termination) approximate fair value as the interest rates are based on prevailing market rates; these are considered Level 1 fair value measurements. As EQM's borrowings under its senior notes are not actively traded, their fair values are estimated using an income approach model that applies a discount rate based on prevailing market rates for debt with similar remaining time-to-maturity and credit risk; as such, their fair values are Level 2 fair value measurements. See Note 11 for further information on the fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt. The fair value of the Preferred Interest is a Level 3 fair value measurement and is estimated using an income approach model that applies a market-based discount rate. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the estimated fair values of the Preferred Interest were approximately $127 million and $126 million, respectively, and the carrying values of the Preferred Interest were approximately $105 million and $110 million, respectively. |

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company excluded 5 (in thousands) of weighted average anti-dilutive securities related to stock-based compensation awards. See Note 10 for information on the Company's stock awards. Additionally, for the applicable periods, the Company excluded EQM’s anti-dilutive securities related to the EQM Series A Preferred Units. Preferred dividends include a $27.3 million premium recognized on the redemption of the EQM Series A Preferred Units as part of the Restructuring Closing during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company grants Equitrans Midstream phantom units to certain non-employee directors that will be paid in Equitrans Midstream common stock upon the director's termination of service on the Board. As there are no remaining service, performance or market conditions related to these awards, 288, 208 and 162 (in thousands) Equitrans Midstream phantom units were included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The following table summarizes income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 (Thousands) Current income tax expense: Federal $ — $ — $ 41,788 State 2,613 — 16,108 Total current income tax expense 2,613 — 57,896 Deferred income tax expense (benefit): Federal 81,206 30,975 96,499 State 21,512 19,729 (71,253) Total deferred income tax expense 102,718 50,704 25,246 Total income tax expense $ 105,331 $ 50,704 $ 83,142 The following table summarizes differences between income tax expense and amounts computed at the applicable federal statutory rate on pre-tax income for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 (Thousands) Income tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate $ 156,109 $ (2,993) $ 124,828 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — — 7,443 State income tax expense 19,058 15,587 21,827 Noncontrolling interests' share of earnings (45,132) (29,145) (61,505) Impairment of goodwill — 78,177 16,535 Rice Midstream Holdings income not subject to tax — — (26,538) Regulatory asset (369) (369) (368) AFUDC - equity (28,346) (14,127) (2,696) Other 4,011 3,574 3,616 Income tax expense $ 105,331 $ 50,704 $ 83,142 Effective tax rate 14.2 % (355.7) % 14.0 % For the year ended December 31, 2020, the effective tax rate was higher than the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily due to the impairment of goodwill (see Note 4) in 2019 and its impact on the loss before income before taxes and noncontrolling interest. The effective tax rate was lower for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the portion of goodwill for which there was no tax basis, partially offset by the impact of noncontrolling interest and AFUDC – equity. The net impact of the impairment of goodwill, including its impact to income tax expense at the statutory rate, state income tax expense, noncontrolling interests' share of earnings and impairment of goodwill was a reduction to income tax expense of approximately $43.0 million. The impact of AFUDC – equity increased for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to prior periods primarily as a result of increases in the Company's pro-rata share of the MVP Joint Venture's AFUDC on the construction of the MVP. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily due to the impairment of goodwill (see Note 4) in 2019 and its impact on the loss before income before taxes, state taxes and noncontrolling interest. The rate was also lower due to impact of AFUDC – equity, which increased for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily as a result of increases in the Company's pro-rata share of the MVP Joint Venture's AFUDC on the construction of the MVP in 2019 and the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2018, partially offset by the impact of Rice Midstream Holdings income not subject to tax in 2018. Prior to October 22, 2018, Rice Midstream Holdings was a multi-member limited liability company; therefore, the earnings of Rice Midstream Holdings and its subsidiaries were not subject to federal income tax. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Rice Midstream Holdings was merged out of existence as part of internal restructurings. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the effective tax rates were reduced from the federal and statutory rates because the Company does not record income tax expense for the applicable periods on the portions of its income attributable to the noncontrolling member of Eureka Midstream, did not record income tax expense on the portion of its income attributable to noncontrolling limited partners of EQM, EQGP and RMP for the periods prior to the closing of the EQM Merger, the EQGP Buyout and the EQM-RMP Mergers, respectively, and did not record income tax expense on the portion of its income attributable to Gulfport Midstream's 25% interest in Strike Force Midstream for the period prior to EQM’s acquisition of the remaining outstanding limited liability company interests in Strike Force Midstream on May 1, 2018. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating losses (NOL) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Congress enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax law, including lowering the federal corporate tax rate to 21% from 35% beginning January 1, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company completed its accounting for the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including accounting for the revaluation of net deferred tax assets and for state income tax effects, and recorded deferred income tax expense of $7.4 million. The Company also considered whether existing deferred tax assets will be recovered in future periods under this legislation and noted no significant effect to the realizability of the deferred tax assets. The following table summarizes the components of net deferred tax (liabilities) assets. December 31, 2020 2019 (Thousands) Total deferred income tax (liability) asset: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 54,925 $ 49,388 Investment in partnerships (379,432) 42,232 Deferred revenue (18,257) — Other (3,132) (1,023) Total net deferred income tax (liability) asset $ (345,896) $ 90,597 For the year ended December 31, 2020, the investment in partnerships deferred income tax liability changed $421.7 million compared to the corresponding deferred tax asset for year ended December 31, 2019 primarily due to the Company's change in ownership as a result of the EQM Merger, the Company’s share of tax depreciation on partnership assets in excess of book depreciation and amortization, and an increase in regulatory assets as a result of the Company's pro-rata share of the MVP’s AFUDC. The Company also recorded deferred taxes on the deferred revenue associated with the Rate Relief Shares (see Note 6). As of December 31, 2020, the Company has federal NOL of $41.4 million and state NOL of $13.5 million related to various state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had federal NOL of $39.0 million and state NOL of $10.4 million related to various state jurisdictions. The federal and states of Virginia and West Virginia NOL carryforwards have no expiration, but utilization is limited to 80% of taxable income in the year of utilization. The Company's Pennsylvania NOL carryforwards expire in 2038 and 2040 and utilization is limited to 40% of taxable income in the year of utilization. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain federal and state NOL carryforwards will be realized. No valuation allowances have been established because the Company believes that future sources of taxable income, reversing temporary differences and other tax planning strategies will be sufficient to realize these deferred tax assets. Any determination to change the valuation allowance would impact the Company's income tax expense in the period in which such a determination is made. The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 or 2018. The Company is not subject to federal or state income tax examination by tax authorities for years before 2017. |

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company is exposed to the credit risk of its customers, including EQT, its largest customer, other producers, natural gas marketers, distribution companies and other end users. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, EQT accounted for approximately 64%, 69% and 74%, respectively, of the Company's total revenues across all of the Company's operating segments. As of December 31, 2020, EQT had credit ratings of BB from S&P (with a stable outlook), Ba3 from Moody's (with a positive outlook) and BB from Fitch (with a positive outlook), each of which were considered non-investment grade. As of December 31, 2019, EQT's credit ratings with each of S&P, Moody's and Fitch were considered investment grade. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, EQT accounted for 68% and 69%, respectively, of the Company's accounts receivable balances, while various other natural gas marketers and producers accounted for the majority of the remaining accounts receivable balances. To manage the credit risk related to transactions with marketers, the Company engages with only those that meet specified criteria for credit and liquidity strength and actively monitors accounts with marketers. In connection with its assessment of marketer credit and liquidity strength, the Company may request a letter of credit, guarantee, performance bond or other credit enhancement. The Company did not experience significant defaults on accounts receivable during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. Gulfport Bankruptcy. On November 13, 2020, Gulfport commenced bankruptcy proceedings. On November 24, 2020, Gulfport moved to reject its gas gathering agreements with the Company and made certain related court filings, which motions the Company has opposed. The Company and Gulfport have entered into negotiations related to the contracts. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Gulfport accounted for approximately 9% of the Company’s operating revenues. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, various legal and regulatory claims and proceedings are pending or threatened against the Company and its subsidiaries. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, the Company is unable to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of such claims and proceedings. The Company accrues legal and other direct costs related to loss contingencies when incurred. The Company establishes reserves whenever it believes it to be appropriate for pending matters. Furthermore, after consultation with counsel and considering available insurance, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of any matter currently pending against it or any of its consolidated subsidiaries will not materially affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or ability to pay dividends to its shareholders. The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations, which are constantly changing, can require expenditures for remediation and, in certain instances, can result in assessment of fines. The Company has established procedures for the ongoing evaluation of its operations to identify potential environmental exposures and to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. The estimated costs associated with identified situations requiring remedial action are accrued; however, when recoverable through future regulated rates, certain of these costs are deferred as regulatory assets. Ongoing expenditures for compliance with environmental laws and regulations, including investments in facilities to meet environmental requirements, have not been material. Management believes that any such required expenditures will not be significantly different in either nature or amount in the future and does not know of any environmental liabilities that will have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or ability to pay dividends to the Company's shareholders. The Company has identified situations that require remedial action for which approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million is included in regulatory and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, legally binding and specify all significant terms, including the approximate timing of the transaction. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $10.3 million of purchase obligations, which included commitments for capital expenditures, operating expenses and service contracts.

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events 2021 Senior Notes. On January 8, 2021, EQM completed a private offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of new 4.50% senior notes due 2029 (the 2029 Notes) and $1,100 million aggregate principal amount of new 4.75% senior notes due 2031 (the 2031 Notes and, together with the 2029 Notes, the 2021 Senior Notes) and received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $1,876.5 million, inclusive of a discount of $19.0 million and estimated debt issuance costs of $4.5 million. The 2021 Senior Notes were issued under and are governed by an indenture, dated January 8, 2021 (the 2021 Indenture), between EQM and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2021 Indenture contains covenants that limit EQM’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of EQM’s assets. The 2029 Notes will mature on January 15, 2029 and interest on the 2029 Notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2021. The 2031 Notes will mature on January 15, 2031 and interest on the 2031 Notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2021. The 2021 Senior Notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of EQM’s existing and future senior obligations. The 2021 Senior Notes are senior in right of payment to any of EQM’s future obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2021 Senior Notes. The 2021 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to EQM’s secured obligations, if any, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations, and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and obligations, including trade payables, of EQM’s subsidiaries, other than any subsidiaries that may guarantee the 2021 Senior Notes in the future. EQM may, at its option, redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to their maturity at the applicable redemption price as set forth in the 2021 Indenture. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the 2021 Indenture), EQM may be required to offer to purchase the 2021 Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. The 2021 Indenture contains certain events of default, including the following: (1) default in the payment of interest on such 2021 Senior Notes when due that continues for 30 days; (2) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any such 2021 Senior Notes when due, whether at its stated maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (3) failure by EQM or any subsidiary guarantor, if any, to comply for 90 days with the other agreements with respect to such 2021 Senior Notes contained in the 2021 Indenture after written notice by the trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2021 Senior Notes of such series; (4) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of EQM or any subsidiary guarantor, if any, that is one of EQM’s Significant Subsidiaries (as defined in the 2021 Indenture); and (5) if such 2021 Senior Notes are guaranteed by a subsidiary guarantor that is one of EQM’s Significant Subsidiaries, (a) the guarantee of that subsidiary guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect, except as otherwise provided in the 2021 Indenture; (b) the guarantee of that subsidiary guarantor is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding; or (c) that subsidiary guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the 2021 Indenture or its guarantee. If an event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to any of the 2021 Senior Notes, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2021 Senior Notes of such series may declare the 2021 Senior Notes of such series to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on such 2021 Senior Notes will be due and payable immediately. If an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs, all outstanding 2021 Senior Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice on the part of the trustee or any holders of the 2021 Senior Notes. EQM used the net proceeds from the offering of the 2021 Senior Notes and cash on hand to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement, to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $500 million of its outstanding 4.750% notes due 2023 (2023 Notes) pursuant to tender offers for certain of EQM's outstanding indebtedness, which commenced on January 4, 2021, with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $500 million (such amount, the Aggregate Maximum Principal Amount, and such tender offers, the Tender Offers), and for general partnership purposes. Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement. On January 8, 2021, EQM (i) applied a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Senior Notes to prepay all principal, interest, fees and other obligations outstanding under the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement and (ii) terminated the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement and the loan documents associated therewith. EQM repaid outstanding loans with a principal amount of $1,400 million in connection with the termination of the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement. Prior to its termination, the Amended 2019 EQM Term Loan Agreement was scheduled to mature on August 16, 2022. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation For each of the periods prior to the Separation presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the consolidated financial statements and related notes include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Midstream Business that were transferred to Equitrans Midstream upon the closing of the Distribution and represent the predecessor for accounting purposes of Equitrans Midstream (the Predecessor). References in these financial statements to Equitrans Midstream or the Company refer collectively to Equitrans Midstream Corporation and, as applicable, its consolidated subsidiaries for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated. Predecessor financial information has been derived from EQT's consolidated financial statements and accounting records and reflects the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company as if the Midstream Business had been consolidated for all periods presented. The financial statements for the Predecessor period include expense allocations for certain corporate functions historically performed by EQT, such as executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, supply chain, information technology and share-based compensation. See Note 8. The Company believes the assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements are reasonable; however, as organizational structure and strategic focus dictate expenses incurred, the financial statements may not include all expenses that would have been incurred had the Company existed as a standalone, publicly traded company for the entirety of the Predecessor period. Similarly, the financial statements for the Predecessor period may not reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Company existed as a standalone, publicly traded corporation for the entirety of the period. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation. The Company, for the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements prior to November 12, 2018, did not exist as a standalone, publicly traded company holding the Midstream Business. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements are reflective of the Predecessor as applicable as described in "Basis of Presentation." The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all entities in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest. For consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the Company records noncontrolling interest related to the third-party ownership interests in those entities. Investments over which the Company can exert significant influence, but not control, are recorded under the equity method of accounting. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated for purposes of preparing these consolidated financial statements. Transactions between EQT, on the one hand, and the Company, EQGP or EQM, on the other hand, during the periods prior to the Separation Date, have been identified and presented as transactions between related parties and are discussed in Note 8. |
Segments | Segments. Operating segments are revenue-producing components of the enterprise for which separate financial information is produced internally and is subject to evaluation by the Company's chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources. The Company reports its operations in three segments that reflect its three lines of business of Gathering, Transmission and Water. The operating segments are evaluated based on their contribution to the Company's operating income and equity income. Transmission also includes the Company's investment in the MVP Joint Venture, which is treated as an equity investment for accounting purposes as described in Note 9; as a result, Transmission's portion of the MVP Joint Venture's operating results is reflected in equity income and not in Transmission's operating income. All of the Company's operating revenues, income and assets are generated or located in the United States. See Note 5 for financial information by segment. |
Reclassification | Reclassification: Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents. The Company classifies highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. Interest earned on cash equivalents is recorded as a reduction to net interest expense on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. |
Accounts Receivables | Accounts Receivables. Trade and other receivables are stated at their historical carrying amount. Judgment is required to assess the ultimate realization of accounts receivable, including assessing the probability of collection and the creditworthiness of customers. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments. Derivative instruments are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at each reporting date are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs and assumptions underlying the valuation techniques. This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs and consists of three broad levels: • Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date. • Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. These are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. Valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs are favored. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy. Reclassifications of fair value between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, if applicable, are made at the end of each quarter. See Note 12 for information regarding the fair value of financial instruments. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company's property, plant and equipment are stated at depreciated cost. Maintenance projects that do not increase the overall life of the related assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. The Company capitalized internal labor costs of $44.9 million, $47.6 million and $54.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company capitalized interest, including the debt component of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC), of $18.6 million, $29.5 million and $12.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table summarizes the Company's property, plant and equipment. December 31, 2020 2019 (Thousands) Gathering assets $ 6,691,954 $ 6,488,832 Accumulated depreciation (543,568) (472,286) Net gathering assets 6,148,386 6,016,546 Transmission and storage assets 1,877,753 1,844,859 Accumulated depreciation (370,764) (326,140) Net transmission and storage assets 1,506,989 1,518,719 Water services assets 251,885 238,808 Accumulated depreciation (90,841) (58,951) Net water services assets 161,044 179,857 Net other property, plant and equipment 11,477 8,845 Net property, plant and equipment $ 7,827,896 $ 7,723,967 Net other property, plant and equipment includes capitalized qualified implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract of $8.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company finalized the implementation of certain portions of its enterprise resource planning system in 2020 and amortized approximately $0.5 million of implementation costs in the year ended December 31, 2020. Depreciation is recorded using composite rates on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. The average depreciation rates for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were 2.5%, 2.7% and 2.7%, respectively. The Company estimates that gathering and transmission pipelines have useful lives of 20 years to 65 years and compression equipment has useful lives of 20 years to 50 years. The Company estimates that water pipelines, pumping stations and impoundment facilities have useful lives of 10 years to 15 years. As circumstances warrant, depreciation estimates are reviewed |
Intangible Assets and Impairment of Long-lived Assets | Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, which are calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate. On the Rice Merger Date, pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated June 19, 2017 by and among EQT, Rice Energy and a wholly owned subsidiary of EQT (EQT Merger Sub), Rice Energy became a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of EQT. At the Rice Merger Date, through pushdown accounting, the Company recorded $623.2 million of intangible assets associated with acquired customer relationships. The Company's intangible assets acquired in the Rice Merger have a useful life of 15 years and are amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated annual amortization expense for these assets for each of the next five years is $41.5 million. The Company did not have any intangible assets prior to the Rice Merger. As a result of the Bolt-on Acquisition (as defined and discussed in Note 3), the Company recognized an additional $311.0 million of intangible assets for customer relationships with third-party customers. The Company previously utilized a useful life of 20 years for the Eureka Midstream- and Hornet Midstream Holdings, LLC (Hornet Midstream)-related intangible assets. As a result of expected changes in cash flows due to decreases in producer activity driven by lower natural gas prices in periods subsequent to the Bolt-on Acquisition closing, as of April 1, 2020, the Company prospectively changed the remaining useful life of the Eureka Midstream-related intangible assets to 10.75 years, increasing the expected annual amortization expense by $9.1 million. In addition, as a result of then-expected reductions in future cash flows, as of October 1, 2019, the useful life of the Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets was prospectively changed to 7.25 years. The estimated annual amortization expense for the Eureka Midstream- and Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets for each of the next five years is $23.3 million. See Note 4 for discussion of impairments to intangible assets. Intangible assets, net as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, are detailed below. December 31, 2020 2019 (Thousands) Intangible assets $ 897,795 $ 934,200 Less: impairment of Hornet Midstream-related intangible assets (a) (17,654) (36,405) Less: accumulated amortization (163,551) (100,356) Intangible assets, net $ 716,590 $ 797,439 (a) See Note 4 for disclosure regarding impairments of long-lived assets. |
Goodwill | Goodwill and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company may perform either a qualitative assessment of potential impairment or proceed directly to a quantitative assessment of potential impairment. The Company's qualitative assessment of potential impairment may result in the determination that a quantitative impairment analysis is not necessary. Under this elective process, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads the Company to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is not required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, a quantitative impairment analysis is performed. If the Company chooses not to perform a qualitative assessment, or if it chooses to perform a qualitative assessment but is unable to qualitatively conclude that no impairment has occurred, then the Company will perform a quantitative assessment. In the case of a quantitative assessment, the Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit with which the goodwill is associated and compares it to the carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value. See Note 4 for further detail. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. With respect to property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangibles, asset recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group with its expected future pre-tax undiscounted cash flows. These cash flow estimates require the Company to make projections and assumptions for many years into the future for pricing, demand, competition, operating cost and other factors. If the carrying |
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities and Noncontrolling Interests | Investments in Unconsolidated Entities. The Company accounts for the investments in its unconsolidated entities under the equity method. The Company’s pro-rata share of earnings in the unconsolidated entities is included in equity income in the Company’s statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Contributions to or distributions from the unconsolidated entities and the Company’s pro-rata share of earnings in the unconsolidated entities are recorded as adjustments to the investment balance. The Company reviews the carrying value of its investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value may have declined in value. When there is evidence of loss in value that is other than temporary, the Company compares the investment's carrying value to its estimated fair value to determine whether impairment has occurred. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, the Company estimates and recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the investment's carrying value and fair value. See Notes 4 and 9 for further detail. Noncontrolling Interests . Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of the equity of consolidated entities that are not wholly owned by the Company. Noncontrolling interests are reported as a component of shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets and are adjusted by the amount of net income earned by the entities with noncontrolling interests, distributions paid to noncontrolling interest holders and any changes in the noncontrolling ownership percentages. Upon the closing of the EQM Merger on June 17, 2020, the Company's remaining noncontrolling interest consists of the third-party ownership interest in Eureka Midstream. |
Preferred Interest | Preferred Interest. EQT Energy Supply, LLC (EES), a subsidiary of EQT, generates revenue by providing services to a local distribution company. The preferred interest that the Company has in EES (the Preferred Interest) is accounted for as a note receivable and is presented in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets with the current portion reported in other current assets. Distributions received from EES are recorded partly as a reduction to the Preferred Interest and partly as interest income, which is included in net interest expense in the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income. The EES operating agreement provides for mandatory redemption of the Preferred Interest at the end of the preference period, which is expected to be December 31, 2034. |
Unamortized Debt Discount and Issuance Costs | Unamortized Debt Discount and Issuance Costs. The Company amortizes debt discounts and issuance costs over the term of the related borrowing. Costs incurred from the issuance and/or extension, as applicable, of revolving credit facilities, including borrowings under the Amended EQM Credit Facility and the Equitrans Midstream Credit Facility (each as defined in Note 11), are presented in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Debt discounts and issuance costs for all other debt instruments are presented as a reduction to debt on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 for further detail. |
Leases | Leases . Right-of-use assets represent the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception based on whether the Company has the right to control the use of an identified asset, the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset during the lease term and accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (ASC 842). |
Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs) | Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs). The Company has AROs related to its water system impoundments and to one of its gathering compressor stations, for which the Company recorded an associated liability and capitalized a corresponding amount to asset retirement costs. The liability relates to the expected future obligation to dismantle, reclaim and dispose of these assets and was estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows, adjusted for inflation and discounted at the Company's credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. The AROs are recorded in regulatory and other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. During 2020, the Company began the reclamation process for multiple water system impoundments. The ultimate completion of the reclamations is expected in late 2021 or early 2022. The following table presents changes in the Company's AROs during 2020 and 2019. December 31, 2020 2019 (Thousands) AROs at beginning of period $ 12,301 $ 11,935 Liabilities settled (724) — Revisions to estimated liabilities (a) — (201) Accretion expense 595 567 AROs at end of period $ 12,172 $ 12,301 (a) Revisions to estimated liabilities reflect changes in retirement cost assumptions and to the estimated timing of liability settlement. The Company is not legally or contractually obligated to restore or dismantle its transmission and storage systems and its gathering systems, other than the one aforementioned compressor station. The Company is legally required to operate and maintain these assets and intends to do so as long as supply and demand for natural gas exists, which the Company expects to continue into the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company did not have any AROs related to its transmission and storage and gathering (other than the aforementioned compressor station) assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
Contingencies | Contingencies. The Company is involved in various regulatory and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. A liability is recorded when the loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company considers many factors when making such assessments, including historical knowledge and matter specifics. Estimates are developed through consultation with legal counsel and analysis of the potential results. See Note 16. |
Regulatory Accounting | Regulatory Accounting. Equitrans, L.P. owns all of the Company's FERC-regulated transmission and storage operations as well as its FERC-regulated low-pressure gathering assets. Therefore, Equitrans, L.P. is subject to FERC regulation. Through the rate-setting process, rate regulation allows Equitrans, L.P. to recover the costs of providing regulated services plus an allowed return on invested capital. Regulatory accounting allows Equitrans, L.P. to defer expenses and income to its consolidated balance sheets as regulatory assets and liabilities when it is probable that those expenses and income will be allowed in the rate-setting process for a period other than the period that they would be reflected in a non-regulated entity's statements of consolidated comprehensive income. Regulatory assets and liabilities are recognized in the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income in the period that the underlying expenses and income are reflected in the rates charged to shippers and operators. Equitrans, L.P. expects to continue to be subject to rate regulation that will provide for the recovery of deferred costs. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition . Revenue is measured based on considerations specific in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue under gathering, transmission and storage and water services contracts when it satisfies certain performance obligations, as discussed below. The Company provides gathering, transmission and storage services in two manners: firm service and interruptible service. Firm service is provided under firm contracts, which are contracts for gathering, transmission or storage services that generally obligate the customer to pay a fixed, monthly charge to reserve an agreed upon amount of pipeline or storage capacity regardless of the capacity used by the customer during each month. Volumetric-based fees can also be charged under firm contracts for each firm volume transported, gathered or stored, as well as for volumes transported, gathered or stored in excess of the firm contracted volume, if capacity exists. Interruptible service contracts include volumetric-based fees, which are charges for the volume of gas gathered, transported or stored and generally do not guarantee access to the pipeline or storage facility. These contracts can be short- or long-term. Firm and interruptible transmission and storage service contracts are billed at the end of each calendar month, with payment typically due within 21 days. Firm and interruptible gathering contracts are billed on a one-month lag, with payment typically due within 21 days. Revenue related to gathering services provided but not yet billed is estimated each month. These estimates are generally based on contract data, preliminary throughput and allocation measurements. Under a firm contract, the Company has a stand-ready obligation to provide the service over the life of the contract. The performance obligation for firm reservation fee revenue is satisfied over time as the pipeline capacity is made available to the customer. As such, the Company recognizes firm reservation fee revenue evenly over the contract period using a time-elapsed output method to measure progress. The performance obligation for volumetric-based fee revenue is generally satisfied upon the Company's monthly billing to the customer for volumes gathered, transported or stored during the month. The amount billed generally corresponds directly to the value of the Company's performance to date as the customer obtains value as each volume is gathered, transported or stored. Water service revenues represent fees charged by the Company for the delivery of fresh water to a customer at a specified delivery point and for the collection and recycling or disposal of flowback and produced water. The Company's water service revenues are generated under firm service and interruptible service contracts, which primarily utilize variable prices per volume delivered. Firm service is provided under firm contracts, which provides water services to customers with priority. Interruptible service contracts generally do not guarantee access to the water facilities. For fresh water service contracts, the only performance obligation in each contract is for the Company to provide water (usually a minimum daily volume of water) to the customer at a designated delivery point. For flowback and produced water, the performance obligation is collection and disposal of the water, which typically occur within the same day. Water service contracts are billed on a monthly basis, with payment typically due within 30 days. For all contracts, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the judgment determined relative standalone selling price. When applicable, the excess of consideration received over revenue recognized results in the deferral of those amounts until future periods based on a units of production or straight-line methodology as these methods appropriately match the consumption of services provided to the customer. The units of production methodology requires the use of production estimates that are uncertain and the use of judgment when developing estimates of future production volumes, thus impacting the rate of revenue recognition. Production estimates are monitored as circumstances and events warrant. |
AFUDC | AFUDC. The Company capitalizes the carrying costs of financing the construction of certain long-lived, regulated assets. Such costs are amortized over the asset's estimated useful life and include interest costs (the debt component of AFUDC) and equity costs (the equity component of AFUDC). The debt component of AFUDC is recorded as a reduction to net interest expense on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income, and the equity component of AFUDC is recorded in other income on the statements of consolidated comprehensive income. |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of awards over the requisite service period. For awards accounted for as equity awards, compensation expense is recognized based on the estimated grant date fair value and not subsequently remeasured unless modified. For awards accounted for as liability awards, compensation expense is remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. For plans that include a performance condition that affects the number of awards that will ultimately vest, the probability that the performance condition will be achieved is reevaluated at the end of each reporting period and the payout multiplier is |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes. Beginning on the Separation Date and forward, the provision for income taxes was determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, the provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable (or received or receivable) plus the change in deferred taxes for the current year. In the period prior to the Separation Date, the Company's operations were included in the income tax return filings of EQT. For such period, the provision for income taxes in the Company's statements of consolidated comprehensive income was determined in the same manner described above, but on a separate return methodology as if the Company was a standalone taxpayer filing hypothetical income tax returns where applicable. Deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences of differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. Deferred tax balances are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when enacted. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets for net operating losses, credits or other attributes generated by the Company. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that a tax benefit will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all potential sources of taxable income, including income available in carry-back periods, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, projections of taxable income and income from tax planning strategies, as well as all available positive and negative evidence. Positive evidence includes factors such as a history of profitable operations, projections of future profitability within the carry-forward period, including from tax planning strategies, and experience. The Company has not identified any significant negative evidence for any of the periods presented. Deferred tax assets for which no valuation allowance is recorded may not be realized and changes in facts and circumstances may result in the establishment of a valuation allowance. Existing valuation allowances are re-examined under the same standards of positive and negative evidence that apply to valuation allowance establishment. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset for which a valuation is recorded will be realized, all or a portion of the valuation allowance may be released. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are also re-measured to reflect changes in underlying tax rates from law changes. Tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return are recorded when such benefits meet a more likely than not threshold; otherwise, the tax benefit is recorded when the tax position has been effectively settled, either because the statute of limitations has expired or the appropriate taxing authority has completed its examination. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as part of the provision for income taxes and are accrued beginning in the period that such interest and penalties would be applicable under relevant tax law until such time that the related tax benefits are recognized. See Note 14. |
Earnings Per Share (EPS) | Earnings Per Share (EPS). Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Equitrans Midstream common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Equitrans Midstream by the weighted average number of shares |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard amended guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, this standard eliminated the probable initial recognition threshold in then-current GAAP, and, in its place, requires an entity to recognize its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The amendments affected loans, debt securities, trade receivables, contract assets, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope of the standard that have the contractual right to receive cash. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update provides entities with targeted transition relief that is intended to increase comparability of financial statement information for some entities that otherwise would have measured similar financial instruments using different measurement methodologies. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The update clarifies and addresses stakeholders' specific issues in ASU 2016-13. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets recorded at amortized cost. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under Topic 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company's current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology considers risks of collection based on a customer’s current credit status. The standard requires an entity to assess whether financial assets share similar risk characteristics and, if so, group such assets in a pool. Customer balances are aggregated for evaluation based on their credit risk rating, which takes into account changes in economic factors that impact a customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Company's CECL methodology assigns a reserve, even if remote, to each customer based on credit risk. The table below summarizes the changes in the allowance for credit losses by outstanding receivable for the year ended December 31, 2020: Accounts Receivable Contract Asset (a) Other Assets (b) Total (thousands) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ (285) $ — $ — $ (285) Adoption of Topic 326 (2,708) — (1,010) (3,718) (Provision for) recovery of expected credit losses (1,706) (181) 81 (1,806) Balance at December 31, 2020 $ (4,699) $ (181) $ (929) $ (5,809) (a) Included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. (b) Includes the Company's Preferred Interest in EES and other long-term receivables. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , which makes a number of changes to the hierarchy associated with Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value measurements and the related disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance including the elimination of certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company early-adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2020 with no significant effect on its financial statements or related disclosures. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) , which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for the Amended EQM Credit Facility and the Eureka Credit Facility, as well as for each dividend following March 31, 2024 for the Equitrans Midstream Preferred Shares, which each use the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a reference rate. The ASU is effective immediately but is only available through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity , which simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU 2020-06 also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity , by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Adoption of the guidance must commence at the beginning of the annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial statements. |

Summary of Preliminary Purchase Price and Allocation of Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities | The following table summarizes the final purchase price and allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Bolt-on Acquisition as of April 10, 2019 by the Company, as well as certain measurement period adjustments made subsequent to the Company's initial valuation. (in thousands) Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation (As initially reported) Measurement Period Adjustments (a) Purchase Price Allocation (As adjusted) Consideration given: Cash consideration (b) $ 861,250 $ (11,404) $ 849,846 Buyout of portion of Eureka Midstream Class B units and incentive compensation 2,530 — 2,530 Total consideration 863,780 (11,404) 852,376 Fair value of liabilities assumed: Current liabilities 52,458 (9,857) 42,601 Long-term debt 300,825 — 300,825 Other long-term liabilities 10,203 — 10,203 Amount attributable to liabilities assumed 363,486 (9,857) 353,629 Fair value of assets acquired: Cash 15,145 — 15,145 Accounts receivable 16,817 — 16,817 Inventory 12,991 (26) 12,965 Other current assets 882 — 882 Net property, plant and equipment 1,222,284 (8,906) 1,213,378 Intangible assets (c) 317,000 (6,000) 311,000 Deferred tax asset 5,773 (5,268) 505 Other assets 14,567 — 14,567 Amount attributable to assets acquired 1,605,459 (20,200) 1,585,259 Noncontrolling interests (486,062) 7,602 (478,460) Goodwill as of April 10, 2019 $ 107,869 $ (8,663) $ 99,206 Impairment of goodwill (d) (99,206) Goodwill as of December 31, 2020 $ — (a) The Company recorded measurement period adjustments to its preliminary acquisition date fair values due to the refinement of its valuation models, assumptions and inputs. The measurement period adjustments were based upon information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized at that date. (b) The cash consideration for the Bolt-on Acquisition was adjusted by approximately $11.4 million related to working capital adjustments and the release of all escrowed indemnification funds to the Company. (c) After considering the refinements to the valuation models, the Company estimated the fair value of the customer-related intangible assets acquired as part of the Bolt-on Acquisition to be $311.0 million. As a result, the fair value of the customer-related intangible assets was decreased by $6.0 million on September 30, 2019 with a corresponding increase to goodwill. In addition, the change to the provisional amount resulted in a decrease in amortization expense and accumulated amortization of approximately $0.4 million. (d) During the third quarter of 2019, the Company identified impairment indicators that suggested the fair value of its goodwill was more likely than not below its carrying amount. As such, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment, which resulted in the Company recognizing impairment to goodwill of approximately $268.1 million, of which $99.2 million was associated with its Eureka/Hornet reporting unit, bringing the reporting unit's goodwill balance to zero. See Note 4 for further detail. |
