　　EQT to Scoop Up Smaller Shale Rival's Assets for $3B

　　EQT Corp., the largest US natural gas producer, says it will scoop up the assets of smaller rival Alta Resources Development LLC for $2.9B in cash and stock. The deal puts the Pittsburgh gas producer in a new spot in the northeastern Marcellus shale, another expansion of the company's growing footprint in the Appalachian basin. It's paying $1B in cash and issuing about $1.9B in shares. Alta's 300,000 net acres produce about 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. EQT is also buying 300 miles of gathering pipelines, which move gas from wells to processing plants or transmission pipelines, among other assets.
