 true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent to complete and execute
 such Forms 144, Forms 3, 4 and 5, Schedules 13D and 13G and other

attorney shall deem appropriate.  The undersigned hereby ratifies
and confirms all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents shall do or

Following the Merger, Equitable will transfer to New EQT all of the

associated with Equitable?s existing Equitable Gas Company division

hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the Asset/Liability Transfer,
the reference in the first paragraph to Equitable Resources, Inc.
shall be deemed to be a reference to New EQT and this Limited Power of
Attorney shall remain in full force and effect, unless earlier revoked
by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact.

This Limited Power of Attorney is executed at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
