Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Financial Information by Business Segment
Financial Information by Business Segment
 
Prior to the Rice Merger, the Company reported its results of operations through three business segments: EQT Production, EQT Gathering and EQT Transmission. These reporting segments reflected the Company's lines of business and were reported in the same manner in which the Company evaluated its operating performance through September 30, 2017. Following the Rice Merger, the Company adjusted its internal reporting structure to incorporate the newly acquired assets. The Company conducted its business through five business segments: EQT Production, EQM Gathering (formerly known as EQT Gathering), EQM Transmission (formerly known as EQT Transmission), RMP Gathering and RMP Water. On July 23, 2018, pursuant to the Midstream Merger Agreement, RMP and the RMP General Partner each became wholly owned subsidiaries of EQM as a result of the Midstream Mergers. The Company now conducts its business through four business segments: EQT Production, EQM Gathering, EQM Transmission and EQM Water.
Rice Olympus, Strike Force Holdings and Rice West Virginia were businesses and the Drop-Down Transaction was a transaction between entities under common control; therefore, EQM recorded the assets and liabilities of these entities at their carrying amounts to EQT on the effective date of the transaction. EQM also recast its consolidated financial statements to retrospectively reflect the pre-acquisition results as if the entities were owned by EQM from the date of the Rice Merger, November 13, 2017, as that is the date those entities came under the common control of EQT.
In addition, the assets associated with the investment in the MVP Joint Venture were included within the headquarters segment assets balance prior to June 30, 2018. The investment in the MVP Joint Venture is now included in the transmission segment as this segment classification better aligns with the ultimate operations of the MVP. Segment asset balances at December 31, 2017 have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.
