EQT - Corp. plans to put more emphasis on exploring the deep Utica shale as continued low gas prices push the Downtown producer to focus on only the best spots for drilling and pipeline development. "The focus in 2016 will be on this more narrowly drawn notion of what the core Marcellus would be assuming the deep Utica play works," CEO David Porges told analysts Thursday while discussing third quarter financial results that were hurt by a 42 percent drop in realized prices from a year ago.

Natural gas prices plunged Monday to their lowest level in more than three years on concerns that the market will remain oversupplied this winter. Adding to investors' fears, some companies are hinting at a new production boom.

Some industry experts say the Utica Shale, which stretches into Ohio and also lies underneath the Marcellus in some places, could be just as bountiful.

But when asked by analysts on a third-quarter earnings call about the report, executives declined to comment.

Even this summer, some thought weakening shale gas production foretold higher prices, ignoring the continuing surge of gas in storage.
