On May 15, 2015, in connection with the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering of the Common Units (the IPO), the following transactions occurred: (i) 100% of the outstanding limited partner interests of the Issuer were recapitalized into an aggregate of 266,165,000 Common Units of which 265,899,000 Common Units were issued to Gathering Holdings and 266,000 Common Units were issued to GP Corporation, in accordance with the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer, dated May 15, 2015 (the Partnership Agreement); and (ii) Gathering Holdings sold 26,450,000 Common Units to the underwriters in the IPO pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated May 11, 2015, among Gathering Holdings, the Issuer, the General Partner and Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the Underwriting Agreement).

The foregoing descriptions of the Partnership Agreement and Underwriting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on May 15, 2015, and the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 15, 2015, which exhibits are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.

Item 4.                                                         Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Units reported herein solely for investment purposes.  The Reporting Persons may acquire additional Common Units from the Issuer or third parties in the open market or in private transactions, in connection with future issuances of its Common Units or otherwise, depending on the Reporting Persons’ business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Common Units, general economic conditions, stock market conditions and other future developments.

8

The following describes plans or proposals that the Reporting Persons may have with respect to the matters set forth in Item 4(a)—(j) of Schedule 13D:

(a)                                 The Issuer may grant performance awards, restricted units, phantom units, unit options, unit appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights and other unit based awards to employees and non-employee directors of the General Partner and any of its affiliates pursuant to the EQT GP Services, LLC 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2015 LTIP) adopted by the General Partner. The General Partner may acquire Common Units for issuance pursuant to the 2015 LTIP on the open market, directly from the Issuer, from any other person, or any combination of the foregoing.

(b)                                 None.

(c)                                  None.

(d)                                 EQT, as indirect owner of the General Partner, intends to increase the size of the board of directors of the General Partner to seven members and appoint two additional independent directors to fill such vacancies within one year from the effective date of the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-202053).  The General Partner has sole responsibility for conducting the Issuer’s business and for managing its operations and is ultimately controlled by EQT.  All five of the Issuer’s directors as of the date hereof are affiliated with EQT.  Neither the General Partner nor its board of directors will be elected by the Issuer’s unitholders.  EQT will have the ability to elect all the members of the board of directors of the General Partner through its control of Investments Holdings, EPC and Gathering Holdings, which it controls because each of Investments Holdings, EPC and Gathering Holdings are wholly owned subsidiaries of EQT.

(e)                                  The Reporting Persons, as direct and indirect owners of the General Partner of the Issuer, may cause the Issuer to change its dividend policy or its capitalization, through the issuance of debt or equity securities, from time to time in the future. The Reporting Persons, however, have no current intention of materially changing the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer.

(f)                                   None.

(g)                                  None.

(h)                                 None.

(i)                                     None.

(j)                                    Except as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have, as of the date hereof, any other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (i) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons may change their plans or proposals in the future.  In determining from time to time whether to sell the Common Units reported as beneficially owned in this Schedule 13D (and in what amounts) or to retain such securities, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including the business and prospects of the Issuer, anticipated future developments concerning the Issuer, existing and anticipated market conditions from time

to time, general economic conditions, regulatory matters, and other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons.  The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their holdings of securities of the Issuer or to change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.

Item 5.                                                         Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Gathering Holdings is the record and beneficial owner of 239,449,000 Common Units, which represent approximately 90.0% of the outstanding Common Units of the Issuer, and, through its sole ownership of GP Corporation, Gathering Holdings beneficially owns an additional 266,000 Common Units, which represent approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Common Units of the Issuer.

(2)                             EPC does not directly own any Common Units of the Issuer; however, as the sole member of Gathering Holdings, it may be deemed to beneficially own the 239,715,000 Common Units beneficially owned by Gathering Holdings, which represent approximately 90.1% of the outstanding Common Units of the Issuer.

(3)                                 Investments Holdings does not directly own any Common Units of the Issuer; however, as the sole stockholder of EPC and indirect owner of Gathering Holdings, it may be deemed to beneficially own the 239,715,000 Common Units beneficially owned by Gathering Holdings, which represent approximately 90.1% of the outstanding Common Units of the Issuer.

(4)                                 EQT does not directly own any Common Units of the Issuer; however, as the sole member of Investments Holdings and indirect owner of Gathering Holdings, it may be deemed to beneficially own the 239,715,000 Common Units beneficially owned by Gathering Holdings, which represent approximately 90.1% of the outstanding Common Units of the Issuer.

(5)                                 In addition, as of the date hereof, certain of the Covered Individuals beneficially own the number and percentage of Common Units set forth in the following table:

10

*                                         Less than 1% of the class beneficially owned.

(1)                                 Includes 1,710 phantom units granted under the 2015 LTIP, which have the economic equivalent of 1,710 Common Units and represent compensation that is deferred until retirement.

(b)                                 The information set forth in Items 7 through 11 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated herein by reference. To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, each of the Covered Individuals listed in the table in Item 5(a) has sole voting power and dispositive power with respect to all of the Common Units reported for him or her in the table in Item 5(a).

(c)                                  Except as described below, in Item 3 above or elsewhere in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the Covered Individuals, has effected any transactions in the Common Units during the past 60 days.

On or about May 12, 2015, James E. Rohr purchased 1,099 Common Units in an open market transaction facilitated by his broker at a weighted average purchase price of $32.50 per Common Unit.

On May 15, 2015, in connection with the IPO, each of the Covered Persons listed in the table in Item 5(a) purchased Common Units through the Issuer’s Directed Unit Program at the price to the public in the IPO of $27.00 per Common Unit.

(d)                                 GP Corporation has the right to receive distributions from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the 266,000 Common Units for which it is the registered holder.  The Reporting Persons also have the right to receive distributions from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the respective Common Units reported by such persons on the cover page of this Schedule 13D and in this Item 5. Except for the foregoing and the cash distributions described in Item 6 below, no other person is known by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of distributions from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons or, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the Covered Individuals.

(e)                                  Not applicable.

Item 6.                                                         Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information provided or incorporated by reference in Item 3 and Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Issuer’s Partnership Agreement

The General Partner, as the sole general partner of the Issuer, Gathering Holdings, as a limited partner of the Issuer, and all other limited partners of the Issuer, are party to the Partnership Agreement.

Cash Distributions

The Partnership Agreement requires that, within 55 days after the end of each quarter, the Issuer distribute all of its available cash after establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses, including payments to the General Partner and its affiliates (available cash). The Issuer’s ability to pay distributions of available cash is subject to various restrictions and other factors. The Issuer will pay a prorated cash distribution for the first quarter that it is a publicly traded partnership.

The Partnership Agreement requires that the Issuer distribute all of its available cash to its partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).

Issuance of Additional Units

The Partnership Agreement authorizes the Issuer to issue an unlimited number of units, including Common Units, on the terms determined by the General Partner without unitholder approval.

Limited Voting Rights

The General Partner controls the Issuer and the unitholders have only limited voting rights. Unitholders have no rights to elect the General Partner or its directors. The General Partner may not be removed, except by a vote of the holders of at least 80% of the Issuer’s units, including units owned by the General Partner and its affiliates. The ownership of more than 20% of the Issuer’s outstanding units by the General Partner and its affiliates gives them the practical ability to prevent the General Partner’s involuntary removal.

Limited Call Right

If at any time the General Partner and its affiliates own more than 95% of the outstanding Common Units or more than 80% of any other class of limited partner interests of the Issuer then outstanding, the General Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the remaining limited partner interests of the applicable class, including Common Units, at a price not less than the then-current market price of such limited partner interests as calculated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

12

Registration Rights

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws any Common Units or other partnership interests (other than the general partner interest) proposed to be sold by the General Partner or any of its affiliates or their assignees if an exemption from the registration requirements is not otherwise available. These registration rights continue for two years following the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner. The Issuer is obligated to pay all expenses incidental to the registration, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.

References to, and descriptions of, the Partnership Agreement of the Issuer as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement.

The General Partner’s Limited Liability Company Agreement

Gathering Holdings, as the sole member of the General Partner, has the right to elect the members of the board of directors of the General Partner pursuant to the terms of the General Partner’s limited liability company agreement.

References to, and descriptions of, the General Partner’s limited liability company agreement as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the General Partner filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 15, 2015, which exhibit is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 6.

Lockup Agreements

Each of David L. Porges, Philip P. Conti, Lewis B. Gardner, Steven T. Schlotterbeck, Stephen A. Thorington, Theresa Z. Bone and Gathering Holdings agreed with the underwriters in the IPO that for a period of 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, they would not, without the prior written consent of Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Units or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Units, or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Units, whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.  Additionally, all other Covered Individuals purchasing Common Units in the Issuer’s Directed Unit Program agreed with the underwriters in the IPO that for a period of 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, they would not sell, transfer or pledge any such Common Units.

To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
