Enbridge Gas Utah Drilling Pilot Program Application

The Utah Public Service Commission (PUC) is reviewing an application from Enbridge Gas Utah for approval of a Wexpro horizontal drilling pilot program. The application, filed on February 27, 2026, includes verified application documents, direct testimony from company representatives, and various exhibits detailing qualifications, cost scenarios, and maps of the proposed development areas. The PUC has also issued a scheduling order, notice of a technical conference, and a notice of hearing, with an action request due March 27, 2026.

Regulated entities, particularly those in the energy sector operating within Utah, should monitor this docket for potential implications on drilling practices and environmental standards. While no specific compliance deadlines for external parties are listed beyond the March 27, 2026 action request deadline for involved parties, the approval of this pilot program could set precedents for future drilling initiatives. Compliance officers should review the submitted testimony and exhibits to understand the technical and economic justifications for the proposed program.
