State of Utah | ENERGY SECTOR RISK PROFILE
• As of 2018, Utah had: – 3,067 miles of natural gas transmission pipelines
– 18,563 miles of natural gas distribution pipelines
• 19% of Utah’s natural gas transmission system and 13% of the distribution system were constructed prior to 1970 or in an unknown year.
• Between 1984 and 2019, Utah’s natural gas supply was most impacted by:
– Natural Forces when transported by transmission pipelines (2nd leading cause nationwide at $25.17M per year)
– Outside Forces when transported by distribution pipelines (leading cause nationwide at $76.59M per year)
Natural Gas Transport
• Utah has 8 natural gas processing facilities with a total capacity of 1,622 MMcf/d.
• Utah has 0 liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities.

Petroleum Refineries
• As of 2018, Utah had: – 600 miles of crude oil pipelines – 719 miles of refined product pipelines – 0 miles of biofuels pipelines
• 57% of Utah’s petroleum pipeline systems were constructed prior to 1970 or in an unknown year.
• Between 1986 and 2019, Utah’s petroleum supply was most impacted by:
– Outside Forces when transported by truck (2nd leading cause nationwide at $60.45M per year)
– Miscellaneous or Unknown events when transported by rail (3rd leading cause nationwide at $6.11M per year)
– Outside Forces when transported by crude pipelines (4th leading cause nationwide at $8.71M per year)
– Corrosion when transported by product pipelines (2nd leading cause nationwide at $15.2M per year)
• Disruptions in other states may impact supply.
