Investor Presentaiton
ADVISORY REGARDING OIL & GAS INFORMATION
All Encana reserves and economic contingent resources estimates in this presentation are effective as of December 31, 2017, prepared by qualified reserves evaluators in accordance with procedures and standards contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation
("COGE") Handbook, National Instrument 51-101 (NI 51-101) and SEC regulations, as applicable. On August 14, 2017, Encana was granted an exemption by the Canadian Securities Administrators from the requirements under NI 51-101 that each qualified reserves
evaluator or qualified reserves auditor appointed under section 3.2 of NI 51-101 and who execute the report under Item 2 of Section 2 of NI 51-101 be independent of Encana. Notwithstanding this exemption, for year-ended December 31, 2017, Encana involved
independent qualified reserves auditors to audit a portion of the Company's reserves and economic contingent resources estimates. Detailed Canadian and U.S. protocol disclosure will be contained in the Form 51-101F1 and Annual Report on Form 10-K,
respectively. Additional detail regarding Encana's economic contingent resources disclosure will be available in the Supplemental Disclosure Document filed concurrently with the Form 51-101F1. Information on the forecast prices and costs used in preparing the
Canadian protocol estimates will be contained in the Form 51-101F1. For additional information relating to risks associated with the estimates of reserves and resources, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Information relating to Newfield
oil and gas information, including locations, IP rates, estimated ultimate recovery, well performance metrics and estimated resources is based on information provided by Newfield or Newfield's public filings.
Reserves are the estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date forward, based on: analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data, the use of
established technology, and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Proved reserves are those reserves which can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining
quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than
the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. Contingent resources do not constitute, and should not be confused with, reserves. Contingent resources are defined as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially
recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. There is uncertainty that it will be commercially viable
to produce any portion of the resources. All of the resources classified as contingent are considered to be discovered, and as such have been assigned a 100% chance of discovery, but have however been risked for the chance of development. The chance of
development is defined as the likelihood of a project being commercially viable and development proceeding in a timely fashion. Determining the chance of development requires taking into consideration each contingency and quantifying the risks into an overall
development risk factor at a project level. Contingent resources are defined as "economic contingent resources" if they are currently economically recoverable and are categorized as economic if those contingent resources have a positive net present value under
currently forecasted prices and costs. In examining economic viability, the same fiscal conditions have been applied as in the estimation of Encana's reserves. Contingencies include factors such as required corporate or third party (such as joint venture partners)
approvals, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of infrastructure or markets. None of Encana's estimated contingent resources are subject to technical contingencies.
Encana uses the terms play, resource play, total petroleum initially-in-place ("PIIP"), natural gas-in-place ("NGIP"), and crude oil-in-place ("COIP"). Play encompasses resource plays, geological formations and conventional plays. Resource play describes an
accumulation of hydrocarbons known to exist over a large areal expanse and/or thick vertical section, which when compared to a conventional play, typically has a lower geological and/or commercial development risk and lower average decline rate. PIIP is defined
by the Society of Petroleum Engineers - Petroleum Resources Management System ("SPE-PRMS") as that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a
given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered (equivalent to "total resource potential"). NGIP and COIP are defined in the same manner, with the substitution of "natural
gas" and "crude oil" where appropriate for the word "petroleum". As used by Encana, estimated ultimate recovery ("EUR"), which Encana may refer to as recoverable resource potential, has the meaning set out jointly by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and
World Petroleum Congress in the year 2000, being those quantities of petroleum which are estimated, on a given date, to be potentially recoverable from an accumulation, plus those quantities already produced therefrom.
Encana has provided information with respect to its assets which are "analogous information" as defined in NI 51-101, including estimates of PIIP, NGIP, COIP, EUR and production type curves. This analogous information is presented on a basin, sub-basin or area
basis utilizing data derived from Encana's internal sources, as well as from a variety of publicly available information sources which are predominantly independent in nature. Production type curves are based on a methodology of analog, empirical and theoretical
assessments and workflow with consideration of the specific asset, and as depicted in this presentation, is representative of Encana's current program, including relative to current performance, but are not necessarily indicative of ultimate recovery. Some of this
data may not have been prepared by qualified reserves evaluators, may have been prepared based on internal estimates, and the preparation of any estimates may not be in strict accordance with COGEH. Estimates by engineering and geo-technical practitioners
may vary and the differences may be significant. Encana believes that the provision of this analogous information is relevant to Encana's oil and gas activities, given its acreage position and operations (either ongoing or planned) in the areas in question, and such
information has been updated as of the date hereof unless otherwise specified. Due to the early life nature of the various emerging plays discussed in this presentation, PIIP is the most relevant specific assignable category of estimated resources. There is no certainty
that any portion of the resources will be discovered. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the estimated PIIP, NGIP, COIP or EUR. Estimates of Encana potential gross inventory locations (not including locations of Newfield
Exploration Company), including premium return well inventory, include proved undeveloped reserves, probable undeveloped reserves, un-risked 2C contingent resources and unbooked inventory locations. Approximately 40 percent of such locations are booked as
of December 31, 2017 and are in respect of gross locations that have been categorized as either reserves or contingent resources, including 744 proved undeveloped locations, 1,399 probable undeveloped locations and 6,857 un-risked 2C contingent resource
locations (in the development pending, development on-hold or development unclarified project maturity sub-classes). Unbooked locations have not been classified as either reserves or resources and are internal estimates that have been identified by management
as an estimation of Encana's multi-year potential drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production, resource and acreage information. There is no certainty that Encana will drill all unbooked locations and if drilled there is
no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The locations on which Encana will actually drill wells, including the number and timing thereof is ultimately dependent upon the availability of capital, regulatory
and partner approvals, seasonal restrictions, equipment and personnel, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained, production rate recovery, transportation constraints and other factors. While certain of
the unbooked locations may have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such locations, many of other unbooked locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less information about the characteristics of the
reservoir and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional proved or probable reserves, resources or production. 30-day IP and other short-term rates
are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. The conversion of natural gas volumes to barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") is on the basis of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel. BOE is based on a generic energy equivalency
conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent economic value equivalency at the wellhead. Readers are cautioned that BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
