operations, certain statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements or information within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, collectively referred to herein as
“forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements in this presentation include, but are not limited to: projections contained in the 2012 Corporate Guidance (including but not limited to
estimates of cash flow, including per share amounts, natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) production, capital investment and its allocation, net divestitures, operating costs, and estimated
2012 sensitivities of cash flow and operating earnings); projections for 2013 (including but not limited to capital investment, net divestitures, net capital investment, natural gas, oil and NGLs and total
liquids production, cash flow, net debt, and cash balance as of year-end); 2012 projected net debt and cash balance as of year-end; projection for long-term natural gas prices to reflect marginal
supply cost; achieving a more balanced portfolio of production and cashflow; projected number of wells to be drilled in 2012 and their distribution among the Company’s plays; projected percentage
shift of capital investments to liquids rich plays from 2012 to 2013 and expected cash flow contribution from liquids production by 2013; the flexibility of capital spending plans and the sources of
funding therefore; the ability to maintain investment grade credit rating; ability to attract new joint venture capital and implement existing joint ventures; projection to maintain current level of dividends;
the effect of the Company's risk management program, including the impact of commodity price hedges in 2012 and 2013; projections, estimates and future plans and strategies for the Canadian and
USA Divisions, various properties, plays basins and other assets, including liquids content and production growth for 2012-2013, PIIP, COIP, NGIP and EUR, target well cost, drilling, completion and
tie-in (“DCT”) costs, operating cost, transportation cost, drilling plans and well inventories, reductions in supply costs and estimates of reserves and economic contingent resources; forecast date of
first natural gas production for Deep Panuke; projected coal to gas displacement for 2012 to 2013; expected coal unit retirements by 2025 and expected increase in potential natural gas demand;
expected increase in natural gas demand from transportation; projected North American LNG export opportunity up to 2020, including from Kitimat LNG Project; short-, medium- and long-term
projected increase in natural gas demand from various sectors; projected North American natural gas production from 2012 to 2013, including by product types; projected future North American
natural gas prices; projected U.S. and Western Canadian ethane and propane supply and demand up to 2017; and expectations for NGLs' prices, supply and demand in the future.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By
their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions,
forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause the Company’s actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any
estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These assumptions, risks and uncertainties include, among other things: volatility
of, and assumptions regarding natural gas and liquids prices, including substantial or extended decline of the same and their adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition and
the value and amount of its reserves; assumptions based upon the Company’s current guidance; fluctuations in currency and interest rates; risk that the Company may not conclude divestitures of
certain assets or other transactions (including third-party capital investments, farmouts or partnerships, which Encana may refer to from time to time as “partnerships” or “joint ventures”, regardless of
the legal form) as a result of various conditions not being met; product supply and demand; market competition; risks inherent in the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ marketing operations, including
credit risks; imprecision of reserves estimates and estimates of recoverable quantities of natural gas and liquids from resource plays and other sources not currently classified as proved, probable or
possible reserves or economic contingent resources, including future net revenue estimates; marketing margins; potential disruption or unexpected technical difficulties in developing new facilities;
unexpected cost increases or technical difficulties in constructing or modifying processing facilities; risks associated with technology; the Company’s ability to acquire or find additional reserves;
hedging activities resulting in realized and unrealized losses; business interruption and casualty losses; risk of the Company not operating all of its properties and assets; counterparty risk; downgrade
in credit rating and its adverse effects; liability for indemnification obligations to third parties; variability of dividends to be paid; its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet its
current and future obligations; its ability to access external sources of debt and equity capital; the timing and the costs of well and pipeline construction; the Company’s ability to secure adequate
product transportation; changes in royalty, tax, environmental, greenhouse gas, carbon, accounting and other laws or regulations or the interpretations of such laws or regulations; political and
economic conditions in the countries in which the Company operates; terrorist threats; risks associated with existing and potential future lawsuits and regulatory actions made against the Company;
risk arising from price basis differential; risk arising from inability to enter into attractive hedges to protect the Company’s capital program; and other risks and uncertainties described from time to time
in the reports and filings made with securities regulatory authorities by Encana.
Although Encana believes that the expectations represented by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Readers
are cautioned that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. In addition, assumptions relating to such forward-looking statements generally include Encana’s current expectations and
projections made in light of, and generally consistent with, its historical experience and its perception of historical trends, including the conversion of resources into reserves and production as well as
expectations regarding rates of advancement and innovation, generally consistent with and informed by its past experience, all of which are subject to the risk factors identified elsewhere in this
presentation. Assumptions with respect to forward-looking information regarding expanding Encana's oil and NGLs production and extraction volumes are based on existing expansion of natural gas
processing facilities in areas where Encana operates and the continued expansion and development of oil and NGL production from existing properties within its asset portfolio.
Forward-looking information respecting anticipated 2012 cash flow for Encana is based upon, among other things, achieving average production for 2012 of 3.0 Bcf/d of natural gas and 30,000 bbls/d
of liquids, commodity prices for natural gas and liquids based on NYMEX $3.25 per Mcf and WTI of $95 per bbl, an estimated U.S./Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate of $1.00 and a weighted
average number of outstanding shares for Encana of approximately 736 million. Forward-looking information respecting anticipated 2013 cash flow for Encana is based upon achieving average
production for 2013 of between 2.9 Bcf/d and 3.1 Bcf/d of natural gas and 60,000 bbls/d to 70,000 bbls/d of liquids, commodity prices for natural gas and liquids based on NYMEX $3.50 per Mcf and
WTI of $90 per bbl, an estimated U.S./Canadian dollar foreign exchange rate of $1.00 and a weighted average number of outstanding shares for Encana of approximately 736 million.
Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are made as of the date hereof and, except as required by law, Encana undertakes no obligation to update publicly or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified by this
cautionary statement.

Advisory Regarding Reserves Data & Other
Oil & Gas Information Disclosure Protocols
National Instrument (“NI”) 51-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators imposes oil and gas disclosure standards for Canadian public companies such as Encana engaged in oil and gas activities.
Encana complies with the NI 51-101 annual disclosure requirements in its annual information form, most recently dated February 23, 2012 (“AIF”). The Canadian protocol disclosure is contained in
Appendix A and under “Narrative Description of the Business” in the AIF. Encana has obtained an exemption dated January 4, 2011 from certain requirements of NI 51-101 to permit it to provide certain
disclosure prepared in accordance with U.S. disclosure requirements, in addition to the Canadian protocol disclosure. That disclosure is primarily set forth in Appendix D of the AIF.
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. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities
recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus possible reserves.
The estimates of economic contingent resources contained in this presentation are based on definitions contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook. Contingent resources do not
constitute, and should not be confused with, reserves. Contingent resources are defined as those quantities of petroleum estimated, on 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. Economic
contingent resources are those contingent resources that are currently economically recoverable. In examining economic viability, the same fiscal conditions have been applied as in the estimation of
reserves. There is a range of uncertainty of estimated recoverable volumes. A low estimate is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the
actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate, which under probabilistic methodology reflects a 90 percent confidence level. A best estimate is considered to be a realistic estimate of
the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate, which under probabilistic methodology reflects a 50
percent confidence level. A high estimate is considered to be an optimistic estimate. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate, which under probabilistic
methodology reflects a 10 percent confidence level.
There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the volumes currently classified as economic contingent resources. The primary contingencies which currently prevent the
classification of Encana's disclosed economic contingent resources as reserves include the lack of a reasonable expectation that all internal and external approvals will be forthcoming and the lack of a
documented intent to develop the resources within a reasonable time frame. Other commercial considerations that may preclude the classification of contingent resources as reserves include factors such
as legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters or a lack of markets.
The estimates of various classes of reserves (proved, probable, possible) and of contingent resources (low, best, high) in this presentation represent arithmetic sums of multiple estimates of such classes
for different properties, which statistical principles indicate may be misleading as to volumes that may actually be recovered. Readers should give attention to the estimates of individual classes of reserves
and contingent resources and appreciate the differing probabilities of recovery associated with each class.
Encana uses the terms resource play, total petroleum initially-in-place, natural gas-in-place, and crude oil-in-place. Resource play is a term used by Encana to describe 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. Total petroleum initially-in-place (“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 resources”). Natural gas-in-place (“NGIP”) and crude oil-in-place (“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”) 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.
In this presentation, Encana has provided information with respect to certain of its plays and emerging opportunities which is “analogous information” as defined in NI 51-101. This analogous information
includes estimates of PIIP, NGIP, COIP or EUR, all as defined in the Canadian Oil & Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGEH”) or by the SPE-PRMS, and/or 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. Some of this data may not have been prepared by qualified reserves evaluators or auditors and the preparation of any estimates may not be in strict accordance with COGEH.
Regardless, 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.
There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the estimated PIIP, NGIP, COIP or EUR. 30-day IP and short-term rates are not necessarily indicative of long-term
performance or of ultimate recovery.
In this presentation, certain oil and NGLs volumes have been converted to cubic feet equivalent (cfe) on the basis of one barrel (bbl) to six thousand cubic feet (Mcf). Cfe may be misleading, particularly if
used in isolation. A conversion ratio of one bbl to six Mcf is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalency at the well
head. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be
misleading as an indication of value.
For convenience, references in this presentation to “Encana”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” may, where applicable, refer only to or include any relevant direct and indirect subsidiary corporations and
partnerships (“Subsidiaries”) of Encana Corporation, and the assets, activities and initiatives of such Subsidiaries.

Introduction
• The North American natural gas market has undergone a
transformation in which the ability of the industry to deliver gas
to the market has dramatically increased
– Technological advances have unlocked a vast resource
once thought uneconomic to develop
– Shale gas plays now account for about 26 percent of North
American natural gas production
– Resource deliverability is driven by rig count
• IHS Global Insight estimates that the shale gas industry
contributed over 600,000 jobs in 2010 and expects by 2015 that
number could increase to 870,000 jobs
• Immense resource is available with supply cost between $4.00
and $6.00/MMBtu
Note: North America refers to the United States and Canada unless noted otherwise

Best Management Practices
• Multiple wells drilled from one pad
– Reduces surface impact and rig moves
– 52 wells on one 4.2 acre pad!
• Three-phase gathering via pipeline
– No tanks on location = no VOC emissions
• Centralized production facility
– Captures VOC’s
