As a leading North American energy company, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, EnCana produces approximately 4.4 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent per day. More than 80 percent is natural gas — the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels. EnCana is also a technical and cost leader in the in-situ recovery of bitumen through steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) – production that is integrated with its two refineries in the United States.

Natural gas and oil resource plays ((large continuous accumulations of hydrocarbons capable of delivering steady, reliable production growth for decades) are EnCana's strategic focus. With 14 key resource plays across Canada and the United States EnCana plans to invest for the long term and apply continuous and lasting improvements: leveraging technical innovations, acting on the feedback from stakeholders, improving energy efficiencies in day-to-day operations and processes.
That strategic focus, combined with the ingenuity, technical leadership and enthusiasm of 7,500 employees and contractors across Canada and the United States, enables EnCana to deliver on the mission of providing energy for people across North America.

EnCana’s U.S. operations are focused on exploiting long-life unconventional natural gas formations in the Jonah field in southwest Wyoming, the Piceance Basin in northwest Colorado and the East Texas, Fort Worth and Maverick Basins in Texas. The majority of the production in the USA Division is from the four key resource plays at Jonah, Piceance, East Texas and Fort Worth. Together, these four key resource plays accounted for approximately 87 percent of the total U.S. natural gas production in 2007. In 2007, EnCana's U.S. natural gas production averaged 1,345 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d).
