EnCana’s Board of Directors recently approved a proposal to split EnCana into two highly focused energy companies: one a natural gas company with an outstanding portfolio of early life, North American, natural gas resource plays (currently with a working name of “GasCo”) and the other a fully integrated oil company with industry-leading in-situ oilsands properties and top-performing refineries, as well as an underlying foundation of reliable oil and gas resource plays (currently with a working name of “IOCo”). In the event this proposed corporate reorganization proceeds, it is anticipated that the position below will continue in IOCo.
For more information, please refer to EnCana’s May 11, 2008 news release and advisory at www.encana.com.

* seek out and implement innovative and leading-edge technology
* provide technical input into bid evaluations for completions services/materials as required
* prioritize completions based on state of readiness
* coordinate pressure transient analysis of flow and build-up data as needed
* help maintain completions databases and keep track of completions milestones on a well-by-well basis
