This disclosure statement is being filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada as a supporting filing under section 5.9 of National Instrument 51-101 in respect of disclosure which EnCana Corporation may make from time to time of anticipated results from its subsidiary’s prospect known as the S.E. Alberta Shallow Gas Play. The S.E. Shallow Gas Play is one of EnCana’s resource plays.

The following is in response to the items listed in section 5.9 of National Instrument 51-101:

  (a)   Location and basin name:
 
      The Medicine Hat Shallow gas pool extends for an area of approximately 9,000 square miles. This field lies entirely within the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
 
  (b)   Gross and net interest in the property:
 
      EnCana controls approximately 2,900 square miles of land within this field. Due to our high working interest, net and gross areas are nearly the same.
 
  (c)   Interest expiry date:
 
      EnCana holds fee title on these lands and there are no expiry issues.
 
  (d)   Target zone name, geologic age and lithology:
 
      The primary zones are the Milk River, Medicine Hat, and Second White Specks formations. These were deposited during the Cretaceous period, approximately 84-95 million years ago. They are made up mostly of low permeability sands and silts.

Prospect Disclosure Statement — S.E. Alberta Shallow Gas Play — October 18, 2004

  (g)   Range of Pool or Field Sizes:
 
      In keeping with EnCana’s definition of a resource play, EnCana believes that this prospect extends over a number of townships. Single sections are each estimated to contain between 1 and 5 Bcf of recoverable gas.
 
  (h)   Depth of the target zone:
 
      The wells range in depth from 1000-2500 feet TVD (true vertical depth).
 
  (i)   Estimated cost to drill a well to the target depth and test:
 
      Approximately US $35,000 for a vertical well drilled into the shallow gas zones and tested. Costs range from US $85,000 to $130,000 to drill, complete and tie-in one of these wells.
 
  (j)   Reasonably expected drilling commencement and completion dates:
 
      Drilling operations are ongoing on this resource play with EnCana’s long range plan calling for exploitation and development through at least 2007.

  (o)   Positive and negative factors relevant to the expected results, pursuant to section 5.10:
 
      The business of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas is inherently risky and uncertain. Some of these risks and uncertainties include, among other things: volatility of commodity prices; product supply and demand; imprecision of reserve estimates; timing & costs of wells and related production facilities; and price & availability of oil field services. What are believed to be the greater technical risks specific to this play are: land access and regulatory approvals, both of which could delay development.

EnCana Corporation resource descriptions

EnCana uses the terms resource play, estimated ultimate recovery and resource potential. 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. 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. Resource potential is a term used by EnCana to refer to the estimated quantities of hydrocarbons that may be added to proved reserves over a specified period of time largely from a specified resource play or plays. EnCana’s current stated estimates of unbooked resource potential use a five year time frame for their specified period of time.

ADVISORY REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS — In the interests of providing EnCana shareholders and potential investors with information regarding EnCana, including management’s assessment of EnCana’s and its subsidiaries’ future plans and operations, certain statements contained in this disclosure statement are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this disclosure statement include, but are not limited to: estimated recoverable gas; estimated drilling costs; estimated drilling periods; anticipated prices; anticipated number of wells to be drilled; anticipated drilling success; anticipated marketing and transportation arrangements; and potential factors relevant to expected results. 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 risks and uncertainties include, among other things: volatility of oil and gas prices; fluctuations in currency and interest rates; product supply and demand; market competition; risks inherent in the company’s marketing operations, including credit risks; imprecision of

  (o)   Positive and negative factors relevant to the expected results, pursuant to section 5.10:
 
      The business of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas is inherently risky and uncertain. Some of these risks and uncertainties include, among other things: volatility of commodity prices; product supply and demand; imprecision of reserve estimates; timing & costs of wells and related production facilities; and price & availability of oil field services. What are believed to be the greater technical risks specific to this play are the presence of localized gas caps and/or bottom water.

EnCana Corporation resource descriptions

EnCana uses the terms resource play, estimated ultimate recovery and resource potential. 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. 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. Resource potential is a term used by EnCana to refer to the estimated quantities of hydrocarbons that may be added to proved reserves over a specified period of time largely from a specified resource play or plays. EnCana’s current stated estimates of unbooked resource potential use a five year time frame for their specified period of time.

  (o)   Positive and negative factors relevant to the expected results, pursuant to section 5.10:
 
      The business of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas is inherently risky and uncertain. Some of these risks and uncertainties include, among other things: volatility of commodity prices; product supply and demand; imprecision of reserve estimates; timing & costs of wells and related production facilities; and price & availability of oil field services. What are believed to be two of the greater technical risks specific to this play are: presence of over-pressure within the formation and variations in reservoir quality.

EnCana Corporation resource descriptions

EnCana uses the terms resource play, estimated ultimate recovery and resource potential. 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. 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. Resource potential is a term used by EnCana to refer to the estimated quantities of hydrocarbons that may be added to proved reserves over a specified period of time largely from a specified resource play or plays. EnCana’s current stated estimates of unbooked resource potential use a five year time frame for their specified period of time.
