EnCana is an innovative and responsible natural gas and oil producer, providing energy for communities across North America. More than 80 percent of our production is clean-burning natural gas. We are also a technical and cost leader in the recovery of oil through steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). One hundred percent of our oil production is fully integrated with our interests in two refineries in the United States.
As the largest natural gas producer in North America, we produced 1.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2008 - that's enough to heat nearly 11 million homes for one year.
Our people
At the heart of EnCana's success, are the ingenuity, technical leadership and enthusiasm of our over 7,000 staff. Over the years, we've learned that we can devise better ways of doing things when we share ideas. And by doing things better, we're able to decrease costs, increase production, create a safer work environment, and reduce our environmental footprint. This has earned us international recognition as a global leader for our economic, environmental and social performance. In addition to three straight years on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, we have also been awarded a Sustainable Asset Management distinction for demonstrating leadership in sustainability for the second year in a row.
Our mission
We strive to be a trusted contributor in the communities where we work and live, conducting our business in an ethical and socially responsible manner, so we can fulfill our mission of providing energy for people.
