SUPPLEMENTAL PRO FORMA OIL, NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES

INFORMATION AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018

The following tables present the estimated pro forma combined net proved developed and undeveloped, oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2018, along with a summary of changes in quantities of net remaining proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2018. The pro forma reserve information set forth below gives effect to the merger as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2018.

The following estimates of the net proved oil and natural gas reserves of Encana’s oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2018 are based on evaluations prepared by Encana’s internal qualified reserves evaluators. In 2018, McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. audited 23% of Encana’s estimated Canadian proved reserve volumes and Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. audited 54% of Encana’s estimated U.S. proved reserve volumes. The following estimates of the net proved oil and natural gas reserves of Newfield’s oil and gas properties are as of December 31, 2018 and were prepared by Newfield’s petroleum engineering staff. Ryder Scott Company and DeGolyer and MacNaughton performed audits of the internally prepared reserve estimates on certain fields aggregating to 97% of 2018 year-end reported proved reserve volumes on a barrel of oil equivalent basis. All reserves information presented herein was prepared in accordance with applicable SEC regulations.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities and values of proved reserves and in projecting future rates of production and the amount and timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond the property owner’s control. The following reserve data represents estimates only and should not be construed as being precise. The assumptions used in preparing these estimates may not be realized, causing the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered, the timing of the recovery of oil and gas reserves, the production and operating costs incurred and the amount and timing of future development expenditures to vary from the estimates presented herein. Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to reserves will vary from estimates and the variances may be material.

These estimates were calculated using the 12-month average of the first day of the month reference prices as adjusted for location and quality differentials. Any significant price changes will have a material effect on the quantity and present value of the reserves. These estimates depend on a number of variable factors and assumptions, including historical production from the area compared with production from other comparable producing areas, the assumed effects of regulations by governmental agencies, assumptions concerning future oil and gas prices, and assumptions concerning future operating costs, transportation costs, severance and excise taxes, development costs and workover and remedial costs.

The following estimated pro forma combined net proved developed and undeveloped oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the merger been completed on January 1, 2018 and is not intended to be a projection of future results. As a result, future results may vary significantly from the pro form results reflected herein.
