EnCana powers Canadian drilling activities

Gary Park

EnCana, the big Canadian independent, gave conclusive proof of just how big it is in the first three-quarters of 2004.

The 25 most active drillers accounted for 12,092 well completions; EnCana claimed 3,793 — 31 precent — of that number.

The nearest thing to a race came from the next four, with Husky Energy posting 1,239 wells, Apache Canada 998, EOG Resources 943 and Canadian Natural Resources 873.

On the exploration front, EnCana tallied 2.29 million feet, followed by Burlington Resources Canada at 1.08 million feet and Husky at 896,000 feet.

Leading the way in discoveries, Husky claimed 82 oil finds, while EnCana has 394 gas discoveries.
