EnCana to Fuel LNG Powered Trucks in the Haynesville Shale (4/5/11)

Encana takes to the road with new mobile liquefied natural gas fueling stations to fill up emerging LNG fleets

Calgary, Alberta, (April 5, 2011) - Encana Natural Gas Inc., a subsidiary of Encana Corporation (TSX, NYSE: ECA), has reached an agreement that will see its new mobile liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling stations provide fueling services to the newest fleet of LNG heavy-duty trucks in North America. Encana has agreed to be the sole fuel supplier to Heckmann Water Resources (HWR), a California company that provides water hauling services to Encana and other producers in Louisiana's Haynesville resource play. Heckmann recently ordered 200 new LNG trucks, from Peterbilt Motors Corporation of Denton, Texas, which are powered by Westport HD Systems from Westport Innovations' Inc. of Vancouver, B.C. Heckmann's purchase represents a major thrust to convert the company's water-hauling truck fleet to LNG from diesel, and will make HWR the operator of the largest fleet of LNG trucks in North America.
