Exhibit 99.2

Dear Team Newfield,

We are excited to announce we have reached a definitive merger agreement between Newfield and Encana. A joint news release was issued this morning, along with a slide presentation detailing some aspects of the merger. You can find both on the Encana website.

First, let me provide a few highlights of this extraordinary deal. Once approved, the merger will create a leading North American multi-basin company. When combined, our companies will have the key attributes that should be differentiated in today’s energy sector. In short, we are taking two great companies and creating one that’s even better.

To further understand the business rationale for the merger, I encourage you to listen to the analyst calls from each company taking place this morning. Please use the webcast feature on both websites to join the calls.

I do want you to know this decision was not made lightly. It was only after a great deal of thought and consideration from our senior leadership team and our board of directors that we came to the conclusion this was the right move for the company. The last several years have been challenging for the energy industry and we think this transaction will position us to realize significant value for Newfield.

Together the two companies will have scale and core-of-the-core acreage in some of the best liquids-rich basins across North America and our net daily production will reach nearly 600,000 BOEPD, of which more than half will be liquids. This union will create one of the largest producers of unconventional resources in North America.

To explain the merger in more detail, we will be holding an all-employee meeting this morning at 10:30 a.m. central time at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion Event Center for our employees in The Woodlands. We also plan to schedule meetings early next week with our employees outside The Woodlands. We will send emails separately with details of those meetings.

We will be establishing a page on Connections within the next few days where we will post updates, FAQs and a list of resources for additional reference and for those who could not make the meetings. We will keep you informed as we proceed through the next few months.

Until the proposed transaction closes, we will continue to operate as two separate and independent companies. We expect to complete the regulatory review and shareholder approval process and be in a position to close the transaction in the first quarter of 2019. Until then, with a few exceptions, we will continue to run our business as usual at Newfield. Keep your focus on excellence and safety in all that you do.

Thank you for your continued commitment to Newfield.
