Exhibit 99.7

Talking Points for Officers/Leadership Team Meeting

November 1, 2018

After this meeting today, we will announce our intent to merge Newfield with Encana.

Key Points to Cover

1.              Dominant, multi-basin company in three of the top onshore liquids plays* (Permian, Anadarko and Montney)

2.              Scale—nearly 600,000 BOEPD in production, >50% liquids

3.              Returns capital to stockholders—excess cash flow to allow for dividends and buy backs

4.              Profitable production growth and improved returns

5.              Strong financial structure

[*This does not include offshore, oil sands or international]

Overview

[As you go through these points, please personalize / customize the language so it doesn’t sound too formal]

·                                          This is an exceptional transaction for our stockholders.

·                                          This transaction will create a leading North American multi-basin company and we are confident that it’s in the best interest of our owners. 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.

·                                          Once the merger is completed, we 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.

·                                          The transaction must be approved by the stockholders of both companies and regulatory agencies.

·                                          We believe the transaction will close in the first quarter of 2019.

·                                          There is considerable work to be done today and tomorrow, and over the next few months. A team, made-up of members from both organizations, will be driving the transaction to closure and preparing for its integration.

·                                          Between now and closing in early 2019, we must continue to stay focused and manage our company in a consistent manner. It is critical to keep Newfield running at the same high level of excellence we have always practiced. We need to keep the momentum moving and deliver our 2018 plan as promised to our stockholders.

·                                          Until the deal closes, we must continue to operate as separate companies. There will not be any significant changes to our day-to-day activities or operations as a result of this proposed

transaction. You or your teams will likely be asked to support some pre-closing integration work that will begin soon. Please assist as requested.

·                                          You or members of your team should not contact anyone you know at Encana or have communications with Encana employees about the company or about the transaction unless you have been specifically authorized to do so.

The near-term rollout plan is:

·                                          As soon as the news release goes public, you can begin to communicate with your teams. It will be very important that our communications are consistent. We have carefully prepared language for you to use with employees that cover the rationale and benefits of this merger. Brooke and her designated HR leaders will be ready to support you after the public

announcement and employee meeting. You will receive a toolkit shortly to prepare you for these discussions.

·                                          Encourage your employees to listen to the two webcasts and attend the all-employee meeting. Recognize and acknowledge this process creates uncertainty and anxiety, and be empathetic to employee’s feelings during this time.

·                                          The honest answer to many questions at this point is “I don’t know yet.” We are going to get comfortable with saying this. It is very important that you not guess and that you not encourage others to guess or speculate. This will be a lengthy process… it’s imperative that we do it right, and it will require each of us to apply patience and composure during the transition.

·                                          The most critical issue that you can encourage and emphasize right now is for employees to remain focused on doing their job. Some discussion of the proposed transaction is expected and acceptable, but we need to remain dedicated to our operations and everyone will need to continue to perform their job responsibilities. We still have a 2018 plan to execute and deliver.

·                                          This is a good decision for Newfield and our owners. We are taking two great companies and making an even better one!
