EnCana has further applied pursuant to Section 85 of the OGCA that the revenues associated with the missing and untraceable owner(s) be paid to the Public Trustee; and pursuant to Section 86 of the OGCA to allow EnCana to sell the registered owner’s share of production from Section 5, pay out of those proceeds the costs and expenses payable to EnCana by such registered owner, and pay the balance of the proceeds to the Minister of Energy, to be held by the Minister in trust pending an order of the Court of Queen’s Bench or until a settlement has been reached by the parties.

The applicant has requested that costs and revenues under the pooling order be allocated on a tract area basis and that it be named the operator of the well to be produced. The applicant has not requested any penalty to be imposed against actual drilling and completion costs.
