FARMINGTON — Encana Corp. is moving forward with oil and gas production in the San Juan Basin, the company's CEO said on Wednesday.

In June, the company purchased 67,000 acres to improve its position in the basin.

"We are moving forward with commercial development in the San Juan, DJ Basin and Clearwater oil areas," Doug Suttles, Encana's president and CEO, said in a conference call with investors. "Tracking the progress of the emerging plays as they are appraised will be a particular focus in the second half of 2013."

The DJ Basin is in northern Colorado, while the Clearwater resource play is in southern Alberta, Canada.

Encana spokesman Doug Hock said Wednesday he could not disclose details about the San Juan Basin property purchase.

"We're not releasing any information about the price or the other party," he said.
