NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes of Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Devon’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished in this report reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of Devon’s financial position as of June 30, 2009 and Devon’s results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. To prepare the accompanying financial statements and notes, Devon’s management evaluated events or transactions that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2009 and before August 5, 2009, which was the date these financial statements were issued.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” Staff Position 132(R)-1 amends FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, to require additional disclosures about the types of assets and associated risks in an employer’s defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. Staff Position 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Devon is evaluating the impact the adoption of Staff Position 132(R)-1 will have on its financial statement disclosures. However, Devon’s adoption of Staff Position 132(R)-1 will not affect its current accounting for its pension and postretirement plans.
Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting
In December 2008, the SEC adopted revisions to its required oil and gas reporting disclosures. The revisions are intended to provide investors with a more meaningful and comprehensive understanding of oil and gas reserves. In the three decades that have passed since adoption of these disclosure items, there have been significant changes in the oil and gas industry. The amendments are designed to modernize and update the oil and gas disclosure requirements to align them with current practices and changes in technology. In addition, the amendments concurrently align the SEC’s full cost accounting rules with the revised disclosures. The revised disclosure requirements must be incorporated in registration statements filed on or after January 1, 2010, and annual reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. A company may not apply the new rules to disclosures in quarterly reports prior to the first annual report in which the revised disclosures are required.
The following amendments have the greatest likelihood of affecting Devon’s reserve disclosures, including the comparability of its reserves disclosures with those of its peer companies:
| • | | Pricing mechanism for oil and gas reserves estimation— The SEC’s current rules require proved reserve estimates to be calculated using prices as of the end of the period and held constant over the life of the reserves. Price changes can be made only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements. The revised rules require reserve estimates to be calculated using a 12-month average price. The 12-month average price will also be used for purposes of calculating the full cost ceiling limitations. Price changes can still be incorporated to the extent defined by contractual arrangements. The use of a 12-month average price rather than a single-day price is expected to reduce the impact on reserve estimates and the full cost ceiling limitations due to short-term volatility and seasonality of prices. |
|
| • | | Reasonable certainty— The SEC’s current definition of “proved oil and gas reserves” incorporate certain specific concepts such as “lowest known hydrocarbons,” which limits the ability to claim proved reserves in the absence of information on fluid contacts in a well penetration, notwithstanding the existence of other engineering and geoscientific evidence. The revised rules amend the definition to permit the use of new reliable technologies to establish the reasonable certainty of proved reserves. This revision also includes provisions for establishing levels of lowest known hydrocarbons and highest known oil through reliable technology other than well penetrations. |
11
DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
| | | The revised rules also amend the definition of proved oil and gas reserves to include reserves located beyond development spacing areas that are immediately adjacent to developed spacing areas if economic producibility can be established with reasonable certainty. These revisions are designed to permit the use of reliable technologies to establish proved reserves in lieu of requiring companies to use specific tests. In addition, they establish a uniform standard of reasonable certainty that applies to all proved reserves, regardless of location or distance from producing wells. |
|
| | | Because the revised rules generally expand the definition of proved reserves, Devon expects its proved reserve estimates will increase upon adoption of the revised rules. However, Devon is not able to estimate the magnitude of the potential increase at this time. |
|
| • | | Unproved reserves— The SEC’s current rules prohibit disclosure of reserve estimates other than proved in documents filed with the SEC. The revised rules permit disclosure of probable and possible reserves and provide definitions of probable reserves and possible reserves. Disclosure of probable and possible reserves is optional. However, such disclosures must meet specific requirements. Disclosures of probable or possible reserves must provide the same level of geographic detail as proved reserves and must state whether the reserves are developed or undeveloped. Probable and possible reserve disclosures must also provide the relative uncertainty associated with these classifications of reserves estimations. Devon has not yet determined whether it will disclose its probable and possible reserves in documents filed with the SEC. |

3. Derivative Financial Instruments
Devon periodically enters into commodity and interest rate derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to manage the inherent uncertainty of future revenues due to oil and gas price volatility and to manage Devon’s exposure to interest rate volatility. Also, during the first eight months of 2008, Devon was subject to an embedded option derivative related to the fair value of its debentures exchangeable into shares of Chevron common stock.

In the first quarter of 2009, Devon reduced the carrying values of certain of its oil and gas properties due to full cost ceiling limitations. These reductions are discussed in Note 13.
6. Goodwill
During the first six months of 2009, Devon’s goodwill increased $131 million. This increase related to Devon’s Canadian goodwill and was entirely due to foreign currency translation.
7. Debt
5.625% Senior Notes Due January 15, 2014 and 6.30% Senior Notes Due January 15, 2019
In January 2009, Devon issued $500 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2014 and $700 million of 6.30% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2019. The net proceeds received of $1.187 billion, after discounts and issuance costs, were used primarily to repay Devon’s $1.0 billion of outstanding commercial paper as of December 31, 2008.
Credit Lines
Devon has two syndicated, unsecured revolving lines of credit that can be accessed to provide liquidity as needed. The following schedule summarizes the capacity of Devon’s credit facilities by maturity date, as well as its available capacity as of June 30, 2009.

impairments. As of June 30, 2009, Devon was in compliance with this covenant. Devon’s debt-to-capitalization ratio at June 30, 2009, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 21.8%.
Commercial Paper
Subsequent to the $1.0 billion commercial paper repayment in January 2009, Devon utilized additional commercial paper borrowings of $1.3 billion to fund capital expenditure payments in excess of cash generated by operating activities during the first half of 2009. As of June 30, 2009, Devon’s average borrowing rate on its $1.3 billion of commercial paper debt was 0.48%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Devon previously disclosed in its 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K that it expected to contribute up to approximately $183 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2009 and $5 million to its defined benefit postretirement plans in 2009. Devon has revised its estimate of 2009 defined benefit pension plan contributions to $55 million. As of June 30, 2009, Devon has contributed $15 million to its defined benefit pension plans and $2 million to its defined benefit postretirement plans.
10. Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Repurchases
During the first six months of 2008, Devon repurchased 2.8 million common shares for $302 million, or $106.01 per share, under programs approved by its Board of Directors. The 2.8 million common shares include 2.0 million shares that were repurchased under Devon’s 50 million share repurchase program and 0.8 million shares that were repurchased under Devon’s ongoing, annual stock repurchase program. No such repurchases were made during the first six months of 2009.
Dividends
Devon paid common stock dividends of $142 million and $141 million (quarterly rates of $0.16 per share) in the first six months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Devon paid preferred stock dividends of $5 million in the first half of 2008. Devon redeemed all 1.5 million outstanding shares of its preferred stock on June 20, 2008.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Devon and that can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Devon’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. None of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to Devon’s financial position or results of operations after consideration of recorded accruals. However, actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimate.
Environmental Matters
Devon is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, accruals have been established when reasonable estimates are possible. Such accruals primarily include estimated costs associated with remediation. Devon has not used discounting in determining its accrued liabilities for environmental remediation, and no material claims for possible recovery from third party insurers or other parties related to environmental costs have been recognized in Devon’s consolidated financial statements. Devon adjusts the accruals when new remediation responsibilities are discovered and probable costs become estimable, or when current remediation estimates must be adjusted to reflect new information.
Certain of Devon’s subsidiaries are involved in matters in which it has been alleged that such subsidiaries are potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) under CERCLA or similar state legislation with respect to various waste disposal areas owned or operated by third parties. As of June 30, 2009, Devon’s balance sheet included $1 million of accrued liabilities, reflected in other long-term liabilities, related to these and other environmental remediation liabilities. Devon does not currently believe there is a reasonable possibility of incurring additional material costs in excess of the current accruals recognized for such environmental remediation activities. With respect to the sites in which Devon subsidiaries are PRPs, Devon’s conclusion is based in large part on (i) Devon’s participation in consent decrees with both other PRPs and the Environmental Protection Agency, which provide for performing the scope of work required for remediation and contain covenants not to sue as protection to the PRPs, (ii) participation in groups as ade minimisPRP,and (iii) the availability of other defenses to liability. As a result, Devon’s monetary exposure is not expected to be material.

Royalty Matters
Numerous natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging violation of the federal False Claims Act. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, improper deductions, improper measurement techniques and transactions with affiliates, which resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with natural gas and NGLs produced and sold from federal and Indian owned or controlled lands. The principal suit in which Devon is a defendant isUnited States ex rel. Wright v. Chevron USA, Inc. et al.(the “Wright case”). The suit was originally filed in August 1996 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, but was consolidated in October 2000 with other suits for pre-trial proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming. On July 10, 2003, the District of Wyoming remanded the Wright case back to the Eastern District of Texas to resume proceedings. On April 12, 2007, the court entered a trial plan and scheduling order in which the case will proceed in phases. Two phases have been scheduled to date. The first phase was scheduled to begin in August 2008, but the defendant settled prior to trial. The second phase was scheduled to begin in February 2009, but the defendants settled prior to trial. Devon was not included in the groups of defendants selected for these first two phases. Devon believes that it has acted reasonably, has legitimate and strong defenses to all allegations in the suit, and has paid royalties in good faith. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to this lawsuit and, therefore, no liability related to this lawsuit has been recorded.
In 1995, the United States Congress passed the Deep Water Royalty Relief Act. The intent of this legislation was to encourage deep water exploration in the Gulf of Mexico by providing relief from the obligation to pay royalties on certain federal leases. Deep water leases issued in certain years by the Minerals Management Service (the “MMS”) have contained price thresholds, such that if the market prices for oil or gas exceeded the thresholds for a given year, royalty relief would not be granted for that year. Deep water leases issued in 1998 and 1999 did not include price thresholds.
The U.S. House of Representatives in January 2007 passed legislation that would have required companies to renegotiate the 1998 and 1999 leases as a condition of securing future federal leases. This legislation was not passed by the U.S. Senate. However, Congress may consider similar legislation in the future. In October 2007, a federal district court ruled in favor of a plaintiff who had challenged the legality of including price thresholds in deep water leases. Additionally, in January 2009 a federal appellate court upheld this district court ruling. This judgment is subject to further appeals.
As of June 30, 2009, Devon had $82 million accrued for potential royalties on various deep water leases. Due to the uncertainty of this issue caused by the favorable federal court decisions and potential Congressional actions, Devon has ceased accruing additional royalties on its affected leases. Devon will continue to monitor developments and adjust its accruals as necessary.
Other Matters
Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon’s knowledge as of the date these financial statements were issued, neither Devon nor its property is subject to any material pending legal proceedings.

13. Reduction of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties
In the first quarter of 2009, Devon reduced the carrying values of certain of its oil and gas properties due to full cost ceiling limitations. A summary of these reductions and additional discussion is provided below.

The United States reduction resulted primarily from a significant decrease in the full cost ceiling during the first three months of 2009. The lower ceiling value in the United States largely resulted from the continued effects of declining natural gas prices subsequent to December 31, 2008.
Although oil prices improved subsequent to December 31, 2008, Brazil’s reduction resulted largely from an exploratory well drilled at the BM-BAR-3 block in the offshore Barreirinhas Basin. After drilling this well in the first quarter of 2009, Devon concluded that the well did not have adequate reserves for commercial viability. As a result, the seismic, leasehold and drilling costs associated with this well contributed to the reduction recognized in the first quarter of 2009.
To demonstrate the changes in the full-cost ceiling for the United States and Brazil, the March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 weighted average wellhead prices are presented in the following table.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The March 31, 2009 oil and gas wellhead prices in the table above compare to the NYMEX cash price of $49.66 per Bbl for crude oil and the Henry Hub spot price of $3.63 per MMBtu for gas. The December 31, 2008 oil and gas wellhead prices in the table above compare to the NYMEX cash price of $44.60 per Bbl for crude oil and the Henry Hub spot price of $5.71 per MMBtu for gas.
14. Discontinued Operations
At the end of 2008, Devon’s operations in Angola were classified as discontinued as a result of Devon’s plans and ongoing activities to sell its operations in Angola. Due to a commercial discovery in the second quarter of 2009, Devon suspended marketing its Angolan operations for sale. Although Devon intends to resume marketing activities in 2010 once it has drilled its remaining commitment wells, Devon’s operations in Angola do not currently qualify as discontinued. Therefore, Devon has classified all amounts related to its Angolan operations for 2009 and prior years as continuing operations.
In the second quarter of 2008, Devon sold its assets and terminated its operations in certain West African countries, consisting primarily of Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. As a result of the sales, Devon recognized gains totaling $736 million ($647 million after taxes) in the second quarter of 2008 from proceeds of $2.4 billion ($1.7 billion net of income taxes and purchase price adjustments). During the second quarter of 2009, Devon recognized a $17 million gain in conjunction with post-closing settlements related to these sales, as well as the sale of its assets in Cote D’Ivoire in the third quarter of 2008.
Operating revenues related to Devon’s discontinued operations totaled $127 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $332 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. There were no operating revenues related to Devon’s discontinued operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009.
The following table presents the main classes of assets and liabilities associated with Devon’s discontinued operations as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

15. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The following table reconciles earnings (loss) from continuing operations and common shares outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Because a net loss from continuing operations was generated during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the dilutive shares produce an antidilutive net loss per share result. Therefore, the diluted loss per share from continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2009 reported in the accompanying 2009 statement of operations is the same as the basic loss per share amount.

Certain options to purchase shares of Devon’s common stock are excluded from the dilution calculations because the options are antidilutive. During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, 7.1 million shares and 8.9 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations. During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, no shares and 1.5 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations.

Item 2. | | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion addresses material changes in our results of operations and capital resources and uses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared to the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, and in our financial condition and liquidity since December 31, 2008. For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Business Overview
The downward pressure in natural gas prices that began in the last half of 2008 has continued into the first and second quarters of 2009. The Henry Hub natural gas index for the second quarter of 2009 was down 49% from the fourth quarter of 2008 and 68% from the second quarter of 2008. Additionally, although oil index prices have improved slightly since the end of 2008, the West Texas Intermediate oil index dropped 52% from the second quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009.
The lower oil and gas prices have significantly impacted our earnings for the second quarter and first six months of 2009. During the second quarter of 2009 and first six months of 2009, we generated net earnings of $314 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, and a net loss of $3.6 billion, or $8.21 per diluted share, for the respective periods. These amounts are significantly lower than the comparative earnings amounts for 2008. Additionally, the loss in the first half of 2009 was the result of noncash impairments of our oil and gas properties in the first quarter that totaled $4.2 billion, net of income taxes. Substantially all of this noncash charge was the result of the continuing drop in natural gas prices since December 31, 2008.
Key measures of our performance for the second quarter and first six months of 2009 compared to 2008 are summarized below:
| • | | Production increased 12% and 9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively. |
|
| • | | The combined realized price without hedges for oil, gas and NGLs decreased 62% and 59% in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively. |
|
| • | | Marketing and midstream operating profit decreased 39% to $125 million and 29% to $267 in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively. |
|
| • | | Per unit operating costs decreased 30% to $8.51 per Boe and 24% to $8.84 per Boe in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively. |
|
| • | | Oil and gas hedges generated net gains of $13 million and $167 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively and net losses of $1.2 billion and $2.0 billion in the second quarter and first six months of 2008. Included in these amounts were cash receipts of $114 million and $232 million for the second quarter of 2009 and first six months of 2009, respectively and payments of $303 million and $311 million in the second quarter of 2008 and first six months of 2008, respectively. |
|
| • | | Operating cash flow decreased approximately 60% to $2.1 billion in the first half of 2009. |
|
| • | | Cash spent on capital expenditures was approximately $3.2 billion in the first six months of 2009. Approximately 65% this amount was funded with operating cash flow and the remainder was funded with commercial paper borrowings. |
Additionally, in January 2009, we issued $500 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2014 and $700 million of 6.30% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2019. The net proceeds received of $1.187 billion, after discounts and issuance costs, were used primarily to repay our $1.0 billion of outstanding commercial paper as of December 31, 2008.
During the second quarter of 2009, we announced the integration of our Gulf of Mexico and International operations into one offshore unit. This integration will provide greater focus and efficiency to these areas of our operations, which have similar scope, technical requirements and strategy. We continue to view our deepwater strategy as a means to enhance our long-term growth opportunities.
We expect the challenging commodity price environment will likely persist throughout the remainder of 2009. As a result, we are continuing to execute the strategy we outlined at the beginning of the year. That strategy is to decrease our activity across our near-term development projects in North America and continue advancing our longer term development projects
27
like our second Jackfish heavy oil project in Canada and our Lower Tertiary developments in the Gulf of Mexico. We also continue to drive costs lower and maintain our strong liquidity position until we see signs of recovery in the hydrocarbon markets.
As part of this strategy, in the second quarter of 2009, we announced plans to pursue a partner to participate in our Lower Tertiary projects in the Gulf of Mexico. The proceeds we may obtain from such a transaction would supplement the liquidity provided by our operating cash flow and credit lines. Additionally, such a transaction would give us greater flexibility to adjust capital expenditures to changes in cash flow, particularly in these times of low commodity prices.
Although oil and gas prices remain depressed compared to recent highs achieved in 2008, and our operating cash flow has been negatively impacted, we expect to have adequate liquidity to execute our near-term operating strategy and maintain momentum on our longer-term projects. As of July 31, 2009, we had unused lines of credit totaling $2.0 billion and continue to have access to the commercial paper market. We anticipate these capital sources combined with our operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund our planned capital expenditures and other capital uses over the near-term.

Oil Sales
Oil sales decreased $895 million in the second quarter of 2009 as a result of a 53% decrease in our realized price without hedges. The average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price decreased 52% during the same time period, accounting for the majority of the decrease.
30
Oil sales increased $248 million in the second quarter of 2009 due to a three million barrel increase in production. The increased production resulted primarily from the continued development activities at our Jackfish operations in Canada and at our Polvo operations in Brazil.
Oil sales decreased $1.6 billion in the first half of 2009 as a result of a 56% decrease in our realized price without hedges. The average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price decreased 54% during the same time period, accounting for the majority of the decrease.
Oil sales increased $156 million in the first half of 2009 due to a two million barrel increase in production. The increased production resulted primarily from the continued development at our Jackfish operations in Canada and at our Polvo operations in Brazil. These increases were partially offset by decreased production in Azerbaijan as a result of reaching certain cost recovery thresholds. In addition, we deferred approximately 0.7 million barrels of Gulf of Mexico oil production due to hurricane damage suffered in the third quarter of 2008.
Gas Sales
Gas sales decreased $1.7 billion during the second quarter of 2009 as a result of a 70% decrease in our realized price without hedges. This decrease was largely due to decreases in the North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based.
A 24 Bcf increase in production during the second quarter of 2009 caused gas sales to increase by $232 million. Our drilling and development program in the Barnett Shale field in north Texas contributed 10 Bcf to the gas production increase. A decline in Canadian government royalties resulting from lower gas prices increased gas production by nine Bcf. These increases and the effect of new drilling and development in our other North American properties were partially offset by natural production declines, mainly in the Gulf of Mexico, and the deferral of approximately two Bcf of production due to hurricane damage suffered in the third quarter of 2008.
Gas sales decreased $2.6 billion during the first half of 2009 as a result of a 61% decrease in our realized price without hedges. This decrease is largely due to decreases in the regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based.
A 46 Bcf increase in production during the first half of 2009 caused gas sales to increase by $389 million. Our drilling and development program in the Barnett Shale field in north Texas contributed 25 Bcf to the gas production increase. A decline in Canadian government royalties resulting from lower gas prices increased gas production by 12 Bcf. These increases and the effect of new drilling and development in our other North American properties were partially offset by natural production declines, mainly in the Gulf of Mexico, and the deferral of approximately four Bcf of production due to hurricane damage suffered in the third quarter of 2008.
NGL Sales
NGL sales decreased $243 million during the second quarter of 2009 as a result of a 59% decrease in our realized price without hedges. This decrease was largely due to decreases in the regional index prices upon which our NGL sales are based.
NGL sales decreased $454 million during the first half of 2009 as a result of a 60% decrease in our realized price without hedges. This decrease is largely due to decreases in the regional index prices upon which our NGL sales are based.

In the second quarter and first half of 2009, our derivative financial instruments were comprised of gas price collars. In the second quarter and first half of 2008, our derivative financial instruments included gas price swaps and oil and gas price collars. For the price swaps, we receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. The price collars set a floor and ceiling price. If the applicable monthly price indices are outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices in the various collars, we cash-settle the difference with the counterparty to the collars. Cash settlements as presented in the tables above represent realized gains or losses related to our price swaps and collars.
32
During the second quarter and first half of 2009, we received $114 million, or $0.45 per Mcf, and $232 million, or $0.47 per Mcf, respectively from counterparties to settle our gas price collars. During the second quarter and first half of 2008, we paid $303 million, or $1.32 per Mcf, and $311 million, or $0.69 per Mcf, respectively, to counterparties to settle our gas price swaps and collars.
In addition to recognizing these cash settlement effects, we also recognize unrealized changes in the fair values of our oil and gas derivative instruments in each reporting period. We estimate the fair values of our oil and gas derivative financial instruments primarily by using internal discounted cash flow calculations. From time to time, we validate our valuation techniques by comparing our internally generated fair value estimates with those obtained from contract counterparties or brokers.
The most significant variable to our cash flow calculations is our estimate of future commodity prices. We base our estimate of future prices upon published forward commodity price curves such as the Inside FERC Henry Hub forward curve for gas instruments and the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate forward curve for oil instruments. Based on the amount of volumes subject to our gas price collars at June 30, 2009, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have increased our 2009 unrealized losses for our gas collar derivative financial instruments by approximately $20 million. Another key input to our cash flow calculations is our estimate of volatility for these forward curves, which we base primarily upon implied volatility.
Counterparty credit risk is also a component of commodity derivative valuations. We have mitigated our exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with numerous counterparties. Our commodity derivative contracts are held with eight separate counterparties. Additionally, our derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be posted if either our or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below investment grade. The threshold, above which collateral must be posted, decreases as the debt rating falls further below investment grade. Such thresholds generally range from zero to $50 million for the majority of our contracts. As of June 30, 2009, the credit ratings of all our counterparties were investment grade.
During the second quarter and first half of 2009, we reduced the fair value of our derivative financial instruments by $101 million and $65 million, respectively. These reductions largely represent the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains, which is expected as our contracts near their December 31, 2009 expiration date.
During the second quarter and first half of 2008, we recognized unrealized losses totaling $912 million and $1.7 billion, respectively, related to our oil and gas derivative instruments. These losses resulted primarily from a significant increase in the Inside FERC Henry Hub and the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate forward curves subsequent to our contract trade dates for our oil and gas price swaps and collars.
Marketing and Midstream Revenues and Operating Costs and Expenses
The details of the changes in marketing and midstream revenues, operating costs and expenses and the resulting operating profit between the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are shown in the table below.

During the second quarter of 2009, marketing and midstream revenues decreased $360 million and operating costs and expenses decreased $281 million, causing operating profit to decrease $79 million. During the first half of 2009, marketing and midstream revenues decreased $544 million and operating costs and expenses also decreased $434 million, causing operating profit to decrease $110 million. Revenues and expenses decreased in 2009 primarily due to lower natural gas and NGL prices, partially offset by increased gas pipeline throughput and increased NGL production.

Lease Operating Expenses (“LOE”)
LOE decreased $27 million in the second quarter of 2009. LOE decreased $64 million due to declining costs for fuel, materials, equipment and personnel, as well as a decline in recurring activities and well workover projects. Such declines largely result from decreasing demand for field services due to lower oil and gas prices compared to recent periods. LOE also decreased $26 million due to the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar. These decreases were the main contributors to the decrease in our LOE per Boe. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $63 million increase in LOE associated with our 12% production growth.
LOE decreased $9 million in the first half of 2009. LOE decreased $32 million due to declining costs for fuel, materials, equipment and personnel, as well as a decline in recurring activities and well workover projects. LOE also decreased $69 million due to the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar. These decreases were the main contributors to the decrease in our LOE per Boe. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $92 million increase in LOE associated with our 9% production growth.
Production Taxes
The following table details the changes in production taxes between the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The majority of our production taxes are assessed on our U.S. onshore properties and are based on a fixed percentage of revenues. Production taxes are also assessed on certain of our International properties based on a variable percentage of revenues that generally moves in tandem with commodity prices. Therefore, the changes due to revenues in the following table primarily relate to changes in oil, gas and NGL revenues from our U.S. onshore and International properties.

2009 DD&A | | $ | 494 | | | $ | 1,093 | |
| | | | | | |
The 12% production increase during the second quarter of 2009 caused oil and gas property related DD&A to increase $90 million. Oil and gas property-related DD&A decreased $358 million during the second quarter of 2009 due to a 42% decrease in the DD&A rate. The 9% production increase during the first half of 2009 caused oil and gas property related DD&A to increase $132 million. Oil and gas property-related DD&A decreased $538 million during the first half of 2009 due to a 33% decrease in the DD&A rate.
The largest contributors to the rate decreases in 2009 were reductions of the carrying values of certain of our oil and gas properties recognized in the first quarter of 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2008. These reductions totaled $16.9 billion and resulted from full cost ceiling limitations. In addition, the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar contributed to the rate decreases. These decreases were partially offset by the effects of costs incurred and transfers of previously unproved costs to the depletable base as a result of drilling activities subsequent to the second quarter of 2008.

Gross G&A increased $9 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. Gross G&A increased $33 million due to employee severance costs resulting from our decision to integrate our Gulf of Mexico and
35
International operations into one offshore unit in the second quarter of 2009. Gross G&A decreased $27 million due to accelerated share-based compensation expense recognized in the second quarter of 2008. In the second quarter of 2008, we modified the share-based compensation arrangements for certain members of senior management. The modified compensation arrangements provide that executives who meet certain years-of-service and age criteria can retire and continue vesting in outstanding share-based grants. As a condition to receiving the benefits of these modifications, the executives must agree not to use or disclose Devon’s confidential information and not to solicit Devon’s employees and customers. The executives are required to agree to these conditions at retirement and again in each subsequent year until all grants have vested. This modification results in accelerated expense recognition as executives approach the years-of-service and age criteria.
Gross G&A increased $37 million in the first half of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. Severance costs associated with the integration of the offshore unit and other employee departures in 2009 caused gross G&A to increase $50 million. Gross G&A decreased $27 million due to the accelerated share-based compensation expense discussed above. The remainder of the gross G&A increase largely relates to higher costs for employee compensation and benefits.
Interest Expense
The following schedule includes the components of interest expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Interest based on debt outstanding decreased during the first half of 2009 primarily due to a decrease in outstanding borrowings. In the second quarter of 2008, we used proceeds from our West African divestiture program and cash flow from operations to repay commercial paper and credit facility borrowings. As a result, we had lower commercial paper and credit facility borrowings in 2009 than in 2008. Additionally, we retired our exchangeable debentures during the third quarter of 2008. These decreases were partially offset by interest related to the $500 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes and $700 million of 6.30% senior unsecured notes that we issued in January 2009.
Interest based on debt outstanding was consistent in the second quarters of 2009 and 2008 primarily due to the changes in outstanding borrowings discussed above.
Change in Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The details of the changes in fair value of other financial instruments for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are shown in the table below.

Interest Rate Swaps
During the second quarter and first six months of 2009, we received cash settlements totaling $5 million and $21 million, respectively, from counterparties to settle our interest rate swaps. We also recognize unrealized changes in the fair values of
36
our interest rate swaps each reporting period. In the second quarter and first six months of 2009, we recorded a $5 million unrealized gain and a $6 million unrealized loss, respectively, as a result of changes in interest rates.
We estimate the fair values of our interest rate swap financial instruments primarily by using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward interest-rate yields. We periodically validate our valuation techniques by comparing our internally generated fair value estimates with those obtained from contract counterparties or brokers.
The most significant variable to our cash flow calculations is our estimate of future interest rate yields. We base our estimate of future yields upon our own internal model that utilizes forward curves such as the LIBOR or the Federal Funds Rate provided by a third party. Based on the notional amount subject to the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2009, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have increased our second quarter 2009 unrealized gain for our interest rate swaps by approximately $5 million.
As previously discussed for our commodity derivative contracts, counterparty credit risk is also a component of interest rate derivative valuations. We have mitigated our exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with several counterparties. Our interest rate derivative contracts are held with five separate counterparties. Additionally, our derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be posted if either our or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below investment grade. The threshold, above which collateral must be posted, decreases as the debt rating falls further below investment grade. Such thresholds generally range from zero to $50 million for the majority of our contracts. The credit ratings of all our counterparties were investment grade as of June 30, 2009.
Chevron Common Stock and Related Embedded Option
The second quarter and first six months of 2008 gain on our investment in Chevron common stock and loss on the embedded option were directly attributable to a $13.77 and $5.80 per share increase of Chevron’s common stock during the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively. The Chevron common stock was exchanged for Chevron’s interest in certain oil and gas properties and cash in the fourth quarter of 2008. The exchangeable debentures were retired in August 2008.
Reduction of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties
In the first quarter of 2009, we reduced the carrying values of certain of our oil and gas properties due to full cost ceiling limitations. A summary of these reductions and additional discussion is provided below.
| | | | | | | | |

Russia | | | 5 | | | | 2 | |
| | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 6,516 | | | $ | 4,190 | |
| | | | | | |
The United States reduction resulted primarily from a significant decrease in the full cost ceiling during the first three months of 2009. The lower ceiling value in the United States largely resulted from the continued effects of declining natural gas prices subsequent to December 31, 2008.
Although oil prices improved subsequent to December 31, 2008, Brazil’s reduction resulted largely from an exploratory well drilled at the BM-BAR-3 block in the offshore Barreirinhas Basin. After drilling this well in the first quarter of 2009, we concluded that the well did not have adequate reserves for commercial viability. As a result, the seismic, leasehold and drilling costs associated with this well contributed to the reduction recognized in the first quarter of 2009.
37
To demonstrate the changes in the full-cost ceiling for the United States and Brazil, the March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 weighted average wellhead prices are presented in the following table.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The March 31, 2009 oil and gas wellhead prices in the table above compare to the NYMEX cash price of $49.66 per Bbl for crude oil and the Henry Hub spot price of $3.63 per MMBtu for gas. The December 31, 2008 oil and gas wellhead prices in the table above compare to the NYMEX cash price of $44.60 per Bbl for crude oil and the Henry Hub spot price of $5.71 per MMBtu for gas.
Income Taxes
The following table presents our total income tax expense (benefit) related to continuing operations and a reconciliation of our effective income tax rate to the U.S. statutory income tax rate for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The primary factors causing our effective rates to vary from 2008 to 2009, and differ from the U.S. statutory rate, are discussed below.

Effective income tax rate | | | 30 | % | | | 53 | % | | | (37 | %) | | | 42 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
In the six months ended June 30, 2009, our effective tax rate was impacted by the reductions of carrying value that totaled $6.5 billion and had associated deferred tax benefits of $2.3 billion. Excluding the effects of these reductions, our effective tax rate was 26%.
In both the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008, our effective income tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory income tax rate largely due to two related factors. First, in the second quarter of 2008, we repatriated $1.3 billion in earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries to the United States. Second, we made certain tax policy election changes in the second quarter of 2008 to minimize the taxes we otherwise would pay to all relevant tax jurisdictions for the cash repatriations, as well as the taxable gains associated with the sales of assets in West Africa. As a result of the repatriation and tax policy election changes, we recognized additional tax expense of $312 million during the second quarter of 2008. Of the $312 million, $295 million was recognized as current income tax expense, and $17 million was recognized as deferred tax expense. Excluding the $312 million of additional tax expense, our effective income tax rates would have been 28% for both the second quarter of 2008 and the first half of 2008.
After adjusting for the factors discussed in the two paragraphs above, our 2009 and 2008 effective tax rates were lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate largely due to our foreign operations, which have statutory rates lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate.

Earnings from discontinued operations decreased $690 million in the second quarter of 2009 and decreased $789 million in the first half of 2009. Earnings in 2008 included $647 million of after-tax gains resulting from the sale of our assets in Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and other countries in the second quarter of 2008. Our discontinued earnings in 2008 also included operating earnings generated by the assets prior to their sale dates in the second and third quarters of 2008.

Operating Cash Flow — Continuing Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities (“operating cash flow”) continued to be a significant source of capital and liquidity in the first six months of 2009. Changes in operating cash flow are largely due to the same factors that affect our net earnings, with the exception of those earnings changes due to noncash expenses such as DD&A, property impairments,
39
financial instrument fair value changes and deferred income taxes. Our operating cash flow decreased in 2009 primarily due to the decrease in revenues as discussed in the “Results of Operations” section of this report.
During the first six months of 2009, our operating cash flow funded approximately 65% of our cash payments for capital expenditures. Commercial paper borrowings were used to fund the remainder of our cash-based capital expenditures. During the first six months of 2008, our operating cash flow was sufficient to fund our cash payments for capital expenditures.
Other Sources of Cash
As needed, we utilize cash on hand and access our available credit under our credit facilities and commercial paper program as sources of cash to supplement our operating cash flow. We may also issue long-term debt to supplement our operating cash flow while maintaining adequate liquidity under our credit facilities. Additionally, we sometimes acquire short-term investments to maximize our income on available cash balances. As needed, we may reduce such short-term investment balances to further supplement our operating cash flow.
In January 2009, we issued $500 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2014 and $700 million of 6.30% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2019. The net proceeds received of $1.187 billion, after discounts and issuance costs, were used primarily to repay Devon’s $1.005 billion of outstanding commercial paper as of December 31, 2008.
Subsequent to the $1.0 billion commercial paper repayment in January 2009, we utilized additional commercial paper borrowings of $1.3 billion to fund capital expenditure and dividend payments in excess of our operating cash flow during the first half of 2009.
In 2008, another significant source of cash was the proceeds from our African divestiture program. In the second quarter of 2008, we received $2.4 billion in proceeds ($1.7 billion net of income taxes and purchase price adjustments) for sales of assets located in certain West African countries, including Equatorial Guinea—the largest individual transaction in the divestiture program. Also, in conjunction with these asset sales, we repatriated an additional $1.3 billion of earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries to the United States in the second quarter of 2008.
During the first half of 2008, we used the proceeds from asset sales, repatriated funds and our operating cash flow in excess of capital expenditures to fund debt repayments, common stock repurchases, preferred stock redemptions and dividends on common and preferred stock.
Capital Expenditures
Following are the components of our capital expenditures for the first half of 2009 and 2008. The amounts in the table below reflect cash payments for capital expenditures, including cash paid for capital expenditures incurred in prior quarters. Capital expenditures actually incurred during the first half of 2009 and 2008 were approximately $2.6 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively.

| | | | | | |
Our capital expenditures consist of amounts related to our oil and gas exploration and development operations, our midstream operations and other corporate activities. The vast majority of our capital expenditures are for the acquisition, drilling or development of oil and gas properties, which totaled $3.0 billion and $3.6 billion in the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Capital expenditures for our midstream operations are primarily for the construction and expansion of natural gas processing plants, natural gas pipeline systems and oil pipelines. As we scale back our drilling activities in response to
40
the decline in our operating cash flow, capital expenditures for exploration, development and midstream activities are expected to be lower in the second half of 2009 as compared to the first half.
Our exploration and development capital expenditures decreased $640 million in the first half of 2009. The lower expenditures primarily related to decreased drilling activities in most of our operating areas.
Net Repayments of Debt
During the first half of 2008, we repaid $2.5 billion in outstanding credit facility and commercial paper borrowings primarily with proceeds received from the sales of assets under our African divestiture program and cash generated from operations. Also during the first half of 2008, certain holders of exchangeable debentures exercised their option to exchange their debentures for shares of Chevron common stock prior to the debentures’ August 15, 2008 maturity date. In lieu of delivering shares of Chevron common stock we owned, we exercised our option to pay exchanging debenture holders cash equal to the market value of Chevron common stock. We paid $47 million in cash to debenture holders who exercised their exchange rights in the first half of 2008. This amount included the retirement of debentures with a book value of $28 million and a $19 million reduction of the related embedded derivative option’s balance.
Repurchases of Common Stock
During the first half of 2008, we repurchased 2.8 million common shares for $302 million, or $106.01 per share. The 2.8 million shares include 2.0 million shares that were repurchased under our 50 million share repurchase program and 0.8 million shares that were repurchased under our ongoing, annual stock repurchase program.
Redemption of Preferred Stock
On June 20, 2008, we redeemed all 1.5 million outstanding shares of our 6.49% Series A cumulative preferred stock. Each share of preferred stock was redeemed for cash at a redemption price of $100 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends up to the redemption date.
Dividends
Our common stock dividends were $142 million and $141 million (quarterly rates of $0.16 per share) in the first six months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our preferred dividends were $5 million in the first half of 2008. The elimination of preferred dividends was due to the redemption of our preferred stock in the second quarter of 2008.
Liquidity
Our primary source of capital and liquidity has historically been our operating cash flow and cash on hand. Additionally, we maintain revolving lines of credit and a commercial paper program that can be accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow. Other available sources of capital and liquidity include the issuance of equity securities and long-term debt. We estimate these capital resources will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our planned uses of capital.
Operating Cash Flow
Our operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most volatile of which is pricing of the oil, natural gas and NGLs we produce. Due to sharp declines in commodity prices, our operating cash flow decreased approximately 60% to $2.1 billion in the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008. In spite of this decline, we expect operating cash flow will continue to be a primary source of liquidity. However, based on current commodity prices and near-term price expectations, we also expect that debt borrowings will be a significant source of liquidity during 2009. During the first half of 2009, our net borrowings of long-term debt and commercial paper totaled $1.5 billion. We anticipate we will borrow additional commercial paper during 2009 to assist in funding our capital expenditures and other capital uses.
Credit Lines
As of July 31, 2009, we had $2.0 billion of available capacity under our syndicated, unsecured credit facilities that can be used to supplement our operating cash flow and cash on hand to fund our capital expenditures and other commitments. The following schedule summarizes the capacity of our credit facilities by maturity date, as well as our available capacity as of July 31, 2009.

The credit facilities contain only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon to maintain a ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, of no more than 65%. As of June 30, 2009, Devon was in compliance with this covenant. Devon’s debt-to-capitalization ratio at June 30, 2009, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 21.8%.
Other Capital Resources
We expect the challenging commodity price environment will likely persist throughout the remainder of 2009. As a result, we are continuing to execute the strategy we outlined at the beginning of the year. That strategy is to decrease our activity across our near-term development projects in North America, to continue advancing our longer term development projects like our second Jackfish heavy oil project in Canada and our Lower Tertiary developments in the Gulf of Mexico, and to continue to drive costs lower and to maintain our strong liquidity position until we see signs of recovery in the hydrocarbon markets.
Our successes in the deepwater Lower Tertiary and the Jackfish projects in Canada have resulted in growing long-term development commitments. While these long-term projects provide tremendous opportunity, the increasing share of our capital expenditures directed to these longer-term projects reduces capital available to develop our near-term portfolio. This limits our flexibility to adjust capital expenditures to changes in cash flow, particularly in these times of low commodity prices.
Therefore, we are pursuing a partner to participate in our Lower Tertiary projects in the Gulf of Mexico. The proceeds we may obtain from such a transaction would support the liquidity provided by our operating cash flow and credit lines. Furthermore, our share of the ongoing capital commitments would be reduced, which would provide additional liquidity as well.
Capital Expenditures
In February 2009, we provided guidance for our 2009 capital expenditures. At that time, we estimated total capital expenditures would range from $4.7 billion to $5.4 billion. This estimate is significantly lower than our 2008 capital expenditures, which coincides with the significant decline in current oil, gas and NGL prices, as well as the near-term price expectations. Based upon current oil and natural gas price expectations, we anticipate having adequate capital resources to fund this planned level of 2009 capital expenditures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” Staff Position 132(R)-1 amends FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, to require additional disclosures about the types of assets and associated risks in an employer’s defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. Staff Position 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of Staff Position 132(R)-1 will have on our financial statement disclosures. However, our adoption of Staff Position 132(R)-1 will not affect our current accounting for our pension and postretirement plans.
42
Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting
In December 2008, the SEC adopted revisions to its required oil and gas reporting disclosures. The revisions are intended to provide investors with a more meaningful and comprehensive understanding of oil and gas reserves. In the three decades that have passed since adoption of these disclosure items, there have been significant changes in the oil and gas industry. The amendments are designed to modernize and update the oil and gas disclosure requirements to align them with current practices and changes in technology. In addition, the amendments concurrently align the SEC’s full cost accounting rules with the revised disclosures. The revised disclosure requirements must be incorporated in registration statements filed on or after January 1, 2010, and annual reports on Form 10-K for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. A company may not apply the new rules to disclosures in quarterly reports prior to the first annual report in which the revised disclosures are required.
The following amendments have the greatest likelihood of affecting our reserve disclosures, including the comparability of our reserves disclosures with those of our peer companies:
| • | | Pricing mechanism for oil and gas reserves estimation— The SEC’s current rules require proved reserve estimates to be calculated using prices as of the end of the period and held constant over the life of the reserves. Price changes can be made only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements. The revised rules require reserve estimates to be calculated using a 12-month average price. The 12-month average price will also be used for purposes of calculating the full cost ceiling limitations. Price changes can still be incorporated to the extent defined by contractual arrangements. The use of a 12-month average price rather than a single-day price is expected to reduce the impact on reserve estimates and the full cost ceiling limitations due to short-term volatility and seasonality of prices. |
|
| • | | Reasonable certainty— The SEC’s current definition of “proved oil and gas reserves” incorporate certain specific concepts such as “lowest known hydrocarbons,” which limits the ability to claim proved reserves in the absence of information on fluid contacts in a well penetration, notwithstanding the existence of other engineering and geoscientific evidence. The revised rules amend the definition to permit the use of new reliable technologies to establish the reasonable certainty of proved reserves. This revision also includes provisions for establishing levels of lowest known hydrocarbons and highest known oil through reliable technology other than well penetrations. |
|
| | | The revised rules also amend the definition of proved oil and gas reserves to include reserves located beyond development spacing areas that are immediately adjacent to developed spacing areas if economic producibility can be established with reasonable certainty. These revisions are designed to permit the use of reliable technologies to establish proved reserves in lieu of requiring companies to use specific tests. In addition, they establish a uniform standard of reasonable certainty that applies to all proved reserves, regardless of location or distance from producing wells. |
|
| | | Because the revised rules generally expand the definition of proved reserves, we expect our proved reserve estimates will increase upon adoption of the revised rules. However, we are not able to estimate the magnitude of the potential increase at this time. |
|
| • | | Unproved reserves— The SEC’s current rules prohibit disclosure of reserve estimates other than proved in documents filed with the SEC. The revised rules permit disclosure of probable and possible reserves and provide definitions of probable reserves and possible reserves. Disclosure of probable and possible reserves is optional. However, such disclosures must meet specific requirements. Disclosures of probable or possible reserves must provide the same level of geographic detail as proved reserves and must state whether the reserves are developed or undeveloped. Probable and possible reserve disclosures must also provide the relative uncertainty associated with these classifications of reserves estimations. We have not yet determined whether we will disclose our probable and possible reserves in documents filed with the SEC. |
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Commodity Price Risk
We have various financial price collars to set minimum and maximum prices on a portion of our 2009 gas production. The key terms to the price collars we had entered into prior to the filing of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K are included in Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
43
In addition, subsequent to the preparation of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we entered into additional gas financial price swaps related to a portion of our expected third and fourth quarter 2009 gas production. We also entered into oil financial price collars related to a portion of our expected 2010 oil production. The key terms to these gas and oil financial contracts as of August 3, 2009 are presented in the following tables.

The fair values of our commodity financial hedging instruments are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the Inside FERC Henry Hub and West Texas Intermediate indices. At August 3, 2009, a 10% increase in the forward curves for these two indices would have decreased the fair value of our financial hedging instruments by approximately $48 million.
Interest Rate Risk
At June 30, 2009, we had debt outstanding of $7.4 billion. Of this amount, $6.1 billion, or 82%, bears interest at fixed rates averaging 7.23%. Additionally, we had $1.3 billion of outstanding commercial paper, bearing interest at floating rates that averaged 0.48%.
We also have interest rate swaps to mitigate a portion of the fair value effects of interest rate fluctuations on our fixed-rate debt. The key terms to these interest rate swaps are included in Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition, subsequent to the preparation of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we entered into additional interest rate swaps that have a total notional value of $450 million as of July 31, 2009. These new swaps include a swap with a $100 million notional amount in which we receive a fixed rate of 1.90% and pay a floating rate based upon the Federal funds rate. This swap expires on August 3, 2012. The remainder of the new swaps with a total notional value of $350 million expire on September 30, 2011. Under the terms of these swaps, we will net settle these contracts in September 2011. The net settlement amount will be based upon us paying a weighted-average fixed rate of 3.86% and receiving a floating rate that is based upon the three-month LIBOR. The difference between the fixed and floating rate will be applied to the notional amount for the 30-year period from September 30, 2011 to September 30, 2041.
The fair values of our interest rate instruments are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the Federal Funds Rate and LIBOR. At August 3, 2009, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have increased the fair value of our interest rate derivative instruments by approximately $16 million.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Devon, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify Devon’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
