NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Devon Energy
Corporation (Devon) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States

thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in Devons 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of Devons management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring)
that have been made are necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position of Devon and
its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Certain options to purchase shares of Devons common stock are excluded from the dilution
calculations because the options are antidilutive. During the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2007, 2.1 million and 4.0 million shares were excluded from the diluted
earnings per share calculations, respectively. During both the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2006, 2.6 million shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share
calculations.
Short-term Investments and Other Marketable Securities Change in Accounting Principle
Devon owns approximately 14.2 million shares of Chevron Corporation (Chevron) common stock.
The majority of these shares are held in connection with debt owed by Devon that contains an
exchange option. This exchange option allows the debt holders, prior to the debts maturity, to
exchange the debt for the shares of Chevron common stock owned by Devon.
The shares of Chevron common stock and the exchange option embedded in the debt have always
been recorded on Devons balance sheet at fair value. However, pursuant to accounting rules prior
to January 1, 2007, only the change in fair value of the embedded option has historically been
included in Devons results of operations. Conversely, the change in fair value of the Chevron
common stock has not been included in Devons results of operations, but instead has been recorded
directly to stockholders equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Effective January 1, 2007, Devon adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 115. Statement No. 159 allows a company the option to value its financial assets
and liabilities, on an instrument by instrument basis, at fair value, and include the change in
fair value of such assets and liabilities in its results of operations. Devon chose to apply the
provisions of Statement No. 159 to its shares of Chevron common stock. Accordingly, beginning with
the first quarter of 2007, the change in fair value of the Chevron common stock owned by Devon,
along with the change in fair value of the related exchange option, are both included in Devons
results of operations.
In the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, the change in fair value
of financial instruments caption on Devons statements of operations includes unrealized gains of
$133 million and $285 million, respectively, related to the Chevron common stock, and unrealized
losses of $111 million and $255 million, respectively, related to the embedded option. In the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, prior to adopting Statement No. 159,
unrealized losses of $22 million and $83 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value
of the embedded option were included in the change in fair value of financial instruments caption
on Devons statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2006, $364 million of after-tax unrealized gains related to Devons
investment in the Chevron common stock was included in accumulated other comprehensive income. This
is the amount of unrealized gains that, prior to Devons adoption of Statement No. 159, had not
been recorded in Devons historical results of operations. Upon the adoption of Statement No. 159
as of January 1, 2007, this $364 million of unrealized gains was reclassified on Devons balance
sheet from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.
In conjunction with the adoption of Statement No. 159, Devon also adopted on January 1, 2007
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. Statement No. 157
provides a common definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value
measurements. The adoption of Statement No. 157 had no impact on Devons financial statements, but
it did result in additional required disclosures as set forth in Note 7.
Income Taxes Change in Accounting Principle
Devon and its subsidiaries are subject to current income taxes assessed by the federal and
various state jurisdictions in the United States and by other foreign jurisdictions. In addition,
Devon accounts for deferred
income taxes related to these jurisdictions using the asset and
12
DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
liability method. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the future
tax benefits attributable to the expected utilization of existing tax net operating loss
carryforwards and other types of carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date.
At September 30, 2007, undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries included in continuing
operations were determined to be permanently reinvested. Therefore, no U.S. deferred income taxes
were provided on such amounts at September 30, 2007. If it becomes apparent that some or all of the
undistributed earnings will be distributed, Devon would then record taxes on those earnings.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.
Interpretation No. 48 prescribes a threshold for recognizing the financial statement effects of a
tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will
be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Recognized tax positions are initially and
subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not of being
realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Liabilities for unrecognized tax
benefits related to such tax positions are included in other long-term liabilities unless the tax
position is expected to be settled within the upcoming year, in which case the liabilities are
included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits are included in income tax expense.
On January 1, 2007, Devon adopted Interpretation No. 48 and recorded a $10 million reduction
to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings related to unrecognized tax benefits. The $10
million includes $8 million for related interest and penalties. An additional $2 million of
liabilities were recorded with a corresponding increase to goodwill.
As a result of the adoption of Interpretation No. 48, certain liabilities included in income
taxes payable and deferred income taxes were reclassified to other current and long-term
liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. The total $12 million increase in liabilities
included a $15 million increase to long-term liabilities, partially offset by a $3 million
reduction to current liabilities.
As of January 1, 2007, Devons unrecognized tax benefits were $114 million. This amount
included $82 million that, if recognized, would affect Devons effective income tax rate.
Included below is a summary of the tax years, by jurisdiction, that remain subject to
examination by taxing authorities.

Devon is currently in the final stages of the administrative review process for certain open
tax years. In addition, certain statute of limitation expirations are scheduled to occur in the
next twelve months. Due to these factors, Devon anticipates it is reasonably possible that
liabilities for certain tax positions will decrease between $15 million and $25 million within the
next twelve months.

On November 14, 2006, Devon announced that it intended to divest its operations in Egypt.
Devon closed the sale of its Egyptian properties on October 4, 2007. Also, on January 23, 2007,
Devon announced that it intends to divest its operations in West Africa. See Note 11 for more
discussion regarding these divestiture activities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, Devon recognized a $311 million and
$135 million revision to its ARO, respectively. The primary factors causing the 2007 fair value
increase were an overall increase in abandonment cost estimates and an increase in the assumed
inflation rate. The effect of these factors was partially offset by the effect of an increase in
the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the obligations. The primary factor
causing the 2006 fair value increase was an overall increase in abandonment cost estimates.
3. Debt
Senior Credit Facility
In April 2007, Devon extended the maturity of its existing $2.5 billion five-year, syndicated,
unsecured revolving line of credit (the Senior Credit Facility) from April 7, 2011 to April 7,
2012.
The Senior Credit Facility contains 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 September 30, 2007, Devon was in compliance with this
covenant. Devons debt-to-capitalization ratio at September 30, 2007, as calculated pursuant to the
terms of the agreement, was 24.8%.
As of September 30, 2007, Devon had $400 million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior
Credit Facility at an average rate of 5.85%. The available capacity under the Senior Credit
Facility as of September 30, 2007, net of these borrowings as well as $1.7 billion of outstanding
commercial paper and $280 million of outstanding letters of credit, was approximately $128 million.
Short-Term Credit Facility
On August 7, 2007, Devon established a new $1.5 billion 364-day, syndicated, unsecured
revolving senior credit facility (the Short-Term Facility). This new facility provides Devon with
provisional interim liquidity until it receives the proceeds from divestitures of assets in Africa
(see Note 11). The Short-Term Facility was also used to support an increase in Devons commercial
paper program from $2 billion to $3.5 billion.
14
DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Short-Term Facility matures 364 days from the closing date. On the maturity date, all
amounts outstanding will be due and payable at that time unless the maturity is extended. Prior to
the maturity date, Devon has the option to convert any outstanding principal amount of loans under
the Short-Term Facility to a term loan which will be repayable in a single payment 364 days from
the maturity date.
Amounts borrowed under the Short-Term Facility bear interest at various fixed rate options for
periods of up to 12 months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate. Devon may also elect
to borrow at the prime rate. The Short-Term Facility currently provides for an annual facility fee
of approximately $1.0 million that is payable quarterly in arrears.
The agreement governing the Short-Term Facility contains substantially the same covenants and
restrictions as Devons existing Senior Credit Facility, including a maximum allowed
debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as defined in the agreement.
As of September 30, 2007, there were no amounts borrowed under the Short-Term Facility, and
the available capacity was $1.5 billion.
Commercial Paper
As of September 30, 2007, Devon had $1.7 billion of outstanding commercial paper at an average
rate of 5.66%.
Exchangeable Debentures
During the third quarter of 2007, certain holders of exchangeable debentures exercised their
option to convert their debentures prior to the August 15, 2008 maturity date. Devon has the option
to settle conversions of the exchangeable debentures with either shares of Chevron common stock or
cash equal to the market value of Chevron common stock at the time of conversion. Devon paid $166
million in cash to settle the conversions in the third quarter of 2007. As a result of the $166
million payment, Devon retired outstanding exchangeable debentures totaling $104 million as well as
the related embedded derivative option with a value of $62 million.
As of September 30, 2007, the Chevron exchangeable debentures are due within one year.
However, Devon continues to classify this debt as long-term because it has the intent and ability
to refinance these debentures on a long-term basis with the available capacity under its existing
credit facilities or other long-term financing arrangements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of
FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). Statement No. 158 requires the measurement of plan
assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end, beginning with
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Although not required until 2008, Devon adopted this
measurement-date requirement in the second quarter of 2007 and is changing its measurement date
from November 30 to December 31. As a result, Devon used data as of December 31, 2006 to remeasure
its plans assets and benefit obligations previously measured using data as of November 30, 2006. As
a result of the remeasurement, Devon recognized the following amounts in the second quarter of
2007.

Revisions to Retirement Plans
Devon has various noncontributory defined benefit pension plans, including qualified and
nonqualified plans (Defined Benefit Plans), that provide defined levels of benefits to its
domestic employees. Devon also has a 401(k) Incentive Savings Plan (401(k) Plan) that covers its
domestic employees. Benefits under the 401(k) Plan consist of a discretionary match of a percentage
of employees contributions to the 401(k) Plan.
In the second quarter of 2007, Devon adopted an enhanced defined contribution structure
related to the 401(k) Plan to be effective January 1, 2008. Participants in this enhanced defined
contribution structure will continue to receive a discretionary match of a percentage of their
contributions to the 401(k) Plan. These participants will also receive additional, nondiscretionary
contributions by Devon calculated as a percentage of annual compensation. The percentage will vary
based on the employees years of service.
On or before November 15, 2007, existing eligible employees will elect to either continue to
participate in the Defined Benefit Plan or participate in the enhanced defined contribution
structure of the 401(k) Plan. Employees who continue to participate in the Defined Benefit Plans
will continue to accrue benefits under the existing provisions of the Defined Benefit Plans.
Employees who elect to participate in the enhanced defined contribution structure will receive
enhanced contributions to the 401(k) Plan and will retain the benefits which they have
accrued under the Defined Benefit Plan as of December 31, 2007. However, such employees will
only be entitled to the
16
DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
benefits which have accrued in the Defined Benefit Plans as of December 31,
2007, after all applicable vesting requirements have been met. Employees hired on or after October
1, 2007 will not have an election and will only participate in the 401(k) Plan and the enhanced
defined contribution structure.
The effect the employee elections will have on Devons benefit obligations and related
expenses will not be known until such elections are made with respect to the Defined Benefit Plans.
However, based upon the most likely employee election scenarios, Devon expects that the effect,
including any accelerated recognition of obligations of the Defined Benefit Plans, will be
immaterial to its financial statements.
5. Stockholders Equity
Stock Repurchases
In August 2005, Devons Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program to repurchase
up to 50 million shares of Devons common stock. This program was suspended in 2006 as a result of
the $2.0 billion acquisition of oil and gas properties from Chief Holdings LLC (Chief) in June
2006. Prior to the suspension of the program and as of September 30, 2007, Devon had repurchased
6.5 million shares under this program for $387 million, or $59.80 per share. Although this program
expires at the end of 2007, it could be extended. Should the Board of Directors elect to extend
this repurchase program beyond the end of 2007, management expects to resume repurchases in
conjunction with the closings of the planned sales of Devons operations in West Africa (see Note
11).
On June 6, 2007, Devons Board of Directors approved an ongoing, annual stock repurchase
program to offset dilution resulting from restricted stock issued to, and options exercised by,
employees. The new repurchase program authorizes the repurchase of up to 4.5 million shares in 2007
and is in addition to the repurchase program described above. As of September 30, 2007, Devon had
repurchased 1.8 million shares under the new program for $136 million, or $77.49 per share.
Dividends
Dividends on Devons common stock were paid in 2007 and 2006 at quarterly per share rates of
$0.14 and $0.1125, respectively.
6. 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 which can be reasonably estimated are accrued.
Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Devons 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 Devons
financial position or results of operations after consideration of recorded accruals although
actual amounts could differ materially from managements 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 Devons 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.
17
DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Certain of Devons subsidiaries acquired in past mergers 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 September 30, 2007, Devons consolidated balance sheet included $4 million of
non-current accrued liabilities, reflected in Other 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, Devons conclusion is based in large part on (i) Devons 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 a de minimis PRP, and (iii) the availability of other defenses to
liability. As a result, Devons monetary exposure is not expected to be material.
Royalty Matters
Numerous 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 natural gas liquids produced and sold from federal and Indian owned or controlled
lands. The principal suit in which Devon is a defendant is United 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
the 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. A defendant other than Devon is set for
trial in August 2008. The next phase trial is set for February 2009. Defendants, other than Devon,
were selected for this trial. 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 in association with this lawsuit and
no liability has been recorded in connection therewith.
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 natural 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 MMS in 2006 informed Devon and other oil and gas companies that the omission of
price thresholds from these leases was an error on its part and was not its intention. Accordingly,
the MMS invited Devon and the other affected oil and gas producers to renegotiate the terms and
conditions of the 1998 and 1999 leases to add price threshold provisions to the lease agreements
for periods after October 1, 2006. Devon has since had several discussions with MMS representatives
on this issue, but has not yet entered into renegotiated leases.
The U.S. House of Representatives in January 2007 and July 2007 passed legislation that would
require companies to renegotiate the 1998 and 1999 leases as a condition of securing future federal
leases. If this legislation were to become law, it would require price thresholds to be effective
in the renegotiated 1998 and 1999 leases effective October 1, 2006. Although Devon has not yet
signed renegotiated leases, it has accrued through September 30, 2007 approximately $21 million for
royalties that would be due if price thresholds were added to its 1998 and 1999 leases effective
October 1, 2006.
Canadian Royalties
On October 25, 2007, the Alberta government proposed increases to the royalty rates on oil and
natural gas production beginning in 2009. Devon believes this proposal would reduce future earnings
and cash flows from its oil and gas properties located in Alberta. Additionally, assuming all other
factors are equal, higher royalty rates
would likely result in lower levels of capital investment in Alberta relative to Devons other
areas of operation.

However, the magnitude of the potential impact, which will depend on the final
form of enacted legislation and other factors which impact the relative expected economic returns
of capital projects, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Equatorial Guinea Investigation
The SEC has been conducting an inquiry into payments made to the government of Equatorial
Guinea and to officials and persons affiliated with officials of the government of Equatorial
Guinea. On August 9, 2005, Devon received a subpoena issued by the SEC pursuant to a formal order
of investigation. Devon has cooperated fully with the SECs requests for information in this
inquiry. After responding in 2005 to such requests for information, Devon has not been contacted by
the SEC. In the event that Devon receives any further inquiries, Devon will work with the SEC in
connection with its investigation.
Hurricane Contingencies
Historically, Devon maintained a comprehensive insurance program that included coverage for
physical damage to its offshore facilities caused by hurricanes. Devons historical insurance
program also included substantial business interruption coverage which Devon is utilizing
to recover costs associated with the suspended production related to hurricanes that struck the
Gulf of Mexico in the third quarter of 2005. Under the terms of this insurance program, Devon was
entitled to be reimbursed for the portion of production suspended longer than forty-five days,
subject to upper limits to oil and natural gas prices. Also, the terms of the insurance include a
standard, per-event deductible of $1 million for offshore losses as well as a $15 million aggregate
annual deductible.
Based on current estimates of physical damage and the anticipated length of time Devon will
have production suspended, Devon expects its policy recoveries will exceed repair costs and
deductible amounts. This expectation is based upon several variables, including the $467 million
received in the third quarter of 2006 as a full settlement of the amount due from Devons primary
insurers and $13 million received in the second quarter of 2007 as a full settlement of the amount
due from certain of Devons secondary insurers. Devon continues to negotiate with its other
secondary insurers and expects to receive additional policy recoveries as a result of such
negotiations. As of September 30, 2007, $281 million of these proceeds had been utilized as
reimbursement of past repair costs and deductible amounts. The remaining proceeds of $199 million
are expected to be utilized as reimbursement of Devons anticipated future repair costs.
Should Devons total policy recoveries, including settlements already received from Devons
primary and secondary insurers, exceed all repair costs and deductible amounts, such excess will be
recognized as other income in the statement of operations in the period in which such determination
can be made.
The policy underlying the insurance program terms described above expired on August 31, 2006.
During the third quarter of 2006 and again in the third quarter of 2007, Devon was able to
re-establish a comprehensive insurance program that includes business interruption and physical
damage coverage for its business. However, due to significant changes in the marketplace, Devon was
only able to obtain a de minimis amount of coverage for any damage that may be caused by named
windstorms in the Gulf of Mexico. Devon has not experienced any windstorm losses covered by the new
insurance arrangements through September 30, 2007.

Statement No. 157 (see Note 1) establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the table above, this hierarchy
consists of three broad levels. Level 1 inputs on the hierarchy consist of unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 3
inputs have the lowest priority.
Devon uses appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair
values of its assets and liabilities. When available, Devon measures fair value using Level 1
inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value. Devon owes debt
that has an embedded exchange option. Because the exchange option is not actively traded in an
established market, its fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs. Devon also has certain
commodity and interest-rate derivative financial instruments which are measured using Level 2
inputs, such as forward commodity price curves or interest-rate yield curves. Devon only uses Level
3 inputs to measure the fair value of its ARO. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending
balances of Devons ARO, including a revision of the fair value in 2007, is presented in Note 2.

As a result of a decline in projected future net cash flows, the carrying value of Devons
Russian properties exceeded the ceiling by $10 million in the third quarter of 2006. Therefore, in
the third quarter of 2006, Devon recognized a $20 million reduction of the carrying value of its
oil and gas properties in Russia, offset by a $10 million deferred income tax benefit.
During the second quarter of 2006, Devon drilled two unsuccessful exploratory wells in Brazil
and determined that the capitalized costs related to these two wells should be impaired. Therefore,
in the second quarter of 2006, Devon recognized a $16 million impairment of its investment in
Brazil equal to the costs to drill the two dry holes and a proportionate share of block-related
costs. There was no tax benefit related to this impairment. The two wells were unrelated to Devons
Polvo development project in Brazil.
See Note 11 for information related to reductions of carrying value of oil and gas properties
included in discontinued operations.

11. Discontinued Operations
Egypt and West Africa
On November 14, 2006, Devon announced its plans to divest its operations in Egypt. On January
23, 2007, Devon announced its plans to divest its operations in West Africa. Pursuant to accounting
rules for discontinued operations, Devon has classified all 2007 and prior period amounts related
to its operations in Egypt and West Africa as discontinued operations.
On October 4, 2007, Devon closed the sale of its Egyptian operations and received proceeds of
$341 million. As a result of this sale, Devon will record an after-tax gain related to this
transaction of approximately $130 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

approvals for the properties in the West African divestiture package. Devon expects to
complete these sales during the first half of 2008.
Revenues related to Devons operations in Egypt and West Africa totaled $206 million and $223
million in the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006 and $596 million and
$707 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

Reduction of Carrying Value
Based on recent drilling activities in Nigeria, Devon reduced the carrying value of its
Nigerian assets held for sale in the second quarter of 2007. As a result, earnings from
discontinued operations in the nine months ended 2007 include a $13 million after-tax loss ($64
million pre-tax).
As a result of unsuccessful exploratory activities in Egypt during the third quarter of 2006,
the net book value of Devons Egyptian oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes,
exceeded the ceiling by $18 million as of September 30, 2006. Therefore, in the third quarter of
2006, Devon recognized a $13 million after-tax loss Egypt ($31 million pre-tax).
Due to unsuccessful drilling activities in Nigeria, in the first quarter of 2006, Devon
recognized an $85 million impairment of its investment in Nigeria equal to the costs to drill two
dry holes and a proportionate share of block-related costs. There was no income tax benefit related
to this impairment.
12. Income Taxes
During the second quarter of 2007, the Canadian Federal government enacted a statutory rate
reduction. As a result of this rate reduction, Devon recorded a $30 million deferred tax benefit in
such quarter.

14. Subsequent Event Master Limited Partnership
Devon announced on July 18, 2007 its plan to form a new, publicly traded master limited
partnership (MLP). The proposed MLP was expected to initially own a minority interest in Devons
U.S. onshore marketing and midstream business. On November 7, 2007, Devon announced that it had
decided not to proceed at this time with its plans to form this MLP. This decision was based
primarily on a change in public market conditions for MLPs and other yield-driven investments
subsequent to Devons announcement of the proposed MLP.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The following discussion addresses material changes in our results of operations for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, and in our financial condition since December 31,
2006. It is presumed that readers have read or have access to our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K
which includes disclosures regarding critical accounting policies as part of Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Unless otherwise stated,
all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Overview
The following summarizes our performance for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2007 compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006:
|
|
|
Net earnings and earnings per share both increased 4% and 1% during the third quarter of
2007 and the first nine months of 2007, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $227 million, or 5%, during the
first nine months of 2007. |
|
|
|
|
Production increased 10% to 618 thousand barrels per day for the third quarter of 2007
and increased 12% to 608 thousand barrels per day for the first nine months of 2007. |
|
|
|
|
Combined realized price for oil, gas and NGLs increased 2% and 1% for the third quarter
of 2007 and the first nine months of 2007, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
Marketing and midstream operating profit increased 19% and 7% during the third quarter
of 2007 and the first nine months of 2007, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
Per unit operating costs increased 15% and 14% for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2007, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
Capital expenditures for oil and gas exploration and development activities were $1.4
billion during the third quarter of 2007 and $4.1 billion during the first nine months of
2007. |
On November 14, 2006, we announced our plans to divest our operations in Egypt. On January 23,
2007, we announced our plans to divest our operations in West Africa. Pursuant to accounting rules
for discontinued operations, we have classified all 2007 and prior period amounts related to our
operations in Egypt and West Africa as discontinued operations.
On October 4, 2007, we closed the sale of our Egyptian operations and received proceeds of
$341 million. As a result of this sale, we will record an after-tax gain related to this
transaction of approximately $130 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.
We are finalizing purchase and sales agreements and obtaining the necessary partner and
government approvals for the properties in the West African divestiture package. We expect to
complete these sales during the first half of 2008.
On October 25, 2007, the Alberta government proposed increases to the royalty rates on oil and
natural gas production beginning in 2009. We believe this proposal would reduce future earnings and
cash flows from our oil and gas properties located in Alberta. Additionally, assuming all other
factors are equal, higher royalty rates would likely result in lower levels of capital investment
in Alberta relative to our other areas of operation. However, the magnitude of the potential
impact, which will depend on the final form of enacted legislation and other factors which impact
the relative expected economic returns of capital projects, cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.
A more complete overview and discussion of full-year expectations can be found in Item 7.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2006
Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 7, 2007.

Gas volumes are converted to Boe or MMBoe at the rate of six Mcf of gas per barrel
of oil, based upon the approximate relative energy content of natural gas and oil, which rate
is not necessarily indicative of the relationship of oil and gas prices. NGL volumes are
converted to Boe on a one-to-one basis with oil. |

The average gas sales price with the effect of hedges includes both the effect due
to unrealized losses and the effect due to cash settlements on our hedging contracts.
Excluding an unrealized loss of $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and
an unrealized loss of $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our average
realized gas sales price would have been $5.34 and $6.00, respectively. |

The average gas sales price with the effect of hedges includes both the effect due
to unrealized gains and the effect due to cash settlements on our hedging contracts. Excluding
an unrealized gain of $5 million for both the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2006, our average realized gas sales price would have been $5.61 and $6.18, respectively. |
The following tables summarize the changes in our oil, gas and NGL revenues between the three
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Oil Revenues
Production increases of 23% and 35% in the third quarter of 2007 and first nine months of 2007
were the primary causes of our increased oil revenues in these periods. The increased 2007
production was primarily from our properties in Azerbaijan where we achieved payout of certain
carried interests in the last half of 2006. The remainder of the 2007 increases were primarily
related to increased production from our Lloydminster area in Canada.
Gas Revenues
A 13 Bcf increase in production caused gas revenues to increase by $67 million during the
third quarter of 2007. Our drilling and development program in the Barnett Shale field in north
Texas contributed 17 Bcf to the gas production increase. This increase and the effect of new
drilling and development in our other North American properties were partially offset by natural
production declines.
A 38 Bcf increase in production caused gas revenues to increase by $230 million during the
first nine months of 2007. Our drilling and development program in the Barnett Shale field in north
Texas contributed 36 Bcf to the gas production increase. The June 2006 Chief Holdings LLC (Chief)
acquisition also contributed 12 Bcf of increased production. These increases and the effect of new
drilling and development in our other North American properties were partially offset by natural
production declines.
Marketing and Midstream Revenues and Operating Costs and Expenses
The following table details the changes in our marketing and midstream revenues and operating
costs and expenses between the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The changes due to prices in the table represent the effect on
both revenues and expenses due to changes in the market prices for natural gas and NGLs.

Volume increases in our third-party crude oil and NGL marketing activities caused both
revenues and expenses to increase in the third quarter of 2007 and first nine months of 2007. Lower
natural gas prices partially offset by higher NGL prices caused revenues and expenses to decrease
in the third quarter of 2007 and the first nine months of 2007.

All percentage changes included in this table are based on actual figures and are
not calculated using the rounded figures included in this table. |
Lease operating expenses increased $94 million and $290 million in the third quarter of 2007
and the first nine months of 2007 largely due to the continued effects of higher commodity prices.
Commodity price increases in 2005 and the first nine months of 2006 contributed to industry-wide
inflationary pressures on materials and personnel costs. Although commodity prices have somewhat
stabilized compared to the first nine months of 2006, demand for materials, equipment and personnel
continued to increase subsequent to September 30, 2006. In addition, consideration of continued
higher commodity prices contributed to our decision to perform more well workovers and maintenance
projects in 2007 to maintain or improve production volumes.
Lease operating expenses also increased $16 million and $77 million in the third quarter of
2007 and the first nine months ended 2007, respectively, as a result of payouts of our carried
interests in Azerbaijan in the last half of 2006. The June 2006 Chief acquisition also increased
our lease operating expenses by $15 million in the first nine months ended 2007. Our 10% and 12%
production growth in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007, respectively, were also
key contributors to the increase in our lease operating expenses. Furthermore, changes in the
exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar also caused lease operating expenses to increase
$12 million and $13 million in the third quarter of 2007 and the first nine months of 2007,
respectively.
The following table details the changes in production taxes between the three months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Our lower production tax rates in 2007 are primarily due to the increase in Azerbaijan
revenues subsequent to the payouts of our carried interests in Azerbaijan in the last half of 2006.
Our Azerbaijan revenues are not subject to production taxes. Therefore, the increased revenues
generated in Azerbaijan in 2007 caused our overall rate of production taxes to decrease.

Oil and gas property related DD&A increased $105 million in the third quarter of 2007 due to
an increase in the DD&A rate from $10.55 per Boe to $12.41 per Boe. Oil and gas property related
DD&A increased $273 million in the first nine months of 2007 due to an increase in the DD&A rate
from $10.03 per Boe to $11.67 per Boe. The largest contributor to the rate increases were
inflationary pressure on both the costs incurred during 2006 and 2007 as well as the estimated
development costs to be spent in future periods on proved undeveloped reserves. Rising estimates
for future asset retirement obligations also caused the rate to increase. Other factors
contributing to the rate increase include the transfer of previously unproved costs to the
depletable base as a result of drilling activities subsequent to September 30, 2006 and the effects
of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar.

Gross G&A increased $49 million and $147 million in the third quarter and first nine months of
2007, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2006. Higher employee compensation and benefits
costs related to our growth and industry inflation caused gross G&A to increase $37 million and
$110 million, respectively. The $25 million and $68 million increases in capitalized G&A during the
third quarter and first nine months of 2007, respectively, are also primarily due to higher
employee compensation and benefits costs.

Interest based on debt outstanding increased in the first nine months of 2007 primarily due to
the effect of commercial paper borrowings related to the June 2006 acquisition of the Chief
properties. This increase was partially offset by the effect of $680 million of debt maturities in
the last half of 2006.
Capitalized interest in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2007 increased
primarily due to costs related to our Jackfish development project and the related Access Pipeline
in Canada, as well as development projects in the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil.

The change in the fair value of the embedded option relates to the debentures exchangeable
into shares of Chevron common stock. These expenses were caused primarily by increases in the
price of Chevrons common stock.
During the third quarter of 2007, certain holders of exchangeable debentures exercised their
option to convert their debentures prior to the August 15, 2008 maturity date. We have the option
to settle conversions of the exchangeable debentures with either shares of Chevron common stock or
cash equal to the market value of Chevron common stock at the time of conversion. We paid $166
million in cash to settle the conversions in the third quarter of 2007. As a result of the $166
million payment, we retired outstanding exchangeable debentures totaling $104 million as well as
the related embedded derivative option with a value of $62 million.
As discussed in Note 1 to our financial statements, effective January 1, 2007 as a result of
our adoption of Statement No. 159, we began recognizing unrealized gains and losses on our
investment in Chevron common stock in net earnings rather than as part of other comprehensive
income. The change in the fair value of our investment in Chevron common stock resulted from
increases in the price of Chevrons common stock during the third quarter and first nine months of
2007.

As a result of a decline in projected future net cash flows, our Russian properties exceeded
the ceiling by $10 million in the third quarter of 2006. Therefore, in the third quarter of 2006,
we recognized a $20 million reduction of the carrying value of our oil and gas properties in
Russia, offset by a $10 million deferred income tax benefit.
During the second quarter of 2006, we drilled two unsuccessful exploratory wells in Brazil and
determined that the capitalized costs related to these two wells should be impaired. Therefore, in
the second quarter of 2006, we recognized a $16 million impairment of our investment in Brazil
equal to the costs to drill the two dry holes and a proportionate share of block-related costs.
There was no tax benefit related to this impairment. The two wells were unrelated to our Polvo
development project in Brazil.

The decrease in interest and dividend income in the first nine months of 2007 were primarily
due to a decrease in interest-bearing cash and short-term investment balances subsequent to the
June 2006 Chief acquisition.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 33% in the third quarter of 2007 and 28% in the third quarter of
2006. The effective tax rate was 31% in the first nine months of 2007 and 25% in the first nine
months of 2006.
The rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 were lower than the statutory
federal tax rate primarily due to the effects of certain U.S. and Canadian deductions. The 2007
rates were further lowered due to the increase in revenues generated in Azerbaijan, whose statutory
rate is 25%, and the effect of a statutory rate reduction enacted by the Canadian Federal
government in the second quarter of 2007. As a result of the 2007 Canadian rate reduction, we
recorded a $30 million tax benefit in such quarter.
36
The rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 were lower than the statutory
federal tax rate primarily due to the effects of tax law changes. During the second quarter of
2006, the Canadian Federal and Alberta provincial governments enacted statutory rate reductions. As
a result, we recorded a $243 million deferred tax benefit in such quarter. Also during the second
quarter of 2006, the state of Texas enacted a new income-based tax that replaces a previous
franchise tax. The new tax is effective January 1, 2007. As a result of the enactment of the tax in
the second quarter of 2006, we recorded $39 million of deferred tax expense in such quarter. In
addition, in the third quarter of 2006 we recognized an $11 million deferred tax benefit related to
the expected utilization of a net operating loss carryforward that has been generated in Brazil.
Earnings from Discontinued Operations
On November 14, 2006, we announced our plans to divest our operations in Egypt. On January 23,
2007, we announced our plans to divest our operations in West Africa. Pursuant to accounting rules
for discontinued operations, we have classified all 2007 and prior period amounts related to our
operations in Egypt and West Africa as discontinued operations.
On October 4, 2007, we closed the sale of our Egyptian operations and received proceeds of
$341 million. As a result of this sale, we will record an after-tax gain related to this
transaction of approximately $130 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.
We are finalizing purchase and sales agreements and obtaining the necessary partner and
government approvals for the properties in the West African divestiture package. We expect to
complete these sales during the first half of 2008.
Following are the components of earnings from discontinued operations for the three months
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Earnings from discontinued operations increased $39 million in the third quarter of 2007
primarily due to the net effect of the following factors. First, pursuant to accounting rules for
discontinued operations, we ceased recording DD&A in November 2006 for our Egypt property and
equipment and in January 2007 for our West Africa property and equipment. During the third quarter
of 2006, we recorded $57 million of DD&A associated with these properties. Second, as a result of
unsuccessful exploratory activities in Egypt during 2005 and 2006, the net book value of our
Egyptian oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, exceeded the calculated full
cost ceiling by $18 million as of September 30, 2006. Therefore, in the third quarter of 2006, we
recognized a $31 million reduction of the book value of our oil and gas properties in Egypt, offset
by a $13 million deferred income tax benefit. The after-tax increase in earnings caused by these
factors was partially offset by a decrease due to a decline in production.
Earnings from discontinued operations increased $116 million in the first nine months of 2007
primarily due to the net effect of the following factors. First, during the first nine months of
2006, we recorded $187 million of DD&A associated with our Egypt and West Africa properties. In
addition, due to unsuccessful drilling activities in Nigeria, in the first quarter of 2006, we
recognized an $85 million impairment of our investment in Nigeria equal to the costs to drill two
dry holes and a proportionate share of block-related costs. There was no income tax benefit related
to this impairment. The after-tax increase in earnings caused by these factors was partially offset
by a
37
decrease due to a decline in production. Additionally, based on recent drilling activities in
Nigeria, we reduced the carrying value of our Nigerian assets held for sale in the second quarter
of 2007. As a result, earnings from discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2007
include a $13 million after-tax loss ($64 million pre-tax).

Operating Cash Flow Continuing Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities (operating cash flow) continued to be the primary
source of capital and liquidity in the first nine months of 2007. 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 such noncash expenses as DD&A, financial instrument fair value changes,
property impairments and deferred income tax expense. As a result, our operating cash flow
increased in 2007 primarily due to the increase in earnings as discussed in the Results of
Operations section of this report.
Additionally, during 2007 and 2006, operating cash flow was primarily used to fund our capital
expenditures. Excluding the June 2006 $2.0 billion Chief acquisition, our operating cash flow was
sufficient to fund our 2007 and 2006 capital expenditures.
38
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.
Additionally, we invest in highly liquid, 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.
During 2007, we borrowed $0.4 billion under our unsecured revolving line of credit and reduced
our short-term investment balances by $0.2 billion. These sources of cash combined with our
operating cash flow in excess of capital expenditures were primarily used to fund long-term debt
repayments, net commercial paper repayments, common stock repurchases and dividends on common and
preferred stock.
As of September 30, 2007, our credit facility borrowings had an average interest rate of 5.85%
and our commercial paper borrowings had an average interest rate of 5.66%.
During 2006, we borrowed $1.4 billion under our commercial paper program and reduced our
short-term investment balances by $0.6 billion. These sources of cash were largely used to fund the
$2.0 billion acquisition of Chief in June 2006. Also during 2006, we supplemented operating cash
flow with cash on hand. Our operating cash flow in excess of capital expenditures, excluding Chief,
and cash on hand were primarily used to fund scheduled long-term debt maturities, common stock
repurchases and dividends on common and preferred stock.
Capital Expenditures
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 $4.1 billion and $5.7 billion in the first nine months of 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The 2006 capital expenditures include $2.0 billion related to the acquisition of the
Chief properties. Excluding the Chief acquisition, the increase in such capital expenditures is
primarily due to an increase in drilling and development in the Barnett Shale field in north Texas.
Additionally, capital expenditures also increased from our properties in Azerbaijan where we
achieved payout of certain carried interests in the last half of 2006.
Our 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. These
midstream facilities exist primarily to support our oil and gas development operations. Such
expenditures were $254 million and $228 million in the first nine months of 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The majority of our 2007 and 2006 expenditures related to development activities in
the Barnett Shale, the Woodford Shale in eastern Oklahoma and Jackfish in Canada.
Debt Repayments
During the third quarter of 2007, certain holders of exchangeable debentures exercised their
option to convert their debentures prior to the August 15, 2008 maturity date. We have the option
to settle conversions of the exchangeable debentures with either shares of Chevron common stock or
cash equal to the market value of Chevron common stock at the time of conversion. We paid $166
million in cash to settle the conversions in the third quarter of 2007.
During 2006, we retired the $500 million 2.75% notes and the $178 million ($200 million
Canadian) 6.55% debt on their scheduled maturity dates. We also repaid $180 million of debt
acquired in the Chief acquisition.
Repurchases of Common Stock
On June 6, 2007, our Board of Directors approved an ongoing, annual stock repurchase program
to offset dilution resulting from restricted stock issued to, and options exercised by, employees.
The new repurchase
program authorizes the repurchase of up to 4.5 million shares in 2007 and is in addition to
our 50 million share repurchase program approved in August 2005.
39
During the first nine months of 2007, we repurchased 1.8 million shares at a cost of $136
million under the program authorized in June 2007. Included in the $136 million is $3 million for
unsettled purchases as of September 30, 2007. During the first nine months of 2006, we repurchased
4.2 million shares at a cost of $253 million under the program authorized in August 2005.
Dividends
Our common stock dividends were $186 million and $148 million in the first nine months of 2007
and 2006, respectively. We also paid $7 million of preferred stock dividends in 2007 and 2006. The
2007 increase in common stock dividends was primarily related to a 25% increase in the quarterly
dividend rate in the first quarter of 2007.
Liquidity
Our primary source of capital and liquidity has been our operating cash flow. Additionally, we
maintain revolving lines of credit and a commercial paper program which can be accessed as needed
to supplement operating cash flow. Other available sources of capital and liquidity include cash
and short-term investments on hand and the issuance of equity securities and long-term debt.
Another major source of near-term liquidity will be proceeds from the sales of our operations in
Egypt and West Africa.
Operating Cash Flow
We expect operating cash flow to continue to be our primary source of liquidity. Our operating
cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most volatile of which is pricing of the oil, natural
gas and NGLs produced. To mitigate some of the risk inherent in prices, we have utilized price
collars to set minimum and maximum prices on a portion of our production. We have also utilized
various price swap contracts and fixed-price physical delivery contracts. Based on contracts
currently in place, approximately 5% of our estimated 2007 natural gas production from continuing
operations (3% of our total oil, gas and NGL production from continuing operations) is subject to
either price collars, swaps or fixed-price contracts.
Credit Lines
In April 2007, we extended the maturity of our existing $2.5 billion five-year, syndicated,
unsecured revolving line of credit (the Senior Credit Facility) from April 7, 2011 to April 7,
2012.
The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant
requires us to maintain a ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the
credit agreement, of no more than 65%. As of September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with this
covenant. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio at September 30, 2007, as calculated pursuant to the
terms of the agreement, was 24.8%.
On August 7, 2007, we established a new $1.5 billion 364-day, syndicated, unsecured revolving
senior credit facility (the Short-Term Facility). This new facility provides us with provisional
interim liquidity until we receive the proceeds from divestitures of assets in Africa. The
Short-Term Facility was also used to support an increase in our commercial paper program from $2
billion to $3.5 billion.
The Short-Term Facility matures 364 days from the closing date. On the maturity date, all
amounts outstanding will be due and payable at that time unless the maturity is extended. Prior to
the maturity date, we have the option to convert any outstanding principal amount of loans under
the Short-Term Facility to a term loan which will be repayable in a single payment 364 days from
the maturity date.
Amounts borrowed under the Short-Term Facility bear interest at various fixed rate options for
periods of up to 12 months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate. We may also elect to
borrow at the prime rate. The
Short-Term Facility currently provides for an annual facility fee of approximately $1.0
million that is payable quarterly in arrears.
40
The agreement governing the Short-Term Facility contains substantially the same covenants and
restrictions as our existing Senior Credit Facility, including a maximum allowed
debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65% as defined in the agreement.
As of September 30, 2007, our combined available capacity under these credit facilities was
$1.6 billion.
Debt Ratings
During September 2007, our senior unsecured long term debt rating was upgraded by Moodys from
Baa2 to Baa1 with a stable outlook. This upgrade was primarily due to improved organic reserves
replacement, production growth and reduced leverage. We are not aware of any potential downgrades
contemplated by the rating agencies as of September 30, 2007.
Exchangeable Debentures
As of September 30, 2007, our outstanding debt includes Chevron exchangeable debentures with a
scheduled maturity date of August 15, 2008. Although these debentures are now due within one year,
we continue to classify this debt as long-term because we have the intent and ability to refinance
these debentures on a long-term basis with the available capacity under our existing credit
facilities or other long-term financing arrangements.
Canadian Royalties
On October 25, 2007, the Alberta government proposed increases to the royalty rates on oil and
natural gas production beginning in 2009. We believe this proposal would reduce future earnings and
cash flows from our oil and gas properties located in Alberta. Additionally, assuming all other
factors are equal, higher royalty rates would likely result in lower levels of capital investment
in Alberta relative to our other areas of operation. However, the magnitude of the potential
impact, which will depend on the final form of enacted legislation and other factors which impact
the relative expected economic returns of capital projects, cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.
Master Limited Partnership
We announced on July 18, 2007 our plan to form a new, publicly traded master limited
partnership (MLP). The proposed MLP was expected to initially own a minority interest in our U.S.
onshore marketing and midstream business. On November 7, 2007, we announced that we had decided not
to proceed at this time with our plans to form this MLP. This decision was based primarily on a
change in public market conditions for MLPs and other yield-driven investments subsequent to our
announcement of the proposed MLP.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to the information included in Item 7A. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of September 30, 2007 to
ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Devon in the reports that it files or
submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in Devons internal control over financial reporting during the third
quarter of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Devons
internal control over financial reporting.

In August 2005, Devons Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program
to repurchase up to 50 million shares of Devons common stock. This program was suspended
in 2006 as a result of the Chief acquisition. As of September 30, 2007, there were still
43,533,001 shares available for purchase under this program. On June 6, 2007, Devons
Board of Directors approved an ongoing, annual stock repurchase program to offset
dilution resulting from restricted stock issued to, and options exercised by, employees.
The new repurchase program authorizes the repurchase of up to 4.5 million shares in 2007
and is in addition to the 50 million share repurchase program that was authorized in
August 2005. The shares purchased in the third quarter relate to the program authorized
in June 2007. |
