INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on our examination of historical operating trends, the information used to prepare the December 31, 2008 reserve reports and other data in our possession or available from third parties. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue” or similar terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, our assumptions about:
    energy markets, including the supply and demand for oil, gas, NGLs and other products or services, and the prices of oil, gas, NGLs, including regional pricing differentials, and other products or services;
 
    production levels, including Canadian production subject to government royalties, which fluctuate with prices and production, and international production governed by payout agreements, which affect reported production;
 
    reserve levels;
 
    competitive conditions;
 
    technology;
 
    the availability of capital resources within the securities or capital markets and related risks such as general credit, liquidity, market and interest-rate risks;
 
    capital expenditure and other contractual obligations;
 
    currency exchange rates;
 
    the weather;
 
    inflation;
 
    the availability of goods and services;
 
    drilling risks;
 
    future processing volumes and pipeline throughput;
 
    general economic conditions, whether internationally, nationally or in the jurisdictions in which we or our subsidiaries conduct business;
 
    legislative or regulatory changes, including retroactive royalty or production tax regimes, changes in environmental regulation, environmental risks and liability under federal, state and foreign environmental laws and regulations;
 
    terrorism;
 
    occurrence of property acquisitions or divestitures; and
 
    other factors disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Item 2. Properties — Proved Reserves and Estimated Future Net Revenue,” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
     All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Devon, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. We assume no duty to update or revise our forward-looking statements based on changes in internal estimates or expectations or otherwise.

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 September 30, 2009 and Devon’s results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. To prepare the accompanying financial statements and notes, Devon’s management evaluated events or transactions that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2009 and before November 5, 2009, which was the date these financial statements were issued.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
     In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 715 Compensation — Retirement Benefits, regarding employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. This ASC update requires additional disclosures about the types of assets and associated risks in an employer’s defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. It is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Devon is evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASC update will have on its financial statement disclosures. However, Devon’s adoption of this ASC update 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. Additionally, on two separate occasions in October 2009, the SEC issued certain compliance and disclosure interpretations of its oil and gas rules. The disclosure 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.

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.
2. Accounts Receivable
     The components of accounts receivable include the following:

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 14.
6. Goodwill
     During the first nine months of 2009, Devon’s goodwill increased $350 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 September 30, 2009.

     On November 3, 2009 Devon’s unused $700 million short-term facility matured. On November 3, 2009, Devon established a new $700 million 364-day, syndicated, unsecured revolving senior credit facility (the “Short-Term Facility”). The Short-Term Facility matures on November 2, 2010. On the maturity date, all amounts outstanding will be due and payable at that time. 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 based on LIBOR or the prime rate. The Short-Term Facility provides for an annual facility fee of approximately $1.75 million that is payable quarterly in arrears.
     The credit facilities contain only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization to be less than 65%. The credit agreement contains definitions of total funded debt and total capitalization that include adjustments to the respective amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Also, total capitalization is adjusted to add back noncash financial writedowns such as full cost ceiling impairments or goodwill impairments. As of September 30, 2009, Devon was in compliance with this covenant. Devon’s debt-to-capitalization ratio at September 30, 2009, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 21.3%.
Commercial Paper
     Subsequent to the $1.0 billion commercial paper repayment in January 2009, Devon utilized additional net commercial paper borrowings of $1.4 billion to fund capital expenditure payments in excess of cash generated by operating activities during the first nine months of 2009. As of September 30, 2009, Devon’s average borrowing rate on its $1.4 billion of commercial paper debt was 0.32%.

     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 September 30, 2009, Devon has contributed $42 million to its defined benefit pension plans and $3 million to its defined benefit postretirement plans.
10. Stockholders’ Equity
Stock Repurchases
     During the first nine months of 2008, Devon repurchased 6.5 million common shares for $665 million, or $102.56 per share, under programs approved by its Board of Directors. The 6.5 million common shares include 4.5 million shares that were repurchased under Devon’s 50 million share repurchase program and 2.0 million shares that were repurchased under Devon’s ongoing, annual stock repurchase program. No such repurchases were made during the first nine months of 2009.
Dividends
     Devon paid common stock dividends of $213 million and $211 million (quarterly rates of $0.16 per share) in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Devon paid preferred stock dividends of $5 million in 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 September 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 a de minimis PRP, 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 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 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. 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.
     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 was later appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which, in October 2009, declined to review the appellate court’s ruling. The Supreme Court’s decision ended the MMS’s judicial course to enforce the price thresholds.

     Prior to September 30, 2009, Devon had $84 million accrued for potential royalties on various deep water leases. Based upon the Supreme Court’s decision, Devon reduced to zero the $84 million loss contingency accrual in the third quarter of 2009. The $84 million expense reduction is included in other income in the accompanying 2009 statements of operations.
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.

14. 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.
                 
    March 31, 2009  
            Net of  
    Gross     Taxes  
    (In millions)

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, 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.

16. Income Taxes
     In the third quarter of 2009, Devon recognized $59 million of income tax benefits in conjunction with the filing of its 2008 and certain amended 2005, 2006 and 2007 income tax returns. These tax benefits consist of deferred tax benefits of $50 million and current tax benefits of $9 million. Of the $59 million, $41 million relates to taxation on foreign operations. The remaining $18 million relates to taxation on U.S. federal and state operations.
     Also in the third quarter of 2009, Devon recognized a $22 million current tax benefit related to certain unsuccessful international drilling results.
17. 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).

     In the third quarter of 2008, Devon sold its assets and terminated its operations in Cote d’Ivoire. As a result of this sale, Devon recognized a gain of $83 million ($101 million after tax) in the third quarter of 2008 from proceeds of $205 million ($163 million net of purchase price adjustments).
     In the second quarter of 2009, Devon recognized a $17 million gain in conjunction with post-closing settlements related to the 2008 sales.
     Operating revenues related to Devon’s discontinued operations totaled $17 million and $349 million in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively. There were no operating revenues related to Devon’s discontinued operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009.
     The following table presents the main classes of assets and liabilities associated with Devon’s discontinued operations as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

18. 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Because a net loss from continuing operations was generated during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, the dilutive shares produce an antidilutive net loss per share result. Therefore, the diluted loss per share from continuing operations in the nine months ended September 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 nine-month periods ended September 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, 1.6 million 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 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 nine months of 2009. The Henry Hub natural gas index for the third quarter of 2009 was down 51% from the fourth quarter of 2008 and 67% from the third quarter of 2008. Additionally, although oil index prices have improved since the end of 2008, the West Texas Intermediate oil index dropped 42% from the third quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2009.
     The lower oil and gas prices have significantly impacted our earnings for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009. During the third quarter of 2009 and first nine months of 2009, we generated net earnings of $499 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, and a net loss of $3.1 billion, or $7.09 per diluted share, for the respective periods. These amounts are significantly lower than the comparative earnings amounts for 2008. The loss in the first nine months 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 drop in natural gas prices since December 31, 2008.
     Key measures of our performance for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared to 2008 are summarized below:
    Production increased 6% and 8% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively.
    The combined realized price without hedges for oil, gas and NGLs decreased 56% and 58% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively.
    Marketing and midstream operating profit decreased 41% to $100 million and 33% to $367 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively.
    Per unit operating costs decreased 28% to $9.15 per Boe and 25% to $8.94 per Boe in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively.
    Oil and gas hedges generated net gains of $23 million and $190 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively. Our hedges generated a net gain of $1.6 billion in third quarter of 2008 and a net loss of $411 million in the first nine months of 2008. Included in these amounts were cash receipts of $127 million and $359 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, respectively, and payments of $240 million and $551 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively.
    Operating cash flow decreased approximately 60% to $3.3 billion in the first nine months of 2009.
    Cash spent on capital expenditures was approximately $4.2 billion in the first nine months of 2009. Approximately 80% of this amount was funded with operating cash flow and the remainder was funded with commercial paper borrowings.
     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 expect the challenging commodity price environment will likely persist in the coming months. 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 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 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 lower 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 November 2, 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. Furthermore, our available cash resources position us with adequate capital to quickly increase exploration and development activities once commodity prices show signs of long-term improvement.

Oil Sales
     Oil sales decreased $635 million in the third quarter of 2009 as a result of a 43% decrease in our realized price without hedges. The average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price decreased 42% during the same time period, accounting for the majority of the decrease.
     Oil sales increased $184 million in the third quarter of 2009 due to a two 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.

Table of Contents

     Oil sales decreased $2.2 billion in the first nine months of 2009 as a result of a 51% decrease in our realized price without hedges. The average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price decreased 50% during the same time period, accounting for the majority of the decrease.
     Oil sales increased $334 million in the first nine months of 2009 due to a four 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.
Gas Sales
     Gas sales decreased $1.5 billion during the third quarter of 2009 as a result of a 68% 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 four Bcf increase in production during the third quarter of 2009 caused gas sales to increase by $34 million. Gas production increased 10 Bcf due to a decline in Canadian government royalties largely resulting from lower gas prices. Also, we restored five Bcf of production that was deferred in the third quarter of 2008 due to hurricanes. These increases were largely offset by lower production from our North American onshore properties due to the net effect of natural production declines in excess of new production from drilling and development. In response to continued declining natural gas prices throughout 2009, we have scaled back our North American onshore natural gas drilling programs. As a result, we began experiencing production declines in the third quarter that outpaced new production from development activities performed in late 2008 and early 2009.
     Gas sales decreased $4.0 billion during the first nine months of 2009 as a result of a 63% 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 50 Bcf increase in production during the first nine months of 2009 caused gas sales to increase by $428 million. Our North American onshore properties contributed 40 Bcf to our growth as a result of new production from drilling and development that exceeded natural production declines. This increase was led by higher production from the Barnett Shale, which contributed 22 Bcf. Gas production also increased 22 Bcf due to a decline in Canadian government royalties largely resulting from lower gas prices. These increases were partially offset by 12 Bcf of lower production from our United States Offshore properties, largely resulting from natural production declines.
NGL Sales
     NGL sales decreased $219 million during the third quarter of 2009 as a result of a 53% 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 increased $52 million in the third quarter of 2009 due to a one million barrel increase in production that was primarily related to our Barnett Shale and Woodford Shale activity.
     NGL sales decreased $672 million during the first nine months of 2009 as a result of a 57% 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. NGL sales increased $104 million in the first nine months of 2009 due to a two million barrel increase in production. The higher production resulted primarily from development in the Barnett Shale and Woodford Shale.

     Our oil and gas derivative financial instruments include price swaps and costless 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.
     During the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, we received $127 million, or $0.53 per Mcf, and $359 million, or $0.48 per Mcf, respectively from counterparties to settle our gas price contracts. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, we paid $240 million, or $1.01 per Mcf, and $551 million, or $0.80 per Mcf, respectively, to counterparties to settle our gas price collars and swaps.
     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 swaps and collars at September 30, 2009, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have increased our 2009 unrealized losses for our gas derivative financial instruments by approximately $134 million. A 10% increase in the forward curves associated with our oil derivative financial instruments would have decreased our 2009 unrealized gains by approximately $32 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 twelve 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 September 30, 2009, the credit ratings of all our counterparties were investment grade.
     During the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, we reduced the fair value of our derivative financial instruments by $104 million and $169 million, respectively. These reductions largely represent the realization of previously recorded unrealized gains on our gas price collar contracts, which is expected as the contracts near their December 31, 2009 expiration date.
     During the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, we increased the fair value of our derivative financial instruments by $1.8 billion and $140 million, respectively. The $1.8 billion unrealized gain in the third quarter of 2008 was primarily the result of large fluctuations in the forward curves of the Inside FERC Henry Hub index. As a result of a significant increase in the Inside FERC Henry Hub forward curve from our contract trade dates to the end of the second quarter of 2008, we recognized a $1.7 billion unrealized loss during the first half of 2008. During the third quarter of 2008, the Inside FERC Henry Hub forward curve decreased considerably. As a result we recognized an unrealized gain of $1.8 billion, in effect, reversing the unrealized loss recognized in the first half of 2008.
Marketing and Midstream Revenues and Operating Costs and Expenses

(1)   All percentage changes included in this table are based on actual figures and are not calculated using the rounded figures included in this table.
     During the third quarter of 2009, marketing and midstream revenues decreased $277 million and operating costs and expenses decreased $208 million, causing operating profit to decrease $69 million. Revenues and expenses decreased in the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to lower natural gas and NGL prices, partially offset by higher NGL production.
     During the first nine months of 2009, marketing and midstream revenues decreased $821 million and operating costs and expenses also decreased $642 million, causing operating profit to decrease $179 million. Revenues and expenses decreased in the first nine months of 2009 primarily due to lower natural gas and NGL prices, partially offset by the effects of increased gas pipeline throughput and higher NGL production.

Lease Operating Expenses (“LOE”)
     LOE decreased $86 million in the third quarter of 2009. LOE decreased $95 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 resulted from decreasing demand for field services due to lower oil and gas prices compared to recent periods. LOE also decreased $14 million due to damages to certain of our facilities and transportation systems that were caused by Hurricane Ike in the third quarter of 2008. In addition, LOE decreased $10 million due to the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar. These factors were also the main contributors to the decrease in our LOE per Boe. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $33 million increase in LOE associated with our 6% production growth.
     LOE decreased $95 million in the first nine months of 2009. LOE decreased $129 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 $78 million due to the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar. Additionally, LOE decreased $14 million as a result of damages to certain of our facilities and transportation systems that were caused by Hurricane Ike in the third quarter of 2008. These factors were also the main contributors to the decrease in our LOE per Boe. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $126 million increase in LOE associated with our 8% production growth.

     The majority of our production taxes are assessed on our U.S. onshore properties and are generally 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 table above primarily relate to changes in oil, gas and NGL revenues from our U.S. onshore and International properties. The changes due to rate largely result from lower variable tax rates on our International properties, as well as tax credits received on certain of our United States onshore properties.

     The 6% production increase during the third quarter of 2009 caused oil and gas property related DD&A to increase $45 million. The 8% production increase during the first nine months of 2009 caused oil and gas property related DD&A to increase $177 million.
     Oil and gas property-related DD&A decreased $346 million during the third quarter of 2009 due to a 42% decrease in the DD&A rate. Oil and gas property-related DD&A decreased $884 million during the first nine months of 2009 due to a 36% decrease in the DD&A rate. The largest contributors to the rate decreases 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 also 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 third quarter of 2008.

     Gross G&A decreased $16 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. Gross G&A decreased largely as a result of initiatives we have instituted during 2009 to manage spending in certain discretionary cost categories. The effects of these initiatives were partially offset by approximately $10 million of higher costs for employee compensation and benefits. The higher employee costs resulted primarily from an increase in postretirement benefits costs and higher severance costs associated with employee departures.
     Gross G&A increased $21 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. This increase was due to approximately $64 million of higher costs for employee compensation and benefits, partially offset by the effects of our 2009 reduced spending initiatives for certain discretionary cost categories. Employee cost increases in 2009 included an additional $55 million of severance costs. This increase was due to the integration of our Gulf of Mexico and International operations into one offshore unit in the second quarter of 2009 and other employee departures during 2009. Additionally, employee costs increased approximately $42 million due to an increase in postretirement benefits costs.
     These increases in employee costs were partially offset by a $27 million decrease 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.

     Interest based on debt outstanding increased during the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to additional 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. This was partially offset by lower interest resulting from the retirement of our exchangeable debentures during the third quarter of 2008.
     Interest based on debt outstanding decreased during the first nine months of 2009 due to lower interest rates on our commercial paper borrowings and the retirement of our exchangeable debentures during the third quarter of 2008. This was partially offset by the additional interest resulting from the issuance of debt in January 2009 as discussed above.

Interest Rate Swaps
     During the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, we received cash settlements totaling $14 million and $35 million, respectively, from counterparties to settle our interest rate swaps. We also recognize unrealized changes in the fair values of our interest rate swaps each reporting period. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2009, we recorded a $9 million and $15 million unrealized loss, respectively, as a result of changes in interest rates. In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded a $23 million unrealized gain as a result of changes in interest rates. There were no cash settlements in the third quarter of 2008.
     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 September 30, 2009, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have decreased our 2009 unrealized losses for our interest rate swaps by approximately $30 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 six 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 September 30, 2009.
Chevron Common Stock and Related Embedded Option
     The third quarter and first nine months of 2008 losses on our investment in Chevron common stock were directly attributable to a $16.65 and $10.85 decrease in the price per share of Chevron’s common stock during the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively. The gains on the embedded option during the third quarter and first nine months of 2008 were directly attributable to the change in fair value of the Chevron common stock from July 1, 2008 to the associated debentures’ maturity date of August 15, 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.

     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.

     Interest and dividend income decreased during the third quarter of 2009 and the first nine months of 2009 due to a decrease in dividends received on our previously owned investment in Chevron common stock and a decrease in interest received on cash equivalents due to lower rates and balances.
     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.
     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 was later appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which, in October 2009, declined to review the appellate court’s ruling. The Supreme Court’s decision ended the MMS’s judicial course to enforce the price thresholds.
     Prior to September 30, 2009, we had $84 million accrued for potential royalties on various deep water leases. Based upon the Supreme Court’s decision, we reduced to zero the $84 million loss contingency accrual in the third quarter of 2009.
     We suffered insured damages in the third quarter of 2005 related to hurricanes that struck the Gulf of Mexico. During 2006 and 2007, we received $480 million as a full settlement of the amount due from our primary insurers and certain of our secondary insurers. Our claims under our then existing insurance arrangements included both physical damages and business interruption claims. As of September 30, 2008, we had used $418 million of these proceeds as reimbursement of past repair costs and deductible amounts and expected to utilize another $5 million on future repairs. As a result, we recognized $57 million of excess recoveries as other income in the third quarter of 2008.

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 nine-month periods ended September 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.

     In the third quarter of 2009, we recognized $59 million of income tax benefits in conjunction with the filing of our 2008 and certain amended 2005, 2006 and 2007 income tax returns. These tax benefits consist of deferred tax benefits of $50 million and current tax benefits of $9 million. Of the $59 million, $41 million relates to taxation on foreign operations. The remaining $18 million relates to taxation on U.S. federal and state operations. Also in the third quarter of 2009, we recognized a $22 million current tax benefit related to certain unsuccessful international drilling results.
     In the nine months ended September 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 and the benefits discussed in the preceding paragraph, our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 was 29% and 27%, respectively.
     For the nine months ended September 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. At the end of the second quarter of 2008, we also expected to repatriate approximately $1.5 billion in earnings from foreign subsidiaries to the United States during the last six months of 2008. 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 repatriations 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 rate would have been 31% for the first nine months of 2008.
     After adjusting for the factors discussed in the preceding paragraphs, 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.

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 nine months of 2009. Changes in operating cash flow are largely due to the same factors that affect our

41


Table of Contents

net earnings, with the exception of those earnings changes due to noncash expenses such as DD&A, property impairments, financial instrument fair value changes and deferred income taxes. Our operating cash flow decreased in 2009 primarily due to the decrease in commodity prices and resulting revenues as discussed in the “Results of Operations” section of this report.
     During the first nine months of 2009, our operating cash flow funded approximately 80% 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 nine 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 $1.4 billion to fund capital expenditure and dividend payments in excess of our operating cash flow during the first nine months of 2009.
     In 2008, another significant source of cash was the proceeds from our African divestiture program. During the first nine months of 2008, we received $2.6 billion in proceeds ($1.9 billion net of income taxes and purchase price adjustments) from 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 $2.3 billion of earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries to the United States in the first nine months of 2008.
     During 2008, we used the proceeds from asset and investment 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 nine months 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 nine months of 2009 and 2008 were approximately $3.6 billion and $6.4 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 $3.9 billion and $5.7 billion in the first nine months of 2009

Table of Contents

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.
     Our exploration and development capital expenditures decreased $1.9 billion in the first nine months of 2009. The lower expenditures result from decreased drilling activities in most of our operating areas in response to lower commodity prices in 2009 compared to recent years.
Net Repayments of Debt in 2008
     During the first nine months 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 nine months of 2008, virtually all holders of exchangeable debentures exercised their option to exchange their debentures for shares of Chevron common stock owned by us. The debentures matured on August 15, 2008. In lieu of delivering our shares of Chevron common stock, we exercised our option to pay the exchanging debenture holders cash totaling $1.0 billion. This amount included the retirement of debentures with a book value of $652 million and a $379 reduction of the related embedded derivative option’s balance.
Repurchases of Common Stock in 2008
     During the first nine months of 2008, we repurchased 6.5 million common shares for $665 million, or $102.56 per share. The 6.5 million shares include 4.5 million shares that were repurchased under our 50 million share repurchase program and 2.0 million shares that were repurchased under our ongoing, annual stock repurchase program.
Redemption of Preferred Stock in 2008
     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 $213 million and $211 million (quarterly rates of $0.16 per share) in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our preferred dividends were $5 million in the first nine months of 2008 prior to the June 20, 2008 redemption.
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 $3.3 billion in the first nine months of 2009 compared to the first nine months of 2008. In spite of the recent commodity price declines, we expect operating cash flow will continue to be a primary source of liquidity, and we will need to manage our capital expenditures and other cash uses accordingly.
     However, as a result of depressed commodity prices, debt borrowings have been a significant source of liquidity during 2009. During the first nine months of 2009, our net borrowings of long-term debt and commercial paper totaled $1.6 billion. Additionally, based on near-term price expectations, we anticipate borrowing additional commercial paper during the remainder of 2009 to assist in funding our planned capital expenditures and other capital uses.
Credit Lines
     As of November 2, 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 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 September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with this covenant. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio at September 30, 2009, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 21.3%.
Other Capital Resources
     We expect the challenging commodity price environment will likely persist in the coming months. 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 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. Additionally, these proceeds and our other available cash resources position us with adequate capital to quickly increase exploration and development activities once commodity prices show signs of long-term improvement.
Capital Expenditures
     In August 2009, we provided guidance for our 2009 capital expenditures. At that time, we estimated total capital expenditures would range from $4.5 billion to $5.2 billion. This estimate is significantly lower than our 2008 capital expenditures, and 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 715 Compensation — Retirement Benefits, regarding employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. This ASC update requires additional disclosures about the types of assets and associated risks in an employer’s defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. It is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASC update will have on our financial statement disclosures. However, our adoption of this ASC update will not affect our current accounting for our 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. Additionally, on two separate occasions in October 2009, the SEC issued certain compliance and disclosure interpretations of its oil and gas rules. The disclosure 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.

     In addition, subsequent to the preparation of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we entered into additional gas price swaps related to a portion of our third and fourth quarter 2009 gas production. The key terms to these gas financial contracts as of November 2, 2009 are presented in the following table.

    800,000     $ 4.79  
     Subsequent to the preparation of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we also entered into various gas price swaps and oil price collars related to our 2010 production. The contracts relate to the same amounts of daily production in each 2010 quarter. The key terms to these financial contracts as of November 2, 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 for gas instruments and West Texas Intermediate for oil instruments. Based on the amount of volumes subject to our gas price swaps and collars at November 2, 2009, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have decreased the fair value of our gas price swaps and collars by approximately $245 million. A 10% increase in the forward curves associated with our oil collars would have decreased the fair value of these instruments by approximately $110 million.
Interest Rate Risk
     At September 30, 2009, we had debt outstanding of $7.4 billion. Of this amount, $6.0 billion, or 81%, bears interest at fixed rates averaging 7.24%. Additionally, we had $1.4 billion of outstanding commercial paper, bearing interest at floating rates that averaged 0.32%.
     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 $800 million as of November 2, 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 $700 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 3.99% 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 November 2, 2009, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have increased the fair value of our interest rate derivative instruments by approximately $40 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.
     Based on their evaluation, Devon’s principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that Devon’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of September 30, 2009 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 Devon’s internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Devon’s internal control over financial reporting.
