Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Devon Energy Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Devon Energy Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated comprehensive statements of earnings, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. We also have audited Devon Energy Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Devon Energy Corporation’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report contained in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of Devon Energy Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Devon Energy Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, Devon Energy Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”) is a leading independent energy company engaged primarily in the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGLs. Devon’s operations are concentrated in various North American onshore areas in the U.S. and Canada. Devon also owns natural gas pipelines, plants and treatment facilities in many of its producing areas, making it one of North America’s larger processors of natural gas.

Accounting policies used by Devon and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect industry practices. The more significant of such policies are discussed below.

Principles of Consolidation

The accounts of Devon and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries are included in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the following:

•proved reserves and related present value of future net revenues;
•the carrying value of oil and gas properties;
•derivative financial instruments;
•the fair value of reporting units and related assessment of goodwill for impairment;
•income taxes;
•asset retirement obligations;
•obligations related to employee pension and postretirement benefits; and
•legal and environmental risks and exposures.

Revenue Recognition and Gas Balancing

Oil, gas and NGL sales are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, delivery has occurred, title has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. Delivery occurs and title is transferred when production has been delivered to a pipeline, railcar or truck. Cash received relating to future production is deferred and recognized when all revenue recognition criteria are met. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on oil, gas and NGL sales are presented separately from such revenues in the accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings.

Devon follows the sales method of accounting for gas production imbalances. The volumes of gas sold may differ from the volumes to which Devon is entitled based on its interests in the properties. These differences

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

create imbalances that are recognized as a liability only when the estimated remaining reserves will not be sufficient to enable the underproduced owner to recoup its entitled share through production. The liability is measured based on current market prices. No receivables are recorded for those wells where Devon has taken less than its share of production unless all revenue recognition criteria are met. If an imbalance exists at the time the wells’ reserves are depleted, settlements are made among the joint interest owners under a variety of arrangements.

Marketing and midstream revenues are recorded at the time products are sold or services are provided to third parties at a fixed or determinable price, delivery or performance has occurred, title has transferred and collectability of the revenue is probable. Revenues and expenses attributable to oil, gas and NGL purchases, transportation and processing contracts are reported on a gross basis when Devon takes title to the products and has risks and rewards of ownership.

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, no purchaser accounted for more than 10 percent of Devon’s operating revenues from continuing operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Devon is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including risks related to commodity prices, interest rates and Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rates. As discussed more fully below, Devon uses derivative instruments primarily to manage commodity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. Devon does not intend to issue or hold derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Devon periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL production to hedge future prices received. These instruments are used to manage the inherent uncertainty of future revenues due to commodity price volatility. Devon’s derivative financial instruments typically include financial price swaps, basis swaps, costless price collars and call options. Under the terms of the price swaps, Devon receives a fixed price for its production and pays a variable market price to the contract counterparty. For the basis swaps, Devon receives a fixed differential between two regional index prices and pays a variable differential on the same two index prices to the contract counterparty. The price collars set a floor and ceiling price for the hedged production. If the applicable monthly price indices are outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices in the various collars, Devon will cash-settle the difference with the counterparty to the collars. The call options give counterparties the right to purchase production at a predetermined price.

Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility. Devon periodically enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates.

All derivative financial instruments are recognized at their current fair value as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recorded in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For derivative financial instruments held during the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, Devon chose not to meet the necessary criteria to qualify its derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting treatment. Cash settlements with counterparties on Devon’s derivative financial instruments are also recorded in earnings.

By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency rates, Devon is exposed to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. To mitigate this risk, the hedging instruments are placed with

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

a number of counterparties whom Devon believes are acceptable credit risks. It is Devon’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with investment grade rated counterparties deemed by management to be competent and competitive market makers. Additionally, Devon’s derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be posted if either its or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below certain credit rating levels. The mark-to-market exposure threshold, above which collateral must be posted, decreases as the debt rating falls further below such credit levels. As of December 31, 2013, Devon held $3 million of cash collateral, which represented the estimated fair value of certain derivative positions in excess of Devon’s credit guidelines. The collateral is reported in other current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses are reported net of amounts reimbursed by working interest owners of the oil and gas properties operated by Devon and net of amounts capitalized pursuant to the full cost method of accounting.

Share Based Compensation

Devon grants stock options, restricted stock awards and other types of share-based awards to members of its Board of Directors and selected employees. All such awards are measured at fair value on the date of grant and are generally recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings over the applicable requisite service periods. As a result of Devon’s consolidation of its U.S. operations announced in October 2012, certain share based awards were accelerated and recognized as a component of restructuring costs in the accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings.

Generally, Devon uses new shares from approved incentive programs to grant share-based awards and to issue shares upon stock option exercises. Shares repurchased under approved programs are available to be issued as part of Devon’s share based awards. However, Devon has historically cancelled these shares upon repurchase.

Income Taxes

Devon is subject to current income taxes assessed by the federal and various state jurisdictions in the U.S. and by other foreign jurisdictions. In addition, Devon accounts for deferred income taxes related to these jurisdictions using the asset and 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 basis. 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. If the future utilization of some portion of carryforwards is determined to be unlikely, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded tax benefits from such assets. 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.

Devon does not recognize U.S. deferred income taxes on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that are deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. When such earnings are no longer deemed indefinitely reinvested, Devon recognizes the appropriate deferred, or even current, income tax liabilities.

Devon recognizes the financial statement effects of tax positions 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

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

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 other current liabilities. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included in current income tax expense.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Devon’s basic earnings per share amounts have been computed based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic earnings per share includes the effect of participating securities, which primarily consist of Devon’s outstanding restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method to reflect the assumed issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive securities. Such securities primarily consist of outstanding stock options.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Devon considers all highly liquid investments with original contractual maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Investments

Devon periodically invests excess cash in United States and Canadian treasury securities and other marketable securities. Devon considers securities with original contractual maturities in excess of three months, but less than one year to be short-term investments. Investments with contractual maturities in excess of one year are classified as long-term, unless such investments are classified as trading or available-for-sale.

Devon reports its investments and other marketable securities at fair value, except for debt securities in which management has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Such debt securities totaled $62 million and $64 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying balance sheet. Devon has the ability to hold the securities until maturity.

Property and Equipment

Devon follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs incidental to the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties, including costs of undeveloped leasehold, dry holes and leasehold equipment, are capitalized. Internal costs incurred that are directly identified with acquisition, exploration and development activities undertaken by Devon for its own account, and that are not related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities, are also capitalized. Interest costs incurred and attributable to unproved oil and gas properties under current evaluation and major development projects of oil and gas properties are also capitalized. All costs related to production activities, including workover costs incurred solely to maintain or increase levels of production from an existing completion interval, are charged to expense as incurred.

Capitalized costs are depleted by an equivalent unit-of-production method, converting gas to oil at the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. Depletion is calculated using the capitalized costs, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values.

Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. Devon assesses its unproved properties for impairment quarterly. Significant unproved properties are assessed individually. Costs of insignificant unproved properties are transferred into the depletion calculation over holding periods ranging from three to four years.

Table of Contents

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

No gain or loss is recognized upon disposal of oil and gas properties unless such disposal significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves in a particular country.

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the full cost “ceiling” at the end of each quarter. The ceiling is calculated separately for each country and is based on the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum, net of related tax effects. The estimated future net revenues exclude future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations included in the net book value of oil and gas properties.

Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months. Prices are held constant indefinitely and are not changed except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable contracts for the remaining term of those contracts, including derivative contracts in place that qualify for hedge accounting treatment. None of Devon’s derivative contracts held during the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, qualified for hedge accounting treatment.

Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred taxes, over the ceiling is written off as an expense. An expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher commodity prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.

Costs for midstream assets that are in use are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives, using either the unit-of-production or straight-line method. Depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment, including corporate and leasehold improvements, are provided using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to 60 years. Interest costs incurred and attributable to major midstream and corporate construction projects are also capitalized.

Devon recognizes liabilities for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing well sites and midstream pipelines and processing plants when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting asset retirement cost recorded as an increase to the associated property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. When the assumptions used to estimate a recorded asset retirement obligation change, a revision is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Devon’s asset retirement obligations include estimated environmental remediation costs which arise from normal operations and are associated with the retirement of such long-lived assets. The asset retirement cost is depreciated using a systematic and rational method similar to that used for the associated property and equipment.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of business combinations over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is tested for impairment at least annually. Such test includes an assessment of qualitative and quantitative factors. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and all other assets and liabilities to assigned reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated and compared to the net book value of the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the net book value, including goodwill, then the goodwill is written down to the implied fair value of the goodwill through a charge to expense. Because quoted market prices are not available for Devon’s reporting units, the fair values of the reporting units are estimated based upon several valuation analyses, including comparable companies, comparable transactions and premiums paid.

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Devon performed annual impairment tests of goodwill in the fourth quarters of 2013, 2012 and 2011. Based on these assessments, no impairment of goodwill was required.

The table below provides a summary of Devon’s goodwill, by assigned reporting unit. The decrease in Devon’s goodwill from 2012 to 2013 was primarily due to changes in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar.

Commitments and Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities for environmental remediation or restoration claims resulting from improper operation of assets are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Expenditures related to such environmental matters are expensed or capitalized in accordance with Devon’s accounting policy for property and equipment.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain of Devon’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This price is commonly referred to as the “exit price.” Fair value measurements are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs underlying the valuation techniques. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

•Level 1 – Inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. When available, Devon measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value.
•Level 2 – Inputs consist of quoted prices that are generally observable for the asset or liability. Common examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets not considered to be active.
•Level 3 – Inputs are not observable from objective sources and have the lowest priority. The most common Level 3 fair value measurement is an internally developed cash flow model.

Discontinued Operations

All amounts related to Devon’s International operations that were sold in 2012 and 2011 are classified as discontinued operations.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments

The United States dollar is the functional currency for Devon’s consolidated operations except its Canadian subsidiaries, which use the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting

3.Share-Based Compensation

On June 3, 2009, Devon’s stockholders adopted the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which expires on June 2, 2019. This plan authorizes the Compensation Committee, which consists of independent non-management members of Devon’s Board of Directors, to grant nonqualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, performance restricted stock awards, Canadian restricted stock units, performance share units, stock appreciation rights and cash-out rights to eligible employees. The plan also authorizes the grant of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to directors.

In the second quarter of 2012, Devon’s stockholders adopted an amendment to the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which also expires June 2, 2019. This amendment increases the number of shares authorized for issuance from 21.5 million shares to 47.0 million shares. To calculate shares issued under the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan subsequent to this amendment, options and stock appreciation rights represent one share and other awards represent 2.38 shares.

Devon also has a stock option plan that was adopted in 2005 under which stock options were issued to certain employees. Options granted under this plan remain exercisable by the employees owning such options, but no new options or restricted stock awards will be granted under this plan.

Devon did not have an annual long-term incentive grant in 2013 due to revisions in the timing of the employee compensation cycle. The annual long-term incentive grant related to 2013 performance was granted in February 2014. The following table presents the effects of share-based compensation included in Devon’s accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings. The vesting for certain share-based awards was accelerated as part of Devon’s consolidation of its U.S. operations announced in October 2012. The associated expense for these accelerated awards is included in restructuring costs in the accompanying comprehensive statements of earnings. See Note 6 for further details.

Stock Options

In accordance with Devon’s incentive plans, the exercise price of stock options granted may not be less than the market value of the stock at the date of grant. In addition, options granted are exercisable during a period established for each grant, which may not exceed eight years from the date of grant. The recipient must pay the exercise price in cash or in common stock, or a combination thereof, at the time that the option is exercised. Generally, the service requirement for vesting ranges from zero to four years.

The fair value of stock options on the date of grant is expensed over the applicable vesting period. Devon estimates the fair values of stock options granted using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, which requires Devon to make several assumptions. The volatility of Devon’s common stock is based on the historical volatility of the market price of Devon’s common stock over a period of time equal to the expected term of the option and ending on the grant date. The dividend yield is based on Devon’s historical and current yield in effect at the date

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon United States Treasury yield for the expected term of the option at the date of grant. The expected term of the options is based on historical exercise and termination experience for various groups of employees and directors. Each group is determined based on the similarity of their historical exercise and termination behavior. The following table presents a summary of the grant-date fair values of stock options granted and the related assumptions for 2012 and 2011. All such amounts represent the weighted-average amounts for each year. No stock options were granted in 2013.

Restricted Stock Awards and Units

Restricted stock awards and units are subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations, if any, that the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, including restrictions on continued employment. Generally, the service requirement for vesting ranges from zero to four years. During the vesting period, recipients of restricted stock awards receive dividends that are not subject to restrictions or other limitations. Devon estimates the fair values of restricted stock awards and units as the closing price of Devon’s common stock on the grant date of the award or unit, which is expensed over the applicable vesting period. The following table presents a summary of Devon’s unvested restricted stock awards and units.

The aggregate fair value of restricted stock awards and units that vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $141 million, $112 million and $145 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, Devon’s unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards and units was $166 million. Such cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

Performance Based Restricted Stock Awards

Performance based restricted stock awards are granted to certain members of Devon’s senior management. Vesting of the awards is dependent on Devon meeting certain internal performance targets and the recipient meeting certain service requirements. Generally, the service requirement for vesting ranges from zero to four years. If Devon meets or exceeds the performance target, the awards vest after the recipient meets the related requisite service period. If the performance target and service period requirement are not met, the award does not vest. Once vested, recipients are entitled to dividends on the awards. Devon estimates the fair values of the awards as the closing price of Devon’s common stock on the grant date of the award, which is expensed over the applicable vesting period. The following table presents a summary of Devon’s performance based restricted stock awards.

Performance Share Units

Performance share units are granted to certain members of Devon’s senior management. Each unit that vests entitles the recipient to one share of Devon common stock. The vesting of these units is based on comparing Devon’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) to the TSR of a predetermined group of fourteen peer companies over the specified two- or three-year performance period. The vesting of units may be between zero and 200 percent of the units granted depending on Devon’s TSR as compared to the peer group on the vesting date.

At the end of the vesting period, recipients receive dividend equivalents with respect to the number of units vested. The fair value of each performance share unit is estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions used for all grants made under the plan: (i) a risk-free interest rate based on United States Treasury rates as of the grant date; (ii) a volatility assumption based on the historical realized price volatility of Devon and the designated peer group; and (iii) an estimated ranking of Devon among the designated peer group. The fair value of the unit on the date of grant is expensed over the applicable vesting period. The following table presents a summary of the grant-date fair values of performance share units granted and the related assumptions.

4.Asset impairments

In 2013 and 2012, Devon recognized asset impairments related to its oil and gas property and equipment and its U.S. midstream assets as presented below.

Canada oil and gas assets843632163122
Midstream assets23146844
Total asset impairments$1,976$1,353$2,024$1,308

Oil and Gas Impairments

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are subject to a quarterly full cost ceiling test, which is discussed in Note 1.

The oil and gas impairments resulted primarily from declines in the U.S. and Canada full cost ceilings. The lower ceiling values resulted primarily from decreases in the 12-month average trailing prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs, which reduced proved reserve values.

Midstream Impairments

Due to declining natural gas production resulting from low natural gas and NGL prices, Devon determined that the carrying amounts of certain of its midstream facilities were not recoverable from estimated future cash flows. Consequently, the assets were written down to their estimated fair values, which were determined using discounted cash flow models. The fair value of Devon’s midstream assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.

Office Consolidation

In October 2012, Devon announced plans to consolidate its U.S. personnel into a single operations group centrally located at the company’s corporate headquarters in Oklahoma City. As a result, Devon closed its office in Houston, transferred operational responsibilities for assets in south Texas, east Texas and Louisiana to Oklahoma City and incurred $134 million of restructuring costs associated with the consolidation.

Employee severance and retention – As of December 31, 2013, Devon had incurred $90 million of employee severance and retention costs associated with the office consolidation. This included amounts related to cash severance costs and accelerated vesting of share-based grants.

Lease obligations and other – As of December 31, 2013, Devon had incurred $28 million of restructuring costs related to certain office space that is subject to non-cancellable operating lease agreements and that it ceased using as a part of the office consolidation. Devon’s estimate of lease obligations was based upon certain key estimates that could change over the term of the leases. These estimates include the estimated sublease income that it may receive over the term of the leases, as well as the amount of variable operating costs that it will be required to pay under the leases.

Pursuant to the completed and planned divestitures of Devon’s International assets located outside North America, a portion of Devon’s foreign earnings had been deemed to no longer be indefinitely reinvested. As of December 31, 2012, Devon had recognized a $936 million deferred income tax liability related to assumed repatriations of earnings from its foreign subsidiaries, including $725 million of deferred income tax expense recognized in 2011.

In the second and fourth quarters of 2013, Devon repatriated to the U. S. a total of $4.3 billion of its cash held outside of the U. S. In the fourth quarter of 2013, Devon announced plans to divest of its Canadian conventional assets. These events resulted in an incremental income tax expense of $97 million. The incremental expense included $180 million of current income tax expense offset by $83 million of deferred income tax benefit. The $83 million deferred tax benefit was comprised of $180 million of deferred tax benefits that offset the incremental current income tax expense and an additional $97 million of deferred income tax expense accrued in the fourth quarter for assumed repatriations.

Net deferred tax liability$(4,796)$(4,815)

Devon has recognized a $248 million deferred tax asset related to foreign tax credit carryforwards which expire between 2019 and 2023. Devon expects the tax benefits from the foreign tax credits to be utilized between 2014 and 2016. Devon also has recognized $183 million of deferred tax assets related to various net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future income taxes. The carryforwards consist of $673 million of Canadian net operating loss carryforwards, which expire between 2028 and 2033, and $197 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which expire primarily between 2014 and 2032. Devon expects the tax benefits from the Canadian net operating loss carryforwards to be utilized between 2014 and 2017 and the state net operating loss carryforwards to be utilized between 2014 and 2020. Devon has also recognized a $105 million deferred tax asset related to alternative minimum tax credits which have no expiration date and will be available for use against tax on future taxable income.

The expected utilization of Devon’s carryforwards and credits is based upon current estimates of taxable income, considering limitations on the annual utilization of these benefits as set forth by tax regulations. Significant changes in such estimates caused by variables such as future oil, gas and NGL prices or capital expenditures could alter the timing of the eventual utilization of such carryforwards. There can be no assurance that Devon will generate any specific level of continuing taxable earnings. However, management believes that Devon’s future taxable income will more likely than not be sufficient to utilize its tax carryforwards and credits prior to their expiration.

As of December 31, 2013, Devon’s unremitted foreign earnings totaled approximately $4.3 billion. Of this amount, approximately $1.5 billion was deemed to be indefinitely reinvested into the development and growth of Devon’s Canadian business. Therefore, Devon has not recognized a deferred tax liability for United States

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

income taxes associated with such earnings. If such earnings were to be repatriated to the U.S., Devon may be subject to United States income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. However, it is not practical to estimate the amount of such additional taxes that may be payable due to the inter-relationship of the various factors involved in making such an estimate.

Devon has deemed the remaining $2.8 billion of unremitted earnings not to be indefinitely reinvested. Consequently, Devon has recognized a $157 million deferred tax liability associated with such unremitted earnings as of December 31, 2013.

Devon’s unrecognized tax benefit balance at December 31, 2013 and 2012, included $32 million and $27 million, respectively, of interest and penalties. If recognized, $198 million of Devon’s unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 would affect Devon’s effective income tax rate. Included below is a summary of the tax years, by jurisdiction, that remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Certain statute of limitation expirations are scheduled to occur in the next twelve months. However, Devon is currently in various stages of the administrative review process for certain open tax years. In addition, Devon is currently subject to various income tax audits that have not reached the administrative review process. As a result, Devon cannot reasonably anticipate the extent that the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

Crosstex Merger

On October 21, 2013, Devon, Crosstex Energy, Inc. and Crosstex Energy, L.P. (collectively “Crosstex”) announced plans to combine substantially all of Devon’s U.S. midstream assets with Crosstex’s assets to form a new midstream business. The new business will consist of EnLink Midstream Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) and EnLink Midstream, LLC (“EnLink”), a master limited partnership and a general partner entity, which will both be publicly traded entities.

In exchange for a controlling interest in both EnLink and the Partnership, Devon will contribute its equity interest in a newly formed Devon subsidiary (“EnLink Holdings”) and $100 million in cash. EnLink Holdings will own Devon’s midstream assets in the Barnett Shale in north Texas and the Cana and Arkoma Woodford Shales in Oklahoma, as well as Devon’s economic interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators in Mt. Belvieu, Texas. The Partnership and EnLink will each own 50% of EnLink Holdings. The completion of these transactions is subject to Crosstex Energy, Inc. shareholder approval. Devon expects Crosstex Energy, Inc. shareholders will approve the transaction, allowing Devon and Crosstex to complete the transaction near the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Upon closing of the transactions, the pro forma ownership of EnLink will be approximately:

•70% – Devon Energy Corporation
•30% – Current Crosstex Energy, Inc. public stockholders

Upon closing of the transactions, the pro forma ownership of the Partnership will be approximately:

•53% – Devon Energy Corporation
•40% – Current Crosstex Energy, L.P. public unitholders
•7% – the General Partner

GeoSouthern Acquisition

On November 20, 2013, Devon entered into an agreement with GeoSouthern Intermediate Holdings, LLC, to acquire certain oil and gas properties, leasehold mineral interests and related assets located in the Eagle Ford Shale in south Texas for $6 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014.

Subsequent Event (unaudited)

In conjunction with the announcement of the GeoSouthern acquisition, Devon also announced plans to divest certain non-core properties located throughout Canada and the U.S. On February 19, 2014, Devon announced its first transaction as part of this divestiture program, in which it agreed to sell the majority of its Canadian conventional assets to Canadian Natural Resources Limited for approximately $2.8 billion ($3.125 billion in Canadian dollars). This transaction is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2014.

Credit Lines

Devon has a $3.0 billion syndicated, unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Senior Credit Facility”) that matures on October 24, 2018. However, prior to the maturity date, Devon has the option to extend the maturity for up to one additional one-year period, subject to the approval of the lenders.

Amounts borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility may, at the election of Devon, bear interest at various fixed rate options for periods of up to twelve months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate. However, Devon may elect to borrow at the prime rate. The Senior Credit Facility currently provides for an annual facility fee of $3.8 million that is payable quarterly in arrears. As of December 31, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.

The Senior Credit Facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, to be no greater than 65 percent. The credit agreement contains definitions of total funded debt and total capitalization that include adjustments to the respective amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Also, total capitalization is adjusted to add back noncash financial write-downs such as full cost ceiling impairments or goodwill impairments. As of December 31, 2013, Devon was in compliance with this covenant with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 25.7 percent.

Commercial Paper

Devon has access to $3.0 billion of short-term credit under its commercial paper program. Commercial paper debt generally has a maturity of between 1 and 90 days, although it can have a maturity of up to 365 days, and bears interest at rates agreed to at the time of the borrowing. The interest rate is generally based on a standard index such as the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, or the money market rate as found in the commercial paper market. As of December 31, 2013, Devon’s weighted average borrowing rate on its commercial paper borrowings was 0.30 percent.

Other Debentures and Notes

Following are descriptions of the various other debentures and notes outstanding at December 31, 2013, as listed in the table presented at the beginning of this note.

GeoSouthern Debt

In December 2013, in conjunction with the planned GeoSouthern acquisition, Devon issued $2.25 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed and floating rate senior notes resulting in cash proceeds of approximately

Table of Contents

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

$2.2 billion, net of discounts and issuance costs. The floating rate senior notes due in 2015 bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.45 percent, which rate will be reset quarterly. The floating rate senior notes due in 2016 bears interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.54 percent, which rate will be reset quarterly. The schedule below summarizes the key terms of these notes ($ in millions).

Floating rate due December 15, 2015$500

1.20% due December 15, 2016650
2.25% due December 15, 2018750
Discount and issuance costs(2)
Net proceeds$2,248

In the event that GeoSouthern acquisition is not completed on or prior to June 30, 2014, Devon is required to redeem each series of new senior notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such series, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Due to the redemption features, these senior notes were classified as short-term debt on Devon’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 and will be reclassified as long-term debt once the acquisition is completed.

Additionally, during December 2013, Devon entered into a term loan agreement with a group of major financial institutions pursuant to which Devon may draw up to $2.0 billion to finance, in part, the GeoSouthern acquisition and to pay transaction costs. Half of any loans under the term loan agreement will have a maturity of three years and the other half will have a maturity of five years (the “5-Year Loans”). The 5-Year Loans will provide for the partial amortization of principal during the last two years that they are outstanding. Loans borrowed under the term loan agreement may, at the election of Devon, bear interest at various fixed rate options for periods up to six months. Such rates are generally less than the prime rate. However, Devon may elect to borrow at the prime rate. There were no borrowings under the term loan agreement as of December 31, 2013.

Other Notes

In 2012, 2011, 2009 and 2002 Devon issued senior notes that are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Devon. Devon used the net proceeds to repay outstanding commercial paper and credit facility borrowings. The schedule below summarizes the key terms of these notes ($ in millions).

During 2012, Devon recognized revisions to its asset retirement obligations totaling $420 million. The primary factor contributing to this revision was an overall increase in abandonment cost estimates for certain of its production operations facilities.

16.Retirement Plans

Devon has various non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, including qualified plans and nonqualified plans. The qualified plans provide retirement benefits for certain U.S. and Canadian employees meeting certain age and service requirements. Benefits for the qualified plans are based on the employees’ years of service and compensation and are funded from assets held in the plans’ trusts.

The nonqualified plans provide retirement benefits for certain employees whose benefits under the qualified plans are limited by income tax regulations. The nonqualified plans’ benefits are based on the employees’ years of service and compensation. For certain nonqualified plans, Devon has established trusts to fund these plans’ benefit obligations. The total value of these trusts was $27 million and $31 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in other long-term assets in the accompanying balance sheets. For the remaining nonqualified plans for which trusts have not been established, benefits are funded from Devon’s available cash and cash equivalents.

Devon also has defined benefit postretirement plans that provide benefits for substantially all U.S. employees. The plans provide medical and, in some cases, life insurance benefits and are either contributory or non-contributory, depending on the type of plan. Benefit obligations for such plans are estimated based on Devon’s future cost-sharing intentions. Devon’s funding policy for the plans is to fund the benefits as they become payable with available cash and cash equivalents.

Benefit Obligations and Funded Status

The following table presents the funded status of Devon’s qualified and nonqualified pension and postretirement benefit plans. The benefit obligation for pension plans represents the projected benefit obligation, while the benefit obligation for the postretirement benefit plans represents the accumulated benefit obligation. The accumulated benefit obligation differs from the projected benefit obligation in that the former includes no assumption about future compensation levels. The accumulated benefit obligation for pension plans was $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Devon’s benefit obligations and plan assets are measured each year as of December 31. Devon’s 2012 plan settlements relate to a plan amendment which removed a dollar cap on lump sum payments and revised optional forms of payment to include a lump sum distribution feature. The projected benefit obligation for Devon’s qualified plans was fully funded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Assumptions

The following table presents the weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine obligations and periodic costs.

Pension BenefitsPostretirement Benefits
201320122011201320122011
Assumptions to determine benefit obligations:
Discount rate4.80%3.85%4.65%3.65%3.30%4.25%
Rate of compensation increase4.48%4.48%4.97%N/AN/AN/A
Assumptions to determine net periodic benefit cost:
Discount rate3.85%4.65%5.50%3.30%4.25%4.90%
Expected return on plan assets5.48%5.48%6.48%N/AN/AN/A
Rate of compensation increase4.48%4.97%6.94%N/AN/AN/A

Discount rate – Future pension and postretirement obligations are discounted at the end of each year based on the rate at which obligations could be effectively settled, considering the timing of estimated future cash flows related to the plans. This rate is based on high-quality bond yields, after allowing for call and default risk.

Rate of compensation increase – For measurement of the 2013 benefit obligation for the pension plans, a 4.48 percent compensation increase was assumed.

Expected return on plan assets – The expected rate of return on plan assets was determined by evaluating input from external consultants and economists, as well as long-term inflation assumptions. Devon expects the long-term asset allocation to approximate the targeted allocation. Therefore, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on the target allocation of investment types. See the pension plan assets section below for more information on Devon’s target allocations.

Other assumptions – For measurement of the 2013 benefit obligation for the other postretirement medical plans, a 7.9 percent annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2014. The rate was assumed to decrease annually to an ultimate rate of 5 percent in the year 2029 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost-trend rates affect the amounts reported for retiree health care costs. A one-percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost-trend rates would have changed the postretirement benefits obligation as of December 31, 2013, by less than $1 million and would change the 2014 service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost by less than $1 million.

Pension Plan Assets

Devon’s overall investment objective for its pension plans’ assets is to achieve stability of the plans’ funded status while providing long-term growth of invested capital and income to ensure benefit payments can be funded when required. To assist in achieving this objective, Devon has established certain investment strategies, including target allocation percentages and permitted and prohibited investments, designed to mitigate risks inherent with investing. Derivatives or other speculative investments considered high risk are generally prohibited. The following table presents Devon’s target allocation for its pension plan assets.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values in the tables above.

Fixed-income securities – Devon’s fixed-income securities consist of United States Treasury obligations, bonds issued by investment-grade companies from diverse industries, and asset-backed securities. These fixed-income securities are actively traded securities that can be redeemed upon demand. The fair values of these Level 1 securities are based upon quoted market prices.

Devon’s fixed income securities also include commingled funds that primarily invest in long-term bonds and United States Treasury securities. These fixed income securities can be redeemed on demand but are not actively traded. The fair values of these Level 2 securities are based upon the net asset values provided by the investment managers.

Equity securities – Devon’s equity securities include a commingled global equity fund that invests in large, mid and small capitalization stocks across the world’s developed and emerging markets. These equity securities can be redeemed on demand but are not actively traded. The fair values of these Level 2 securities are based upon the net asset values provided by the investment managers.

Other securities – Devon’s other securities include commingled, short-term investment funds. These securities can be redeemed on demand but are not actively traded. The fair values of these Level 2 securities are based upon the net asset values provided by investment managers.

Devon’s hedge fund and alternative investments include an investment in an actively traded global mutual fund that focuses on alternative investment strategies and a hedge fund of funds that invests both long and short using a variety of investment strategies. Devon’s hedge fund of funds is not actively traded and Devon is subject to redemption restrictions with regards to this investment. The fair value of this Level 3 investment represents the fair value as determined by the hedge fund manager.

The Series A Junior Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative quarterly dividends per share equal to the greater of $1.00 or 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all dividends (other than stock dividends) declared on common stock since the immediately preceding quarterly dividend payment date or, with respect to the first payment date, since the first issuance of Series A Junior Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock are entitled to 100 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Devon, at its option, may redeem shares of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100 times the current per share market price of Devon’s common stock on the date of the mailing of the notice of redemption. The Series A Junior Preferred Stock ranks prior to the common stock but junior to all other classes of Preferred Stock.

Stock Repurchases

In the fourth quarter of 2011, Devon completed its 2010 repurchase program. In total, Devon repurchased 49.2 million shares for $3.5 billion, or $71.18 per share.

Dividends

Devon paid common stock dividends of $348 million, $324 million and $278 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011 respectively. The quarterly cash dividend was $0.16 per share in the first quarter of 2011. Devon increased the dividend rate to $0.17 per share in the second quarter of 2011 and further increased the dividend rate to $0.20 per share in the first quarter of 2012. Devon increased the dividend rate to $0.22 per share in the second quarter of 2013.

18.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, 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. Actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Royalty Matters

Numerous natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging royalty underpayments. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, made improper deductions, used improper measurement techniques and entered into gas purchase and processing arrangements with affiliates that resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with natural gas and NGLs produced and sold. Devon’s largest exposure for such matters relates to royalties in New Mexico. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters.

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 and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, loss accruals primarily consist of estimated uninsured remediation costs. Devon’s monetary exposure for environmental matters is not expected to be material.

Other Matters

Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon’s knowledge, there were no other material pending legal proceedings to which Devon is a party or to which any of its property is subject.

Commitments

The following is a schedule by year of Devon’s commitments that have initial or remaining noncancelable terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2013.

2018885—33528
Thereafter1,998—1,331111
Total$6,425$366$3,449$285

Purchase obligation amounts represent contractual commitments primarily to purchase condensate at market prices for use at Devon’s heavy oil projects in Canada. Devon has entered into these agreements because condensate is an integral part of the heavy oil transportation process. Any disruption in Devon’s ability to obtain condensate could negatively affect its ability to transport heavy oil at these locations. Devon’s total obligation related to condensate purchases expires in 2021. The value of the obligation in the table above is based on the contractual volumes and Devon’s internal estimate of future condensate market prices.

Devon has certain drilling and facility obligations under contractual agreements with third-party service providers to procure drilling rigs and other related services for developmental and exploratory drilling and facilities construction.

Devon has certain operational agreements whereby Devon has committed to transport or process certain volumes of oil, gas and NGLs for a fixed fee. Devon has entered into these agreements to aid the movement of its production to downstream markets.

Devon leases certain office space and equipment under operating lease arrangements. Total rental expense included in general and administrative expenses under operating leases, net of sub-lease income, was $26 million, $42 million and $42 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

19.Fair Value Measurements

The following tables provide carrying value and fair value measurement information for certain of Devon’s financial assets and liabilities. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, other current receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued expenses included in the accompanying balance sheets approximated fair value at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Therefore, such financial assets and liabilities are not presented in the following tables. Additionally, information regarding the fair values of Devon’s midstream and pension plan assets is provided in Note 4 and Note 16, respectively.

Foreign currency derivatives$1$1$—$1$—
Debt$(11,644)$(13,435)$—$(13,435)$—

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values in the tables above.

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents and short-term investments – Amounts consist primarily of United States and Canadian treasury securities and money market investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements

Cash equivalents and short-term investments – Amounts consist primarily of Canadian agency and provincial securities and commercial paper investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value.

Commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives – The fair values of commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives are estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward curves and data obtained from independent third parties for contracts with similar terms or data obtained from counterparties to the agreements.

Debt – Devon’s debt instruments do not actively trade in an established market. The fair values of its fixed-rate debt and floating-rate debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity. The fair value of Devon’s commercial paper and credit facility borrowings are the carrying values.

DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Long-term investments – Devon’s long-term investments presented in the tables above consisted entirely of auction rate securities. Due to auction failures and the lack of an active market for Devon’s auction rate securities, quoted market prices for these securities were not available. Therefore, Devon used valuation techniques that rely on unobservable inputs to estimate the fair values of its long-term auction rate securities. These inputs were based on continued receipts of principal at par, the collection of all accrued interest to date, the probability of full repayment of the securities considering the United States government guarantees substantially all of the underlying student loans, and the AAA credit rating of the securities. As a result of using these inputs, Devon concluded the estimated fair values of its long-term auction rate securities approximated the par values as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Included below is a summary of the changes in Devon’s Level 3 fair value measurements.

21.Segment Information

Devon manages its operations through distinct operating segments, which are defined primarily by geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its U.S. operating segments into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of the businesses. However, Devon’s Canadian operating segment is reported as a separate reporting segment primarily due to the significant differences between the U.S. and Canadian regulatory environments. Devon’s segments are all primarily engaged in oil and gas producing activities, and certain information regarding such activities for each segment is included in Note 22. Segment revenues are all from external customers.

Costs incurred in the tables above include additions and revisions to Devon’s asset retirement obligations. The proceeds received from our joint venture transactions at closing have not been netted against the costs incurred. At December 31, 2013, our partners’ remaining commitments to fund our future costs associated with these joint venture transactions totaled approximately $1.4 billion.

Pursuant to the full cost method of accounting, Devon capitalizes certain of its general and administrative expenses that are related to property acquisition, exploration and development activities. Such capitalized expenses, which are included in the costs shown in the preceding tables, were $368 million, $359 million and

$337 million in the years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also, Devon capitalizes interest costs incurred and attributable to unproved oil and gas properties and major development projects of oil and gas properties. Capitalized interest expenses, which are included in the costs shown in the preceding tables, were $42 million, $36 million and $45 million in the years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Included in the $2.8 billion of oil and gas properties not subject to amortization are approximately $1.6 billion of costs that we deem significant for individual assessment. These costs relate to our investments in the Pike thermal oil project in Canada, the Mississippian-Woodford Trend in Oklahoma and a portion of our properties in the Permian Basin in Texas. Based on our development plans, we expect to begin including the Pike costs in the amortization computation in 2015 when we receive regulatory approval for the first phase of this project and subsequently begin recognizing the associated proved reserves. We are evaluating and developing the Mississippian-Woodford and Permian properties over the next 3 to 4 years. We expect to include the costs in the amortization computation as we complete our evaluation activities.

Results of Operations

The following tables include revenues and expenses associated with Devon’s oil and gas producing activities. They do not include any allocation of Devon’s interest costs or general corporate overhead and, therefore, are not necessarily indicative of the contribution to net earnings of Devon’s oil and gas operations. Income tax expense has been calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to oil, gas and NGL sales after deducting costs, including depreciation, depletion and amortization and after giving effect to permanent differences.

Proved Undeveloped Reserves

The following table presents the changes in Devon’s total proved undeveloped reserves during 2013 (in MMBoe).

Proved undeveloped reserves as of December 31, 2013258443701

At December 31, 2013, Devon had 701 MMBoe of proved undeveloped reserves. This represents a 17 percent decrease as compared to 2012 and represents 24 percent of total proved reserves. Drilling and development activities increased Devon’s proved undeveloped reserves 95 MMBoe and resulted in the conversion of 147 MMBoe, or 18 percent, of the 2012 proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves. Costs incurred related to the development and conversion of Devon’s proved undeveloped reserves were $1.9 billion for 2013. Additionally, revisions other than price decreased Devon’s proved undeveloped reserves 78 MMBoe primarily due to evaluations of certain U.S. onshore dry-gas areas, which Devon does not expect to develop in the next five years. The largest revisions relate to the dry-gas areas in the Cana-Woodford Shale in western Oklahoma, Carthage in east Texas and the Barnett Shale in north Texas.

A significant amount of Devon’s proved undeveloped reserves at the end of 2013 related to its Jackfish operations. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, Devon’s Jackfish proved undeveloped reserves were 441 MMBoe and 429 MMBoe, respectively. Development schedules for the Jackfish reserves are primarily controlled by the need to keep the processing plants at their 35,000 barrel daily facility capacity. Processing plant capacity is controlled by factors such as total steam processing capacity, steam-oil ratios and air quality discharge permits. As a result, these reserves are classified as proved undeveloped for more than five years. Currently, the development schedule for these reserves extends though the year 2031.

Price Revisions

2013 – Reserves increased 94 MMBoe primarily due to higher gas prices. Of this increase, 43 MMBoe related to the Barnett Shale and 19 MMBoe related to the Rocky Mountain area.

2012 – Reserves decreased 171 MMBoe primarily due to lower gas prices. Of this decrease, 100 MMBoe related to the Barnett Shale and 25 MMBoe related to the Rocky Mountain area.

2011 – Reserves decreased 21 MMBoe due to lower gas prices and higher oil prices. The higher oil prices increased Devon’s Canadian royalty burden, which reduced Devon’s oil reserves.

Revisions Other Than Price

Total revisions other than price for 2013, 2012 and 2011 primarily related to Devon’s evaluation of certain dry gas regions, with the largest revisions being made in the Cana-Woodford Shale, Barnett Shale and Carthage area.

Extensions and Discoveries

2013 – Of the 261 MMBoe of extensions and discoveries, 76 MMBoe related to the Permian Basin in west Texas and southeast New Mexico, 54 MMBoe related to the Barnett Shale, 42 MMBoe related to the Anadarko Basin, 38 MMBoe related to Jackfish in northeast Alberta, Canada and 32 MMBoe related to the Mississippian-Woodford Trend in north Oklahoma.

The 2013 extensions and discoveries included 175 MMBoe related to additions from Devon’s infill drilling activities, including 23 MMBoe at the Cana-Woodford Shale, 54 MMBoe at the Barnett Shale, 38 MMBoe at Jackfish, 33 MMBoe at the Permian Basin and 20 MMBoe at the Mississippian-Woodford Trend.

2012 – Of the 449 MMBoe of extensions and discoveries, 151 MMBoe related to the Cana-Woodford Shale, 95 MMBoe related to the Barnett Shale, 72 MMBoe related to the Permian Basin, 67 MMBoe related to Jackfish, 16 MMBoe related to the Rocky Mountain area and 18 MMBoe related to the Granite Wash area.

The 2012 extensions and discoveries included 229 MMBoe related to additions from Devon’s infill drilling activities, including 134 MMBoe at the Cana-Woodford Shale and 82 MMBoe at the Barnett Shale.

2011 – Of the 421 MMBoe of extensions and discoveries, 162 MMBoe related to the Cana-Woodford Shale, 115 MMBoe related to the Barnett Shale, 39 MMBoe related to the Permian Basin, 30 MMBoe related to Jackfish, 19 MMBoe related to the Rocky Mountain area and 17 MMBoe related to the Granite Wash area.

The 2011 extensions and discoveries included 168 MMBoe related to additions from Devon’s infill drilling activities, including 80 MMBoe at the Cana-Woodford Shale and 77 MMBoe at the Barnett Shale.

Future cash inflows, development costs and production costs were computed using the same assumptions for prices and costs that were used to estimate Devon’s proved oil and gas reserves at the end of each year. For 2013 estimates, Devon’s future realized prices were assumed to be $88.19 per barrel of oil, $47.44 per barrel of bitumen, $3.10 per Mcf of gas and $26.28 per barrel of natural gas liquids. Of the $10.8 billion of future development costs as of the end of 2013, $1.9 billion, $1.5 billion and $0.7 billion are estimated to be spent in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Future development costs include not only development costs, but also future asset retirement costs. Included as part of the $10.8 billion of future development costs are $2.7 billion of future asset retirement costs. The future income tax expenses have been computed using statutory tax rates, giving effect to allowable tax deductions and tax credits under current laws.
