Rewritten

This commodity price decline adversely affected our business and results of operations and led to substantial impairments to our oil and gas properties during [removed: 2015 and 2016.][added: 2015.]

Rewritten

[added: In addition, the reserve estimates for a] given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of several factors, including additional development [added: and appraisal] activity, the viability of production under varying economic conditions, including commodity price declines, and variations in production levels and associated costs.

Rewritten

The production rates from oil and gas properties generally decline as reserves are depleted, while related per unit production costs generally [removed: increase,] [added: increase] due to decreasing reservoir pressures and other factors.

Rewritten

[removed: Future Exploration] [added: Oil] and [removed: Drilling Results] [added: Gas Operations] Are Uncertain and Involve Substantial Costs [added: and Risks]

Rewritten

Our [removed: exploration and development] [added: operating] activities are subject to numerous costs and risks, including the risk that we will not encounter commercially productive oil or gas reservoirs.

Rewritten

In addition, our oil and gas properties can become damaged, our [removed: drilling] operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled and the costs of such operations may increase as a result of a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

Rewritten

[removed: The occurrence of one or more] [added: Moreover, certain] of these [removed: factors] [added: events] could result in [removed: a partial or total loss of our investment in a particular property,] [added: environmental pollution] and [removed: certain of these events, particularly equipment failures or accidents, could] impact [added: to] third parties, including persons living in proximity to our operations, our employees and employees of our contractors, leading to possible injuries, death or significant [added: damage to] property [removed: damage.][added: and natural resources.]

Rewritten

In addition, changes in public policy have affected, and [removed: at times] in the future could [added: further] affect, our operations.

Rewritten

Hydraulic Fracturing – [removed: The EPA and other federal agencies, including] [added: In recent years,] the [removed: BLM, have] [added: EPA has] made proposals that [removed: would] subject hydraulic fracturing to further regulation and [added: that] could [added: potentially] restrict the practice of hydraulic fracturing.

Rewritten

For example, the EPA has issued final regulations under the federal Clean Air Act establishing performance standards for oil and gas activities, including standards for the capture of air emissions released during hydraulic fracturing and finalized in [removed: June] 2016 regulations that prohibit the discharge of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing operations to publicly owned wastewater treatment plants.

Rewritten

The EPA also released a study in [removed: December] 2016 finding that certain aspects of hydraulic fracturing, such as water withdrawals and wastewater management practices, could result in impacts to water resources, although the report did not identify a direct link between hydraulic fracturing and impacts to groundwater resources.

Rewritten

[removed: The BLM and several] [added: Several] states [added: in which we operate] have already adopted and more states are considering adopting laws and/or regulations that require disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing and impose more stringent permitting, disclosure and well-construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations.

Rewritten

For example, in [removed: March] 2016 PHMSA proposed new rules for gas pipelines that extend pipeline safety programs beyond high consequence areas to newly proposed “moderate consequence areas” and would also impose more rigorous testing and reporting requirements on such pipelines.

Rewritten

Seismic Activity – [removed: Recent earthquakes] [added: Earthquakes] in northern and central Oklahoma and elsewhere have prompted concerns about seismic activity and possible relationships with the energy industry.

Rewritten

Legislative and regulatory initiatives intended to address these concerns may result in additional levels of regulation [added: or other requirements] that could lead to operational delays, increase our operating and compliance costs or otherwise adversely affect our operations.

Rewritten

[removed: Potential] Changes to Tax Laws – We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income or capital taxes in various state and foreign jurisdictions, and our operating cash flow is sensitive to the amount of income taxes we must pay.

Rewritten

For example, both the EPA and the BLM have issued regulations for the control of methane emissions, which also include leak detection and repair requirements, for the oil and gas [removed: industry.][added: industry; however, following the change in presidential administrations, both agencies have published proposed rules that seek to delay implementation of their previously issued methane standards while the agencies review and reconsider both rules.]

Rewritten

[removed: Although it is not possible at this time to predict how legislation or new regulations that may be adopted to address] [added: These various legislative, regulatory and other activities addressing] greenhouse gas emissions [removed: would impact] [added: could adversely affect] our business, [removed: any such future laws and regulations] [added: including by] imposing reporting obligations on, or limiting emissions of greenhouse gases from, our equipment and [removed: operations] [added: operations, which] could require us to incur costs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases associated with our operations.

Rewritten

Limitations on greenhouse gas emissions could also adversely affect demand for oil and gas, which could [added: lower the value of our reserves and] have a material adverse effect on our profitability, financial condition and liquidity.

Rewritten

To the extent that we engage in price risk management activities to protect ourselves from [added: commodity price declines, we may be prevented from fully realizing the benefits of commodity price increases above the prices established by our hedging contracts.]

Rewritten

Moreover, as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and other legislation, hedging transactions and many of our contract counterparties have [removed: come under increasing] [added: become subject to increased] governmental oversight and regulations in recent years.

Rewritten

We sell our oil, gas and NGLs to a variety of purchasers, and, as an operator, we pay expenses and bill our non-operating partners for their respective [removed: shares] [added: share] of costs.

Rewritten

Certain of these counterparties may experience [added: insolvency,] liquidity problems or other issues and may not be able to meet their [removed: financial] obligations [removed: to] [added: and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) owed to, and assumed from,] us, particularly during a depressed or volatile commodity price environment.

Rewritten

Any such default by these counterparties [added: may result in us being forced to cover the costs of those obligations and liabilities, which] could adversely impact our financial [removed: results.][added: results and condition.]

Rewritten

As of December 31, [removed: 2016,] [added: 2017,] we had total consolidated indebtedness of [removed: $10.2] [added: $10.4] billion.

Rewritten

Factors that may impact our credit ratings include, among others, debt levels, planned [removed: assets] [added: asset] sales and purchases, liquidity, forecasted production growth and commodity prices.

Rewritten

[removed: Due to our current credit ratings, we] [added: We] are [added: currently] required to provide letters of credit or other assurances under certain of our contractual arrangements.

Rewritten

[removed: Further] [added: Any credit] downgrades could adversely impact our ability to access financing and trade credit, require us to provide additional letters of credit or other assurances under contractual arrangements and increase our interest rate under any credit facility borrowing as well as the cost of any other future debt.

Rewritten

Cyber Attacks [removed: Targeting Our Systems and Infrastructure] May Adversely Impact Our Operations

Rewritten

Cyber [removed: attacks] [added: attackers] often attempt to gain unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating [removed: assets or] sensitive information, [added: intellectual property or other assets,] corrupting data or causing operational [removed: disruption and may be carried out by third parties or insiders.][added: disruptions.]

Rewritten

[removed: The techniques utilized] [added: Techniques used in these attacks] range from highly sophisticated efforts to electronically circumvent network security to more traditional intelligence gathering and social engineering aimed at obtaining information necessary to gain access.

Rewritten

Although we have not suffered material losses related to cyber attacks to date, if we were successfully attacked, we could incur substantial remediation and other costs or suffer other negative [removed: consequences.][added: consequences, including litigation risks.]

Rewritten

[removed: Our] [added: As discussed above, our] business is hazardous and is subject to all of the operating risks normally associated with the exploration, development, production, processing and transportation of oil, gas and NGLs.

Rewritten

[removed: Such risks include potential blowouts, cratering,] [added: | | • |] fires, [added: explosions, blowouts, cratering or] loss of well control, [added: as well as the] mishandling [removed: of fluids and chemicals and possible] [added: or] underground migration of [removed: hydrocarbons] [added: fluids] and [removed: chemicals.][added: chemicals; |]

Rewritten

To mitigate financial losses resulting from these operational hazards, we maintain comprehensive general liability insurance, as well as insurance coverage against certain losses resulting from physical damages, loss of well [added: control, business interruption and pollution events that are considered sudden and accidental.]

New in FY2017

For example, in recent years, NYMEX WTI oil and NYMEX Henry Hub prices ranged from a high of over $100 per Bbl and $6 per MMBtu, respectively, to a low of under $27 per Bbl and $1.70 per MMBtu, respectively.

New in FY2017

Commodity prices began to decline in the second half of 2014 and, despite a moderate recovery, have generally been pressured since then.

New in FY2017

| | • | restricted takeaway capacity for our production, including due to inadequate midstream infrastructure or constrained downstream markets; |

New in FY2017

The occurrence of one or more of these factors could result in a partial or total loss of our investment in a particular property, as well as significant liabilities.

New in FY2017

The BLM previously finalized regulations to regulate hydraulic fracturing on federal lands, but subsequently issued a repeal of those regulations in 2017.

New in FY2017

To date, no further action has been taken.

New in FY2017

Following the change in presidential administrations, implementation of this rule was delayed, but the final rule is expected to be published in the Federal Register and become effective during the first quarter of 2018.

New in FY2017

Recently enacted legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Legislation”) significantly affects U.S. tax law by changing how the U.S. imposes income tax on multinational corporations.

New in FY2017

These changes include, among others, a permanent reduction to the corporate income tax offset by other items intended to broaden the tax base (for example, by imposing significant additional limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and limiting the ability to deduct net operating losses).

New in FY2017

The U.S. Department of Treasury has broad authority to issue regulations and interpretative guidance that may significantly impact how we will apply the law and impact our results of operations in the period issued.

New in FY2017

Further, compliance with the Tax Reform Legislation and the accounting for such provisions require complex computations and accumulation of information not previously required or regularly produced.

New in FY2017

As a result, we have provided a provisional estimate in our financial statements of the effect of the Tax Reform Legislation.

New in FY2017

As additional regulatory guidance is issued by the applicable taxing authorities, as accounting treatment is clarified, as we perform additional analysis on the application of the law, and as we refine estimates in calculating the effect, our final analysis, which will be recorded in the period completed, may be different from our current provisional amounts, which could materially affect our tax obligations and effective tax rate.

New in FY2017

Climate Change – Continuing political and social attention to the issue of climate change has resulted in legislative, regulatory and other initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane.

New in FY2017

Nevertheless, several states where we operate, including Wyoming, have imposed venting and flaring limitations designed to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas exploration and production activities.

New in FY2017

In Canada, greenhouse gas emissions are also being addressed at both the federal and provincial level.

New in FY2017

Recent climate policies include a legislated oil sands emission limit, and forthcoming policies include methane emissions reduction targets.

New in FY2017

Beginning January 1, 2018, large industrial emitters are subject to the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation (CCIR).

New in FY2017

This regulation prices carbon, but provides cost protection to emission-intensive / trade-exposed industries, including Devon’s oil sands operations.

New in FY2017

The impact to our operations from these regulations is expected to be minimal in the near term.

New in FY2017

Oil and gas facilities that are not subject to the CCIR are exempt from the economy-wide carbon levy until 2023.

New in FY2017

In addition, activists concerned about the potential effects of climate change have directed their attention at sources of funding for fossil-fuel energy companies, which has resulted in certain financial institutions, funds and other sources of capital restricting or eliminating their investment in oil and natural gas activities.

New in FY2017

Ultimately, this could make it more difficult to secure funding for exploration and production activities.

New in FY2017

Our business has become increasingly dependent on digital technologies, and we anticipate expanding our use of technology in our operations, including through process automation and data analytics.

New in FY2017

Concurrent with this growing dependence on technology is greater sensitivity to cyberattack activities, which have been increasing against our industry.

New in FY2017

These attacks may be perpetrated by third parties or insiders.

New in FY2017

In addition, our vendors, midstream providers and other business partners may separately suffer disruptions or breaches from cyber attacks, which, in turn, could adversely impact our operations and compromise our information.

Dropped from FY2016

For example, during the period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016, NYMEX WTI oil prices ranged from a high of $107.26 per Bbl to a low of $26.21 per Bbl.

Dropped from FY2016

Dropped from FY2016

In past years, legislation has been proposed that would, if enacted into law, make significant changes to U.S. tax laws, including to certain key U.S. federal income tax provisions currently available to oil and gas companies.

Dropped from FY2016

Such legislative changes have included, but not been limited to, (i) the repeal of the percentage depletion allowance for oil and gas properties, (ii) the elimination of current deductions for intangible drilling and development costs, (iii) the elimination of the deduction for certain domestic production activities and (iv) an extension of the amortization period for certain geological and geophysical expenditures.

Dropped from FY2016

Congress could consider, and could include, some or all of these proposals as part of tax reform legislation, to accompany lower federal income tax rates.

Dropped from FY2016

Moreover, other more general features of tax reform legislation, including changes to cost recovery rules and to the deductibility of interest expense, may be developed that also would change the taxation of oil and gas companies.

Dropped from FY2016

It is unclear whether these or similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could take effect.

Dropped from FY2016

The passage of any legislation as a result of these proposals or any similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could eliminate or postpone certain tax deductions that currently are available with respect to oil and gas development, or increase costs, and any such changes could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Dropped from FY2016

Climate Change – Policy makers in the U.S. and Canada are increasingly focusing on whether the emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are contributing to harmful climatic changes.

Dropped from FY2016

In 2015, Alberta released a new Climate Leadership Plan.

Dropped from FY2016

This plan includes implementing an economy-wide carbon price effective in 2017.

Dropped from FY2016

The plan also includes a legislated limit for oil sands emissions and a methane emission reduction plan which are under development.

Dropped from FY2016

Regulations are expected to be finalized by 2018.

Dropped from FY2016

It is expected that these initiatives will create additional costs for the Alberta oil and gas industry.

New in FY2017

During 2017, we generated solid operating results with our strategy of operating in North America’s best resource plays, delivering superior execution, continuing disciplined capital allocation and maintaining a high degree of financial strength.

New in FY2017

Led by our development in the STACK and Delaware Basin, we continued to improve our 90-day initial production rates.

New in FY2017

With investments in proprietary data tools, predictive analytics and artificial intelligence, we are delivering industry-leading, initial-rate well productivity performance and improving the performance of our established wells.

New in FY2017

Compared to 2016, commodity prices increased significantly and were the primary driver for improvements in Devon’s earnings and cash flow during 2017.

New in FY2017

We exited 2017 with liquidity comprised of $2.7 billion of cash and $2.9 billion of available credit under our Senior Credit Facility.

New in FY2017

We have no significant debt maturities until 2021.

New in FY2017

We further enhanced our financial strength by completing approximately $415 million of our announced $1 billion asset divestiture program in 2017.

New in FY2017

We anticipate closing the remaining divestitures in 2018.

During 2017, WTI oil prices ranged from approximately $42.00/Bbl to $60.00/Bbl, supported by increasing global demand and historically high OPEC compliance with its oil production cuts that were put in place in 2016 for the first half of 2017.

New in FY2017

As such, we anticipate continued volatility into 2018 and we continue to execute on our hedging strategy to mitigate such volatility.

New in FY2017

Leveraging the success of our 2017 results, we have a solid financial condition and anticipate expanding our oil and gas investment by approximately 10% in 2018, while drilling and completing approximately 25% more wells.

Despite the challenges our company and the entire upstream energy sector have faced from the sustained low commodity price environment, we have continued to execute our strategy and position our company for long-term success.

Dropped from FY2016

Although we have seen moderate improvements in oil and natural gas prices over the course of 2016, prices for oil and natural gas were still significantly lower than 2015 and 2014 and remain under pressure due to excess supply concerns.
