[removed: Our] [added: Our] Business Has Been Adversely Impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic, and We May Experience Continuing or Worsening Adverse Effects From This or Other [removed: Pandemics][added: Pandemics]
The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions [removed: have] created significant volatility, uncertainty and turmoil in the oil and gas [removed: industry.][added: industry and the broader economy.]
The pandemic and the related responses of governmental authorities and others to limit the spread of the virus significantly reduced global economic activity, which resulted in an unprecedented decline in the demand for oil and other commodities during [removed: 2020.][added: 2020, along with a corresponding deterioration in commodity prices.]
Although commodity prices subsequently [removed: recovered, COVID-19 or] [added: recovered after their decline in 2020, COVID-19,] its variants [removed: may] [added: or any other future pandemic could] lead to similar protracted periods of depressed commodity [removed: prices, which] [added: prices or result] in [removed: turn could have] [added: other] significant adverse consequences [removed: for] [added: to] our [removed: financial condition and liquidity.][added: business.]
[removed: Estimates] [added: Estimates] of Oil, Gas and NGL Reserves Are Uncertain and May Be Subject to [removed: Revision][added: Revision]
In addition, the reserve estimates for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of several factors, including additional development and appraisal [removed: activity,] [added: activity and] the [added: related impact to spacing assumptions for future drilling locations, the] viability of production under varying economic conditions, including commodity price declines, and variations in production levels and associated costs.
Consequently, material revisions to [added: our] existing reserves estimates may occur as a result of changes in any of these [added: or other] factors.
[removed: Discoveries] [added: Discoveries] or Acquisitions of Reserves Are Needed to Avoid a Material Decline in Reserves and Production, and Such Activities Are Capital [removed: Intensive][added: Intensive]
Therefore, our estimated proved reserves and future oil, gas and NGL production will decline materially as reserves are produced unless we conduct successful exploration and development activities, such as identifying additional producing zones in existing [removed: wells,] [added: properties,] utilizing secondary or tertiary recovery techniques or acquiring additional properties containing proved reserves.
[removed: We] [added: We] Are Subject to Extensive Governmental Regulation, Which Can Change and Could Adversely Impact Our [removed: Business][added: Business]
Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, tribal and local [removed: laws, rules] [added: laws] and regulations, including with respect to environmental matters, worker health and safety, wildlife conservation, the gathering and transportation of oil, gas and NGLs, conservation policies, reporting obligations, royalty payments, unclaimed property and the imposition of taxes.
[removed: For example,] [added: Moreover,] certain regulations require the plugging and abandonment of [removed: wells and] [added: wells,] removal of production facilities [added: and other restorative actions] by current and former operators, including corporate successors of former operators.
[removed: In addition, changes] [added: Changes] in public policy have affected, and in the future could further affect, our operations.
These and other regulatory and public policy developments could, among other things, restrict production levels, delay necessary permitting, impose price controls, change environmental protection requirements, impose restrictions on pipelines or other necessary [removed: infrastructure and increase] [added: infrastructure, raise] taxes, royalties and other amounts payable to governments or governmental [removed: agencies.][added: agencies and otherwise increase our operating costs.]
[removed: Federal Lands] [added: *Federal Lands*] – President Biden and certain members of his administration have expressed support for, and have taken steps to implement, additional regulation of oil and gas leasing and permitting on federal lands.
For example, President Biden issued an executive order in January [removed: 2021 directing the Secretary of the Interior to] [added: 2021, imposing a near total] pause on entering new oil and gas leases on public [removed: lands to the extent possible and to launch a rigorous review of all existing leasing and permitting practices related to fossil fuel development on public] lands.
[removed: The] [added: Although the pause on leasing was subsequently lifted in April 2022, the Department of the Interior issued a] report [added: on the federal leasing program in November 2021 that] recommended various [removed: changes to the program,] [added: changes,] including, among other things, [removed: increasing royalty and rental rates,] enhancing bonding requirements and applying a more rigorous land-use planning process prior to leasing.
However, certain of the report’s recommendations require [added: further] Congressional actions, and we cannot predict to what extent, if any, the Department of the Interior may be able to promulgate rules implementing the [added: remaining] recommendations of the November 2021 report.
As of December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] less than 20% of our total leasehold resides on federal lands, which is primarily located in the Delaware and Powder River Basins.
[removed: Hydraulic Fracturing] [added: *Hydraulic Fracturing*] – Various federal agencies have asserted regulatory authority over certain aspects of the hydraulic fracturing process.
For example, the EPA has issued 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 it [added: previously] finalized [removed: in 2016] regulations that prohibit the discharge of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing operations to publicly owned wastewater treatment plants.
Moreover, several [removed: states] [added: state and local governments] in [added: areas in] which we operate have adopted, or stated intentions to adopt, laws or regulations that mandate further restrictions on hydraulic fracturing, such as requiring disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, imposing more stringent permitting, disclosure and well-construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations and establishing standards for the capture of air emissions released during hydraulic fracturing.
[removed: Environmental] [added: *Environmental] Laws [removed: Generally] [added: Generally*] – In addition to regulatory efforts focused on hydraulic fracturing, we are subject to various other federal, state, tribal and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment.
[removed: Seismic Activity] [added: *Seismic Activity*] – Earthquakes in [removed: northern and central Oklahoma,] southeastern New Mexico, western [removed: Texas] [added: Texas, northern] and [added: central Oklahoma and] elsewhere have prompted concerns about seismic activity and possible relationships with the oil and gas industry, particularly the disposal of wastewater in salt-water disposal wells.
Risks Related to Our Industry
[Index to Financial Statements](#indextofinancialstatements)
the overall economic environment, including inflationary pressures and rising interest rates;
For example, we recognized asset impairments of $2.7 billion in 2020 due to the significant decrease in commodity prices resulting primarily from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, our oil and gas properties can become damaged, our operations may
[Index to Financial Statements](#indextofinancialstatements)
Many of the factors described above have negatively impacted our operations in the past and may do so again in the future.
Moreover, many of our contract counterparties have become subject to increasing governmental oversight and regulations in recent years, which could adversely affect the cost and availability of our hedging arrangements.
[Index to Financial Statements](#indextofinancialstatements)
Such interruptions or constraints could adversely impact our operations, including by requiring us to curtail our production or obtain alternative takeaway capacity on less favorable terms.
The rising costs and scarcity caused by this competitive pressure will generally increase during periods of higher commodity prices and can be further exacerbated by higher inflation rates and supply chain disruptions in the broader economy.
For example, we experienced higher operating costs throughout 2022 due to these factors, and we expect such inflationary pressures to continue in 2023.
Legal, Regulatory and Environmental Risks
We have incurred and will continue to incur substantial capital, operating and remediation costs as a result of these and other laws, regulations, permits and orders to which we are subject.
The IRA, for instance, contains hundreds of billions of dollars in incentives for the development of renewable energy, clean fuels and carbon capture and sequestration, among other provisions, potentially further accelerating the transition toward lower-or zero-carbon emissions alternatives to fossil fuels.
[Index to Financial Statements](#indextofinancialstatements)
The IRA responded, in part, to the report’s recommendations by increasing onshore royalty rates on all new federal leases.
[Index to Financial Statements](#indextofinancialstatements)
In addition, the IRA includes various changes to the federal tax laws beginning in 2023, including (i) a new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on “adjusted financial statement income” and (ii) a new 1% excise tax on stock repurchases.
While we are still evaluating the full impact of this legislation, and await further guidance and clarifications from the U.S. Treasury, we expect incremental taxes attributable to these new tax provisions.
Moreover, the recently enacted IRA imposes a new charge or fee with respect to excess methane emissions from certain petroleum and natural gas facilities starting in 2024 and annually increasing through 2026.
Policy makers have also advocated for expanding existing, or creating new, reporting and disclosure requirements regarding GHG emissions and other climate-related matters.
For example, the EPA proposed amendments in June 2022 to its Green House Gas Reporting Program, which would, among other things, add well blowouts and other abnormal events as new categories of sources for GHG emissions reporting.
In addition, the SEC proposed rules in March 2022 that would require public companies to include extensive climate-related disclosures in their SEC filings.
Among other things, the proposed SEC rules, if adopted as written, would mandate disclosures on (i) GHG emissions, including Scope 3 emissions if material or part of a company’s emissions goal, (ii) financial impact and expenditure metrics relating to severe weather and climate change and (iii) a company’s use of scenario analysis and climate targets.
Although the SEC has not finalized these rules, we would expect to incur substantial additional compliance costs to the extent these or similar rules are adopted.
We further anticipate the costs and other risks associated with any such disclosure requirements to be particularly heightened, given that reporting frameworks on GHG emissions and other climate-related metrics are still maturing and often require the use of numerous assumptions and judgments.
Additionally, public statements with respect to emissions reduction goals, environmental targets or, more broadly, ESG-related goals, are becoming increasingly subject to heightened scrutiny from public and governmental authorities with respect to the risk of potential “greenwashing,” i.e., misleading information or false claims overstating potential ESG benefits.
For example, in March 2021, the SEC established the Climate and ESG Task Force in the Division of Enforcement to identify and address potential ESG-related misconduct, including greenwashing.
Certain non-governmental organizations and other private actors have filed lawsuits under various securities and consumer protection laws alleging that certain ESG-statements were misleading, false, or otherwise deceptive.
As a result, we may face increased litigation risks which could, in turn, lead to further negative sentiment against us and our industry.

Price Controls, Export Restrictions and Other Governmental Interventions in Energy Markets May Adversely Impact our Business
Domestic and foreign governmental bodies have from time to time intervened in energy markets by imposing price controls, restricting exports, limiting production or otherwise taking actions to impact the availability and price of oil, natural gas and NGLs.
For instance, members of the European Union agreed to a price-cap framework in December 2022 for the trading of natural gas in response to rising energy costs in Europe.
Similarly, during 2021 and 2022, President Biden authorized several releases from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve in an effort to lower domestic energy prices.
Governments may take similar actions in the future, particularly in the event of disruption in energy markets or national emergency.
Any such interventions could adversely impact our business, including by depressing the price of our production and generally introducing greater uncertainty to our operations.
General and Other Risks Facing our Business
| --- | --- | --- |
| | • | the overall economic environment; |
This decline contributed to a swift and material deterioration in commodity prices in early 2020.
Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to disruption and volatility in our supply chain, which has resulted, and may continue to result, in increased costs and delays for pipe and other materials needed for our operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions aimed at mitigating its spread have caused us and our service providers to modify certain of our business practices.
There is no certainty that these or any other future measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, including the risk of infection of key employees.
Our operations also may be adversely affected if we or our service providers are unable to retain sufficient personnel or such personnel are unable to work effectively, including because of
illness, quarantines, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic.
Moreover, our ability to perform certain functions could be disrupted or otherwise impaired by new business practices arising from the pandemic.
For example, our reliance on technology has necessarily increased due to the encouragement of remote communications and other social-distancing practices, which could make us more vulnerable to cyber attacks.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its related effects continue to evolve.
The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and any other future pandemic on our business will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the nature, duration and spread of the virus, the vaccination and other responsive actions to stop its spread or address its effects and the duration, timing and severity of the related consequences on commodity prices and the economy more generally.
Any extended period of depressed commodity prices or general economic disruption as a result of a pandemic would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, we may be required to make large expenditures to comply with applicable governmental laws, rules, regulations, permits or orders.
These requirements may result in significant costs associated with the removal of tangible equipment and other restorative actions.
Our operating and other compliance costs could increase further if existing laws and regulations are revised or reinterpreted, or if new laws and regulations become applicable to our operations.
Although the pause on leasing was lifted in June 2021, the Department of the Interior subsequently issued its report on the federal leasing program in November 2021.
The EPA also released a report in 2016 finding that certain aspects of hydraulic fracturing, such as water withdrawals and wastewater management practices, could result in impacts to water resources in certain circumstances.
The BLM previously finalized regulations to regulate hydraulic fracturing on federal lands but subsequently issued a repeal of those regulations in 2017.
In addition to state laws, local land use restrictions, such as city ordinances, may restrict drilling in general or hydraulic fracturing in particular.
or otherwise adversely affect our operations.
In addition, we are currently defending against certain third-party lawsuits and could be subject to additional claims, seeking alleged property damages or other remedies as a result of alleged induced seismic activity in our areas of operation.
In addition, new taxes are from time to time proposed (such as minimum taxes on net book income) and, if enacted, could adversely impact us.
The EPA plans to issue a supplemental proposal in 2022 containing additional requirements not included in the November 2021 proposed rule and anticipates the issuance of a final rule by the end of the year.
Congress also recently considered legislation that included a proposal to apply a fee on certain methane emissions from oil and gas facilities, although the fate of this “methane fee” is uncertain at this time.
hedging contracts.
Although we cannot predict the ultimate impact of laws and related rulemaking, some of which is ongoing, existing or future regulations may adversely affect the cost and availability of our hedging arrangements.
These attacks may be perpetrated by third parties or insiders.
Techniques used in these attacks often 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.
Cyber attacks may also be performed in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as by causing denial-of-service attacks.
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 consequences, including litigation risks.
Such interruptions or constraints could negatively impact our production and associated profitability.
Typically, during times of rising commodity prices, drilling and operating costs will also increase.
During these periods, there is often a shortage of drilling rigs and other oilfield services, which could adversely affect our ability to execute our development plans on a timely basis and within budget.

[removed: Executive Overview][added: Executive Overview]
[removed: The] [added: Looking across our 2021 and 2022 performance, the] Merger has helped us become a leading unconventional oil producer in the U.S., with an asset base underpinned by premium acreage in the economic core of the Delaware Basin.
This strategic combination [removed: accelerates] [added: accelerated] our transition to a cash-return business model, including the implementation of a fixed plus variable dividend strategy.
We remain focused on building economic value by executing on our strategic priorities of [removed: achieving disciplined oil volume] [added: moderating production] growth, [removed: capturing operational] [added: emphasizing capital] and [removed: corporate synergies, reducing] [added: operational efficiencies, optimizing] reinvestment rates to maximize free cash flow, maintaining low leverage, delivering cash returns to our shareholders and pursuing ESG excellence.
Our [removed: recent] [added: 2022] performance highlights for these priorities include the following items:
[removed: | | • | Generated $4.9 billion of operating cash flow in 2021. |][added: *Operating Cash Flow*]
Commodity prices strengthened [removed: throughout] [added: in] 2021 [added: and continued to strengthen throughout the majority of 2022,] which [added: has] significantly improved our earnings and cash flow generation.
The increase in commodity prices was primarily driven by increased demand resulting from the [removed: initial] recovery from the COVID-19 [removed: pandemic, as well as OPEC+ and other oil and natural gas producers not rapidly increasing current production levels.][added: pandemic.]
| [removed: ] [added: ] | | As presented in the graph at the left, commodity prices are volatile and heavily influence our financial performance and trends. Over the last four years, NYMEX WTI oil and NYMEX Henry Hub gas prices ranged from average highs of [removed: $67.86] [added: $94.39] per Bbl and [removed: $3.85] [added: $6.65] per MMBtu, respectively, to average lows of $39.59 per Bbl and $2.08 per MMBtu, respectively. |

Led by [removed: an 85%] [added: a 73%] and [removed: 71%] [added: 39%] increase in Henry Hub and WTI from [removed: 2020] [added: 2021] to [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] respectively, our unhedged combined realized price rose [removed: 107%.][added: 38%.]
Additionally, volumes increased [removed: 72%] [added: 7%] from [removed: 2020 to] 2021 [added: to 2022] primarily due to the [removed: Merger as well as] continued development of assets in the Delaware [removed: Basin.][added: Basin and acquisitions in the Williston Basin and Eagle Ford that both closed in the third quarter of 2022.]

In the third quarter of 2022, we acquired additional producing properties and leasehold interests in both the Williston Basin and Eagle Ford that are complementary to our existing acreage, offer operational synergies and add high-quality inventory.
Additionally, our diverse portfolio balances exposure to oil and natural gas prices with access to premium markets to improve realized pricing.
Generated $8.5 billion of operating cash flow in 2022, which is a 74% increase from the prior year.
2022 oil production averaged 299 MBbls/d, which is a 3% increase from the prior year.
As of December 31, 2022, completed approximately 65% of our authorized $2.0 billion share repurchase program, with 25.7 million of our common shares repurchased for $1.3 billion, or $50.90 per share, since inception of the plan.
Exited 2022 with $4.5 billion of liquidity, including $1.5 billion of cash.
Including variable dividends, paid dividends of approximately $3.4 billion in 2022 and have declared $579 million of dividends to be paid in the first quarter of 2023, which is inclusive of an 11% increase to our fixed quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share.
Invested approximately $100 million in emissions reduction capital projects in 2022.
We remain committed to capital discipline and delivering the objectives that underpin our current plan.
Those objectives prioritize value creation through moderated capital investment and production growth, particularly with a view of the volatility in commodity prices, supply chain constraints and the economic uncertainty arising from recent geopolitical events.
The military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related economic sanctions imposed on Russia, as well as OPEC+ restraining production growth, further exacerbated supply shortages, causing oil

prices to increase even more throughout most of 2022.
However, oil prices did begin to decline in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to economic uncertainty surrounding inflation and increased interest rates as well as certain geopolitical events.

during 2022 as commodity prices continued to strengthen and we executed on our strategic priorities as a company.
We have continued to deliver strong cash flow and EBITDAX results primarily due to improved commodity prices and overall market conditions as well as strong operating performance.
We currently have $6.4 billion of debt outstanding, of which approximately $250 million is classified as short-term.
We repurchased approximately 11.7 million shares during 2022 for approximately $718 million, or $61.36 per share.
As of December 31, 2022, we have repurchased approximately 25.7 million shares for approximately $1.3 billion, or $50.90 per share, since the inception of the program.
We recently declared a dividend payable in the first quarter of 2023 for $579 million, which includes an 11% increase to our fixed quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share.
The strength of our portfolio of assets, the success of our 2021 transformational merger with WPX and strong commodity prices led us to generate net earnings of $6 billion in 2022, which was more than double that of 2021.
Our portfolio was further strengthened in 2022 following the completion of two bolt-on acquisitions in the Williston Basin and Eagle Ford that were highly complementary to our existing positions in each basin.
Both acquisitions were funded with cash on hand, and our balance sheet and financial position remains strong following the acquisitions.
We remain committed to continuing our track record of industry leading return of capital to our shareholders, underpinned by low capital reinvestment rates and a disciplined, returns-driven strategy which is designed to be successful through

economic cycles.
Crude prices experienced significant improvement from the prior year, but volatility remained.
Current market fundamentals indicate that even though the supply-demand balance for commodities is expected to remain tight due to growing demand and continued discipline by oil producers, market prices for crude oil and natural gas are expected to be lower in 2023 due to ongoing recession fears driven by high inflation levels and rising interest rates.
Additionally, commodity prices could remain volatile as uncertainty still exists from the impact of sanctioned Russian oil in the global market, as well as actions taken by OPEC+ countries in supporting a balanced global crude supply.
Henry Hub natural gas prices continued to strengthen in 2022, averaging $6.65 per Mcf compared to $3.85 per Mcf in 2021.
Natural gas prices rebounded in 2022 due to increased demand, continued capital discipline by producers, high LNG prices and infrastructure constraints.
Looking forward to 2023, natural gas and NGL prices are expected to decline compared to 2022 due to limited LNG export capacity coming online, rising U.S. natural gas production and sufficient storage levels.
Our 2023 capital is expected to be higher than last year partly due to a full year of planned capital spend on assets acquired during 2022.
Additionally, the estimated impact of inflation has also been accounted for in our 2023 capital and operating costs forecasts.
The currently elevated level of cost inflation could erode our cost efficiencies gained over previous years and pressure our margin in 2023, particularly if commodity prices decline.
Despite this, we expect to continue generating material amounts of free cash flow at current commodity price levels due to our strategy of spending within cash flow.
We expect to mitigate the impact of cost inflation through efficiencies gained from the scale of our operations as well as by leveraging our long-standing relationships with our suppliers.

We operate under a disciplined returns-driven strategy focused on delivering strong operational results, financial strength and value to our shareholders and continuing our commitment to ESG excellence, which provides us with a strong foundation to grow returns, margin and profitability.
We continue to execute on our strategy and navigate through various economic environments by protecting our financial strength, maintaining a commitment to capital discipline, improving our cash cost structure and preserving operational continuity.
valuation loss, respectively, net of taxes.
Our cash flow and EBITDAX increased from 2020 to 2021 primarily due to the higher commodity prices and the increase in sold volumes driven by the Merger and improved post-merger operating performance.
We currently have $6.5 billion of debt outstanding with no maturities until August 2023.
We repurchased approximately 14 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2021 for approximately $589 million or $42.15 per share.
We recently declared a dividend payable in the first quarter of 2022 for $663 million.
On January 7, 2021, we completed a transformational merger of equals with WPX, which nearly doubled the size and scale of Devon’s oil production while further strengthening our leadership team, the quality of our portfolio of assets and our balance sheet.
During 2021, we successfully integrated the two companies, capturing our targeted merger synergies and delivering strong financial and operational results to generate $4.9 billion of operating cash flow for the year.
The strategic combination with WPX has accelerated our cash return business model that includes reduced capital reinvestment rates and a disciplined, returns-driven strategy to generate higher free cash flow.
Additionally, our margins have benefited from merger-related synergies, with approximately $600 million in total annual savings, including overhead synergies and interest cost savings from completed debt reductions.
Our disciplined strategy is in response to current market fundamentals that indicate a continued recovery in global oil demand along with an outlook for strong market prices for crude oil and natural gas that also remain inherently volatile.
Crude prices experienced significant improvement from the prior year, but volatility remained due to OPEC oil supply uncertainty and market fears from new COVID-19 variants that could risk the global recovery from the pandemic.
Looking ahead, current market fundamentals indicate that 2022 crude pricing is expected to continue to stabilize, supported both by a continued recovery in global demand with the easing of travel restrictions and expected continued capital discipline by oil producers.
However, uncertainty still exists depending on new COVID-19 variants, as well as
actions taken by OPEC+ countries in supporting a balanced global crude supply.
Natural gas prices rebounded in 2021 due to continued global economic recovery, supply constraints and production declines.
U.S. liquefied natural gas exports also strengthened in 2021 with increased spot prices in Asia and Europe due to increased demand as a result of lifting COVID-19 restrictions and unplanned outages at liquefied natural gas export facilities in other countries.
Looking forward, natural gas and NGL prices are expected to flatten or decrease due to slowing growth in liquefied natural gas exports, rising U.S. natural gas production and warmer-than-expected weather.
Our strategy of spending well within cash flow mitigates risks to our financial strength due to commodity market volatility and provides for a lower level of hedging.
In total, our 2022 operating plan is expected to maintain our oil production at similar levels as 2021.
However, some of our capital cost efficiencies could be eroded by global supply chain disruptions, and demand growth which have led to rising levels of cost inflation that could also impact our capital and operating costs.
Despite these pressures, our capital forecasts account for the estimated impact of such cost inflation and we expect to continue generating material amounts of free cash flow at current commodity price levels.

Due to the Merger closing on January 7, 2021, volumes now include WPX legacy assets in the Delaware Basin in Texas and New Mexico and the Williston Basin in North Dakota.
Volumes associated with these WPX legacy assets were approximately 229 MBoe/d for 2021.
Continued development of Devon legacy assets in the Delaware Basin also increased volumes.
These increases were partially offset by reduced activity across Devon’s remaining legacy assets.

We recently established our standalone ESG team of subject matter experts on sustainability and ESG.
The team provides advisory support across Devon to continue making progress in ESG and sustainability.
As a result of our organizational efforts, environmental objectives and targets are considered in capital allocation decisions, corporate and business unit planning and team strategies to integrate sustainability into our business activities.
To support our commitment to improve our environmental footprint, we spent approximately $100 million in 2022 on capital projects that will directly or indirectly result in emissions reduction and anticipate similar spending in 2023.
Devon’s emission reduction strategy includes a range of potential actions including expanding our leak detection and repair program; deploying advanced leak detection technologies; reducing the volume of natural gas that is flared; electrifying facilities to reduce the use of natural gas and diesel consumed onsite; and optimizing facility design to minimize leaks and eliminate common equipment failures.

In 2022, Devon implemented additional virtual mental health counseling resources available through talk and text, as well as a digital mental health platform providing mental health assessment and education.
During 2022, Devon revised its paid time off practices and launched an additional four-week Paid Family and Medical Leave Policy for all employees to take care of themselves and their families.
In response to the increase in global inflation affecting employees throughout 2022, Devon suspended collection of employee health care premiums through the end of 2023.
In 2022, Devon awarded 14 DEI grants to diverse community organizations throughout Oklahoma and New Mexico, totaling $125,000.
The DEI grant program plans to expand in 2023 to provide DEI grants across all operating areas of the Company.

With the Merger and continuous improvement initiatives, we have built a scalable, multi-basin portfolio of U.S. oil assets and continue to aggressively improve our cost structure to further expand margins.
We have realized annualized cost savings by reducing well costs, production expenses, financing costs and G&A costs.
In 2021, we renamed Devon’s Board Governance Committee as the Governance, Environmental, and Public Policy Committee and expanded the Committee’s Charter to, among other things, underscore environmental performance and integration of sustainability into our business activities.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we formally established a COVID-19 team focused on developing and implementing a number of safety measures to help our employees manage their work and personal responsibilities, with a strong focus on employee well-being, health and safety.
The COVID-19 team established an information campaign to provide employees an understanding of the virus risk factors and safety measures, as well as timely updates from governmental regulations.
In 2021, Devon awarded nine Inclusion and Equity Grants, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to nine diverse community organizations throughout Oklahoma City.

interest in the joint venture legal entity, and HEP serves as the operator.
During 2022, Devon made an investment in Matterhorn.
Matterhorn is a joint venture entity and was formed for the purpose of constructing a natural gas pipeline that will transport natural gas from the Permian Basin to the Katy, Texas area.
Devon’s investment in Matterhorn does not give it the ability to exercise significant influence over Matterhorn.
Devon has other investments largely focused on midstream, new technologies and energy transition initiatives.
Devon does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over these investments.

Fair value measurement of oil and gas properties acquired in the WPX business combination
As discussed in [Note 2](#Acquisitions_Divestitures) to the consolidated financial statements, on January 7, 2021, the Company and WPX completed an all-stock merger of equals.
The Company was treated as the accounting acquirer, and as a result of the transaction, the Company acquired both proved and unproved oil and gas properties.
The acquisition-date fair value for the oil and gas properties was $9.4 billion.
We identified the evaluation of the initial fair value measurement of the oil and gas properties acquired in the WPX transaction as a critical audit matter.
The Company used the income approach methodology in estimating the initial fair value of the acquired oil and gas properties.
There was a high degree of subjective auditor judgment in evaluating the key assumptions used to estimate the discounted future cash flows of the proved and unproved oil and gas properties as changes to the assumptions used could have a significant effect on the determination of the initial fair values.
The key assumptions used in these estimates were forecasted commodity prices, forecasted operating and capital costs, future production quantities, risk adjustment factors associated with the proved and unproved reserve volumes, and the discount rate applied to determine fair value.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter.
We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s acquisition-date valuation process to develop and analyze the key assumptions, as listed above, used to measure the initial fair value of the acquired oil and gas properties.
We assessed compliance of the methodology used by the Company’s internal reservoir engineers to estimate proved and unproved oil and gas reserves with industry and regulatory standards.
We also tested the processes and methodologies used by internal reservoir engineers to estimate unproved future production quantities for consistency with industry and professional standards.
We evaluated the forecasted operating and capital cost assumptions used by the internal reservoir engineers to estimate future cash flows by comparing them to WPX’s historical costs.
We tested the relevant market differentials that were applied to the forecasted commodity price assumptions based on past results.
In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:
| | • | Evaluating the discount rate by comparing it against a discount rate range that was independently developed using publicly available market data for comparable entities. |
| | • | Evaluating the forecasted commodity price assumptions by comparing to an independently developed range of forward price estimates from analysts and other industry sources. |
| | • | Evaluating the risk adjustment factors associated with the proved and unproved reserves selected by the Company, by comparing to the guideline factors ranges by reserve class in published industry surveys. |
We compared the estimated future production quantities used by the Company in the current period to historical production trends and investigated differences We evaluated (1) the professional qualifications of the Company’s internal reservoir engineers as well as the external reservoir engineers and external engineering firm, (2) the knowledge, skills, and ability of the Company’s internal and external reservoir engineers, and (3) the relationship of the external reservoir engineers and external engineering firm to the Company.

As further discussed in [Note 19](#Discops), Devon sold its Barnett Shale assets on October 1, 2020 and sold its Canadian operations on June 27, 2019.
Prior to December 31, 2020, activity relating to Devon’s Barnett Shale assets and Canadian operations are classified as discontinued operations within Devon’s consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings and consolidated statements of cash flows.
Devon entered into an agreement in 2019 to form CDM, a partnership in the Delaware Basin, with an affiliate of QL Capital Partners, LP (“QLCP”).
During 2019, QLCP contributions to CDM were approximately $116 million, primarily associated with the CDM formation.

Sales to those two customers accounted for approximately 19% and 12%, respectively, of Devon’s sales revenue in 2021, and approximately 13% and 10%, respectively of Devon’s sales revenue in 2020.
During 2019, no purchaser accounted for more than 10% of Devon’s revenue.
Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility.
Additionally, because the trading price of Devon’s common stock decreased 73% during the first quarter of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Devon performed a goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020.
Devon concluded an impairment was not required as of March 31, 2020.
