COMMENTS Drilling When the Well Goes Dry: The Oklahoma Corporation Commission & the Police Power Exception to the Automatic Stay Introduction The oil and gas industry is, for all intents and purposes, the lifeblood of the Oklahoma economy. Everywhere you turn, you see another oil pump. Some bob up and down as they draw the “cash crop” of Oklahoma from the shale formations thousands of feet below. Others appear lifeless and have not moved in years. You see them beside the interstate, next to family farms, in the middle of empty fields, and even in and around the state’s largest cities. Nearly every facet of life in Oklahoma is in some way affected by the oil and gas industry.

  • 2019 Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2018, Are Available At
    Commitment Runs Deep 2019 Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Dear Fellow Stockholders, It is with deep feeling that I write to you for the last time as Chairman of Devon’s Board of Directors. I will be retiring at our upcoming meeting after 12 years of service on Devon’s Board, but I am proud to be doing so when there is so much reason to look toward the future with excitement. In 2018, we took significant steps toward achieving our long-term strategic goals, transitioning our franchise U.S. oil business into full-field development and high-grading our asset portfolio. Some key accomplishments included growing Delaware and STACK production by 27%, reducing consolidated debt by more than 40%, building per-share value by repurchasing 14% of our stock and raising the quarterly dividend by 33%. Looking ahead, we’re pursuing the separation of our Canadian and Barnett Shale assets to complete our transformation to a returns-driven U.S. oil-growth business. I am as pleased to share with you how we—a company that explores for, develops and produces oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids—achieve results like these. In a word, we do so sustainably, something on which major third parties agree: Sustainalytics, ISS and MSCI each confer high scores on us for our environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. And, over the past year, we have continued our engagement with stakeholders to further focus our ESG efforts. Since our last annual meeting, we have, among other things, released our 2018 Sustainability Report, our first Climate Change Assessment Report and our 2018 Political Activity and Lobbying Report.
