Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and notes of Devon have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

As further discussed in Note 17 , Devon closed on the sale of its Barnett Shale assets on October 1, 2020, and sold its Canadian operations in the second quarter of 2019 Activity relating to Devon’s Barnett Shale assets, inclusive of properties divested as partial sales of the Barnett Shale common operating field in previous reporting periods located primarily in Johnson and Wise counties, Texas, and its Canadian operations are classified as discontinued operations within Devon’s consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings and consolidated statements of cash flows. The associated assets and liabilities of Devon’s Barnett Shale assets and Canadian operations are presented as assets and liabilities associated with discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets . During the fourth quarter of 2019, Devon entered into an agreement to form Cotton Draw Midstream, L.L.C.

Acquisition and Divestitures | 2. Divestitures Discontinued Operations – Upstream Assets On October 1, 2020, Devon completed the sale of its Barnett Shale assets to BKV for proceeds, net of purchase price adjustments, of $490 million, including a $170 million deposit previously received in April 2020. The agreement with BKV also provides for contingent earnout payments to Devon of up to $260 million based upon future commodity prices, with upside participation beginning at a $2.75 Henry Hub natural gas price or a $50 WTI oil price. The contingent payment period commences on January 1, 2021 and has a term of four years. Devon recognized a $748 million asset impairment related to these assets in the fourth quarter of 2019 and incremental asset impairments of $179 million and $3 million during the first quarter and third quarter of 2020, respectively. Additional information can be found in Note 17 . In June 2019, Devon completed the sale of substantially all of its oil and gas assets and operations in Canada to Canadian Natural Resources Limited for proceeds, net of purchase price adjustments, of $2.6 billion ($3.4 billion Canadian dollars), and recognized a pre-tax gain of $223 million ($425 million, net of tax, primarily due to a significant deferred tax benefit) in 2019. Additional information can be found in Note 17 . Continuing Operations – Upstream Assets During the first quarter of 2020, Devon entered into a farmout agreement in which the third party to the agreement can participate in the development of certain Devon-owned non-operated interests in the Delaware Basin. Under the agreement, Devon will periodically transfer working interests to the third party, who will then fund its share of operating and development costs. Once certain investment hurdles are met, a portion of the working interest held by the third party will revert back to Devon. No material activity occurred during the first nine months of 2020. In the first quarter of 2019, Devon received proceeds of approximately $300 million and recognized a $45 million net gain on asset dispositions, primarily from sales of non-core assets in the Permian Basin. In aggregate, the total estimated proved reserves associated with these divested assets were approximately 25 MMBoe.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | 3. Derivative Fin Objectives and Strategies Devon enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL production to hedge future prices received. Additionally, Devon periodically enters into derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of its oil, gas and NGL marketing activities. These commodity derivative financial instruments include financial price swaps, basis swaps and costless price collars. Devon periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility. As of September 30, 2020, Devon did not have any open interest rate swap contracts. Devon does not intend to hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes and has elected not to designate any of its derivative instruments for hedge accounting treatment. Counterparty Credit Risk By using derivative financial instruments, 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 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 contain provisions that provide for collateral payments if Devon’s or its counterparty’s credit rating falls below certain credit rating levels. As of September 30, 2020, Devon neither held cash collateral of its counterparties nor posted cash collateral to its counterparties. Commodity Derivatives As of September 30, 2020, Devon had the following open oil derivative positions.

As a result, Devon reduced planned 2020 capital investment by 45%. With materially lower commodity prices and reduced near-term investment, Devon assessed all of its oil and gas fields for impairment as of March 31, 2020. For impairment determinations, Devon historically utilized NYMEX forward strip prices for the first five years and applied internally generated price forecasts for subsequent years. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NYMEX forward market became highly illiquid as evidenced by materially reduced trading volumes for periods beyond 2021. Therefore, Devon supplemented the NYMEX forward strip prices with price forecasts published by reputable investment banks and reservoir engineering firms to estimate future revenues as of March 31, 2020. To measure indicated impairments, Devon used a market-based weighted-average cost of capital to discount the future net cash flows. These inputs are categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Devon recognized approximately $2.7 billion of proved asset impairments during the first quarter of 2020. These impairments related to the Anadarko Basin and Rockies fields in which the Unproved Due to the downturn in the commodity price environment and reduced near-term investment as discussed above, Devon also recognized $149 million of unproved impairments during the first nine months of 2020. Of these unproved impairments, $113 million related primarily to the Rockies field and $36 million related to certain non-core acreage Devon no longer intends to pursue for exploration opportunities. During the first nine months of 2019, Devon recognized $15 million of unproved impairments related to certain non-core acreage it no longer intended to pursue for exploration opportunities. |

As a result, Devon recognized $32 million of restructuring expenses during the third quarter of 2020. Of these expenses, $11 million resulted from accelerated vesting of share-based grants, which are noncash charges. During the first quarter of 2019, Devon announced workforce reductions and other initiatives designed to enhance its operational focus and cost structure in conjunction with the portfolio transformation discussed in Note 2 The following table summarizes Devon’s restructuring liabilities.

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ (193 ) $ 190 $ (2,980 ) $ (88 ) Current income tax expense (benefit) $ (90 ) $ 2 $ (199 ) $ 1 Deferred income tax expense (benefit) — 52 (311 ) 2 Total income tax expense (benefit) $ (90 ) $ 54 $ (510 ) $ 3 U.S. statutory income tax rate 21 % 21 % 21 % 21 % State income taxes 0 % 6 % 1 % (2 %) Change in tax legislation 4 % 0 % 3 % 0 % Unrecognized tax benefits 18 % 0 % 0 % (2 %) Other 0 % 1 % (1 %) (20 %) Deferred tax asset valuation allowance 4 % 0 % (7 %) 0 % Effective income tax rate 47 % 28 % 17 % (3 %) Devon estimates its annual effective income tax rate to record its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) became law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act allows net operating losses generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021 to be carried back five years to offset taxable income and recoup previously paid taxes. As a result, Devon intends to carry back net operating losses generated in 2019 and 2020 to 2014 and 2015, respectively, and recorded a $105 million income tax benefit through the first nine months of 2020. On July 28, 2020, the Department of Treasury issued final regulations regarding the provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that limits the deduction for business interest expense. Prior to the issuance of these final regulations, Devon had reduced its CARES Act income tax benefit by $34 million due to the business interest expense limitation. With the regulatory update, Devon was able to reverse the $34 million in the third quarter of 2020 and recognize the full $105 million of benefit under the CARES Act. Throughout 2019, Devon maintained a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, including certain tax credits and state net operating losses. Since then, reduced demand from the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented downturn in the commodity price environment. As a result, Devon recorded significant impairments during the first quarter of 2020 and is now in a net deferred tax asset position. Consequently, Devon reassessed its position and recorded a 100 % valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets and has maintained a full valuation allowance position throughout 2020. In the table above, the “other” effect is composed of permanent differences primarily related to stock compensation for which dollar amounts do not increase or decrease in relation to the change in pre-tax earnings. Such items have an insignificant impact on Devon’s effective income tax rate unless pre-tax earnings or losses are relatively small in amount. In total, “other” represents $18 million of income tax expense in the first nine months of 2019. |

In June 2018, Devon announced the expansion of this program to $4.0 billion. In February 2019, Devon announced a further expansion to $5.0 billion with a December 31, 2019 expiration date. In December 2019, Devon announced a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program with a December 31, 2020 expiration date. Under the new program, $ 800 million of the $ 1.0 billion authorization wa s conditioned upon the closing of the Barnett Shale divestiture for cash proceeds of at least $ 725 million. Since the Company received proceeds less than that amount in connection with the Barnett divestiture, we do not expect to complete repurchases in excess of $ 200 million in the aggregate under the existing repurchase program. Moreover, Devon has temporarily suspended its share repurchase program.

Discontinued Operations and Assets Held For Sale Barnett Shale On October 1, 2020, Devon completed the sale of its Barnett Shale assets to BKV for proceeds, net of purchase price adjustments, of $490 million, including a $170 million deposit previously received in April 2020. Additionally, the agreement provides for contingent earnout payments to Devon of up to $260 million based upon future commodity prices, with upside participation beginning at a $2.75 Henry Hub natural gas price or a $50 WTI oil price. The contingent payment period commences on January 1, 2021 and has a term of four years. In connection with the sale of its Barnett Shale assets, approximately $88 million of the U.S. reporting unit goodwill was allocated to the Barnett Shale assets. Additionally, Devon ceased depreciation for all property, plant and equipment classified as assets held for sale on the date the sales agreement was approved by the Board of Directors. Devon also recognized a $748 million asset impairment in the fourth quarter of 2019 related to these assets, primarily due to the difference between the net carrying value and the purchase price, net of estimated customary purchase price adjustments. Additionally, Devon recognized incremental asset impairments of $179 million and $3 million during the first quarter and third quarter of 2020, respectively. The valuation of the future contingent earnout payments included in the September 30, 2020 Barnett Shale impairment computation was $60 million. The value was derived utilizing a Monte Carlo valuation model and qualifies as a level 3 fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2020, classified as cash restricted for discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets 2 Royalty Matter Devon is a party to a class action pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas styled Henry Seeligson et al. v. Devon Energy Production Company, L.P. Seeligson Seeligson Seeligson Seeligson Seeligson Canada In the second quarter of 2019, Devon completed the sale of its Canadian business for $2.6 billion ($3.4 billion Canadian dollars), net of purchase price adjustments, and recognized a pre-tax gain of $223 million ($425 million net of tax, primarily due to a significant deferred tax benefit) in 2019. Current (cash) income and withholding taxes associated with the Canadian business were approximately $175 million and were paid in the first half of 2020. During the third quarter of 2019, Devon utilized a portion of the sales proceeds to early retire $500 million of the 4.00% senior notes due July 15, 2021 and $1.0 billion of the 3.25% senior notes due May 15, 2022. Devon recognized a charge on the early retirement of these notes consisting of $52 million in cash retirement costs and $6 million of noncash charges. As of September 30, 2020, Devon has classified as cash restricted for discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets approximately $170 million of cash for obligations retained related to the Canadian business.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments And Contingencies | 18. Commitments and Contingencies Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Matters that are probable of an 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 likely 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 oil and natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging royalty underpayments. Devon is currently named as a defendant in a number of such lawsuits, including some lawsuits in which the plaintiffs seek to certify classes of similarly situated plaintiffs. Among the allegations typically asserted in these suits are claims that Devon 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 oil, natural gas and NGLs produced and sold. Devon is also involved in governmental agency proceedings and royalty audits and is subject to related contracts and regulatory controls in the ordinary course of business, some that may lead to additional royalty claims. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters except those detailed within Note 17 . Environmental and Other 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. Beginning in 2013, various parishes in Louisiana filed suit against numerous oil and gas companies, including Devon, alleging that the companies’ operations and activities in certain fields violated the State and Local Coastal Resource Management Act of 1978, as amended, and caused substantial environmental contamination, subsidence and other environmental damages to land and water bodies located in the coastal zone of Louisiana. The plaintiffs’ claims against Devon relate primarily to the operations of several of Devon’s corporate predecessors. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, the payment of the costs necessary to clear, re-vegetate and otherwise restore the allegedly impacted areas. Although Devon cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, Devon is vigorously defending against these claims. Various municipalities and other governmental and private parties in California and the State of Delaware have filed legal proceedings against certain oil and gas companies, including Devon, seeking relief to abate alleged impacts of climate change. These proceedings include far-reaching claims for monetary damages and injunctive relief. Although Devon cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, |

The carrying values of cash, cash restricted for discontinued operations, accounts receivable, other current receivables, accounts payable, other current payables, accrued expenses and lease liabilities included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximated fair value at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, as applicable. Therefore, such financial assets and liabilities are not presented in the following table . Additionally, information regarding the fair values of oil and gas assets is provided in Note 5 .

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements Cash equivalents – Amounts consist primarily of money market investments and the fair value approximates the carrying value. Level 2 Fair Value Measurements Commodity derivatives – The fair value of commodity derivatives is 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 consistently trade actively in an established market. The fair values of its debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity when active trading is not available. |
