Noncontrolling Interests [Abstract]
Noncontrolling interests	16.    Noncontrolling Interests Subsidiary Equity Transactions In March 2015, Devon conducted an underwritten secondary public offering of 22.8 million common units representing limited partner interests in EnLink, raising net proceeds of $569 million. In April 2015, as part of the secondary public offering, the underwriters fully exercised their option to purchase an additional 3.4 million EnLink common units from Devon, resulting in an incremental $85 million of net proceeds raised. Through its equity distribution agreements, EnLink has the ability to sell common units through an “at the market” equity offering program. During the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, EnLink sold approximately 0.7 million and 2.4 million common units, generating net proceeds of $13 million and $72 million, respectively. As a result of these transactions and the Coronado acquisition and dropdown transactions discussed in Note 2, Devon’s ownership interest in EnLink decreased from 49% at December 31, 2014 to 29% at September 30, 2015, excluding the interest held by the General Partner. The net gains and losses and related income taxes resulting from these transactions have been recorded as an adjustment to equity, and the change in ownership reflected as an adjustment to noncontrolling interests. On October 29, 2015, the General Partner acquired approximately 2.8 million common units in EnLink in a private placement. EnLink received proceeds of $50 million in the transaction. Distributions to Noncontrolling Interests     EnLink and the General Partner distributed $186 million and $187 million to non-Devon unitholders during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
