Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Operations (Unaudited)

 

Supplemental unaudited information regarding Devon’s oil and gas activities is presented in this note. All of Devon’s reserves are located within the U.S.

 

The supplemental information in the tables below excludes amounts for 2020 and 2019 related to Devon’s discontinued operations. For additional information on these discontinued operations, see Note 19.

Results of Operations

The following tables include revenues and expenses associated with Devon’s oil and gas producing activities. They do not include any allocation of Devon’s interest costs or general corporate overhead and, therefore, are not necessarily indicative of the contribution to net earnings of Devon’s oil and gas operations. Income tax expense has been calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to oil, gas and NGL sales after deducting costs, including DD&A, and after giving effect to permanent differences.

Gas reserves are converted to Boe at the rate of six Mcf per Bbl of oil, based upon the approximate relative energy content of gas and oil. NGL reserves are converted to Boe on a one-to-one basis with oil. The conversion rates are not necessarily indicative of the relationship of oil, natural gas and NGL prices.

Price Revisions

Reserves increased 155 MMBoe in 2021 primarily due to price increases in the trailing 12 month averages for oil, gas and NGLs.

Reserves decreased 78 MMBoe in 2020 primarily due to price decreases in the trailing 12 month averages for oil, gas and NGLs.

Reserves decreased 28 MMBoe in 2019 primarily due to price decreases in the trailing 12 month averages for oil, gas and NGLs.

Revisions Other Than Price

2021 – Total revisions other than price (43 MMBoe) were primarily due to well performance exceeding previous estimates modestly across all areas of operation (53 MMBoe) and the removal of proved undeveloped locations as noted below (-10 MMBoe). The upward revisions were driven by the Delaware Basin (23 MMBoe), Williston Basin (12 MMBoe) and Anadarko Basin (12 MMBoe).

2020 – Total revisions other than price (55 MMBoe) were primarily due to well performance exceeding previous estimates (75 MMBoe) and the removal of proved undeveloped locations as noted below (-20 MMBoe). The most significant well performance revisions were attributable to the Delaware Basin (40 MMBoe) and the Anadarko Basin (22 MMBoe).

2019 Total revisions other than price in 2019 were primarily due to changes in previously adopted development plans in the Anadarko Basin (-9 MMBoe) and in the Delaware Basin (-6 MMBoe). An additional downward revision of 5 MMBoe was the result of reduced recovery estimates attributable to continued evaluation of analogous offset well performance primarily in the Anadarko Basin.

Extensions and Discoveries

Each year, Devon’s proved reserves extensions and discoveries consist of adding proved undeveloped reserves to locations classified as undeveloped at year-end and adding proved developed reserves from successful development wells drilled on locations outside the areas classified as proved at the previous year-end. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Devon’s total proved extensions and discoveries to differ from the extensions and discoveries for Devon’s proved undeveloped reserves. Furthermore, because annual additions are classified according to reserve determinations made at the previous year-end and because Devon operates a multi-basin portfolio with assets at varying stages of maturity, extensions and discoveries for proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves can differ significantly in any particular year.

2021Of the 228 MMBoe of additions from extensions and discoveries, 209 MMBoe were in the Delaware Basin, 8 MMBoe were in the Anadarko Basin, 6 MMBoe were in the Williston Basin, 3 MMBoe were in Eagle Ford and 2 MMBoe were in the Powder River Basin.

2020Of the 135 MMBoe of additions from extensions and discoveries, 117 MMBoe were in the Delaware Basin, 8 MMBoe were in the Anadarko Basin, 5 MMBoe were in the Powder River Basin and 5 MMBoe were in Eagle Ford.

2019 – Of the 160 MMBoe of additions from extensions and discoveries, 77 MMBoe were in the Delaware Basin, 37 MMBoe were in the Anadarko Basin, 28 MMBoe were in the Powder River Basin and 18 MMBoe were in Eagle Ford. In 2019, there were no additions related to infill drilling activities.

 

Purchase of Reserves

During 2021, Devon had reserve additions due to the Merger of 538 MMBoe in the Delaware Basin and 125 MMBoe in the Williston Basin. For additional information on these asset additions, see Note 2.

 

 

Sale of Reserves

During 2021, 2020 and 2019, Devon had U.S. non-core asset divestitures. For additional information on these divestitures, see Note 2.

Proved Undeveloped Reserves

Total proved undeveloped reserves increased 91% from 2020 to 2021 with the year-end 2021 balance representing 21% of total proved reserves. Approximately 92% of the 160 MMBoe in extensions and discoveries were the result of Devon’s focus on drilling and development activities in the Delaware Basin. This continued development in the Delaware Basin also accounted for 85% of the 107 MMBoe of proved undeveloped reserves being converted to proved developed reserves in 2021. Costs incurred to develop and convert Devon’s proved undeveloped reserves were approximately $612 million for 2021. Additionally, 98% of the 90 MMBoe of purchased reserves relate to the complementary Delaware Basin assets acquired through the Merger. Purchase of reserves included in the table above reflect proved undeveloped reserves acquired in the Merger that remain undeveloped as of December 31, 2021. Proved undeveloped reserves revisions other than price were primarily due to well performance in the Delaware Basin (14 MMBoe) and Anadarko Basin (6 MMBoe) which was partially offset by changes in previously adopted development plans in the Anadarko Basin (-6 MMBoe) and Delaware Basin (-3 MMBoe).

Future cash inflows, development costs and production costs were computed using the same assumptions for prices and costs that were used to estimate Devon’s proved oil and gas reserves at the end of each year. For 2021

estimates, Devon’s future realized prices were assumed to be $64.17 per Bbl of oil, $3.05 per Mcf of gas and $27.60 per Bbl of NGLs. Of the $3.7 billion of future development costs as of the end of 2021, $1.1 billion, $0.7 billion and $0.6 billion are estimated to be spent in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Future development costs include not only development costs but also future asset retirement costs. Included as part of the $3.7 billion of future development costs are $0.5 billion of future asset retirement costs. The future income tax expenses have been computed using statutory tax rates, giving effect to allowable tax deductions and tax credits under current laws.
