Investments [Abstract] |
Investments | Investments Devon has an interest in Catalyst, which is a joint venture with an affiliate of Howard Energy Partners, LLC (“HEP”) and certain other investors, to develop oil gathering and natural gas processing infrastructure in the Stateline area of the Delaware Basin. Under the terms of the arrangement, Devon and a holding company owned by the other joint venture investors each have a 50% voting interest in the joint venture legal entity, and HEP serves as the operator. Through 2038, Devon’s production from 50,000 net acres in the Stateline area of the Delaware Basin has been dedicated to Catalyst subject to fixed-fee oil gathering and natural gas processing agreements. Devon accounts for the investment in Catalyst as an equity method investment. Devon's investment in Catalyst is shown within investments on the consolidated balance sheets, and Devon's share of Catalyst earnings are reflected as a component of other, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings. In 2023, Devon made an investment in the Water JV, a joint venture entity formed with an affiliate of WaterBridge NDB LLC (“WaterBridge”), for the purpose of providing increased capacity and flexibility in disposing of produced water in the Delaware Basin and Eagle Ford. Under terms of the arrangement, Devon contributed water infrastructure assets and committed to a water gathering and disposal dedication to the Water JV through 2038, in exchange for a 30% voting interest in the joint venture legal entity. WaterBridge contributed water infrastructure assets to the Water JV, in exchange for a 70% voting interest in the joint venture legal entity and is serving as the operator. In 2023, Devon recognized a $64 million gain in asset dispositions in the consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings, which represented the excess of the estimated fair value of Devon's interest in the Water JV over the carrying value of the water infrastructure assets Devon contributed to the Water JV. Devon accounts for the investment in the Water JV as an equity method investment. Devon's investment in the Water JV is shown within investments on the consolidated balance sheets, and Devon's share of the Water JV earnings are reflected as a component of other, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings. In 2024, Devon invested approximately $117 million in Fervo, a company that generates energy from geothermal wells. The investment allows Devon to exercise significant influence over Fervo, and the investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Devon's investment in Fervo is shown within investments on the consolidated balance sheets, and Devon's share of Fervo earnings are reflected as a component of other, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings. Devon has an interest in Matterhorn, which is a joint venture in a natural gas pipeline which transports 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. The following table presents Devon's investments that are shown on the consolidated balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2024, Devon's investments in equity investees exceeded the underlying equity in net assets by approximately $200 million. The basis differences primarily relate from intangible assets associated with Devon's acreage dedication to Catalyst and the Water JV, which are being amortized over their remaining terms of 13 years. Devon's investments provided certain gathering, processing and marketing services to Devon in the ordinary course of business. The impact from these services on Devon’s consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings and consolidated balance sheets for the years ended and as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, relate primarily to Catalyst and are summarized below.
