Devon Locks in Minimum Price $7.50 for MMBTU

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Devon Energy Corporation announced today that it has entered into natural gas and oil hedges for the year 2008. The hedges cover approximately 40 percent of Devon's total 2008 forecasted production on an oil-equivalent basis. The company reported volumes and average prices applicable to the hedges.

Natural Gas Hedges

Devon's natural gas price hedges are composed of financial price collar contracts and price swap contracts. The price collar contracts set floor and ceiling prices for a portion of Devon's natural gas production. The price swap contracts fix the price for a portion of Devon's natural gas production. The floor and ceiling prices and swap prices are based on the NYMEX price. The NYMEX price is based on first-of-the-month Henry Hub price as published monthly by Inside FERC. If the NYMEX price is outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices in the various collars, Devon and the counterparty to the collars will settle the difference. Any such settlements will either increase or decrease Devon's gas revenues for the period.

The following table lists the natural gas price collar contracts and price swap contracts for 2008 entered into through February 1, 2008.

Oil Hedges

Devon's oil price hedges are composed of financial price collar contracts. The price collar contracts set a floor and ceiling price for a portion of Devon's oil production. The floor and ceiling prices are based on the NYMEX price. The NYMEX price is the monthly average of settled prices on each trading day for West Texas Intermediate Crude oil delivered at Cushing, Oklahoma. If the NYMEX price is outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices in the various collars, Devon and the counterparty to the collars will settle the difference. Any such settlements will either increase or decrease Devon's oil revenues for the period.

The following table lists the oil price collar contracts for 2008 entered into through February 1, 2008.
