States and Canada; however, the company also explores for and produces oil and
natural gas in select international areas such as China, Brazil and Azerbaijan.
Devon
also is one of North America’s larger processors of natural
gas liquids and owns natural gas pipelines and treatment facilities in many of
the company’s producing areas. Devon is included in the S&P 500 Index and trades
on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DVN.

According to a report in The Daily Oklahoman dated August
3, 2007, Devon is one of the first independent oil and natural gas companies to
file a corporate responsibility report. The report focuses on the company's environmental
initiatives and community involvement.
Since 1990, Devon
has been taking measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas
production and transportation operations in the United States. The result of those
improvements accounted for companywide emission reductions in 2005 of six billion
cubic feet of methane, or 2.6 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. |
