Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, our assumptions about:

5. Property and Equipment

Divestitures

In November 2009, Devon announced plans to reposition itself strategically as a high-growth, North American onshore exploration and production company. As part of this strategic repositioning, Devon is bringing forward the value of its offshore assets by divesting them.

During the first quarter of 2010, Devon sold its interests in the Jack, St. Malo and Cascade Lower Tertiary projects in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico for $1.3 billion ($1.1 billion after taxes). These divestitures involved oil and gas properties with no proved reserves, current production or revenues. Devon used the proceeds from these divestitures to repay commercial paper borrowings.

On March 10, 2010, Devon entered into agreements to sell all of its remaining assets in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and Azerbaijan to BP for $7.0 billion. In addition, BP will assume Devon’s leases of the Seadrill West Sirius and Transocean Deepwater Discovery drilling rigs for the duration of the contract terms. Devon closed the deepwater Gulf of Mexico transaction in April 2010. Devon expects to close the Azerbaijan and Brazil transactions before the end of 2010.

On April 9, 2010, Devon entered into an agreement to sell all its shallow-water Gulf of Mexico assets for $1.05 billion (approximately $840 million after taxes). Devon expects to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2010.

On April 30, 2010, Devon entered into an agreement to sell its producing Panyu field located offshore China for $515 million (approximately $370 million after taxes). Devon expects to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2010.

Under full cost accounting rules, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are generally accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no recognition of gain or loss. However, if not recognizing a gain or loss on the disposition would otherwise significantly alter the relationship between a cost center’s capitalized costs and proved reserves, then a gain or loss must be recognized. The Gulf of Mexico divestitures discussed above will not significantly alter such relationship for Devon’s United States cost center. Therefore, Devon will not recognize a gain in connection with the Gulf of Mexico divestitures. Because the Azerbaijan, Brazil and China divestitures will ultimately involve a complete disposition of a cost center, Devon expects to record gains when such transactions close.

Oil Sands Joint Venture

In conjunction with the announced divestitures to BP, Devon also announced a heavy oil joint venture to operate and develop BP’s Kirby oil sands leases in Alberta, Canada. Devon will acquire 50 percent of BP’s interest in the Kirby oil sands leases for $500 million. Devon expects to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2010. Devon will also fund $150 million of capital costs on BP’s behalf. The majority of these costs are expected to be paid during 2011 and 2012.

6. Goodwill

During the first three months of 2010, Devon’s Canadian goodwill increased $88 million. This increase was entirely due to foreign currency translation.

8. Debt

Commercial Paper

During the first quarter of 2010, Devon repaid $1.2 billion of commercial paper borrowings primarily with proceeds received from Gulf of Mexico property divestitures. As of March 31, 2010, Devon’s average borrowing rate on its $240 million of commercial paper debt was 0.22%.

In early May 2010, Devon reduced the maximum allowed borrowings under its commercial paper program from $2.85 billion to approximately $2.2 billion.

Credit Lines

As of March 31, 2010, Devon had two revolving lines of credit that could be accessed to provide liquidity as needed. The following schedule summarizes the capacity of Devon’s credit facilities by maturity date, as well as its available capacity as of March 31, 2010 (in millions).


Senior Credit Facility:
April 7, 2012 maturity	$	500
April 7, 2013 maturity		2,150

Total Senior Credit Facility		2,650

Total credit facilities		3,350
Less:
Outstanding credit facility borrowings		—
Outstanding commercial paper borrowings		240
Outstanding letters of credit		88

Total available capacity	$	3,022

In early May 2010, Devon cancelled the Short-Term Facility prior to its maturity date. Devon incurred no cost to cancel the facility and will avoid paying the facility fee that pertains to the cancellation period.

The Senior Credit Facility and Short-Term Facility contain only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires Devon’s ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization to be less than 65%. The credit agreement contains definitions of total funded debt and total capitalization that include adjustments to the respective amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Also, total capitalization is adjusted to add back noncash financial writedowns such as full cost ceiling impairments or goodwill impairments. As of March 31, 2010, Devon was in compliance with this covenant. Devon’s debt-to-capitalization ratio at March 31, 2010, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 17.1%.

During the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, Devon recognized revisions to its asset retirement obligations totaling $205 million and $22 million, respectively. The primary factors causing the 2010 and 2009 increases were an overall increase in abandonment cost estimates and a decrease in the discount rate used to present value the obligations.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Dividends

Devon paid common stock dividends of $72 million and $70 million (quarterly rates of $0.16 per share) in the first quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Devon is party to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Devon and that can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Devon’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. None of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to Devon’s financial position or results of operations after consideration of recorded accruals. However, actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimate.

Environmental Matters

Devon is subject to certain laws and regulations relating to environmental remediation activities associated with past operations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similar state statutes. In response to liabilities associated with these activities, loss accruals primarily consist of estimated uninsured costs associated with remediation. Devon’s monetary exposure for environmental matters is not expected to be material.

Royalty Matters

Numerous natural gas producers and related parties, including Devon, have been named in various lawsuits alleging violation of the federal False Claims Act. The suits allege that the producers and related parties used below-market prices, improper deductions, improper measurement techniques and transactions with affiliates, which resulted in underpayment of royalties in connection with natural gas and NGLs produced and sold from federal and Indian-owned or controlled lands. Devon does not currently believe that it is subject to material exposure with respect to such royalty matters.

Other Matters

Devon is involved in other various routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. However, to Devon’s knowledge as of the date of this report, neither Devon nor its property is subject to any material pending legal proceedings.

Commitments

At the end of 2009, Devon’s commitments included $1.4 billion that related to long-term contracts for three deepwater drilling rigs. This total includes $1.2 billion related to two contracts to be assumed by BP in connection with the associated divestiture transactions as discussed in Note 5.

At the end of 2009, Devon’s commitments also included $0.4 billion that related to leases of floating, production, storage and offloading facilities being used in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and China. Devon’s commitments for these leases will be assumed by the buyers of Devon’s assets in these locations when the associated divestiture transactions close.

14. Restructuring Costs

In the fourth quarter of 2009, Devon recognized $153 million of estimated employee severance costs associated with the planned divestitures of its offshore assets that was announced in November 2009. This amount was based on estimates of the number of employees that will ultimately be impacted by the divestitures and includes $63 million related to accelerated vesting of share-based grants. Of the $153 million total, $105 million relates to Devon’s U.S. Offshore operations and the remainder relates to its International discontinued operations.

Devon’s estimate of employee severance costs recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009 was based upon certain key estimates that could change as properties are sold. These estimates include the number of impacted employees, the number of employees offered comparable positions with the buyers and the date of separation for impacted employees. As discussed in Note 5, Devon has only closed a limited number of divestiture transactions, which did not impact a significant number of employees. As a result, Devon did not revise its estimate of employee severance costs during the first quarter of 2010.

15. Reduction of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties

In the first quarter of 2009, Devon reduced the carrying value of its United States oil and gas properties $6.4 billion, or $4.1 billion after taxes, due to a full cost ceiling limitation. The reduction resulted from a significant decrease in the full cost ceiling compared to the immediately preceding quarter due to the effects of declining natural gas prices subsequent to December 31, 2008.

Reductions of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties

In the first quarter of 2009, Devon reduced the carrying values of its Brazilian and other International oil and gas properties, which are now held for sale, $109 million due to full cost ceiling limitations. The Brazilian reduction of $103 million, which had no related tax benefit, resulted largely from an exploratory well drilled at the BM-BAR-3 block in the offshore Barreirinhas Basin. After drilling this well in the first quarter of 2009, Devon concluded that the well did not have adequate reserves for commercial viability. As a result, the seismic, leasehold and drilling costs associated with this well contributed to the reduction recognized in the first quarter of 2009.

17. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The following table reconciles earnings (loss) from continuing operations and common shares outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Because a net loss from continuing operations was generated during the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the dilutive shares produce an antidilutive net loss per share result. Therefore, the diluted loss per share from continuing operations reported in the accompanying 2009 consolidated statement of operations is the same as the basic loss per share amount.

Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(3,834	)		439		$	(8.74	)

Certain options to purchase shares of Devon’s common stock are excluded from the dilution calculations because the options are antidilutive. These excluded options totaled 1.7 million and 8.9 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

18. Segment Information

Devon manages its operations through seven distinct operating segments, or divisions, which are defined primarily by geographic areas. For financial reporting purposes, Devon aggregates its United States divisions into one reporting segment due to the similar nature of the business. However, Devon’s Canadian and International divisions are reported as separate reporting segments primarily due to significant differences in the respective regulatory environments.

Following is certain financial information regarding Devon’s reporting segments. The revenues reported are all from external customers.

Item 2.		*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*

The following discussion addresses material changes in our results of operations and capital resources and uses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, and in our financial condition and liquidity since December 31, 2009. For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.

Business Overview

Net earnings in the first three months of 2010 were $1.2 billion, or $2.66 per diluted share. This compared to a net loss of $4.0 billion, or $8.92 per diluted share in the first three months of 2009. Our first three months of 2009 earnings were negatively impacted by a $6.4 billion ($4.1 billion after tax) reduction of the carrying value of our United States oil and gas properties. Excluding the reduction of carrying value, our 2010 first quarter earnings increased primarily due to the effects of higher commodity prices, partially offset by a decrease in production.

Key measures of our performance for the first three months of 2010 compared to the first three months of 2009 are summarized below:

	•		The combined realized price without hedges for oil, gas and NGLs increased 58% to $37.07 per Boe.

	•		Oil and gas derivatives generated a net gain of $620 million and $154 million in the first three months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Included in these amounts were cash receipts of $96 million and $118 million, respectively.

	•		Operating cash flow increased 43% to $1.5 billion.

	•		Production decreased 5% to 56 million Boe.

	•		Marketing and midstream operating profit decreased 9% to $133 million.

	•		Cash spent on capital expenditures was approximately $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2010.

Additionally, we have made significant progress toward completion of our offshore divestiture program. Through April 2010, we had announced divestiture transactions of our oil and gas properties in the Gulf of Mexico, Azerbaijan, Brazil and our producing Panyu field offshore China. Furthermore, in connection with BP’s acquisition of our Gulf of Mexico and Brazilian properties, BP is also assuming our leases of the Seadrill West Sirius and Transocean Deepwater Discovery drilling rigs for the duration of the contract terms. Through April 2010, we had closed the transactions related to all our deepwater Gulf of Mexico properties. The divestiture process is ongoing for the remaining announced transactions, as well as our exploration assets in China and Angola and other minor International assets. We expect the closing of all divestitures to be completed by the end of 2010.

Our announced divestitures have proceeds that total $9.9 billion before taxes. Once all divestiture assets are sold, we estimate the total pre-tax proceeds will exceed $10 billion and the after-tax proceeds will be approximately $8 billion. As a result of the success we have experienced with our offshore divestiture program, we announced a share repurchase program in early May 2010. The program authorizes the repurchase of up to $3.5 billion of our common shares.

In conjunction with divestitures to BP, we also announced a heavy oil joint venture to operate and develop BP’s Kirby oil sands leases in Alberta, Canada. We will acquire 50 percent of BP’s interest in the Kirby oil sands leases for $500 million. We expect to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2010. We will also fund $150 million of capital costs on BP’s behalf. The majority of these costs are expected to be paid during 2011 and 2012.

The volume and price changes in the tables above caused the following changes to our oil, gas and NGL sales between the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

2010 sales	$	710	$	1,086		$	274	$	2,070

Oil Sales

Oil sales increased $380 million in the first three months of 2010 as a result of a 115% increase in our realized price without hedges. The largest contributor to the increase in our realized price was the increase in the average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate index price over the same time period. In addition, our price differential based upon the NYMEX index price also improved, which contributed to our higher realized price. The improved differential resulted primarily from the tightening of the heavy oil differentials related to our Canadian operations.

Gas Sales

Gas sales increased $241 million during the first three months of 2010 as a result of a 29% increase in our realized price without hedges. This increase was largely due to increases in the North American regional index prices upon which our gas sales are based.

A 19 Bcf decrease in production during the first three months of 2010 caused gas sales to decrease by $67 million. The decrease in production was primarily due to reduced drilling during most of 2009 for our North American Onshore properties. As a result of the reduced drilling in response to lower gas prices, natural declines of existing wells outpaced production gains from new drilling.

NGL Sales

NGL sales increased $133 million during the first three months of 2010 as a result of a 94% increase in our realized price without hedges. This increase was largely due to increases in the regional index prices upon which our NGL sales are based.

Cash settlements of hedges		—		0.48		—		2.02

Realized price, including cash settlements	$	31.41	$	4.21	$	18.60	$	25.53

In the first three months of 2010, our oil and gas derivative financial instruments included gas price swaps, gas basis swaps and oil and gas costless price collars. In the first three months of 2009, our oil and gas derivative financial instruments included only gas price collars. For the price swaps, we receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. The price collars set a floor and ceiling price. If the applicable monthly price indices are outside of the ranges set by the floor and ceiling prices in the various collars, we cash-settle the difference with the counterparty to the collars. For the basis swaps, we receive a fixed differential between two regional gas index prices and pay a variable differential on the same two index prices to the contract counterparty. Cash settlements as presented in the tables above represent realized gains or losses related to our price swaps, price collars and basis swaps.

During the first three months of 2010, we received $96 million, or $0.42 per Mcf from counterparties to settle our gas derivatives. During the first three months of 2009, we received $118 million, or $0.48 per Mcf, from counterparties to settle our gas derivatives.

In addition to recognizing these cash settlement effects, we also recognize unrealized changes in the fair values of our oil and gas derivative instruments in each reporting period. We estimate the fair values of our oil and gas derivative financial instruments primarily by using internal discounted cash flow calculations. From time to time, we validate our valuation techniques by comparing our internally generated fair value estimates with those obtained from contract counterparties or brokers.

The most significant variable to our cash flow calculations is our estimate of future commodity prices. We base our estimate of future prices upon published forward commodity price curves such as the Inside FERC Henry Hub forward curve for gas instruments and the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate forward curve for oil instruments. Based on the amount of volumes subject to our gas derivatives at March 31, 2010, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have decreased the fair value of our gas derivative financial instruments by approximately $159 million. A 10% increase in the forward curves associated with our oil derivatives would have decreased the fair value of our oil derivative financial instruments by approximately $75 million. Another key input to our cash flow calculations is our estimate of volatility for these forward curves, which we base primarily upon implied volatility.

Counterparty credit risk is also a component of commodity derivative valuations. We have mitigated our exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with numerous counterparties. Our commodity derivative contracts are held with twelve separate counterparties. Additionally, our derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be posted if either our or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below “investment grade”. The threshold for collateral posting decreases as the debt rating falls further below investment grade. Such thresholds generally range from zero to $50 million for the majority of our contracts. As of March 31, 2010, the credit ratings of all our counterparties were investment grade.

During the first three months of 2010 and 2009, the fair value of our commodity derivative financial instruments increased by $524 million and $36 million, respectively. These unrealized gains primarily resulted from decreases in the Inside FERC Henry Hub forward curve during the first quarter of each year.

Marketing and Midstream Revenues and Operating Costs and Expenses

The details of the changes in marketing and midstream revenues, operating costs and expenses and the resulting operating profit are shown in the table below.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009		Change ⁽¹⁾
	($ in millions)
Marketing and midstream:
Revenues	$	530	$	371		43	%
Operating costs and expenses		397		224		77	%

Operating profit	$	133	$	147		-9	%


(1)		All percentage changes included in this table are based on actual figures and are not calculated using the rounded figures included in this table.

During the first three months of 2010, marketing and midstream revenues increased $159 million and operating costs and expenses increased $173 million, causing operating profit to decrease $14 million. Revenues, expenses and operating profit increased due to higher natural gas and NGL production and processing prices, partially offset by the effects of lower gas pipeline throughput. However, the increase in operating profit resulting from these factors was more than offset by the effect of lower prices realized from gas marketing activities.

Lease Operating Expenses (“LOE”)

The details of the changes in LOE are shown in the table below.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009		Change ⁽¹⁾
Lease operating expenses ($ in millions):
U.S. Onshore	$	191	$	229		-17	%

U.S. Offshore	$	11.18	$	13.33		-16	%
Total	$	7.41	$	7.52		-2	%


(1)		All percentage changes included in this table are based on actual figures and are not calculated using the rounded figures included in this table.

LOE decreased $26 million in the first three months of 2010. LOE dropped $31 million due to declining costs for fuel, materials, equipment and personnel, as well as declines in maintenance and well workover projects. Such declines largely resulted from decreased demand for field services. Our 5% decrease in production also reduced LOE by $20 million. Additionally, LOE decreased $7 million due to additional costs incurred in the first three months of 2009 as a result of hurricane damages sustained in 2008. These decreases were partially offset by changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar which increased LOE by $32 million. Excluding the decrease due to lower production, these factors were also the main contributors to the changes in LOE per Boe.

Taxes Other Than Income Taxes

The following table details the changes in our taxes other than income taxes.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009		Change ⁽¹⁾

Total	$	101	$	89		+13	%


(1)		All percentage changes included in this table are based on actual figures and not the rounded figures included in this table.

Production taxes increased $27 million in the first three months of 2010 primarily due to an increase in our U.S. Onshore revenues. Ad valorem taxes decreased $14 million primarily due to lower estimated assessed values of our oil and gas property and equipment.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization of Oil and Gas Properties (“DD&A”)

The changes in our production volumes, DD&A rate per unit and DD&A of oil and gas properties are shown in the table below.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009		Change ⁽¹⁾
Total production volumes (MMBoe)		56		59		-5	%

(1)		All percentage changes included in this table are based on actual figures and are not calculated using the rounded figures included in this table.

The following table details the changes in DD&A of oil and gas properties between the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in millions).


2009 DD&A	$	560
Change due to rate		(108	)
Change due to volumes		(26	)

2010 DD&A	$	426

Oil and gas property-related DD&A decreased $108 million during the first three months of 2010 due to a 20% decrease in the DD&A rate. The largest contributor to the rate decrease was a reduction of the carrying value of our United States oil and gas properties recognized in the first quarter of 2009. This reduction totaled $6.4 billion and resulted from a full cost ceiling limitation. Additionally, our drilling activities subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2009 have resulted in proved reserve additions at a cost lower than the first quarter 2009 DD&A rate, causing the rate to decrease. These decreases were partially offset by the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar.

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”)

The following schedule includes the components of G&A expense.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010			2009			Change ⁽¹⁾

Net G&A	$	138		$	163			-16	%


(1)		All percentage changes included in this table are based on actual figures and are not calculated using the rounded figures included in this table.

Gross G&A decreased $43 million in the first three months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The largest contributor to the decrease was lower severance costs associated with employee departures and other decreases in employee compensation and benefits. Also, gross G&A decreased as a result of our initiatives to manage spending in certain discretionary cost categories. These decreases were partially offset by the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar. These factors were also the primary drivers of the decrease in capitalized G&A.

Change in Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The details of the changes in fair value of other financial instruments are shown in the table below.

Total	$	(15	)	$	(5	)

Interest Rate Swaps

During the first three months of 2010 and 2009, we received cash settlements totaling $16 million from counterparties to settle our interest rate swaps.

In addition to recognizing cash settlements, we also recognize unrealized changes in the fair values of our interest rate swaps each reporting period. In the first three months of 2010 and 2009, we recorded unrealized losses of $1 million and $11 million, respectively, as a result of changes in interest rates.

We estimate the fair values of our interest rate swap financial instruments primarily by using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward interest-rate yields. We periodically validate our valuation techniques by comparing our internally generated fair value estimates with those obtained from contract counterparties or brokers.

The most significant variable to our cash flow calculation is our estimate of future interest rate yields. We base our estimate of future yields upon our own internal model that utilizes forward curves such as the LIBOR or the Federal Funds Rate provided by a third party. Based on the notional amounts subject to interest rate swaps at March 31, 2010, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have increased the fair value of our interest rate swaps by approximately $50 million.

As previously discussed for our commodity derivative contracts, counterparty credit risk is also a component of interest rate derivative valuations. We have mitigated our exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with several counterparties. Our interest rate derivative contracts are held with seven separate counterparties. Additionally, our derivative contracts generally require cash collateral to be posted if either our or the counterparty’s credit rating falls below investment grade. The mark-to-market exposure threshold, above which collateral must be posted, decreases as the debt rating falls further below investment grade. Such thresholds generally range from zero to $50 million for the majority of our contracts. The credit ratings of all our counterparties were investment grade as of March 31, 2010.

Reduction of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties

In the first quarter of 2009, we reduced the carrying value of our United States oil and gas properties by $6.4 billion, or $4.1 billion after taxes, due to a full cost ceiling limitation. The reduction resulted from a significant decrease in the full cost ceiling compared to the immediately preceding quarter due to the effects of declining natural gas prices subsequent to December 31, 2008.

Income Taxes

The following table presents our total income tax expense (benefit) and a reconciliation of our effective income tax rate to the U.S. statutory income tax rate.

Earnings (loss) before income taxes		137			(66	)
Income tax expense		19			11

Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations	$	118		$	(77	)

Earnings increased $195 million in the first three months of 2010 primarily as a result of two factors. First, operating revenues increased largely due to a 79% increase in the price realized on our production, which was driven by an increase in crude oil index prices.

Also, earnings increased $109 million due to 2009 reductions of the carrying values of our oil and gas properties, which primarily related to Brazil. The Brazilian reduction resulted largely from an exploratory well drilled at the BM-BAR-3 block in the offshore Barreirinhas Basin. After drilling this well in the first quarter of 2009, we concluded that the well did not have adequate reserves for commercial viability. As a result, the seismic, leasehold and drilling costs associated with this well contributed to the reduction recognized in the first quarter of 2009.

Capital Resources, Uses and Liquidity

The following discussion of capital resources and liquidity should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of cash flows included in Part I, Item 1.

Operating Cash Flow – Continuing Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities (“operating cash flow”) continued to be a significant source of capital and liquidity in the first three months of 2010. Changes in operating cash flow are largely due to the same factors that affect our net earnings, with the exception of those earnings changes due to noncash expenses such as DD&A, property impairments, financial instrument fair value changes and deferred income taxes. Our operating cash flow increased approximately 33% in 2010 primarily due to the increase in revenues as discussed in the “Results of Operations” section of this report.

During the first three months of 2010, our operating cash flow was sufficient to fund our cash payments for capital expenditures. During the first three months of 2009, our operating cash flow funded approximately half of our cash payments for capital expenditures. Commercial paper and other borrowings were used to fund the remainder of our cash-based capital expenditures.

Other Sources of Cash – Continuing and Discontinued Operations

As needed, we supplement our operating cash flow and available cash by accessing available credit under our credit facilities and commercial paper program. We may also issue long-term debt to supplement our operating cash flow while maintaining adequate liquidity under our credit facilities. Additionally, we may acquire short-term investments to maximize our income on available cash balances. As needed, we reduce such short-term investment balances to further supplement our operating cash flow and available cash.

During the first three months of 2010, we sold our interests in the Jack, St. Malo and Cascade Lower Tertiary projects in the Gulf of Mexico for $1.3 billion. We used the proceeds from these divestitures to repay commercial paper borrowings.

In January 2009, we issued $500 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2014 and $700 million of 6.30% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2019. The net proceeds received of $1.187 billion, after discounts and issuance costs, were used primarily to repay our $1.0 billion of outstanding commercial paper as of December 31, 2008.

Subsequent to the $1.0 billion commercial paper repayment in January 2009, we utilized additional commercial paper borrowings of $894 million to fund capital expenditures.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures are presented by geographic area and type in the following table. The amounts in the table reflect cash payments for capital expenditures, including cash paid for capital expenditures incurred in prior quarters. Capital expenditures actually incurred during the first three months of 2010 and 2009 were approximately $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.

Total exploration and development		1,130		1,767
Midstream		48		128
Other		69		31

Total continuing operations	$	1,247	$	1,926

Our capital expenditures consist of amounts related to our oil and gas exploration and development operations, our midstream operations and other corporate activities. The vast majority of our capital expenditures are for the acquisition, drilling or development of oil and gas properties, which totaled $1.1 billion and $1.8 billion in the first three months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in exploration and development capital spending in the first three months of 2010 was primarily due to reduced drilling activities. Compared to the first quarter of 2009, we reduced drilling in response to lower commodity prices that were negatively impacting our operating cash flow. With rising oil prices and proceeds from our offshore divestiture program, we are increasing drilling to grow production across our North American Onshore portfolio of properties.

Capital expenditures for our midstream operations are primarily for the construction and expansion of natural gas processing plants, natural gas pipeline systems and oil pipelines. Our midstream capital expenditures are largely impacted by oil and gas drilling activities. Therefore, the reduction in development drilling also decreased midstream capital activities.

During the first three months of 2010, we repaid $1.2 billion of commercial paper borrowings primarily with proceeds received from Gulf of Mexico property divestitures.

Dividends

Our common stock dividends were $72 million and $70 million (quarterly rates of $0.16 per share) in the first three months of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Liquidity

Our primary source of capital and liquidity has historically been our operating cash flow. Additionally, we maintain revolving lines of credit and a commercial paper program, which can be accessed as needed to supplement operating cash flow. Other available sources of capital and liquidity include equity and debt securities that can be issued pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC. We estimate these capital resources and the divestiture proceeds discussed below will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our planned uses of capital. The following sections discuss changes to our liquidity subsequent to filing our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Operating Cash Flow

Our operating cash flow increased approximately 43% to $1.5 billion in the first three months of 2010. We expect operating cash flow to continue to be our primary source of liquidity. Our operating cash flow is sensitive to many variables, the most volatile of which is pricing of the oil, natural gas and NGLs produced. To mitigate some of the risk inherent in prices, we have utilized various price collars to set minimum and maximum prices on a portion of our production. We have also utilized various price swap contracts and fixed-price physical delivery contracts to fix the price of a portion of our future natural gas production. As of March 31, 2010, approximately 56% of our estimated 2010 natural gas production and 69% of our estimated oil production are subject to either price collars, swaps or fixed-price contracts.

Offshore Divestitures

During 2010, another major source of liquidity will be proceeds generated from divestitures of our offshore assets. During the first quarter of 2010, we made significant progress toward completion of our offshore divestiture program. In the first quarter of 2010, we closed the divestitures of our interests in the Jack, St. Malo and Cascade Lower Tertiary projects in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico for $1.3 billion ($1.1 billion after taxes).

In March 2010, we announced that we had entered into agreements to sell all of our remaining assets in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and Azerbaijan to BP for $7.0 billion. In addition, BP will assume our leases of the Seadrill West Sirius and Transocean Deepwater Discovery drilling rigs for the duration of the contract terms. We closed the deepwater Gulf of Mexico transaction in April 2010. We expect to close the Azerbaijan and Brazil transactions before the end of 2010.

In April 2010, we announced that we had entered into an agreement to sell all our shallow-water Gulf of Mexico assets for $1.05 billion (approximately $840 million after taxes). We expect to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2010.

Also in April 2010, we announced that we had entered into an agreement to sell our producing Panyu field located offshore China for $515 million (approximately $370 million after taxes). We expect to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2010.

Through April 2010, we have completely exited the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and announced divestiture transactions with proceeds that total $9.9 billion before taxes. Once all divestiture assets are sold, we estimate total pre-tax proceeds will exceed $10 billion and the after-tax proceeds will be approximately $8 billion. We expect to use the offshore divestiture proceeds to reduce debt, fund North American Onshore opportunities and repurchase shares of our common stock.

Credit Availability

In early May 2010, we cancelled our Short-Term Credit Facility prior to its November 2, 2010 maturity date. We incurred no cost to cancel the facility and will avoid paying the facility fee that pertains to the cancellation period. As of May 3, 2010, excluding the Short-Term Credit Facility, we had $2.6 billion of available capacity under our Senior Credit Facility that can be used to supplement our operating cash flow and available cash to fund our capital expenditures and other commitments. The following schedule summarizes the capacity of our Senior Credit Facility by maturity date, as well as our available capacity as of May 3, 2010 (in millions).


Senior Credit Facility:
April 7, 2012 maturity	$	500
April 7, 2013 maturity		2,150

Total Senior Credit Facility		2,650
Less:
Outstanding credit facility borrowings		—
Outstanding commercial paper borrowings		—
Outstanding letters of credit		88

Total available capacity	$	2,562

The credit facility contains only one material financial covenant. This covenant requires us to maintain a ratio of total funded debt to total capitalization, as defined in the credit agreement, of no more than 65%. As of March 31, 2010, we were in compliance with this covenant. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio at March 31, 2010, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the agreement, was 17.1%.

In early May 2010, we reduced the maximum allowed borrowings under our commercial paper program from $2.85 billion to approximately $2.2 billion.

Contractual Obligations

At the end of 2009, our commitments included $1.4 billion that related to long-term contracts for three deepwater drilling rigs. This total includes $1.2 billion related to two contracts that will be assumed by BP when the associated divestiture transactions close.

At the end of 2009, our commitments also included $0.4 billion that related to leases of floating, production, storage and offloading facilities being used in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and China. Our commitments for these leases will be assumed by the buyers of our assets in these locations when the associated divestiture transactions close.

Common Share Repurchase Program

As a result of the success we have experienced with our offshore divestiture program, we announced a share repurchase program in early May 2010. The program authorizes the repurchase of up to $3.5 billion of our common shares.

The fair values of our gas price swaps and collars and oil collars are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of relevant oil and gas price indexes. At March 31, 2010, a 10% increase in the forward curves associated with our gas price swaps and collars would have decreased the fair value of such instruments by approximately $159 million. A 10% increase in the forward curves associated with our oil collars would have decreased the fair value of such instruments by approximately $75 million.

Interest Rate Risk

At March 31, 2010, we had debt outstanding of $6.1 billion. Of this amount, $5.9 billion bears interest at fixed rates averaging 7.2%. Additionally, we had $0.2 billion of outstanding commercial paper, bearing interest at floating rates which averaged 0.22%.

The key terms of our interest rate derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2010 are presented in the following tables.

The fair values of our interest rate instruments are largely determined by estimates of the forward curves of the Federal Funds Rate and LIBOR. At March 31, 2010, a 10% increase in these forward curves would have increased the fair value of our interest rate swaps by approximately $50 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our net assets, net earnings and cash flows from our Canadian subsidiaries are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in the Canadian dollar functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the Canadian subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Revenues, expenses and cash flow are translated using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. A 10% unfavorable change in the Canadian-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate would not materially impact our March 31, 2010 balance sheet.


Item 4.		*Controls and Procedures*

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Devon, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify Devon’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
