TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01. Other Events
Devon reported its original 2006 forward-looking estimates in a Current Report on Form 8-K
dated February 1, 2006, and also in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In its Current Report on
Form 8-K dated May 3, 2006, Devon updated certain of its 2006 forward-looking estimates for the
$2.2 billion acquisition of properties from Chief Holdings LLC
(Chief) and other factors. In this document, Devon is again updating
certain of these 2006 forward-looking estimates. The updated estimates and the reasons therefore,
along with the estimates that have not changed, are presented in the following pages.

Forward-Looking Estimates
The forward-looking statements provided in this discussion are based on managements
examination of historical operating trends, the information which was used to prepare the December
31, 2005 Devon reserve reports and other data in Devons possession or available from third
parties. Devon cautions that its future oil, natural gas and NGL production, revenues and expenses
are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the exploration for and
development, production and sale of oil, gas and NGLs. These risks include, but are not limited to,
price volatility, inflation or lack of availability of goods and services, environmental risks,
drilling risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating future oil and gas
production or reserves, and other risks as outlined below.
Additionally, Devon cautions that its future marketing and midstream revenues and expenses are
subject to all of the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the marketing and midstream
business. These risks include, but are not limited to, price volatility, environmental risks,
regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating future processing volumes and pipeline
throughput, cost of goods and services and other risks as outlined below.
Though Devon has completed several major property acquisitions and dispositions in recent
years, these transactions are opportunity driven. Thus, the following forward-looking estimates do
not include any financial and operating effects of potential property acquisitions or divestitures
which may occur during the remainder of 2006.
Also, the financial results of Devons foreign operations are subject to currency exchange
rate risks. Unless otherwise noted, all of the following dollar amounts are expressed in U.S.
dollars. Amounts related to Canadian operations have been converted to U.S. dollars using a
projected average 2006 exchange rate of $0.88 U.S. dollar to $1.00 Canadian dollar. The actual 2006
exchange rate may vary materially from this estimate. Such variations could have a material effect
on these forward-looking estimates.
Additional risks are discussed below in the context of line items most affected by such risks.
A summary of these forward-looking estimates is included at the end of this document.
Specific Assumptions and Risks Related to Price and Production Estimates Prices for oil,
natural gas and NGLs are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions. Market conditions
for these products are influenced by regional and worldwide economic conditions, weather and other
local market conditions. These factors are beyond Devons control and are difficult to predict. In
addition to volatility in general, oil, gas and NGL prices may vary considerably due to differences
between regional markets, differing quality of oil produced (i.e., sweet crude versus heavy or sour
crude), differing Btu contents of gas produced, transportation availability and costs and demand
for the various products derived from oil, natural gas and NGLs. Substantially all of Devons
revenues are attributable to sales, processing and transportation of these three commodities.
Consequently, Devons financial results and resources are highly influenced by price volatility.
Estimates for future production of oil, natural gas and NGLs are based on the assumption that
market demand and prices for oil, gas and NGLs will continue at levels that allow for profitable
production of these products. There can be no assurance of such stability. Most of Devons Canadian
production of oil, natural gas and NGLs is subject to government royalties that fluctuate with
prices. Thus, price fluctuations can affect reported production. Also, Devons international
production of oil and natural gas is governed by payout agreements with the governments of the
3
countries in which Devon operates. If the payout under these agreements is attained earlier
than projected, Devons net production and proved reserves in such areas could be reduced.
Estimates for future processing and transport of oil, natural gas and NGLs are based on the
assumption that market demand and prices for oil, gas and NGLs will continue at levels that allow
for profitable processing and transport of these products. There can be no assurance of such
stability.
The production, transportation, processing and marketing of oil, natural gas and NGLs are
complex processes which are subject to disruption due to transportation and processing
availability, mechanical failure, human error, meteorological events including, but not limited to,
hurricanes, and numerous other factors. The following forward-looking statements were prepared
assuming demand, curtailment, productibility and general market conditions for Devons oil, natural
gas and NGLs during 2006 will be substantially similar to those of 2005, unless otherwise noted.
Geographic Reporting Areas for 2006
The following estimates of production, average price differentials compared to industry
benchmarks and capital expenditures are provided separately for each of the following geographic
areas:
|
|
|
the United States Onshore; |
|
|
|
|
the United States Offshore, which encompasses all oil and gas properties in the Gulf
of Mexico; |
|
|
|
|
Canada; and |
|
|
|
|
International, which encompasses all oil and gas properties that lie outside of the
United States and Canada. |
Year 2006 Potential Operating Items
Oil, Gas and NGL Production Set forth in the following paragraphs are individual estimates of
oil, gas and NGL production for 2006. Devons most recent estimate of 2006 production, on a
combined basis, was 217 MMBoe. As a result of various contractual and operational developments,
Devon is increasing this estimate by one MMBoe. The most significant development contributing to
this upward revision is that Devon now expects to reach payout under the production sharing
contract governing its interest in the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli oil development project within the
next six months, resulting in an increase to 2006 production. Therefore, Devon now estimates, on a
combined basis, that its 2006 oil, gas, and NGL production will total approximately 218 MMBoe.

Oil Prices Devon has not fixed the price it will receive on any of its 2006 oil
production. Devons 2006 average prices for each of its areas are expected to differ from the NYMEX
price as set forth in the following table. The NYMEX price is the monthly average of settled prices
on each trading day for benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude oil delivered at Cushing, Oklahoma.

Gas Prices Devons 2006 average prices for each of its areas are expected to differ from
the NYMEX price as set forth in the following table. The NYMEX price is determined to be the
first-of-month South Louisiana Henry Hub price index as published monthly in Inside FERC.
During the first half of 2006, Devon had approximately 51 MMcf per day of gas production that
was subject to fixed-price contracts. During the last half of 2006, Devon will have approximately
88 MMcf per day of gas production that is subject to either fixed-price contracts, swaps, floors or
collars. These amounts represent approximately 3% of Devons estimated gas production for 2006.
Therefore, these various pricing arrangements are not expected to have a material impact on the
ranges of estimated gas price realizations set forth in the following table.

Marketing and Midstream Revenues and Expenses Marketing and midstream revenues and
expenses are derived primarily from its natural gas processing plants and natural gas transport
pipelines. These revenues and expenses vary in response to several factors. The factors include,
but are not limited to, changes in production from wells connected to the pipelines and related
processing plants, changes in the absolute and relative prices of natural gas and NGLs, provisions
of the contract agreements and the amount of repair and workover activity required to maintain
anticipated processing levels.
These factors, coupled with uncertainty of future natural gas and NGL prices, increase the
uncertainty inherent in estimating future marketing and midstream revenues and expenses. Devons
most recent estimate for marketing and midstream revenues was between $1.74 billion and $2.20
billion, and the most recent estimate for marketing and midstream expenses was between $1.38
billion and $1.80 billion. Due to higher estimates for absolute and relative NGL prices, Devon now
estimates that its marketing and midstream revenues will be between $1.77 billion and $2.00
billion, and marketing and midstream expenses will be between $1.35 billion and $1.56 billion.
Production and Operating Expenses Devons production and operating expenses include lease
operating expenses, transportation costs and production taxes. These expenses vary in response to
several factors. Among the most significant of these factors are additions to or deletions from the
property base, changes in the general price level of services and materials that are used in the
operation of the properties, the amount of repair and workover activity required and changes in
production tax rates. Oil, natural gas and NGL prices also have an effect on lease operating
expenses and impact the economic feasibility of planned workover projects. Given these
uncertainties, Devon estimates that 2006 lease operating expenses (including transportation costs)
will be between $1.44 billion and $1.51 billion.
Devons most recent estimate for production taxes was between 3.25% and 3.75% of consolidated
oil, natural gas and NGL revenues. Effective March 26, 2006, oil revenues in China are subject to a
new Special Petroleum Gain tax based on higher oil prices. As a result of the effect of this new
tax, Devon now estimates its production taxes for 2006 to be between 3.6% and 4.0% of consolidated
oil, natural gas and NGL revenues.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (DD&A) The 2006 oil and gas property DD&A rate
will depend on various factors. Most notable among such factors are the amount of proved reserves
that will be added from drilling or acquisition efforts in 2006 compared to the costs incurred for
such efforts, and the revisions to Devons year-end 2005 reserve estimates that, based on prior
experience, are likely to be made during 2006.
Devons most recent estimate for its oil and gas property related DD&A rate was between $9.90
per Boe and $10.30 per Boe. Based on these DD&A rates and the production estimates set forth at
that time, oil and gas property related DD&A expense for 2006 was expected to be between $2.145
billion and $2.230 billion. Due to continued weakening of the U.S. dollar
6
compared to the Canadian dollar and continuing inflationary pressures on both costs incurred
and estimated development costs to be spent in future periods on proved undeveloped reserves, Devon
now estimates that its oil and gas property related DD&A rate will be between $10.30 per Boe and
$10.70 per Boe. Based on these DD&A rates and the updated production estimates, oil and gas
property related DD&A expense for 2006 is expected to be between $2.25 billion and $2.33 billion.
Additionally, Devon expects its depreciation and amortization expense related to non-oil and
gas property fixed assets to total between $170 million and $180 million.
Accretion of Asset Retirement Obligation The 2006 accretion of asset retirement obligation is
expected to be between $48 million and $53 million.
General and Administrative Expenses (G&A) Devons G&A includes employee compensation and
benefits costs and the costs of many different goods and services used in support of its business.
G&A varies with the level of Devons operating activities and the related staffing and professional
services requirements. In addition, employee compensation and benefits costs vary due to various
market factors that affect the level and type of compensation and benefits offered to employees.
Also, goods and services are subject to general price level increases or decreases. Therefore,
significant variances in any of these factors from current expectations could cause actual G&A to
vary materially from the estimate.
Given these limitations, consolidated G&A in 2006 is expected to be between $370 million and
$390 million. This estimate includes $35 million of expenses related to restricted stock
compensation costs, net of related capitalization in accordance with the full cost method of
accounting for oil and gas properties. This estimate also includes $35 million of expenses related
to stock option compensation costs, net of related capitalization. Stock option costs are being
expensed beginning January 1, 2006.
Reduction of Carrying Value of Oil and Gas Properties Devon follows the full cost method of
accounting for its oil and gas properties. Under the full cost method, Devons net book value of
oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes (the costs to be recovered), may not
exceed a calculated full cost ceiling. The ceiling limitation is the discounted estimated
after-tax future net revenues from oil and gas properties plus the cost of properties not subject
to amortization. The ceiling is imposed separately by country. In calculating future net revenues,
current prices and costs used are those as of the end of the appropriate quarterly period. These
prices are not changed except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable
contracts for the remaining term of those contracts. Such contracts include derivatives accounted
for as cash flow hedges. The costs to be recovered are compared to the ceiling on a quarterly
basis. If the costs to be recovered exceed the ceiling, the excess is written off as an expense. An
expense recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though higher oil
and gas prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period.
Because the ceiling calculation dictates that prices in effect as of the last day of the
applicable quarter are held constant indefinitely, and requires a 10% discount factor, the
resulting value is not indicative of the true fair value of the reserves. Oil and natural gas
prices have historically been cyclical and, on any particular day at the end of a quarter, can be
either substantially higher or lower than Devons long-term price forecast that is a barometer for
true fair value. Therefore, oil and gas property writedowns that result from applying the full cost
ceiling limitation, and that are caused by fluctuations in price as opposed to reductions to the
underlying quantities of
7
reserves, should not be viewed as absolute indicators of a reduction of the ultimate value of
the related reserves.
During the first half of 2006, we reduced the carrying value of our Nigerian and Brazilian oil
and gas properties by $85 million and $16 million, respectively, due to unsuccessful exploratory
drilling results. It is not possible to predict whether Devon will incur other reductions in
carrying value in future periods.
Interest Expense Future interest rates and debt outstanding have a significant effect on
Devons interest expense. Devon can only marginally influence the prices it will receive in 2006
from sales of oil, natural gas and NGLs and the resulting cash flow. These factors increase the
margin of error inherent in estimating future interest expense. Other factors which affect interest
expense, such as the amount and timing of capital expenditures, are within Devons control.
Devons most recent estimate of its 2006 interest expense (net of amounts capitalized) was
between $430 million and $440 million. Devon has determined that these estimates should be
increased due to increases in prevailing floating interest rates. Therefore, 2006 interest expense
is now estimated to be between $435 million and $445 million.
The interest expense in 2006 related to Devons fixed-rate debt, including net accretion of
related discounts, will be approximately $410 million. This fixed-rate debt removes the uncertainty
of future interest rates from some, but not all, of Devons long-term debt. Devons floating rate
debt is discussed in the following paragraphs.
Devon used variable-rate commercial paper to fund a portion of the Chief acquisition. Also,
Devon has various debt instruments which have been converted to floating rate debt through the use
of interest rate swaps. Devons floating rate debt is as follows:

Devons most recent estimate for interest expense on its floating rate debt was between
$80 million and $90 million. Based on future LIBOR rates as of June 30, 2006, interest expense on
floating rate debt, including net amortization of premiums, is now expected to total between $85
million and $95 million in 2006.
Devons interest expense totals include payments of facility and agency fees, amortization of
debt issuance costs, the effect of interest rate swaps not accounted for as hedges, and other
miscellaneous items not related to the debt balances outstanding. Devon expects between $5 million
and $15 million of such items to be included in its 2006 interest expense. Also, Devon expects to
capitalize between $65 million and $75 million of interest during 2006.

Effects of Changes in Foreign Currency Rates Foreign currency gains or losses are not expected
to be material in 2006.
Other Revenues Devons most recent estimate for other revenues in 2006 was between $135
million and $155 million. This estimate included $50 million to $70 million for a portion of
anticipated insurance proceeds in excess of related costs. Due to the factors discussed below
regarding Devons insurance program, Devon believes it is possible that the ultimate amount of such
excess insurance recoveries will not be recordable as other revenues until 2007. Therefore, Devon
now estimates that its other revenues in 2006 will be between $80 million and $100 million.
Devon maintains a comprehensive insurance program that includes coverage for physical damage
to its offshore facilities caused by hurricanes. Its insurance program also includes substantial
business interruption coverage which Devon expects to utilize to recover costs associated with the
suspended production related to hurricanes that struck the Gulf of Mexico in the third quarter of
2005. Under the terms of the insurance program, Devon is entitled to be reimbursed for the portion
of production suspended longer than forty-five days, subject to upper limits to oil and natural gas
prices. Also, the terms of the insurance include a standard, per-event deductible of $1 million for
offshore losses as well as a $15 million aggregate annual deductible. During the third quarter of
2006, Devon collected $467 million as a full settlement with its primary insurers. Devon is not
immediately recording this amount as other revenues due to uncertainties surrounding future costs
to be incurred and future reimbursements to be received from its secondary insurers. Based on
current estimates of physical damage and the anticipated length of time Devon will have production
suspended, Devon expects its policy recoveries will exceed repair costs and deductible amounts.
However, Devon believes it is possible that the ultimate amount of such excess will not be known
until 2007. Therefore, Devon expects such excess will not be recordable as other revenues until
2007.
Income Taxes Devons financial income tax rate in 2006 will vary materially depending on the
actual amount of financial pre-tax earnings. The tax rate for 2006 will be significantly affected
by the proportional share of consolidated pre-tax earnings generated by U.S., Canadian and
International operations due to the different tax rates of each country. There are certain tax
deductions and credits that will have a fixed impact on 2006 income tax expense regardless of the
level of pre-tax earnings that are produced.
Given the uncertainty of pre-tax earnings, Devon expects that its consolidated financial
income tax rate in 2006 will be between 25% and 45%. The current income tax rate is expected to be
between 20% and 30%. The deferred income tax rate is expected to be between 5% and 15%. Significant
changes in estimated capital expenditures, production levels of oil, gas and NGLs, the prices of
such products, marketing and midstream revenues, or any of the various expense items could
materially alter the effect of the aforementioned tax deductions and credits on 2006 financial
income tax rates.
Year 2006 Potential Capital Sources, Uses and Liquidity
Capital Expenditures Though Devon has completed several major property acquisitions in recent
years, these transactions are opportunity driven. Thus, Devon does not budget, nor can it
reasonably predict, the timing or size of such possible acquisitions.
Devons capital expenditures budget is based on an expected range of future oil, natural gas
and NGL prices as well as the expected costs of the capital additions. Should actual prices
9
received differ materially from Devons price expectations for its future production, some
projects may be accelerated or deferred and, consequently, may increase or decrease total 2006
capital expenditures. In addition, if the actual material or labor costs of the budgeted items vary
significantly from the anticipated amounts, actual capital expenditures could vary materially from
Devons estimates.
Given the limitations discussed, the company expects its 2006 capital expenditures for
drilling and development efforts, plus related facilities, to total between $4.745 billion and
$4.940 billion. These amounts include between $1.375 billion and $1.435 billion for drilling and
facilities costs related to reserves classified as proved as of year-end 2005. In addition, these
amounts include between $2.280 billion and $2.375 billion for other production capital and between
$1.090 billion and $1.130 billion for exploration capital. Other production capital includes
development drilling that does not offset currently productive units and for which there is not a
certainty of continued production from a known productive formation. Exploration capital includes
exploratory drilling to find and produce oil or gas in previously untested fault blocks or new
reservoirs.
The following table shows expected drilling, development and facilities expenditures by
geographic area. These amounts do not include the $2.2 billion Chief acquisition.

In addition to the above expenditures for drilling, development and facilities, Devon
expects to spend between $330 million to $380 million on its marketing and midstream assets, which
include its oil pipelines, gas processing plants, CO2 removal facilities and gas
transport pipelines. Devon also expects to capitalize between $235 million and $245 million of G&A
expenses in accordance with the full cost method of accounting and to capitalize between $65
million and $75 million of interest. Devon also expects to pay between $35 million and $45 million
for plugging and abandonment charges, and to spend between $170 million and $180 million for other
non-oil and gas property fixed assets.
Other Cash Uses Devons management expects the policy of paying a quarterly common stock
dividend to continue. With the current $0.1125 per share quarterly dividend rate and 441 million
shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2006, dividends are expected to approximate $198
million. Also, Devon has $150 million of 6.49% cumulative preferred stock upon which it will pay
$10 million of dividends in 2006.
On August 3, 2005, Devon announced its intention to buy back up to 50 million shares of its
common stock. As of August 2, 2006, Devon had repurchased 6.5 million shares under the program for
$387 million. As a result of the Chief acquisition, this repurchase program has been suspended and
will be reevaluated later in 2006.
10
Capital Resources and Liquidity Devons estimated 2006 cash uses, including its drilling and
development activities and repurchase of common stock, are expected to be funded primarily through
a combination of working capital (which totaled $1.3 billion at the end of 2005) and operating cash
flow. In addition, Devon utilized approximately $718 million of cash and approximately $1.4 billion
of borrowings under its commercial paper program to fund the Chief acquisition price. Any remaining
cash uses could be funded with borrowings from the available capacity under Devons credit
facility, which was $788 million at June 30, 2006. The amount of operating cash flow to be
generated during 2006 is uncertain due to the factors affecting revenues and expenses as previously
cited. However, Devon expects its combined capital resources to be more than adequate to fund its
anticipated capital expenditures and other cash uses for 2006.
If significant other acquisitions or other unplanned capital requirements arise during the
year, Devon could utilize its existing credit facility and/or seek to establish and utilize other
sources of financing.
