Main Conference Day One - November 5

8:40 AM Fireside Chat: Devon Energy’s Edge Business Optimization Plan

In April 2025, Devon Energy set out an ambitious business optimization plan to enhance margins and capital efficiency, with a targeted $1 billion in annual pre-tax free cash flow improvement. With approximately 30 percent of the estimated improvements expected to be accomplished by year-end 2025, in this session we will explore the three of the key components of their plan and progress to date, including:  

  • Production Optimization: Using advanced analytics to minimize maintenance events, reduce downtime, flatten production declines and optimize operating cost structure 
  • Capital Efficiency: Capturing efficiencies through design optimization, cycle time reductions, facility standardization and vendor management 
  • Commercial Opportunities: Leveraging scale to enhance commercial contracts to increase realizations and improve recoveries and lower GP&T cost structure
