Timing of Non-Operated Activity Limits Fourth Quarter Production
Devon’s net production averaged 548,000 Boe per day in the fourth quarter of 2017. Of this total, oil production in the quarter totaled 246,000 barrels per day, which was 14,000 barrels per day below the company’s midpoint guidance.
In the fourth quarter, net production in the U.S. was limited by about 9,000 barrels per day primarily Because of the timing of well tie-ins associated with non-operated activity in the STACK. This timing issue has been resolved with the tie-in of over 50 non-operated wells about year end in the STACK (see “February 2018 Production Update” section for more details.)
In Canada, net production averaged 134,000 Boe per day in the fourth quarter, an 8 percent raise from the previous quarter. Facility modifications and temporary steam constraints at the company’s Jackfish complex curtailed production by about 5,000 barrels per day in the fourth quarter.
Devon Energy Corporation, an independent energy company, primarily engages in the exploration, development, and production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids in the United States and Canada.
