Devon Raises 2015 Production Outlook; Lowering E&P Capital Budget
Detailed forward-looking guidance for the second quarter and full-year 2015 is provided later in the release. A notable update from this revised outlook is Devon raising its total oil production growth to a range of 25 to 35 percent, a substantial increase from the Company’s previous full-year growth guidance of 20 to 25 percent. Due to the improving outlook for oil production, the Company has also raised its top-line production growth guidance in 2015 to a range of 5 to 10 percent.
In addition to higher production, Devon is also benefiting from lower capital requirements. The Company’s 2015 E&P capital program is now expected to range from $3.9 to $4.1 billion. This represents a $250 million reduction in capital spending compared to the Company’s previous guidance.
