ITEM 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On August 29, 2000, Devon Merger Co., a Delaware corporation
and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon Energy Corporation,
a Delaware Corporation ("Devon"), completed its merger (the
"Merger") with Santa Fe Snyder Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Santa Fe Snyder"), pursuant to the Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated May 25, 2000, as amended (the "Merger
Agreement"), by and among Devon, Devon Merger Co. and Santa Fe
Snyder.  In the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of
common stock of Santa Fe Snyder, par value $0.01 per share, was
converted into the right to receive 0.22 shares of common stock
of Devon, par value $0.10 per share.  This exchange ratio was
determined through arm's length negotiations between the parties.
In connection with the Merger, Santa Fe Snyder, the surviving
corporation, changed its name to Devon SFS Operating, Inc.

     Devon expects to issue up to 43,303,662 shares of common
stock to the former holders of Santa Fe Snyder common stock.  As
a result of the Merger, shares of Santa Fe Snyder common stock
cease to be outstanding and are cancelled; each holder of a
certificate representing shares of Santa Fe Snyder common stock
ceases to have any rights with respect to such shares.  Each
certificate representing shares of Santa Fe Snyder common stock
now evidences (i) the number of whole shares of Devon common
stock into which such shares converted and (ii) the right to
receive cash for fractional shares of Devon common stock.  The
stockholders of Devon and Santa Fe Snyder approved the Merger at
special meetings held August 29, 2000.

     The terms of the Merger were described in the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus of Devon and Santa Fe Snyder dated July 21,
2000, which was included in Devon's 424(b)(3) filing (Commission
File No. 333-39908).  A press release announcing the adoption of
the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of each of Devon and
Santa Fe Snyder was issued on August 29, 2000, and the
information contained therein is incorporated herein by reference
to Exhibit 99.1 to Devon's Current Report on Form 8-K filed
August 29, 2000.
