                   Independent Auditors' Report



The Plan Sponsor and Participants
PennzEnergy Company Savings and Investment Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available
for   plan  benefits  of  the  PennzEnergy  Company  Savings   and
Investment  Plan  (the  Plan) as of December  31,  1999,  and  the
related  statement  of changes in net assets  available  for  plan
benefits  for  the year ended December 31, 1999.  These  financial
statements and the supplemental schedule referred to below are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to
express   an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  and   the
supplemental schedule based on our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit  in accordance with  generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require  that  we  plan  and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatements.  An audit
includes  examining,  on  a test basis,  evidence  supporting  the
amounts  and  disclosures in the financial statements.   An  audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used   and
significant estimates made by the Plan's management,  as  well  as
evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement  presentation.   We
believe  that  our  audit  provides a  reasonable  basis  for  our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in  all material respects, the net assets  available  for
plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1999, and the changes
in  its net assets available for plan benefits for the year  ended
December   31,   1999,  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted
accounting principles.

Our  audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion  on  the
basic  financial  statements taken as a whole.   The  supplemental
schedule  of  assets held for investment purposes at end  of  year
December 31, 1999 is presented for purposes of additional analysis
and  is not a required part of the basic financial statements  but
is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's
Rules  and  Regulations  for Reporting and  Disclosure  under  the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.   The
supplemental   schedule  has  been  subjected  to   the   auditing
procedures  applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects  in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

To the Administrative Committee,
PennzEnergy Company

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available
for plan benefits of the PennzEnergy Company Savings and Investment
Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1998.  This financial statement
is the responsibility of the Plan's administrative committee.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement
based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statement is free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statement.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by the Plan's administrative committee, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1998, in conformity with

(1)   Spin-Off  of  Pennzoil-Quaker State  Company  From  Pennzoil
      Company

   On  December  30, 1998, Pennzoil Company (Pennzoil) distributed
   to  its shareholders 47.8 million shares of common stock of its
   wholly   owned   subsidiary   Pennzoil-Quaker   State   Company
   (Pennzoil-Quaker  State) representing  all  of  the  shares  of
   Pennzoil-Quaker State owned by Pennzoil.

   As  part  of  the spin-off transaction, effective December  31,
   1998,  the  Pennzoil Company Savings and Investment  Plan  (the
   Plan)   was   renamed  the  PennzEnergy  Company  Savings   and
   Investment  Plan.  As of January 1, 1999, the Plan covered  the
   employees    of    PennzEnergy   Company   and    participating
   subsidiaries  and  affiliated  companies  (PennzEnergy).    Net
   assets  available  for benefits of $119.9  million  related  to
   Pennzoil-Quaker  State  employees  were  transferred   to   the
   Pennzoil-Quaker  State Company Savings and Investment  Plan  in
   1999.

   In  connection  with  the  spin-off, Pennzoil  distributed  one
   share of Pennzoil-Quaker State common stock for every share  of
   Pennzoil  common  stock.  As a result, the  Plan's  Stock  Fund
   held  both  PennzEnergy and Pennzoil-Quaker State common  stock
   at December 31, 1998.

   On  August  17,  1999,  Devon Energy  Corporation  (Devon)  and
   PennzEnergy  closed their merger of the two  companies.   As  a
   result,  PennzEnergy shareholders, including the Plan, received
   .4475   shares  of  Devon  common  stock  for  each  share   of
   PennzEnergy  common stock owned.  The Plan  name  has  remained
   intact;  however, all active participants of the Plan  are  now
   employed by Devon (the Plan Sponsor).

(2)  Description of the Plan

   The  following  description of the Plan provides  only  general
   information.   Participants should refer to the Plan  agreement
   for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

   (a) General

       The  Plan  is  a defined contribution plan covering only former
       employees  of  PennzEnergy.  As of August  17,  1999,  upon
       closing of the merger between Devon and PennzEnergy,  there
       have  been no participants added to the Plan.  The Plan  is
       subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  Employee  Retirement
       Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).  The  Plan
       is  administered by the seven senior executive officers  of
       Devon.   Merrill  Lynch  Group  Employee  Services  is  the
       Trustee of the Plan.

   (b) Contributions

       Participants  may  contribute up to 12  percent  of  annual
       compensation,   as   defined   in   the   Plan.    Employee
       contributions may be made "after-tax" or, under  a  Section
       401(k)  option, on a "before-tax" basis.  Devon matches  an
       employee's  contribution  dollar-for-dollar   up   to   six
       percent  of  base  compensation.   The  Plan  was  amended,
       effective  January  1,  2000,  to  allow  participants   to
       contribute up to 15 percent of annual compensation.

   (c) Investment Options

       Participants   may  direct  their  contributions   to   the
       investment  options  listed below.   Effective  August  17,
       1999,  the Plan was amended to allow participants to direct
       employer  contributions to the investment  options  offered
       by   the   Plan.   Prior  to  August  17,  1999,   employer
       contributions were not directed by participants and at  the
       prior plan sponsor's option were made in either cash or  in
       common  stock.  All employer contributions from January  1,
       1999,  through August 17, 1999, were made in common  stock.
       Employer  contributions subsequent to August 17,1999,  were
       made in cash.

       Prior  to December 1, 1999, participants attaining  age  55
       were  able to direct the investment of their existing  non-
       participant  directed employer contribution accounts  among
       the  various  investment options.   Effective  December  1,
       1999,  the  Plan  was amended to allow all participants  to
       direct  the  investment  of their existing  non-participant
       directed  employer contribution accounts among the  various
       investment options.

   (d) Participant Loans

       Participants  may  borrow a minimum of  $1,000  up  to  the
       lessor  of  50%  of their vested account or $50,000.   Loan
       terms  may  range from six months to five years (up  to  20
       years  for the purchase of a primary residence).  The loans
       are  secured  by the balance in the participants'  accounts
       and  bear  interest at the prime rate plus one percent,  on
       the dates the loans are made.

   (e) Vesting and Disposition of Forfeitures

       Participants  are vested immediately in their contributions
       plus   actual  earnings  thereon.   Participants  vest   in
       employer  contributions at a rate of 25  percent  per  year
       beginning  at  the  end of two years of  service,  becoming
       fully  vested after five years of service or attainment  of
       age  55.   Any  nonvested portion of employer contributions
       shall be forfeited upon termination.  Forfeitures shall  be
       allocated  as  follows:  first, to reinstate  any  employer
       contribution amounts of participants who return to  service
       and second, to restore any amounts previously forfeited  as
       unclaimed  benefits.  Any remaining amounts are applied  to
       reduce future employer contributions.

   (f) Participant Accounts

       Separate  accounts  are maintained  in  the  name  of  each
       participant.   Each participant's account is credited  with
       the  participant's contributions and allocation of (i)  the
       employer's  contributions, (ii) Plan  earnings,  and  (iii)
       forfeited  balances  of terminated participants'  nonvested
       employer contribution accounts.

   (g) Withdrawals

       Withdrawals  may  be  made  from either  of  an  employee's
       previous   pretax  or  after-tax  contributions,   net   of
       previous  withdrawals,  upon written  notice  to  the  Plan
       Sponsor.  After-tax withdrawals cause the  participants  to
       forfeit the right to participate in the Plan for 180  days,
       while   pretax  withdrawals  are  allowed  only  when   the
       participant  is  age  59 1/2  or  older,  unless  a  financial
       hardship  exists.   Hardship  withdrawals  will  cause  the
       participants to be suspended from making contributions  for
       365   days.    Withdrawals  may  be  made   from   employer
       contributions only if the participant is fully  vested  and
       only  after  withdrawing all amounts from  any  prior  plan
       accounts  and  any rollover amounts, and  not  being  in  a
       suspended status.

   (h) Payment of Benefits

       Upon  death,  disability,  or  termination  of  service,  a
       participant  may  elect  to receive  benefit  payments,  as
       prescribed  by  the  Plan,  equal  to  the  value  of   the
       participant's vested interest in his or her accounts.

   (i) Administrative Costs

       All  administrative expenses are borne by the Plan  Sponsor
       with  the  exception of fees for investment management  and
       loan processing fees for participant loans.

   (j) Plan Termination

       Although  no formal amendment has been approved,  the  Plan
       Sponsor expects to terminate the Plan and transfer its  net
       assets  to  the Devon Energy Corporation Incentive  Savings
       Plan  (Devon  Plan).  All former employees  of  PennzEnergy
       are  subject  to  a severance plan until August  17,  2001.
       Under  the  terms of the severance plan, any such employees
       severed  by  Devon will, upon termination, be fully  vested
       in  their  participant accounts.  Outside of the  severance
       plan,  all participants will continue to vest in accordance
       with  the terms of the Plan.  Upon termination of the Plan,
       all  amounts  credited to participants'  accounts  will  be
       transferred  and  participants  will  become  eligible   to
       participate  under  the  agreement and  amendments  of  the
       Devon Plan.

(3)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   (a) Basis of Presentation

       The  accompanying  financial statements of  the  Plan  have
       been   prepared  in  conformity  with  generally   accepted
       accounting  principles  and  practices  permitted  by   the
       Department  of Labor's Rules and Regulations for  Reporting
       and Disclosure under ERISA.

       In  September  1999,  the American Institute  of  Certified
       Public  Accountants  issued  Statement  of  Position  99-3,
       Accounting   for   and   Reporting   of   Certain   Defined
       Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure  Matters
       (SOP  99-3).   SOP  99-3  simplifies  the  disclosure   for
       certain investments and is effective for plan years  ending
       after  December 15, 1999.  The Plan adopted SOP 99-3 during
       the  Plan  year  ending  December 31,  1999.   Accordingly,
       information  previously  required  to  be  disclosed  about
       participant-directed  fund  investment  programs   is   not
       presented  in  the Plan's 1999 financial  statements.   The
       Plan's 1998 financial statements have been reclassified  to
       conform with 1999's presentation.

   (b) Use of Estimates

       The  preparation of financial statements in conformity with
       generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires   the
       Plan's  management  to use estimates and  assumptions  that
       affect   the   accompanying   financial   statements    and
       disclosures.   Actual  results  could  differ  from   those
       estimates.

   (c) Investments

       The  Plan's  investments are reflected in the  accompanying
       financial  statements at fair value.  For  the  Stock  Fund,
       mutual funds, and the Merrill Lynch Equity Index Trust,
       fair value was determined by  using  the closing price of
       the securities or funds as listed  on  the applicable
       stock exchange on the last trading day  of  the Plan year.
       The  Merrill  Lynch  Retirement  Preservation  Trust
       is  a common/collective trust  fund  investing primarily
       in  guaranteed  investment  contracts  and  U.S.
       Government    securities.    The   guaranteed    investment
       contracts are fully benefit responsive and are recorded  at
       contract  value, which approximates fair value.   Effective
       yields approximated 6.5% and 6.6% at December 31, 1999  and
       1998,  respectively.  Contract value for the Merrill  Lynch
       Retirement  Preservation  Trust  was  determined  based  on
       contributions  made  under  the  investment  contract  plus
       interest earned at the contract's rate less funds  used  to
       pay  investment  fees  charged by the insurance  companies.
       Loans   to  participants  are  stated  at  the  outstanding
       principal  balance  of  the loans  which  approximate  fair
       value.   Investment transactions are recognized as  of  the
       trade date.

(4)  Investments and Non-Participant Directed Net Assets

   The  following investments at fair value represent 5%  or  more
   of the net assets of the Plan at December 31, 1999 and 1998:

(5)  Federal Income Taxes

   The  Plan  received its latest determination letter on  October
   26,  1994,  in which the Internal Revenue Service  stated  that
   the  Plan,  as  then  designed,  was  in  compliance  with  the
   Provisions  of  Sections  401(a) and  401(k)  of  the  Internal
   Revenue  Code.  The Plan has since been amended  and  the  Plan
   Sponsor  believes  the  Plan is currently  designed  and  being
   operated  in  compliance with applicable  requirements  of  the
   Internal  Revenue  Code.  Therefore, the Plan Sponsor  believes
   that  the  Plan  is qualified and the related trust  is  exempt
   from federal income taxes.
