                                AMENDMENT NO. 5

          The Statement on Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock, par
value $0.10 per share ("Shares"), of Devon Energy Corporation ("Devon"),
which was initially filed on January 8, 1997 (the "Initial Statement") by
Kerr-McGee Corporation ("Kerr-McGee") and amended by Amendment No. 1, as
filed on May 28, 1999, Amendment No. 2, as filed on July 18, 1999, Amendment
No. 3, as filed on July 22, 1999, and Amendment No. 4, as filed on August 4,
1999, is hereby further amended as set forth herein.  Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Initial
Statement.  Amendment No. 4 is amended and restated in its entirety by the
following text:

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
          Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

          Item 6 is amended by adding the following text to the end thereof:

          On August 2, 1999, Kerr-McGee closed its public offering of
$287,259,450 aggregate principal amount of its 5-1/2% Exchangeable Notes due
August 2, 2004 (the "DECS").  The underwriters have an option, exercisable
for a thirty-day period following August 2, 1999 to cover over-allotments, if
any, for an additional $43,088,924 aggregate principal amount of DECS.

          On August 2, 2004, holders of the DECS, who at that time may be any
member of the public, will receive for each DEC between approximately 0.85
and 1.00 Shares of Devon, depending on the average trading price of Shares at
that time, or, at the option of Kerr-McGee, the cash equivalent.  The terms
of the rights and obligations of holders of DECS to receive Shares are more
fully described in Exhibits 5, 6 and 7 hereto, which are incorporated herein
by reference.

          Until the proper delivery and receipt of the Shares, if any, on
August 2, 2004, holders of DECS are not entitled to any rights with respect
to the Shares, including, without limitation, the right to dispose, transfer,
vote or receive any dividend or other distribution.  Kerr-McGee may not
redeem the DECS until August 2, 2004.  Kerr-McGee is not prohibited from
disposing, transferring or voting the Shares, except pursuant to the Stock
Agreement, which will terminate on the effectiveness of the Merger of Devon
and PennzEnergy Company.
