            DEVON ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

              The accompanying consolidated  financial statements
and  notes thereto have been  prepared pursuant to  the rules and
regulations   of  the   Securities   and   Exchange   Commission.
Accordingly,  certain footnote  disclosures normally  included in
financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance   with  generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such
rules and  regulations.  The  accompanying consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto should  be read in conjunction  with
the consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  included  in
Devon's 1994 annual report on Form 10-K.

              In   the   opinion  of   Devon's   management,  all
adjustments (all  of which are  normal and  recurring) have  been
made  which  are  necessary  to  fairly  state  the  consolidated
financial position of Devon  and its subsidiaries as of  June 30,
1995, and the results of their operations for the three month and
six month periods  ended June 30,  1995 and 1994  and their  cash
flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

2.   Acquisition

     On May  18, 1994,  Devon  acquired Alta  Energy  Corporation
("Alta") via a  merger between the two companies  (the "Merger").
The accompanying consolidated  statements of  cash flows  include
cash payments related to the Merger in both the six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  The $42.2 million of cash payments
in  the first  half of  1994 represent  substantially all  of the
$42.4 million  paid in the year  1994 related to the  Merger.  In
addition  to  these  payments, Devon  also  issued  approximately
1,168,000 shares of its common stock for the Merger.

     Subsequently,  in February  1995, Devon  paid  an additional
$2.4 million to the  former Alta stockholders.  This  payment, in
accordance  with  the  Merger  agreement,  was  based  upon   the
evaluation of a well completed  by Alta during the first  half of
1994.

3.   Contingent Transaction

     In  early 1995, Devon and an unrelated entity entered into a
transaction covering substantially all of Devon's San Juan  Basin
gas  properties.   However,  the  transaction  is  subject  to  a
material unresolved contingency  and a confidentiality agreement.
Until  the  contingency  is  resolved,  Devon  is  deferring  the
recognition   of   the  operating   statement  impact   from  the
transaction.  The pro forma  information at the end of  this note
presents the potential impact on Devon's operating statement from
this contingent transaction.  



                                8
<PAGE>


     As  of June 30, 1995, Devon had received $17.9 million under
the terms of the transaction.  Since the entire $17.9  million is
refundable, these  funds  are  recorded  as  liabilities  in  the
accompanying June  30, 1995  consolidated balance sheet,  pending
the resolution of the contingency.  Approximately $6.4 million of
the total received  to date will be  recorded as revenues if  the
contingency is favorably  resolved.  This  amount is included  in
deferred  revenues in  the  June 30,  1995  balance sheet.    The
remaining $11.5 million will affect only the balance sheet upon a
favorable  resolution,  and  is  recorded  as  deposits  in   the
accompanying balance sheet.

     The contingency should be resolved by year-end 1995.  Upon a
favorable   resolution  of   the   contingency,  the   cumulative
unrecorded effects of the transaction will be recorded,  starting
from the January  1, 1995 effective date.  Also,  Devon will have
either consumed,  or otherwise will  no longer have  available, a
substantial  portion  of the  income  tax  benefits it  currently
possesses.  If the  resolution is unfavorable, Devon  will return
the cash  received, thereby liquidating the  liabilities, and its
results of operations will not be affected.

     Though  the $17.9  million which  has been  received through
June  30,  1995,  is  refundable pending  the  resolution  of the
contingency,  Devon's  use  of  the  funds  is  not   restricted.
However, to secure the possible repayment of the cash it receives
under  the terms  of  the transaction,  Devon  has established  a
letter of credit  in favor of the  other entity which expires  no
later than December 29, 1995.  The amount of the letter of credit
increases throughout  1995, to  a maximum of  $20 million,  based
upon the  expected timing of Devon's  cash receipts.   As of June
30,  1995, the  letter  of  credit  was  $18  million.    Devon's
available borrowings under its credit lines are restricted by the
amount of the letter of credit.

     Assuming that the transaction  had been effective as  of the
beginning  of each period presented below, and was not subject to
the contingency,  Devon's pro  forma results for  the six  months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

4.             Interest Rate Swap Agreement

               Devon  entered   into   an  interest   rate   swap
agreement in June,  1995, to  hedge the impact  of interest  rate
changes on a portion of its long-term debt.  The principal amount
of the  swap agreement is $75 million, and the other party to the
agreement  is one  of the  lenders of  Devon's credit  lines (the
"Lender").  The agreement terminates on June 16, 1998, unless the
Lender exercises its right to extend the termination date to June
16,  2000.   The  terms of  the  agreement provide  for quarterly
payments either to or from Devon, determined by whether the three
month  London Interbank Offered  Rate ("LIBOR") in  effect at the
beginning of each quarterly calculation period is greater or less
than 5.6%.  The calculation periods begin on the sixteenth day of
March,  June, September  and December.   If,  on the date  of the
beginning of the  quarterly calculation period,  the three  month
LIBOR  exceeds 5.6%,  the  Lender will  owe  Devon the  quarterly
amount of the excess  rate applied to the $75  million principal.
Alternately, if the three month LIBOR on the applicable quarterly
date is less than 5.6%, Devon will owe the Lender.

               The  swap agreement  is accounted for  as a hedge,
with the amount which is either  due to or from Devon recorded as
a reduction or  increase in  interest expense.   The three  month
LIBOR as of the first quarterly calculation period which began on
June  16, 1995,  was 6.0%.   Accordingly,  the Lender  owes Devon
$76,667, which is  payable under  the terms of  the agreement  on
September  16, 1995.  Devon has recognized $12,500 of this amount
as  a reduction of interest  expense in the  second quarter, with
the remainder deferred until the third quarter.

               The  swap agreement  does not alter  or affect any
terms or conditions of Devon's lines of credit.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis  of Financial
               Condition and Results of Operations.

               The   following  discussion   addresses   material
changes in results  of operations  for the three  months and  six
months ended June 30, 1995, compared to  the three months and six
months ended  June 30,  1994,  and in  financial condition  since
December 31, 1994.  It is presumed that readers have read or have
access to Devon's 1994 annual report on Form 10-K.

                    The   1994  annual   report   on  Form   10-K
contained various forward-looking information for the  year 1995.
Where  necessary,  that  information  has  been  revised  in  the
following discussion.   The forward-looking  information provided
herein  is  based  on   management's  examination  of  historical
operating  trends,  the  December  31,  1994  reserve  report  of
LaRoche, Swindell & Associates,  data in Devon's files and  other
data  available   from  third   parties.    The   forward-looking
information in  this  discussion was  prepared  assuming  demand,
curtailment,  producibility  and  general market  conditions  for
Devon's  oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGL") for the
second  half of 1995 will  be substantially similar  to those for
the first half of the year, unless otherwise noted.  No assurance
as to the  ultimate accuracy of  the forward-looking  information
can be given.

Overview

               Devon's  combined  oil, gas  and  NGLs  production
increased 9% and  7%, respectively, for the quarter  and year-to-
date periods ended June 30, 1995.  However, net earnings declined
significantly for  both periods.   These  results were  driven by
several factors:

                    Devon's  May 1994  merger  with Alta  coupled
                    with   the   company's   extensive   drilling
                    efforts  in  the  Grayburg-Jackson Field  and
                    the   Sand   Dunes   Area,   increased    oil
                    production by 46% in  the second quarter  and
                    34% year-to-date.

                    Natural  gas prices were sharply lower in the
                    1995 periods, offsetting  the gains in  total
                    production  of   oil,  gas  and  NGLs.    The
                    average  price  Devon  received  for its  gas
                    production  fell  32% in  the  second quarter
                    and 37% for the year-to-date period.

                    The  Merger  with Alta  boosted depreciation,
                    depletion and  amortization expense and  to a
                    lesser  extent  operating  costs  during  the
                    1995 periods.

                    Interest   expense  increased   in  both  the
                    quarter  and year-to-date  periods ended June
                    30,  1995.   Higher  interest rates  were the
                    primary cause for the expense increase in
                    both periods.

                    In early 1995, Devon  and an unrelated  party
                    entered   into   a    transaction   involving
                    substantially  all of Devon's  San Juan Basin
                    properties.    Because  the  transaction   is
                    subject    to    a     material    unresolved
                    contingency, Devon  is deferring  recognition
                    of the  operating statement impact.  However,
                    Devon  benefitted  from  the   use  of  $17.9

                                      12
<PAGE>

                    million of  cash received  in 1995  under the
                    terms of the  agreement.  See note  3 to  the
                    consolidated financial statements in Part  1,
                    Item  1   of   this  report,   and   "Capital
                    Expenditures,    Capital    Resources     and
                    Liquidity - Capital Resources and  Liquidity"
                    in this section of the report.

               The   positive   benefits  derived   from  Devon's
acquisition  and drilling efforts were muted by sharply lower gas
prices in  the quarter and year-to-date  periods.  Unfortunately,
Devon can  only marginally influence  the prices it  receives for
oil, natural gas and NGLs.

Results of Operations

               Combined  oil, gas  and NGL  revenues increased by
2% for  the second quarter of  1995, and decreased by  4% for the
first half of 1995.  The relative contributions of production and
price changes are shown below.

            Gas Revenues.   Gas revenues declined  by $5.1 million,
or  35%, in  the second  quarter of  1995, primarily  because the
average  price  dropped by  $0.48 per  Mcf, or  32%.   This price
decline  accounted for  $4.5  million  of  the reduction  in  gas
revenues  in the 1995 quarter.   Also, declines  in production of
0.4 Bcf, or 4%, caused a $0.6 million drop in gas revenues.

                            14
<PAGE>

          Coal  seam gas  averaged  $0.70 per  Mcf in  the second
quarter of  1995,  or 41%  lower  than the  $1.18 per  Mcf  price
received  in  1994's second  quarter.    The  average  price  for
conventional  gas  production  was  $1.47 per  Mcf  in  the  1995
quarter, a 19% reduction from the $1.82 per Mcf price realized in
the 1994  quarter.   The  price per  Mcf for  coal  seam gas  has
historically been  less than Devon's conventional  gas (i.e., gas
produced from other than coal formations) due to the former's low
Btu content and the  costs of transportation and  removing carbon
dioxide.   These  adjustments  have been  taken  into account  in
calculating the coal seam gas prices referred to above.

          Coal seam gas production increased  from 5.0 Bcf in the
second quarter  of 1994 to 5.5 Bcf in the second quarter of 1995.
Coal  seam gas  production  in the  second  quarter of  1994  was
limited by  Devon's decision to  sell approximately 0.7  Bcf less
than its full share of Northeast Blanco Unit ("NEBU") production.
Conventional  gas  production  in  the  second  quarter  of  1995
benefited  from  a  complete  quarter  of  production  from   the
properties  acquired   in  the  May  1994   Merger  (the  "Merger
Properties").  The  Merger Properties'  gas production  increased
0.1 Bcf  in the 1995 quarter.  This was offset, however, by a 0.1
Bcf reduction due to properties which were sold subsequent to the
second quarter of 1994, and a 0.9 Bcf net reduction  in all other
conventional production.

          Gas revenues declined by $12.7 million,  or 39%, in the
first  half of 1995, primarily because  the average price dropped
by $0.59 per Mcf, or 37%.  This price decline accounted for $11.5
million of  the drop in gas  revenues in the first  half of 1995.
Also,  declines in production  of 0.7 Bcf,  or 4%, caused  a $1.2
million drop in gas revenues.

          Coal  seam gas averaged $0.73 per Mcf in the first half
of 1995,  or 46% lower than  the $1.34 per Mcf  price received in
1994's  first six months.  The average price for conventional gas
production was $1.40  per Mcf in the first six  months of 1995, a
27% reduction from  the $1.91  per Mcf price  realized in  1994's
comparable period.

          Coal seam gas production increased  by 4% in the  first
half  of 1995, from 11.0 Bcf produced  in the 1994 period to 11.4
Bcf  produced in  the 1995  period.  Conventional  gas production
decreased from 9.1 Bcf  in the first half  of 1994 to 8.0  Bcf in
the first  half of 1995.   The Merger Properties accounted  for a
0.3  Bcf increase in  production.  However, this  was offset by a
0.3  Bcf reduction due to property sales subsequent to June 1994,
and a 1.1 Bcf net reduction in all other conventional production.

          1995 Revised  Estimates.  The original  estimate in the
1994 10-K for  1995 gas production was between 37  Bcf and 43 Bcf
in total,  which consisted of between  20 Bcf and 24  Bcf of coal
seam gas production and between 17 Bcf and 19 Bcf of conventional
gas  production.  Primarily due to the decision to delay drilling
projects  related  to  proved  undeveloped  gas  properties,  the
estimate for 1995 conventional gas production has been revised to
between  15 Bcf  and  17  Bcf, and  the  estimate  for total  gas
production has  been revised to between  35 Bcf and 41  Bcf.  The
original estimate for coal seam production has not changed.

                              15
<PAGE>

          It was originally estimated in the 1994  10-K that coal
seam  gas prices  in  1995, after  the  effects of  BTU  content,
transportation and carbon dioxide removal, would be between $0.45
to  $0.50 per  Mcf  less  than  Texas  Gulf  Coast  ("TGC")  spot
averages.    In  the first  half  of 1995,  mild  weather  and an
unusually  large supply of hydroelectric power  in the West Coast
area of the U.S. (generated from large amounts of snowfall in the
winter and spring months  of 1995) lowered natural gas  demand in
that area,  which is  where a  majority of the  coal seam  gas is
marketed.  As a result, coal seam gas averaged $0.75 per Mcf less
than the TGC average for the first  six months of 1995.  While it
is obviously difficult to accurately predict such weather related
market effects, Devon  does not consider these  changes in market
conditions  to be permanent.   It is, however,  expected that the
West Coast gas market will continue to be weaker  than usual into
the fourth  quarter of 1995.  Based on this, it is estimated that
coal seam  gas for the year 1995 should average between $0.65 and
$0.75 less than the TGC spot average.

          Oil Revenues.  Oil revenues increased by 57% from  $9.2
million in the  second quarter of  1994 to $14.4  million in  the
second  quarter of 1995.  Production gains of 257,000 barrels, or
46%,  added $4.2  million of  oil revenues  in the  1995 quarter.
Also, the average oil price increased by $1.27 per barrel, or 8%,
in the 1995 quarter, which added $1.0 million to the period's oil
revenues.

          The primary contributor to the increased oil production
was  the added production from the Merger Properties.  The Merger
Properties  only  contributed  production for  approximately  one
month  in  the 1994  quarter.    More importantly,  however,  oil
production from these properties has increased steadily since the
Merger.   As  a  result, the  Merger Properties  produced 200,000
barrels in the second quarter of 1995, compared to 38,000 barrels
produced  in the  second  quarter of  1994.   Devon's  other  oil
properties also  increased from  527,000  barrels in  the  second
quarter of 1994 to 623,000 barrels in the second quarter of 1995.
This 18% increase was  caused by production from new  wells which
were   completed  in   1995,  and   additional   production  from
recompletions and workovers.

          Oil revenues increased by 59% from $16.5 million in the
first half  of 1994 to $26.4  million in the first  half of 1995.
Production gains of  395,000 barrels, or 34%, added  $5.7 million
of oil revenues in the 1995 period.  Also, the  average oil price
increased by $2.68 per barrel, or  19%, in the 1995 period, which
added $4.2 million of oil revenues compared to the 1994 period.

          As discussed  above, the Merger  Properties contributed
only  one month  of oil  production in  the  first half  of 1994,
compared to a full six months of production in the  first half of
1995.   The  Merger  Properties produced  339,000 barrels  in the
first  six months of 1995,  compared to the  38,000 barrels which
they  produced for  the  month of  June  1994.   Production  from
Devon's other oil properties increased  94,000 barrels, or 8%, in
the first  half of 1995 due to the increase in the second quarter
discussed above.

          1995 Revised Estimate.  It was originally estimated  in
the 1994 10-K that Devon's net oil price for the  year 1995 would
average  between $0.25  and $0.50  below West  Texas Intermediate
("WTI") posted prices.   Through  the first six  months of  1995,
Devon's net oil price  averaged only $0.11 below the  average WTI
price.    The increase  in Devon's  net  price was  primarily the
result of successful renegotiations of crude contracts.   Devon's
position in  these renegotiations benefited from  a higher demand
for  sour  crude, which  is the  primary  type produced  from the
properties  Devon  acquired  in  1994,  and  the  aggregation  of
supplies from  various properties for marketing  purposes.  Devon
now estimates  that its net  oil price for  the year  1995 should
average between $0.05 and $0.15 less than WTI posted prices.  The
original estimate for 1995  oil production of between 3.0  to 3.5
million barrels has not changed.

          NGL Revenues.  NGL revenues increased by 20% from  $1.2
million  in the  second quarter of  1994 to  $1.4 million  in the
second  quarter of 1995.  Production increased in the 1995 period
by 16,000 Boe,  or 14%, which added $0.1 million to NGL revenues.
The  Merger  Properties  accounted  for  all  of  the  production
increase.  Also, the average price increased by $0.58 per Boe, or
6%, in the 1995 quarter.  This price increase  added $0.1 million
to NGL revenues in the 1995 period.

          NGL revenues increased by 48% from $2.1 million in  the
first half  of 1994 to  $3.0 million in  the first half  of 1995.
Production increased in 1995  by 47,000 Boe, or 21%,  which added
$0.4 million to  NGL revenues.   The Merger Properties  accounted
for 30,000 Boe  of the  production increase.   Also, the  average
price increased by $2.03 per Boe, or 22%, in the first six months
of 1995.  This price increase  added $0.5 million to NGL revenues
in the first half of 1995.

          Production  and  Operating  Expenses.    Components  of
production and operating expenses in the second quarter and first
half of 1995 increased  or decreased compared to 1994 as shown in

</TABLE>
               Recurring  operations  and   maintenance  expenses
increased in both the second quarter and  year-to-date periods in
1995, primarily due  to the additional  expenses incurred on  the
Merger  Properties acquired in the  second quarter of  1994.  The
Merger Properties accounted  for $0.4 million of  the increase in
the second quarter's recurring expenses, and  $1.1 million of the
increase  in  the year-to-date  period.    Recurring expenses  on
Devon's other properties were constant between the second quarter
of 1995  and 1994, and decreased  by $0.2 million, or  3%, in the
first half of 1995.

                                  17
<PAGE>

               The Merger  Properties are primarily oil producing
properties, which  are traditionally  more  expensive to  operate
than gas producing properties.   The per unit rate of the  Merger
Properties' recurring expenses  in the second  quarter and  first
six months  of  1995  was $0.46  per  EMcf and  $0.52  per  EMcf,
respectively.   These compare  to respective rates  of $0.36  per
EMcf and $0.35  per EMcf for the recurring expenses  of all other
properties owned by Devon.

               Well  workover  expenses increased  by substantial
margins in  both the second quarter  and the first  half of 1995.
This is a trend that  should also continue in the second  half of
1995.  The expenses incurred in the first half of 1995 related to
projects to increase  production from  certain wells  as well  as
routine repairs.

               1995  Revised  Estimates.     It  was   originally
estimated that approximately $5  to $6 million would be  spent in
1995 for well workovers, and that total  production and operating
expenses  would total  between $35  and $41  million.   Devon now
estimates that its workover expenses for the year will be between
$4  and  $5  million,  and its  total  production  and  operating
expenses will be between $33 and $39 million.

               Depreciation, Depletion and  Amortization Expenses
("DD&A").    Oil and  gas  property related  DD&A  increased $1.4
million,  or 18%, from $7.9 million in the second quarter of 1994
to $9.3 million  in the same quarter of 1995.  Approximately half
of the  increase was caused by  an increase in the  DD&A rate per
EMcf.  The DD&A rate in 1994's second quarter was $0.57 per EMcf,
compared to  1995's second quarter  rate of $0.61 per  EMcf.  The
inclusion  of the Merger Properties  for a full  quarter in 1995,
compared  to only one month in  1994, accounted for substantially
all  of  the DD&A  rate increase.   The  other  half of  the DD&A
increase was caused by the 9% increase in total production.

               Oil  and  gas property  related DD&A  increased by
$2.7 million,  or 17%, from  $15.7 million in  the first half  of
1994  to $18.4 million in the first half  of 1995.  The DD&A rate
increased from  $0.56 per EMcf  in the  1994 period to  $0.61 per
EMcf in the  1995 period, primarily due  to the inclusion of  the
Merger Properties as discussed above.  This rate  increase caused
approximately 60% of the DD&A increase, with the other 40% caused
by the 7% increase in total production.

               General and Administrative Expenses ("G&A").   G&A
decreased  $0.2 million,  or 8%,  in the  second quarter  of 1995
compared to the same period of  1994.  The primary reason for the
decrease  was a change in  the method used  to calculate overhead
reimbursements  on certain  properties operated  by Devon.   This
change, which was retroactive to the prior two years, reduced G&A
by approximately $0.2 million in the quarter.

               G&A increased $0.1  million, or 3%, for  the first
half of  1995 compared  to the  same period of  1994.   Personnel
expenses,  including  salary,  pension  and  insurance  expenses,
increased $0.5  million, or 13%,  in the  1995 period.   Of these
components, salaries were up  6%, pension expense was up  61% and
insurance expense was  up 18%.   These increases  were offset  by
higher overhead  reimbursements.  In addition  to the retroactive
$0.2  million  benefit  referred  to  in  the  above   paragraph,
recurring overhead reimbursements for the first half of 1995 were
also up by $0.3 million, primarily due to the increased number of
wells which Devon now operates.

                              18
<PAGE>
               Interest  Expense.    Interest  expense  increased
$0.4  million, or  33%,  in  the  second  quarter  of  1995,  due
exclusively to higher rates.  The annualized interest rate on the
debt outstanding during 1995's second quarter was 6.7%,  compared
to 4.9% during the second  quarter of 1994.  The overall  average
interest rate (including the  effect of various fees paid  to the
banks  and the  amortization of  certain  loan costs)  during the
second  quarter of  1995 was  7.4%, compared  to 5.5%  during the
second quarter  of 1994.   The  average debt  balance outstanding
during  the second quarter of 1995 was $93.9 million, or slightly
lower  than  1994's  second  quarter  average  balance  of  $95.3
million.

               Interest expense increased  $1.2 million, or  53%,
in the  first six months of  1995.  Higher interest  rates caused
$1.0  million of the  increase.  The annualized  rate on the debt
outstanding during the first  half of 1995 was 6.8%,  compared to
4.6%  during the first six  months of 1994.   The overall average
interest rate during the first half of 1995 was 7.5%, compared to
5.3% during the same period in 1994.  An increase  in the average
debt balance caused interest  expense to rise by $0.2  million in
the first  half of 1995.   The average balance  increased 7% from
$87.9  million in the first half of  1994 to $94.3 million in the
first half  of 1995.   The  increase in the  average balance  was
primarily caused by the timing of borrowings to fund a portion of
the Merger in the second quarter of 1994.

               Devon  entered   into   an  interest   rate   swap
agreement in June,  1995, to  hedge the impact  of interest  rate
changes on a portion of its long-term debt.  The principal amount
of the  swap agreement is $75 million, and the other party to the
agreement  is one  of the  lenders of  Devon's credit  lines (the
"Lender").  The agreement terminates on June 16, 1998, unless the
Lender exercises its right to extend the termination date to June
16,  2000.   The  terms of  the  agreement provide  for quarterly
payments either to or from Devon, determined by whether the three
month  London Interbank Offered  Rate ("LIBOR") in  effect at the
beginning of each quarterly calculation period is greater or less
than 5.6%.  The calculation periods begin on the sixteenth day of
March,  June, September  and December.   If, on  the date  of the
beginning of the  quarterly calculation period,  the three  month
LIBOR  exceeds 5.6%,  the  Lender will  owe  Devon the  quarterly
amount of the excess  rate applied to the $75  million principal.
Alternately, if the three month LIBOR on the applicable quarterly
date is less than 5.6%, Devon will owe the Lender.

               The  swap agreement is  accounted for  as a hedge,
with the amount which is either  due to or from Devon recorded as
a reduction or  increase in  interest expense.   The three  month
LIBOR as of the first quarterly calculation period which began on
June  16, 1995,  was 6.0%.   Accordingly,  the Lender  owes Devon
$76,667, which is  payable under  the terms of  the agreement  on
September  16, 1995.  Devon has recognized $12,500 of this amount
as  a reduction of interest  expense in the  second quarter, with
the remainder deferred until the third quarter.

               The  swap agreement does  not alter  or affect any
terms or conditions of Devon's lines of credit.

               1995  Revised   Estimate.     It  was   originally
estimated in the  1994 10-K  that interest expense  for the  year
1995  would be between $7 and $9 million, excluding the effect of
the  contingent transaction  discussed in  "Capital Expenditures,
Capital   Resources  and  Liquidity   -  Capital   Resources  and
Liquidity"   in  this   report.     Pending  resolution   of  the
contingency,  Devon is able to utilize the cash which is received
pursuant  to the transaction to reduce debt.  Also, Devon expects
its  average  interest  rate  for  the  year  to  be  lower  than
originally estimated, and the postponement of certain gas related
drilling  has lowered  the  estimate of  the year's  average debt
outstanding.  All of these factors more than offset the effect of
lower gas  prices on the amount of  cash flow which was estimated
at the beginning  of the  year to be  applied toward  outstanding
debt.   As a  result, interest expense  for the year  1995 is now
estimated to be between $6.5 and $7.5 million.

               Income Taxes.   During interim periods, income tax
expense is based  on the  estimated effective tax  rate which  is
expected for the entire fiscal year.  The estimated effective tax
rate  in  the second  quarter and  first  half of  1995  was 41%,
compared to approximately  34% in the same periods of  1994.  The
increase  in the 1995  rates is  primarily due  to the  effect of
certain financial deductions for DD&A  which are not allowed  for
income tax  purposes due to  the tax free  nature of the  Merger.
Also,  although the  estimated  1994  income  tax  rate  used  in
preparing the second quarter and  first half of 1994 consolidated
financial statements was  34%, the  rate for the  entire year  of
1994 was  actually  36%.    The effect  of  this  change  in  the
estimated income tax rate  was recorded in the fourth  quarter of
1994.

               Statement  of  Financial Accounting  Standards No.
109, "Accounting  for Income  Taxes" ("Statement  109"), requires
that the tax benefit  of available tax carryforwards be  recorded
as  an  asset   to  the  extent  that   management  assesses  the
utilization of such carryforwards  to be "more likely  than not".
When the future utilization of some portion of  the carryforwards
is determined not  to be  "more likely than  not", Statement  109
requires that  a valuation  allowance be  provided to reduce  the
recorded tax benefits from such assets.

               Approximately   $13.1  million   of  deferred  tax
assets were included in the net deferred tax liability as of June
30, 1995.   Over 90% of  such assets related to  the tax benefits
expected from  the  future  utilization  of  net  operating  loss
carryforwards, statutory depletion carryforwards,  investment tax
credit carryforwards and  minimum tax credit  carryforwards.   To
assess  the likelihood of realizing  tax benefits from the future
utilization  of these  carryforwards, management  considered four
primary factors:  (1) estimates  of future yearly taxable  income
which  Devon is  expected to  generate; (2)  the level  of future
taxable income necessary  to utilize the  carryforwards; (3)  the
expiration dates, if any, of  such carryforwards, and (4) certain
limitations on the annual utilization of the carryforwards as set
forth by federal tax regulations.

               Based upon  current estimates of future production
and average  prices,  management  believes  that  taxable  income
during  the carryforward  periods will  be sufficient  to utilize
substantially all of the carryforwards currently available.   The
tax benefit  from net  operating loss  and investment  tax credit
carryforwards,  which  totals  approximately  $6.9   million,  is
expected to  be realized between  1995 and  2002.   This is  well
before  the  2006  expiration  date  for  the  majority  of  such
benefits.   The remaining  $6.2 million  of tax  benefits consist
primarily  of  statutory   depletion  and   minimum  tax   credit
carryforwards.  These carryforwards do not have expiration dates,
and are therefore available  to reduce taxes in any  future year.
However,  based upon  limitations imposed  on the  utilization of
certain of the depletion carryforwards  acquired in the Merger, a
$100,000 valuation  allowance  was recorded  at the  time of  the
Merger.   No  changes in this  valuation allowance  have occurred
through June 30, 1995.

               Management's assessment of the future  utilization
of Devon's deferred tax assets is based upon current estimates of
taxable income to be  generated in 1995 and beyond.   Significant
changes in such estimates  from variables such as future  oil and
gas  prices or capital expenditures could alter the timing of the
eventual utilization of such  assets.  There can be  no assurance
that Devon will generate any specific level of continuing taxable
earnings.

Capital Expenditures, Capital Resources and Liquidity

               The following discussion of capital  expenditures,
capital  resources and  liquidity should  be read  in conjunction
with the consolidated  statements of cash flows  included in Part
1, Item I herein.

               Capital  Expenditures.    Cash  used  for  capital
expenditures increased 160% from $12.9  million in the first half
of  1994  to   $33.4  million   in  the  first   half  of   1995.
Approximately $32.2 million was spent in 1995 on  exploration and
development efforts, compared to $12.2 million spent in the first
half  of 1994 for such  efforts.  Approximately  $16.0 million of
1995's total expenditures related to the drilling and development
of the Grayburg-Jackson Field which was acquired in the Merger.

               1995 Revised Estimate.  In  the 1994 10-K, it  was
estimated that 1995 capital expenditures would total between  $75
and  $80  million.   However, a  number  of drilling  projects on
proved undeveloped natural gas properties which were planned  for
1995 have been postponed until  later in 1995 or 1996 due  to low
gas prices.  It  is now estimated that 1995  capital expenditures
will be between $62 and $68 million.

               Cash   Used  in   the  Merger   with  Alta  Energy
Corporation.  The Merger was consummated in the second quarter of
1994.    Through June  30, 1994,  Devon  incurred costs  of $42.2
million related to  the Merger.   Devon also incurred  subsequent
Merger-related costs in the second half of 1994  and in the first
quarter of 1995.   Approximately  $0.2 million  of various  costs
were  incurred in  the second half  of 1994.   In  February 1995,
Devon  paid  an  additional  $2.4  million  to  the  former  Alta
stockholders.   This  payment,  in  accordance  with  the  Merger
agreement, was based upon  the evaluation of a well  completed by
Alta during the first half of 1994.

                              21
<PAGE>
               Capital  Resources   and  Liquidity.     Net  cash
provided by operating activities continued to be a primary source
of capital and  liquidity in the  first half of  1995.  Net  cash
provided by  operating activities  increased  by 23%  from  $22.4
million in the first six  months of 1994 to $27.6 million  in the
first half of 1995.

               Included in 1995's net cash  provided by operating
activities was $6.4  million received pursuant  to a  transaction
entered into in early 1995 between Devon and an unrelated entity.
The transaction, which  covers substantially all  of Devon's  San
Juan  Basin  gas properties,  could have  a significant  and very
positive financial impact on Devon.  However, the  transaction is
subject   to   a   material   unresolved   contingency   and    a
confidentiality agreement.   Until  the contingency  is resolved,
Devon  is deferring  the recognition  of the  operating statement
impact from the transaction. 

               In  addition  to  the  $6.4  million  recorded  as
operating cash flow, Devon has  also received $11.5 million which
will  affect  only  the  balance  sheet  if  the  contingency  is
favorably  resolved.  Since the entire  $17.9 million received to
date  is refundable, these  funds are recorded  as liabilities in
the  accompanying  June  30,  1995  consolidated  balance  sheet,
pending the resolution of the contingency.  

               The  contingency  should be  resolved  by year-end
1995.    Upon  a favorable  resolution  of  the  contingency, the
cumulative  unrecorded   effects  of  the  transaction   will  be
recorded,  starting  from the  January  1,  1995 effective  date.
Also,  Devon will  have  either consumed,  or  otherwise will  no
longer  have available, a  substantial portion of  the income tax
benefits  it  currently   possesses.    If   the  resolution   is
unfavorable,  Devon  will  return   the  cash  received,  thereby
liquidating the liability, and its results of operations will not
be affected.

               If  the  contingency  is  resolved favorably,  the
transaction  could  have a  significant  effect  on Devon's  1995
results of  operations and liquidity.   Devon estimates  that the
transaction could add between $6.5 million to $7.5 million to its
net  earnings for the year 1995, an  impact of $0.29 to $0.34 per
common  share.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the
year 1995 could also be boosted by $5.5 million  to $6.5 million,
of which a  net $4.1 million  was received in  the first half  of
1995.   (This  figure  consists  of  the  $6.4  million  received
pursuant to the transaction,  less $2.3 million paid to  date for
related income taxes due.)

               Though the  $17.9 million which has  been received
through June  30, 1995, is  refundable pending the  resolution of
the  contingency, Devon's  use of  the  funds is  not restricted.
However, to secure the possible repayment of the cash it receives
under  the terms  of  the transaction,  Devon  has established  a
letter of credit  in favor of the  other entity which expires  no
later than December 29, 1995.  The amount of the letter of credit
increases  throughout 1995,  to a  maximum of $20  million, based
upon the  expected timing of Devon's  cash receipts.   As of June
30,  1995, the  letter  of  credit  was  $18  million.    Devon's
available borrowings under  its credits lines  are restricted  by
the amount of the letter of credit.

                              22
<PAGE>
               After deducting  the $18 million  letter of credit
restriction, Devon had $92 million of borrowings available  under
its  credit lines  at  June 30,  1995.   Currently,  the  capital
resources available from  operating activities  and credit  lines
are   more  than   adequate  to   cover  Devon's   known  capital
requirements.
