Devon sees output rising 13% per year



By Upstream staff 

US independent Devon Energy said it has the potential to grow its production by an average 13% a year through 2011, based on commodity futures prices for oil and gas.

Speaking on a conference call with analysts last week, senior vice president Steve Hadden said the company has unrisked resources of 24.1 billion barrels of oil equivalent, including its proved reserves of 2.5 billion boe.

The company has additional risked resources of 10.77 billion boe.

Hadden also said that the company has the potential to as much as double its production in its key Barnett Shale region in North Texas as early as this decade, Reuters reported.

Devon expects to produce 1 billion cubic feet equivalent per day of gas in the region during the second quarter.

The company said it has the potential to boost its production to between 1.6 billion to 2 billion cubic feet equivalent per day.

Devon has 4.3 trillion cubic feet equivalent of proved reserves in the Barnett Shale. It said it has an additional 25 trillion cubic feet equivalent of probable and possible resources, as well as additional contingent resources in the region.
