The move is part of Devon’s ­recently announced strategy to sell its assets in the Gulf of ­Mexico, Brazil, China and Azerbaijan to reposition itself as a high-growth North American onshore ­company.

Devon holds interests in 10 offshore and two onshore blocks in Brazil, including seven as an ­operator. The licences are spread through the Campos, Barreirinhas, Camamu-Almada and Parnaiba basins.
