Thursday, May 23, 3:56 PM Devon Energy (DVN -1.4%) is downgraded to Neutral from Overweight at J.P. Morgan.

Thursday, May 16, 3:45 PM Oil production from Ohio's Utica shale was lower in 2012 than first anticipated but will be "incidental" to gas output in much of the play, Ohio regulators say. Oil production averaged 1,742 bbl/day, while gas totaled 35M cf/day. Chesapeake (CHK) was by far the largest producer, with total 2012 output of 10B cf of gas, followed by Hess (HES) and Gulfport (GPOR); Devon Energy (DVN) produced no gas from its five wells. 1 Comment [Energy]
Thursday, May 9, 11:30 AM The shale bonanza has sparked a switch in the behavior of oil firms: Companies have been selling off assets overseas and pumping money back into the U.S. Conoco (COP) has been involved in six major foreign sales in the past year totaling $11B, and much of it is being redirected into North Dakota and Texas shale. Other firms redirecting overseas assets to the U.S.: HES, DVN, APA, MRO, MUR, NBL. 3 Comments [Energy]
Friday, May 3, 12:24 PM "Oil's well" with these energy stocks - BTE, APC, DVN, NTI, LINE/LNCO - which Corvette Kid says could average 40%-plus total return in 12-18 months. Of Baytex, shares can push $60 if production growth hits forecast targets and heavy oil prices continue to recover. Devon management has all but indicated a sale is on the table, which could bring 60% upside. 5 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]

Wednesday, May 1, 8:53 AM More on Devon's (DVN) Q1 results: Overall loss of $1.3B was mainly due to a $1.9B non-cash impairment charge related to lower oil and gas liquids prices in North America.

Total average production fell to 686.9K boe/day from 693.6K, which was still slightly above the top end of company guidance. 2 Comments [Energy, Earnings]
