OKLAHOMA CITY—Devon Energy Corp. aims to use its Anadarko Basin position to fuel a robust cash return model and establish the company as an industry leader in promoting ESG.
“The Anadarko Basin is making a comeback,” said Aaron Ketter, a vice president at Devon Energy, during a keynote address at Hart Energy’s DUG Midcontinent conference and exhibition on March 2.

We're very excited about the Anadarko Basin. While others are getting reacquainted with this basin, we’ve been here, and we plan to continue to be here, and we plan to follow through on the 300,000 net acres that we have in this basin.”
