How Devon Energy missed out on the US oil and gas mega-deal wave
U.S. oil and gas producer Devon Energy has lost bids to acquire at least three of its peers in the last 12 months because its shares were spurned as acquisition currency, according to people familiar with the negotiations. Devon missed out on the sector's dealmaking boom by losing to ConocoPhillips the $22 billion deal to acquire Marathon Oil, failing to beat Occidental Petroleum's $12 billion bid for CrownRock, and unsuccessfully courting Enerplus before it was sold to Chord Energy for $3.8 billion, the sources with knowledge of the matter said. Like its peers, Devon has turned to dealmaking to gain scale as it drills more of its existing acreage.
