U.S. shale producers Devon and Coterra to merge in a $58 billion deal

  • Devon Energy and Coterra Energy said on Monday they will merge in an all-stock deal valued at $58 billion, creating a large-cap producer with a dominant position in the Delaware Basin.
  • Cost pressures and inventory priorities prompted Devon and Coterra to combine complementary acreage, aiming to cut costs, boost free cash flow, and achieve $1 billion in annual pre-tax synergies.
  • Operationally, the combined company would exceed pro-forma third quarter 2025 production of 1.6 million Boe/day, operate across Permian, Anadarko, Eagle Ford, Marcellus, and Rockies, and hold the largest Delaware inventory with a breakeven below $40 per barrel.
  • The boards approved the deal expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, with Devon shares down 3%, Coterra shares down 2.7%, and Clay Gaspar, Devon CEO, leading the combined company.
  • The deal ranks as the largest U.S. shale tie-up since Diamondback’s about $26 billion acquisition in 2024, with Devon Energy headquartered in Houston and Coterra shareholders receiving 0.70 share exchange ratio.
