Natural Gas STAR

Devon is a partner in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Natural Gas STAR Program, a voluntary effort between the federal agency and industry to reduce methane emissions. Methane is the primary component of natural gas and a “greenhouse gas” considered to contribute to global warming. By using cost effective technologies and practices, partners in the program have been successful in reducing methane emissions by nearly 471 billion cubic feet since 1993.

Canadian Emission Reduction Program

Emission reduction is a key to Devon's stewardship commitment. In Canada, we are taking a proactive approach to emission reduction that reaches beyond government mandates.

Rigs-to-Reefs

The massive steel structures that serve as production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico sometimes live dual lives. Once oil and gas reserves are depleted these facilities can be dismantled and distributed across the sea floor to become ecological assets for marine life.

Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary

The banks, established as a national marine sanctuary in 1992, have become a model in the Gulf of Mexico for how the energy industry and the environment can not only coexist, but thrive.

Mesquite Bay

The Mesquite Bay project is part of an ongoing effort to preserve the world's only remaining wild flock of endangered whooping cranes, which migrates between northwest Canada and south Texas each year.

House Creek

As part of a Devon initiative which uses water from coalbed natural gas production to enhance the environment, lakes and ponds have become centers of activity for cattle and sheep, as well as antelope, mule deer and birds ranging from raptors to water fowl.

Sundown Island

For the past three years, employees from the Houston office and their family members have volunteered to help in the cleanup efforts of the Sundown Island Bird Sanctuary.
