By Stephen Whitfield, Associate Editor Clay Gaspar, Devon Energy Executive VP and CEO, outlined the company's commitment to a maintenance capital spending program this year during the 2021 IADC Drilling Onshore Conference on 20 May. Devon Energy 's merger with WPX Energy, which was finalized in January, created one of the largest unconventional oil producers in the US. The combined company now boasts approximately 277,000 bbl/day of oil production and holds 400,000 net acres in the Delaware Basin. However, despite that strong position, Devon is not expecting to chase after much production growth in the immediate future, opting instead to focus on generating free cash flow. Speaking at the virtually held 2021 IADC Drilling Onshore Conference on 20 May, Clay Gaspar, Executive VP and COO of Devon, said the company is committed to maintenance CAPEX in 2021.
