Richels said Devon expects to reduce its capital expenditure budget in 2013 as the company focuses on its oil drilling program rather than capturing leasehold.

“We believe the long-term growth potential of Devon's oil projects, both light sweet crude in the U.S. and heavy oil in Canada, married with an option on natural gas provided by our world-class gas resource plays, differentiates us from the other companies in our sector,” he said during Wednesday's conference call with analysts.
