Analyst Suggests Devon Energy May Sell Marcellus Assets in Susquehanna County
What happened
After Devon Energy sold its Eagle Ford assets for $4.2 billion, an energy analyst suggested that the Marcellus assets could be next for sale. The analyst specifically named the old Cabot/Coterra Marcellus position in Susquehanna County as one of two likely assets to be divested. This potential deal was floated before or around Devon Energy's November 5 earnings release.
Why it matters
The suggestion of divesting the Marcellus assets relates to Devon Energy's ongoing asset sales strategy. The analyst also upgraded Devon Energy's stock to 'Strong Buy' on October 16, providing new details on the size of Devon Energy's Marcellus business.
