# Devon Energy Industry Context

## How Does DEVON ENERGY CORP/DE Sit in Its SEC Industry Classification?

DEVON ENERGY CORP/DE files under SEC standard industrial classification 1311, Crude Petroleum & Natural Gas. Among the 44 companies Swoopr covers under SIC 1311, its latest reported revenue of $17.2 billion ranks 3rd. The comparison uses each company's own latest fiscal year, which can differ by up to a year across the group.

| Measure | DEVON ENERGY CORP/DE (FY2025) | Peer reference |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Revenue | $17.2 billion | 3rd of 44 |
| Revenue growth | +7.8% | +1.3% (median of 9 peers with a quarter to four times its revenue) |

Companies of similar size in the same classification: [Diamondback Energy, Inc.](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/diamondback-energy/) ($15.0 billion), [OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORP /DE/](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/occidental-petroleum/) ($21.6 billion), [EOG RESOURCES INC](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/eog-resources/) ($22.6 billion), [EXPAND ENERGY Corp](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/expand-energy/) ($12.1 billion), [APA Corp](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/apa-corporation/) ($9.2 billion).

A classification code groups companies by how they describe their main business to the SEC, so two companies with the same code can still differ in customers, geography and cost structure. Treat the comparison as a starting point for the questions below.

## Where value can be captured

The energy value chain runs from exploration and extraction through gathering, transportation, processing, refining, storage, distribution, and end consumption. Services and equipment suppliers support several layers, while infrastructure owners can earn more volume-linked or contracted revenue.

For Devon Energy, name suppliers, channels, customers and infrastructure dependencies only when a reliable source establishes the relationship. The goal is to show where the company sits, what it depends on, and where bargaining power resides.
