U.S based, Devon Energy adds to the exodus of foreign oil and gas companies leaving the Canadian oil patch. Devon Energy has roots in Canada dating back to 1998 and opened its first facility in 2007. Their Canadian operation represented about 24% of their overall production with 750 employees in Canada. The company is leaving Canada to complete its“transformation to a high-return U.S. oil growth business". According to the 2018 Global Petroleum Survey, the U.S. is the most attractive region for oil and gas investment, while Canada now ranks fourth.
