Devon Energy Corporation is poised to expand its oil and gas production as soaring gas prices drive the need for increased drilling activity. With projected earnings for 2022 expected to surge by 139.7% and a share price rise of 32% year-to-date, investor sentiment remains strong. The company has also approved a dividend increase to $1, lifting its yield to 7.1%, despite facing a 15% rise in project costs. Devon is set to release its first-quarter earnings on May 2, where strong production figures are anticipated.
