filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
shares of common stock covered by this registration statement

will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to

Item 4.   Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Except to the extent indicated below, there is no charter
provision, by-law, contract, arrangement or statute under which
any director or officer of Registrant is insured or indemnified
in any manner against any liability which he or she may incur in
his or her capacity as such.

     Article VIII of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
Registrant contains a provision, permitted by Section 102(b)(7)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), limiting
the personal monetary liability of directors for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director. The DGCL and the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provide that such
provision does not eliminate or limit liability,

     (1)  for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
          Registrant or its stockholders,

     (2)  for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
          intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,

     (3)  for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock
          repurchases or redemptions, as provided in Section 174 of the
          DGCL, or

     (4)  for any transaction from which the director derived an
          improper benefit.

     Section 145 of the DGCL permits indemnification against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with actions, suits or proceedings in which a
director, officer, employee or agent is a party by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was such a director, officer, employee
or agent, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. However, in connection with actions by
or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification is not
permitted if such person has been adjudged liable to the
corporation unless the court determines that, under all of the
circumstances, such person is nonetheless fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper. Article X of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides for such indemnification.

     Section 145 also permits a corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and officers
against any liability which may be asserted against, or incurred
by, such persons in their capacities as directors or officers of
the corporation whether or not Registrant would have the power to
indemnify such persons against such liabilities under the
provisions of such sections. Registrant has purchased such
insurance.

     Section 145 further provides that the statutory provision is
not exclusive of any other right to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or independent
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person's
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office.

     Article XIII of the by-laws of Registrant contains
provisions regarding indemnification which parallel those
described above.

     The merger agreement dated May 19, 1999 between Registrant
and PennzEnergy Company, a Delaware corporation ("PennzEnergy")
(Commission File No. 1-05591), provides that for seven years
after the effective time of the merger, Registrant will indemnify
and hold harmless each person who was a director or officer of
Registrant or PennzEnergy prior to the effective time from their
acts or omissions in those capacities occurring prior to the
effective time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Item 9.   Undertakings

     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  to file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:

               (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective Registration Statement; and

               (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement.

               Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form
S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement;

          (2) that, for the purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to
the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof;

          (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by any such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

with respect to 200,000 shares of common stock, $.10 par value

Energy Corporation 2000 Restricted Stock Bonus Plan (the "Plan").

     We have examined your corporate records and made such other
investigations as we deemed appropriate for the purpose of this
opinion.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.   Devon Energy Corporation (the "Company") has been duly
     incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good
     standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2.   The issuance of the Common Stock has been duly authorized by
     appropriate corporate action on behalf of the Company.

3.   When issued pursuant to the Plan, the Common Stock will be
     validly issued, and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

     We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an
exhibit to the above mentioned Registration Statement.

                              Very Truly Yours,

     Section 4.1    Committee to Grant Awards.  The Committee may,
from time to time, grant Awards to one or more Eligible Employees,
provided:

issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock to the
Participant shall be available again for grant under this Plan.

                                ARTICLE V
                               ELIGIBILITY

Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall, from
time to time, select from the Eligible Employees those to whom
Awards shall be granted and shall establish in the related Award
Agreements the terms, conditions, restrictions and/or
limitations, if any, applicable to the Awards in addition to
those set forth in this Plan and the administrative rules and
regulations issued by the Committee.

                                ARTICLE VI
                            RESTRICTED STOCK BONUS

     Section 6.1    Grant of Restricted Stock Bonus.  The Committee
may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and
such other terms and conditions as it may determine, grant a
Restricted Stock Bonus to any Eligible Employee.  A Restricted
Stock Bonus shall be awarded in such number and at such times
during the term of this Plan as the Committee shall determine.
Each Restricted Stock Bonus may be evidenced in such manner as the
Committee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, a book-
entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates,
and by an Award Agreement setting forth the terms of such Restricted
Stock Bonus.

     Section 6.2    Conditions of Restricted Stock Bonus.  The grant
of a Restricted Stock Bonus shall be subject to the following:

          (a)  Restriction Period.  In addition to any vesting
conditions determined by the Committee, including, but not by way
of limitation, the achievement by the Company of specified
performance criteria, vesting of each Restricted Stock Bonus may
require the holder to remain in the employment of the Company or
a Subsidiary for a prescribed period (a "Restriction Period").
The Committee shall determine the Restriction Period or Periods
which shall apply to the shares of Common Stock covered by each
Restricted Stock Bonus or portion thereof; provided, however, all
Restricted Stock Bonus shall have a minimum Restriction Period of
at least six months from the date of grant.  At the end of the
Restriction Period, assuming the fulfillment of such other
specified vesting conditions, the restrictions imposed by the
Committee shall lapse with respect to the shares of Common Stock
covered by the Restricted Stock Bonus or portion thereof.  The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify or accelerate the
vesting of a Restricted Stock Bonus under such circumstances as
it deems appropriate.

          (b)  Restrictions.  The holder of a Restricted Stock Bonus
may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise
dispose of the shares of Common Stock represented by the
Restricted Stock Bonus during the applicable Restriction Period.
The Committee shall impose such other restrictions and conditions
on any shares of Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Bonus
as it may deem advisable including, without limitation,
restrictions under applicable Federal or state securities laws,
and may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock to
give appropriate notice of such restrictions.

          (c)  Rights as Shareholders.  During any Restriction Period,
the Committee may, in its discretion, grant to the holder of a
Restricted Stock Bonus all or any of the rights of a shareholder
with respect to said shares, including, but not by way of
limitation, the right to vote such shares and to receive
dividends.  If any dividends or other distributions are paid in
shares of Common Stock, all such shares shall be subject to the
same restrictions on transferability as the shares of Restricted
Stock with respect to which they were paid.

                             ARTICLE VII
                           STOCK ADJUSTMENTS

In the event that the shares of Common Stock, as presently
constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the
Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split,
combination of shares or otherwise), or if the number of such
shares of Common Stock shall be increased through the payment of
a stock dividend, or a dividend on the shares of Common Stock or
rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be
issued to holders of all outstanding Common Stock, then there
shall be substituted for or added to each share available under
and subject to this Plan as provided in Article IV hereof, and
each share theretofore appropriated under this Plan, the number
and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each
outstanding share of Common Stock shall be so changed or for
which each such share shall be exchanged or to which each such
share shall be entitled, as the case may be, on a fair and
equivalent basis in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Section 424 of the Code.  In the event there shall be any other
change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, or any stock or other securities into which the Common
Stock shall have been changed or for which it shall have been
exchanged, then if the Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in
the shares available under and subject to this Plan, or in any
Award theretofore granted, such adjustments shall be made in
accordance with such determination, except that no adjustment of
the number of shares of Common Stock available under this Plan or
to which any Award relates that would otherwise be required shall
be made unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with
other adjustments not previously made would require an increase
or decrease of at least 1% in the number of shares of Common
Stock available under this Plan or to which any Award relates
immediately prior to the making of such adjustment (the "Minimum
Adjustment").  Any adjustment representing a change of less than
such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as soon as
such adjustment together with other adjustments required by this
Article VII and not previously made would result in a Minimum
Adjustment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment
required by this Article VII which otherwise would not result in
a Minimum Adjustment shall be made with respect to shares of
Common Stock relating to any Award immediately prior to payment
or settlement of such Award.

     No fractional shares of Common Stock or units of other
securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and
any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole
share.

                            ARTICLE VIII
                               GENERAL

     Section 8.1    Amendment or Termination of Plan.  The Board may
suspend or terminate this Plan at any time.  In addition, the Board may,
from time to time, amend this Plan in any manner, provided no such
amendment shall adversely affect any Participant's rights in Restricted
Stock which has become vested.

     Section 8.2    Termination of Employment.  If a Participant's
employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for a reason
other than death, disability, retirement, or any approved reason,
unearned, and/or unpaid Awards, including, but not by way of limitation,
Awards earned, but not yet paid, all unpaid dividends and dividend
equivalents, and all interest, if any, accrued on the foregoing shall be
cancelled or forfeited, as the case may be, unless the Participant's Award
Agreement provides otherwise.  The Committee shall (i) determine
what events constitute disability, retirement, or termination for
an approved reason for purposes of this Plan, and (ii) determine
the treatment of a Participant under this Plan (including
forfeiure of any unearned and/or unpaid Awards) in the event of
his or her death, disability, retirement, or termination for an
approved reason.  The Committee shall also determine the method,
if any, for accelerating the vesting of any Restricted Stock
Bonus.

     Section 8.3    Withholding Taxes.  A Participant may pay the amount
of taxes required by law when an Award is required to be included in
the Participant's taxable income (i) in cash, (ii) by delivering to
the Company shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the
date of payment equal to the amount of such required withholding taxes,
or (iii) by directing the Company to withhold from the shares of Common
Stock to be delivered to the Participant shares of Common Stock
having a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the
amount of such required withholding taxes.

     Section 8.4    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.  The Committee
may choose, at the time of the grant of any Award or any time there-
after up to the time of payment of such Award, to include as part
of such Award an entitlement to receive dividends or dividend
equivalents subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or
limitations, if any, as the Committee may establish.  Dividends and
dividend equivalents granted hereunder shall be paid in such form
and manner (i.e., lump sum or installments), and at such time as
the Committee shall determine.  All dividends or dividend equivalents
which are not paid currently may, at the Committee's discretion, accrue
interest or be reinvested into additional shares of Common Stock.

     Section 8.5    Amendments to Awards.  The Committee may at any
time unilaterally amend the terms of any Award Agreement, whether
or not presently vested, to the extent it deems appropriate; provided,
however, that any such amendment which is adverse to the Participant
shall require the Participant's consent.

     Section 8.6    Regulatory Approval and Listings.  The Company
shall use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as soon as practicable following approval by the Board,
and keep continuously effectively and usable, a Registration State-
ment on Form S-8 with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to
Awards hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan
to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or
deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock evidencing
Restricted Stock Bonus prior to:

          (a)  the obtaining of any approval from, or satisfaction
of any waiting period or other condition imposed by, any governmental
agency which the Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
determine to be necessary or advisable;

          (b)  the admission of such shares to listing on the stock
exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed; and

          (c)  the completion of any registration or other qualification
of such shares under any state or Federal law or ruling of any
governmental body which the Committee shall, in its sole
discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.

     Section 8.7    Right to Continued Employment.  Participation in
this Plan shall not give any Eligible Employee any right to remain
in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary.  The Company or, in
the case of employment with a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary reserves the
right to terminate any Eligible Employee at any time.  Further, the
adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Eligible
Employee or any other individual any right to be selected as a Partici-
pant or to be granted an Award.

     Section 8.8    Reliance on Reports.  Each member of the Committee
and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying or
acting in good faith upon any report made by the independent public
accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other
information furnished in connection with this Plan by any person or
persons other than himself.  In no event shall any person who is or
shall have been a member of the Committee or of the Board be liable for
any determination made or other action taken or any omission to
act in reliance upon any such report or information or for any
action taken, including the furnishing of information, or failure
to act, if in good faith.

     Section 8.9    Construction.  Masculine pronouns and other words
of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women.  The titles
and headings of the sections in this Plan are for the convenience
of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of
this Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

     Section 8.10   Governing Law.  This Plan shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma,
except as superseded by applicable Federal law.

               (b)  Vesting.  If the Participant's employment with
the Company (or any one or more of the Subsidiaries) remains full-
time and continuous at all times prior to any of the vesting dates
specified below (the "Vesting Dates"), then, the Participant
shall be entitled, subject to the applicable provisions of the
Plan and this Agreement having been satisfied, to receive on or
within a reasonable time after the applicable Vesting Dates, on
accumulative basis, the number of shares of Stock determined by
multiplying the aggregate shares of Stock subject to the Award by

the Award (including the underlying Restricted Stock and "Accrued
Dividends," as such term is hereinafter defined).

               (c)  Voting Rights and Dividends.  The Participant
shall have all of the voting rights attributable to the shares of
Restricted Stock issued to him.  Regular quarterly cash dividends declared
and paid by the Company with respect to the shares of Restricted
Stock shall be paid to the Participant.  Any extraordinary
dividends declared and paid by the Company with respect to shares
of Restricted Stock ("Accrued Dividends") shall not be paid to
the Participant until such Restricted Stock becomes Vested Stock.
Such Accrued Dividends shall be held by the Company as a general
obligation and paid to the Participant at the time the underlying
Restricted Stock becomes Vested Stock.

               (d)  Vested Stock - Removal of Restrictions.  Upon
Restricted Stock becoming Vested Stock, all restrictions shall be
removed from the certificates representing such Stock and the Secretary
of the Company shall deliver to the Participant certificates
representing such Vested Stock free and clear of all
restrictions, except for any applicable securities laws
restrictions, together with a check in the amount of all Accrued
Dividends attributed to such Vested Stock without interest
thereon.

     WITH THAT CERTAIN AWARD AGREEMENT FOR DEVON ENERGY
     CORPORATION 2000 RESTRICTED STOCK BONUS PLAN DATED THE
     _____ DAY OF ______, 2000.  ANY ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF
     THE SHARES OF STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IN
     VIOLATION OF SUCH AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND
     WITHOUT EFFECT.  A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT MAY BE
     OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF DEVON ENERGY
     CORPORATION."

          5.   Stock Powers and the Beneficiary.  The Participant
hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Secretary of the Company a
stock power (endorsed in blank) in the form of Exhibit B hereto
covering his Award and authorizes the Secretary to deliver to the
Company any and all shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited
under the provisions of this Agreement.  The Participant further
authorizes the Company to hold as a general obligation of the
Company any Accrued Dividends and to pay such dividends to the
Participant at the time the underlying Restricted Stock becomes
Vested Stock.

          6.   Nontransferability of Award.  The Participant shall not
have the right to sell, assign, transfer, convey, dispose, pledge,
hypothecate, burden, encumber or charge the Award or any Restricted
Stock or any interest therein in any manner whatsoever.

          7.   Notices.  All notices or other communications relating
to the Plan and this Agreement as it relates to the Participant
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been made if
personally delivered in return for a receipt, or if mailed by

Participant at his or her last known address evidenced on the
payroll records of the Company.

          8.   Binding Effect and Governing Law.  This Agreement shall

and their respective heirs, successors and assigns except as may
be limited by the Plan, and (ii) governed and construed under the
laws of the State of Oklahoma.

          9.   Withholding.  The Company and the Participant shall
comply with all federal and state laws and regulations respecting
the required withholding, deposit and payment of any income,
employment or other taxes relating to the Award (including
Accrued Dividends).  The Company shall withhold the employer's
minimum statutory withholding based upon minimum statutory
withholding rates for federal and state purposes, including
payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable
income.  Any payment of required withholding taxes by the
Participant in the form of Common Stock shall not be permitted if
it would result in an accounting charge with respect to such
shares used to pay such taxes unless otherwise approved by the
Committee.

         10.  Award Subject to Claims of Creditors.  The Participant
shall not have any interest in any particular assets of the Company,
its parent, if applicable, or any Subsidiary by reason of the
right to earn an Award (including Accrued Dividends) under the
Plan and this Agreement, and the Participant or any other person
shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the
Company, its parent, if applicable, or a Subsidiary with respect
to any rights under the Plan or this Agreement.

         11.  Captions.  The captions of specific provisions of this
Agreement are for convenience and reference only, and in no way
define, describe, extend or limit the scope of this Agreement or
the intent of any provision hereof.

         12.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original for all purposes, but all of which taken together shall
form one agreement.

         13.  Arbitration of Disputes.  Any disputes, claims or
controversies between the Participant and the Company which may
arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be settled by
arbitration.  This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.  Any arbitration shall be in
accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association
and shall be undertaken pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.
Arbitration will be held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma unless the
parties mutually agree on another location.  The decision of the
arbitrator(s) will be enforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction.  The arbitrator(s) may, but will not be required,
to award such damages or other monetary relief as either party
might be entitled to receive from a court of competent
jurisdiction.  Nothing in this agreement to arbitrate shall
preclude the Company from obtaining injunctive relief from a
court of competent jurisdiction prohibiting any on-going breaches
of the Agreement by the Participant pending arbitration.  The
arbitrator(s) may also award costs and attorneys' fees in
connection with the arbitration to the prevailing party; however,
in the arbitrator's(s') discretion, each party may be ordered to
bear its/his/her own costs and attorneys' fees.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed
this Agreement on the day and year first above written.

     3. The description of the Registrant's Common Stock set forth

     All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections

filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
shares of common stock covered by this registration statement

deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained
in this Registration Statement or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference to this Registration Statement modifies or supersedes
such statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded
will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to

Item 4.   Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Except to the extent indicated below, there is no charter
provision, by-law, contract, arrangement or statute under which
any director or officer of Registrant is insured or indemnified
in any manner against any liability which he or she may incur in
his or her capacity as such.

     Article VIII of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
Registrant contains a provision, permitted by Section 102(b)(7)
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), limiting
the personal monetary liability of directors for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director. The DGCL and the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant provide that such
provision does not eliminate or limit liability,

     (1)  for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
          Registrant or its stockholders,

     (2)  for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
          intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,

     (3)  for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock
          repurchases or redemptions, as provided in Section 174 of the
          DGCL, or

     (4)  for any transaction from which the director derived an
          improper benefit.

     Section 145 of the DGCL permits indemnification against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with actions, suits or proceedings in which a
director, officer, employee or agent is a party by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was such a director, officer, employee
or agent, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. However, in connection with actions by
or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification is not
permitted if such person has been adjudged liable to the
corporation unless the court determines that, under all of the
circumstances, such person is nonetheless fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems
proper. Article X of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides for such indemnification.

     Section 145 also permits a corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and officers
against any liability which may be asserted against, or incurred
by, such persons in their capacities as directors or officers of
the corporation whether or not Registrant would have the power to
indemnify such persons against such liabilities under the
provisions of such sections. Registrant has purchased such
insurance.

     Section 145 further provides that the statutory provision is
not exclusive of any other right to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or independent
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person's
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office.

     Article XIII of the by-laws of Registrant contains
provisions regarding indemnification which parallel those
described above.

     The merger agreement dated May 19, 1999 between Registrant
and PennzEnergy Company, a Delaware corporation ("PennzEnergy")
(Commission File No. 1-05591), provides that for seven years
after the effective time of the merger, Registrant will indemnify
and hold harmless each person who was a director or officer of
Registrant or PennzEnergy prior to the effective time from their
acts or omissions in those capacities occurring prior to the
effective time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Item 9.   Undertakings

     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  to file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:

               (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective Registration Statement; and

               (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement.

               Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form
S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement;

          (2) that, for the purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to
the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof;

          (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by any such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Reference is made to your Registration Statement on Form S-8
to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today
with respect to 200,000 shares of common stock, $.10 par value
per share (the "Common Stock") to be issued pursuant to the Devon
Energy Corporation 2000 Restricted Stock Bonus Plan (the "Plan").

     We have examined your corporate records and made such other
investigations as we deemed appropriate for the purpose of this
opinion.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.   Devon Energy Corporation (the "Company") has been duly
     incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good
     standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2.   The issuance of the Common Stock has been duly authorized by
     appropriate corporate action on behalf of the Company.

3.   When issued pursuant to the Plan, the Common Stock will be
     validly issued, and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

     We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an
exhibit to the above mentioned Registration Statement.

                              Very Truly Yours,

conditions or acceleration or early vesting or payment of an

                             ARTICLE IV
                           GRANT OF AWARDS

     Section 4.1    Committee to Grant Awards.  The Committee may,
from time to time, grant Awards to one or more Eligible Employees,
provided:

          (a)  Any shares of Common Stock related to Awards which terminate
by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the
issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock to the
Participant shall be available again for grant under this Plan.

          (b)  Common Stock delivered by the Company in payment of any
Award under this Plan may be authorized and unissued Common Stock
or Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

          (c)  The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the
manner in which fractional shares arising under this Plan shall
be treated.

                                ARTICLE V
                               ELIGIBILITY

Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall, from
time to time, select from the Eligible Employees those to whom
Awards shall be granted and shall establish in the related Award
Agreements the terms, conditions, restrictions and/or
limitations, if any, applicable to the Awards in addition to
those set forth in this Plan and the administrative rules and
regulations issued by the Committee.

                                ARTICLE VI
                            RESTRICTED STOCK BONUS

     Section 6.1    Grant of Restricted Stock Bonus.  The Committee
may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Plan and
such other terms and conditions as it may determine, grant a
Restricted Stock Bonus to any Eligible Employee.  A Restricted
Stock Bonus shall be awarded in such number and at such times
during the term of this Plan as the Committee shall determine.
Each Restricted Stock Bonus may be evidenced in such manner as the
Committee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, a book-
entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates,
and by an Award Agreement setting forth the terms of such Restricted
Stock Bonus.

     Section 6.2    Conditions of Restricted Stock Bonus.  The grant
of a Restricted Stock Bonus shall be subject to the following:

          (a)  Restriction Period.  In addition to any vesting
conditions determined by the Committee, including, but not by way
of limitation, the achievement by the Company of specified
performance criteria, vesting of each Restricted Stock Bonus may
require the holder to remain in the employment of the Company or
a Subsidiary for a prescribed period (a "Restriction Period").
The Committee shall determine the Restriction Period or Periods
which shall apply to the shares of Common Stock covered by each
Restricted Stock Bonus or portion thereof; provided, however, all
Restricted Stock Bonus shall have a minimum Restriction Period of
at least six months from the date of grant.  At the end of the
Restriction Period, assuming the fulfillment of such other
specified vesting conditions, the restrictions imposed by the
Committee shall lapse with respect to the shares of Common Stock
covered by the Restricted Stock Bonus or portion thereof.  The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify or accelerate the
vesting of a Restricted Stock Bonus under such circumstances as
it deems appropriate.

          (b)  Restrictions.  The holder of a Restricted Stock Bonus
may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise
dispose of the shares of Common Stock represented by the
Restricted Stock Bonus during the applicable Restriction Period.
The Committee shall impose such other restrictions and conditions
on any shares of Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Bonus
as it may deem advisable including, without limitation,
restrictions under applicable Federal or state securities laws,
and may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock to
give appropriate notice of such restrictions.

          (c)  Rights as Shareholders.  During any Restriction Period,
the Committee may, in its discretion, grant to the holder of a
Restricted Stock Bonus all or any of the rights of a shareholder
with respect to said shares, including, but not by way of
limitation, the right to vote such shares and to receive
dividends.  If any dividends or other distributions are paid in
shares of Common Stock, all such shares shall be subject to the
same restrictions on transferability as the shares of Restricted
Stock with respect to which they were paid.

                             ARTICLE VII
                           STOCK ADJUSTMENTS

In the event that the shares of Common Stock, as presently
constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the
Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split,
combination of shares or otherwise), or if the number of such
shares of Common Stock shall be increased through the payment of
a stock dividend, or a dividend on the shares of Common Stock or
rights or warrants to purchase securities of the Company shall be
issued to holders of all outstanding Common Stock, then there
shall be substituted for or added to each share available under
and subject to this Plan as provided in Article IV hereof, and
each share theretofore appropriated under this Plan, the number
and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each
outstanding share of Common Stock shall be so changed or for
which each such share shall be exchanged or to which each such
share shall be entitled, as the case may be, on a fair and
equivalent basis in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Section 424 of the Code.  In the event there shall be any other
change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, or any stock or other securities into which the Common
Stock shall have been changed or for which it shall have been
exchanged, then if the Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in
the shares available under and subject to this Plan, or in any
Award theretofore granted, such adjustments shall be made in
accordance with such determination, except that no adjustment of
the number of shares of Common Stock available under this Plan or
to which any Award relates that would otherwise be required shall
be made unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with
other adjustments not previously made would require an increase
or decrease of at least 1% in the number of shares of Common
Stock available under this Plan or to which any Award relates
immediately prior to the making of such adjustment (the "Minimum
Adjustment").  Any adjustment representing a change of less than
such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as soon as
such adjustment together with other adjustments required by this
Article VII and not previously made would result in a Minimum
Adjustment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment
required by this Article VII which otherwise would not result in
a Minimum Adjustment shall be made with respect to shares of
Common Stock relating to any Award immediately prior to payment
or settlement of such Award.

     No fractional shares of Common Stock or units of other
securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and
any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole
share.

                            ARTICLE VIII
                               GENERAL

     Section 8.1    Amendment or Termination of Plan.  The Board may
suspend or terminate this Plan at any time.  In addition, the Board may,
from time to time, amend this Plan in any manner, provided no such
amendment shall adversely affect any Participant's rights in Restricted
Stock which has become vested.

     Section 8.2    Termination of Employment.  If a Participant's
employment with the Company or a Subsidiary terminates for a reason
other than death, disability, retirement, or any approved reason,
unearned, and/or unpaid Awards, including, but not by way of limitation,
Awards earned, but not yet paid, all unpaid dividends and dividend
equivalents, and all interest, if any, accrued on the foregoing shall be
cancelled or forfeited, as the case may be, unless the Participant's Award
Agreement provides otherwise.  The Committee shall (i) determine
what events constitute disability, retirement, or termination for
an approved reason for purposes of this Plan, and (ii) determine
the treatment of a Participant under this Plan (including
forfeiure of any unearned and/or unpaid Awards) in the event of
his or her death, disability, retirement, or termination for an
approved reason.  The Committee shall also determine the method,
if any, for accelerating the vesting of any Restricted Stock
Bonus.

     Section 8.3    Withholding Taxes.  A Participant may pay the amount
of taxes required by law when an Award is required to be included in
the Participant's taxable income (i) in cash, (ii) by delivering to
the Company shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the
date of payment equal to the amount of such required withholding taxes,
or (iii) by directing the Company to withhold from the shares of Common
Stock to be delivered to the Participant shares of Common Stock
having a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the
amount of such required withholding taxes.

     Section 8.4    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.  The Committee
may choose, at the time of the grant of any Award or any time there-
after up to the time of payment of such Award, to include as part
of such Award an entitlement to receive dividends or dividend
equivalents subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions, and/or
limitations, if any, as the Committee may establish.  Dividends and
dividend equivalents granted hereunder shall be paid in such form
and manner (i.e., lump sum or installments), and at such time as
the Committee shall determine.  All dividends or dividend equivalents
which are not paid currently may, at the Committee's discretion, accrue
interest or be reinvested into additional shares of Common Stock.

     Section 8.5    Amendments to Awards.  The Committee may at any
time unilaterally amend the terms of any Award Agreement, whether
or not presently vested, to the extent it deems appropriate; provided,
however, that any such amendment which is adverse to the Participant
shall require the Participant's consent.

     Section 8.6    Regulatory Approval and Listings.  The Company
shall use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as soon as practicable following approval by the Board,
and keep continuously effectively and usable, a Registration State-
ment on Form S-8 with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to
Awards hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan
to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or
deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock evidencing
Restricted Stock Bonus prior to:

          (a)  the obtaining of any approval from, or satisfaction
of any waiting period or other condition imposed by, any governmental
agency which the Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
determine to be necessary or advisable;

          (b)  the admission of such shares to listing on the stock
exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed; and

          (c)  the completion of any registration or other qualification
of such shares under any state or Federal law or ruling of any
governmental body which the Committee shall, in its sole
discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.

     Section 8.7    Right to Continued Employment.  Participation in
this Plan shall not give any Eligible Employee any right to remain
in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary.  The Company or, in
the case of employment with a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary reserves the
right to terminate any Eligible Employee at any time.  Further, the
adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Eligible
Employee or any other individual any right to be selected as a Partici-
pant or to be granted an Award.

     Section 8.8    Reliance on Reports.  Each member of the Committee
and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying or
acting in good faith upon any report made by the independent public
accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other
information furnished in connection with this Plan by any person or
persons other than himself.  In no event shall any person who is or
shall have been a member of the Committee or of the Board be liable for
any determination made or other action taken or any omission to
act in reliance upon any such report or information or for any
action taken, including the furnishing of information, or failure
to act, if in good faith.

     Section 8.9    Construction.  Masculine pronouns and other words
of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women.  The titles
and headings of the sections in this Plan are for the convenience
of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of
this Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

     Section 8.10   Governing Law.  This Plan shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma,
except as superseded by applicable Federal law.

               (b)  Vesting.  If the Participant's employment with
the Company (or any one or more of the Subsidiaries) remains full-
time and continuous at all times prior to any of the vesting dates
specified below (the "Vesting Dates"), then, the Participant
shall be entitled, subject to the applicable provisions of the

multiplying the aggregate shares of Stock subject to the Award by

               (c)  Voting Rights and Dividends.  The Participant
shall have all of the voting rights attributable to the shares of

and paid by the Company with respect to the shares of Restricted
Stock shall be paid to the Participant.  Any extraordinary
dividends declared and paid by the Company with respect to shares
of Restricted Stock ("Accrued Dividends") shall not be paid to
the Participant until such Restricted Stock becomes Vested Stock.
Such Accrued Dividends shall be held by the Company as a general
obligation and paid to the Participant at the time the underlying
Restricted Stock becomes Vested Stock.

               (d)  Vested Stock - Removal of Restrictions.  Upon
Restricted Stock becoming Vested Stock, all restrictions shall be
removed from the certificates representing such Stock and the Secretary
of the Company shall deliver to the Participant certificates
representing such Vested Stock free and clear of all
restrictions, except for any applicable securities laws
restrictions, together with a check in the amount of all Accrued
Dividends attributed to such Vested Stock without interest
thereon.

     WITH THAT CERTAIN AWARD AGREEMENT FOR DEVON ENERGY
     CORPORATION 2000 RESTRICTED STOCK BONUS PLAN DATED THE
     _____ DAY OF ______, 2000.  ANY ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF
     THE SHARES OF STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IN
     VIOLATION OF SUCH AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AND
     WITHOUT EFFECT.  A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT MAY BE
     OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF DEVON ENERGY
     CORPORATION."

          5.   Stock Powers and the Beneficiary.  The Participant
hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Secretary of the Company a
stock power (endorsed in blank) in the form of Exhibit B hereto
covering his Award and authorizes the Secretary to deliver to the
Company any and all shares of Restricted Stock that are forfeited
under the provisions of this Agreement.  The Participant further
authorizes the Company to hold as a general obligation of the
Company any Accrued Dividends and to pay such dividends to the
Participant at the time the underlying Restricted Stock becomes
Vested Stock.

          6.   Nontransferability of Award.  The Participant shall not
have the right to sell, assign, transfer, convey, dispose, pledge,
hypothecate, burden, encumber or charge the Award or any Restricted
Stock or any interest therein in any manner whatsoever.

          7.   Notices.  All notices or other communications relating
to the Plan and this Agreement as it relates to the Participant
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been made if

payroll records of the Company.

          8.   Binding Effect and Governing Law.  This Agreement shall

          9.   Withholding.  The Company and the Participant shall
comply with all federal and state laws and regulations respecting
the required withholding, deposit and payment of any income,
employment or other taxes relating to the Award (including
Accrued Dividends).  The Company shall withhold the employer's
minimum statutory withholding based upon minimum statutory
withholding rates for federal and state purposes, including
payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable
income.  Any payment of required withholding taxes by the
Participant in the form of Common Stock shall not be permitted if
it would result in an accounting charge with respect to such
shares used to pay such taxes unless otherwise approved by the
Committee.

         10.  Award Subject to Claims of Creditors.  The Participant
shall not have any interest in any particular assets of the Company,
its parent, if applicable, or any Subsidiary by reason of the
right to earn an Award (including Accrued Dividends) under the
Plan and this Agreement, and the Participant or any other person
shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the
Company, its parent, if applicable, or a Subsidiary with respect
to any rights under the Plan or this Agreement.

         11.  Captions.  The captions of specific provisions of this
Agreement are for convenience and reference only, and in no way

the intent of any provision hereof.

         12.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original for all purposes, but all of which taken together shall
form one agreement.

         13.  Arbitration of Disputes.  Any disputes, claims or
controversies between the Participant and the Company which may
arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be settled by
arbitration.  This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.  Any arbitration shall be in
accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association
and shall be undertaken pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act.
Arbitration will be held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma unless the
parties mutually agree on another location.  The decision of the
arbitrator(s) will be enforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction.  The arbitrator(s) may, but will not be required,
to award such damages or other monetary relief as either party
might be entitled to receive from a court of competent
jurisdiction.  Nothing in this agreement to arbitrate shall
preclude the Company from obtaining injunctive relief from a
court of competent jurisdiction prohibiting any on-going breaches
of the Agreement by the Participant pending arbitration.  The
arbitrator(s) may also award costs and attorneys' fees in
connection with the arbitration to the prevailing party; however,
in the arbitrator's(s') discretion, each party may be ordered to
bear its/his/her own costs and attorneys' fees.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed
this Agreement on the day and year first above written.
