Rigs to Reef Program on the Texas Gulf Coast
Working with the Parks and Wildlife service and the state of Texas, Devon Energy (formally Mitchell Energy) made this idle production platform at Galveston Block 189 even more homey for marine inhabitants as it transformed the structure into a new member of the state’s “Rigs to Reefs” program. This thirteen-year-old program enables oil companies to avoid the high cost of completely removing structures in depleted fields and towing them to shore.

Wise Eyes Protecting Communites from Crime
Born of the desire to give back to the community, Devon Energy Corporation helped found Wise Eyes to assist local law enforcement in Wise County, Texas near Fort Worth. Being responsible for the transportation and treatment of the county’s natural gas reserves means having lots of employees on the county roads driving to and from job sites daily. Using their presence in the community as a resource, Devon employees are able to serve as extra eyes and ears in the community where law enforcement officers can’t always be.
