Devon Eagle Ford Production Estimates

Devon predicts production will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 25% over the next several years, reaching peak production of ~140,000 boe/d. I suspect we'll see much more than 25% growth in the first few years.

According to the company, the Eagle Ford development program in 2014 will be self-funding and is expected to start generating free cash flow beginning in 2015. Risked recoverable resources in the Eagle Ford are estimated at 400 million boe, of which more than 60% are proved reserves.
