Conclusions Gas exploration and production is playing an important role in the North Texas economy. Devon s activities are generating almost 9,000 local jobs, creating economic activity, and boosting local tax revenues. As a result of increasing North American demand for clean-burning natural gas, Devon will continue to be a major contributor to the regional economy in the years ahead.
