Reason to reach out
Coterra note exchange window closes June 23 — financial integration executing now. Devon registered 175K preferred conversion shares June 5, layering capital structure complexity on top of the JOA re-execution and the May BLM acquisition (16,300 net acres, 400 locations requiring federal title opinions). Combined 2026 guidance drops mid-June. The federal title queue and integration curative load are the practical land legal questions of the moment.

Scott — Devon registered 175,000 shares for Coterra preferred conversion on June 5, the same day as the early tender deadline on the Coterra senior note exchange offers — the expiration is June 23. Combined 2026 guidance is expected this month. The land department is running JOA re-execution across the combined Delaware Basin position while the May BLM acquisition of 16,300 net acres in Lea and Eddy Counties sits in the title queue — 400 net locations where federal title opinions are required before BLM drilling permits issue. Federal examination is a separate workflow from standard Permian title. Worth a conversation if outside bandwidth on the federal title queue would be useful.

Devon/Coterra — preferred conversion registration June 5, note exchange expires June 23, combined guidance mid-June

Hi [First Name],
Devon filed to register 175,000 shares for conversion of Coterra Energy Operating Co.'s 8 1/8% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock on June 5 — the same day as the early tender deadline on the private exchange offers for Coterra senior notes (expiration June 23). Combined 2026 operational guidance incorporating $1 billion in targeted synergies is expected this month.
On the land legal side, the integration has the land department running JOA re-execution across the combined Delaware Basin position while the May 21 BLM acquisition of 16,300 net acres in Lea and Eddy Counties (400 net locations) adds a federal title examination workstream. Federal leases require federal title opinions before BLM drilling permits issue — the examination process is distinct from standard Permian title workflow and cannot be batched with private or state leasehold work on the same program.
We handle federal title opinions and NMOCD regulatory work in Lea and Eddy Counties. Board Certified in Oil, Gas, and Mineral Law, licensed in Texas and New Mexico.
If a call to scope the federal title queue or discuss integration curative would be useful this week, I am available.

Devon Energy registered 175,000 shares for conversion of Coterra Energy's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on June 5 — the same day as the early tender deadline on the private exchange offers for Coterra senior notes, which expire June 23. Combined 2026 operational guidance, incorporating $1 billion in targeted synergies, is expected mid-June. The Devon-Coterra integration is in its most active execution phase: financial structure rationalization, JOA re-execution across the combined Delaware Basin position, and a May 21 BLM acquisition of 16,300 net undeveloped acres in Lea and Eddy Counties, NM — 400 locations each requiring a federal title opinion before BLM drilling permits issue. Federal leases are a different examination workflow from state or private Permian leasehold. This is not the normal backdrop for land legal workload on a Monday in June.
