Pursuant to the agreement, Devon has agreed to acquire the outstanding common shares of Anderson for C$40.00 (US$25.80)(i) per share in cash. The aggregate value of the offer, including Devon's assumption of approximately US$1.2 billion of debt and other obligations of Anderson, is approximately US$4.6 billion. In the Anderson transaction, Devon will acquire estimated proved reserves of 532 million barrels of oil equivalent and approximately eight million net undeveloped acres. Devon has allocated $680 million of the aggregate purchase price to Anderson's undeveloped acreage and seismic data.

This agreement follows Devon's August 14, 2001 announcement that it intends to acquire Mitchell Energy & Development Corp. for a total of US$3.5 billion. Upon successful completion of both transactions, Devon will be the largest independent producer of oil and natural gas in North America. Both transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2001. Devon and Mitchell expect to amend the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus that has been filed with the SEC. The amended joint proxy statement/prospectus will include the pro forma effects of the Anderson acquisition. Neither the Mitchell nor the Anderson transactions are conditional upon each other.

Canadian Operations:
Devon's Canadian operations are conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiary headquartered in Calgary. Anderson's operations will be merged with Devon's Canadian operations. John Richels, President and CEO of Devon's Canadian subsidiary, commented, "By combining our existing Canadian staff with Anderson's, we will build one of the strongest workforces in the Canadian oilpatch. We expect a very smooth integration of Anderson's staff and properties and anticipate a great future for Devon in Canada."

The main objective of Petrobras in recording this High-Resolution Seismic survey is to ``ring fence'' the producing field for the first time with the highest quality seismic available. This improved High-Resolution survey will provide a better image and understanding of the producing reservoir. This type of survey has the added benefit of serving as the baseline survey for future 4D programs to monitor the producing reservoir over the entire lifetime of the field. Acquisition and onboard processing will be performed in this complex area by the CGG Harmattan, including on-board processing with completion of final onshore migration processing by CGG's reservoir processing group located in Paris, France.
