The deal with Apache would net Devon about $840 million after taxes, bringing the company to the high end of its expectations to raise $4.5 billion to $7.5 billion from all of its international andoffshore asset sales. Devon still has properties in China to sell. In March, British oil major
BP PLC agreed to pay $7 billion for Devon’s assets in Brazil, the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and a development in Azerbaijan.
