LandBridge signs 10-year water management deal with Devon Energy

HOUSTON - LandBridge Company LLC (NYSE:LB) announced Monday it has secured a 10-year surface use and pore space reservation agreement with Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE:DVN), a $20.75 billion market cap energy company with consistently strong financial health, to support Devon’s operations in New Mexico’s Delaware Basin.

Under the agreement, LandBridge will provide Devon with 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) of pore space capacity on its East Stateline Ranch and Speed Ranch surface acreage. The reservation will begin in the second quarter of 2027 and includes a minimum volume commitment from Devon to deliver at least 175,000 bpd of produced water. According to InvestingPro analysis, Devon Energy appears undervalued based on its Fair Value metrics, with the company maintaining dividend payments for 33 consecutive years.

The agreement aims to address Devon’s water management needs in the Delaware Basin, which is part of the Permian Basin, currently the most active region for oil and gas development in the United States.

LandBridge owns approximately 277,000 surface acres across Texas and New Mexico, with significant holdings in the Delaware Basin region. The company was formed by Five Point Infrastructure LLC, a private equity firm that invests in energy and infrastructure companies in the Permian Basin.

The agreement represents a continuation of water management solutions in the region, where handling produced water from oil and gas operations remains a significant operational challenge for energy producers.
