Devon Energy Just Landed a European Jackpot -- Thanks to Centrica's Gas Grab
Centrica has just signed a 10-year deal with Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) to lock in 50,000 MMBtu/day of U.S. natural gas starting in 2028enough for roughly five LNG cargoes a year. The volumes will be indexed to TTF, Europe's gas benchmark, not the lower-priced Henry Hub. That's a key detail. With European and Asian gas prices currently trading at about 4x U.S. rates, the spread creates strong incentive for U.S. producers to go global. This deal does exactly that for Devon. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with DVN. For Centrica, it's part of a broader strategy that's rapidly gaining pace. After opening a New York office and inking recent long-term agreements with Petrobras and Coterra, the company is clearly positioning itself for deeper global gas integration. CEO Chris O'Shea called gas an essential transition fuel and noted that partnerships like this help Centrica secure competitively-priced supply while hedging its European LNG exposure. Devon, meanwhile, benefits from access to international markets without having to build its own export terminal or shipping fleet. This type of exposurevia long-term offtake partnersis becoming increasingly valuable as U.S. producers look to monetize the global arbitrage. And with demand staying strong across Europe, Devon's TTF-linked pricing could offer a meaningful uplift versus domestic benchmarks. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
