Devon Energy confirms it is closing its Houston area offices, affecting about 60 workers. The move comes about a month after the Oklahoma City-based energy firm announced a cutback of 20 percent of its total workforce. The layoffs in February affected nearly 1,000 employees.
The south Texas office was located in the suburb of Spring and it was there that the Eagle Ford shale operations were partially handled. Devon ended up with the office when it acquired south Texas properties in 2013 of Geosouthern Energy.
