This excerpt taken from the DVN 10-K filed Feb 28, 2007. Change
in Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
The details of the changes in fair value of derivative financial
instruments between 2004 and 2006 are shown in the table below.
The change in the fair value of the embedded option relates to
the debentures exchangeable into shares of Chevron Corporation
common stock. These expenses were caused primarily by increases
in the price of Chevron Corporations common stock.
In 2005, we recognized a $39 million loss on certain oil
derivative financial instruments that no longer qualified for
hedge accounting because the hedged production exceeded actual
and projected production under these contracts. The lower than
expected production was caused primarily by hurricanes that
affected offshore production in the Gulf of Mexico.
