Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of business combinations over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is tested for impairment at least annually. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and all other assets and liabilities to assigned reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated and compared to the net book value of the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the net book value, including goodwill, then the goodwill is written down to the implied fair value of the goodwill through a charge to expense. Because quoted market prices are not available for Devon’s reporting units, the fair values of the reporting units are estimated based upon several valuation analyses, including comparable companies, comparable transactions and premiums paid. Devon performed annual impairment tests of goodwill in the fourth quarters of 2008, 2007 and 2006. Based on these assessments, no impairment of goodwill was required.
 
The table below provides a summary of Devon’s goodwill, by assigned reporting unit, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The decrease in goodwill from 2007 to 2008 is largely due to changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar.
