Reuters is reporting that Devon is in talks to acquire WPX Energy.   This deal would see Devon's leverage go from 0.8x to 1.7x based on TTM (Trailing Twelve Month) Net Debt/ EBITDA   The transaction would also pivot the company into the top 5 shale oil players.  

There isn't much overlap in acreage between the two company's Delaware Basin Permian land positons.

This deal would also see Devon expanding into another basin, (Bakken) as if the company is not already spread across enough basins (Delaware, Powder River, Anadarko Basin) currently.
