WPX Energy, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Devon Energy Corporation

WPX Energy, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Devon Energy Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While WPX Energy has not established its own reduction targets or climate pledges, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Devon Energy Corporation.
