Kunneman v Devon Energy Settlement
Distribution will be based on the volume of gas produced and the extent of post-production deductions made by the defendant, net of attorney fees, litigation expenses, administration costs, and notice and distribution costs.
What happened
Devon Energy allegedly underpaid royalties on gas and gas constituents from Oklahoma oil and gas wells it operated from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2025. Devon denies all allegations of wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.

Common questions
- How much does the Kunneman v Devon Energy Settlement pay?
- Estimated payout: Distribution will be based on the volume of gas produced and the extent of post-production deductions made by the defendant, net of attorney fees, litigation expenses, administration costs, and notice and distribution costs.. The total settlement fund is $52.5M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- Is the Kunneman v Devon Energy Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at kunneman-devon.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- How long until I get paid from the Kunneman v Devon Energy Settlement?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for September 21, 2026; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
- What happens if I do nothing?
- You receive no payment, and in most class actions you also give up the right to sue Devon Energy Corp separately over these same claims. To keep that right you must opt out (exclude yourself) by August 31, 2026.
