Exhibit 99.1
Oasis Petroleum Inc. Announces Quarter Ended March 31, 2017 Earnings
Houston, Texas — May 8, 2017 — Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: OAS) (“Oasis” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and provided an operational update.
Highlights include:
•
Increased production to 63,192 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boepd”) in the first quarter of 2017 from 53,150 Boepd in the fourth quarter of 2016.
•
Completed and placed on production 13 gross (9.7 net) operated wells in the Williston Basin in the first quarter of 2017 and ended the quarter with 82 gross operated wells waiting on completion.
•
Total capital expenditures (“CapEx”) were $109.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
•
Increased borrowing base from $1,150.0 million to $1,600.0 million on April 10, 2017, while leaving elected commitments at $1,150.0 million.
•
At March 31, 2017, the Company had $13.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and had total liquidity of $785.8 million, including the availability under its revolving credit facility.
•
Net cash provided by operating activities was $107.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company was $150.6 million in the first quarter of 2017. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

“It was another great quarter for Oasis as the team began to execute the 2017 plan outlined in February, moving towards bigger completions and increased overall activity,” said Thomas B. Nusz, Oasis’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Oasis completed 13 gross operated wells in the quarter. All but one were completed in Wild Basin, with almost half coming online in late March. Volumes for the first quarter increased by 1,200 Boepd above our December pro forma exit rate of approximately 62,000 Boepd, implying approximately 8% annualized growth rate, within cash flow.”
Mr. Nusz added, "In an effort to improve efficiencies and minimize inflation risk, Oasis also made the decision to redeploy its second OWS frac fleet, which will return to service in the second half of this year. As the team optimizes the 2017 program that now includes two OWS fleets supplemented by third party frac spreads, completion activity in 2017 is expected to be more back half weighted. We continue to expect to hit our previously disclosed exit rates for 2017 and 2018.”

Cash Interest is not a measure of interest expense as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration expenses and other similar non-cash charges. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Interest and CapEx, excluding capitalized interest. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not measures of net income (loss) or cash flows as determined by GAAP.
The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measures of net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow for the periods presented:

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) after adjusting first for (1) the impact of certain non-cash items, including non-cash changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, impairment, and other similar non-cash charges, or non-recurring items and then (2) the non-cash and non-recurring items’ impact on taxes based on the Company’s effective tax rate applicable to those adjusting items in the same period. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and the GAAP financial measure of diluted earnings (loss) per share to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share for the periods presented:
