Oasis Petroleum Inc. Announces Quarter Ending June 30, 2010 Earnings and Year-over-Year Production Growth of 240%

HOUSTON, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oasis Petroleum Inc. ("Oasis" or the "Company") today announced financial and operational results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2010 include: -- Grew average daily production to 4,461 barrels of oil equivalent ("Boe") per day for the second quarter of 2010, a 240% increase over the second quarter of 2009 and a sequential increase of 35% over the first quarter of 2010. -- Increased Adjusted EBITDA of $17.4 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $14.4 million over the second quarter of 2009. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss and net cash provided by operating activities, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measure" below. -- Completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 30.37 million primary shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $14.00 per share and received net proceeds of $399.7 million. Total basic shares outstanding are 92.0 million. -- Repaid the entire $75.0 million of borrowings under its Amended Credit Facility.

"Our recent successful IPO provides our experienced team with a clean balance sheet and the financial resources needed to continue to execute on our development plans, aggressively drill our large, multi-year inventory, and significantly grow the production within our oil-focused Williston Basin position," said Thomas B. Nusz, Oasis' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We've ramped up our program from two rigs running at the beginning of the year to four now, with three in West Williston and one in East Nesson. We have contracted our fifth operated rig and expect it to begin drilling in the West Williston area by the end of the third quarter."

Average daily production for the second quarter of 2010 was 4,461 Boe per day (98% was produced from Williston Basin properties), an increase of 240% as compared to 1,311 Boe per day in the second quarter of 2009. Sequential quarter-over-quarter production growth was 1,166 Boe per day, or 35%. In the second quarter of 2010, 94% of the production was from oil. Average daily production by project area is listed in the following table:

Average Daily Production for the Three Months Ended (Boepd): -------------------------------------- June 30, March 31, Project Area 2010 2010 Change % Change ------------ --------- ---------- ------ -------- West Williston 1,481 1,078 403 37% East Nesson 1,544 1,037 507 49% Sanish 1,364 1,084 280 26% Other (Barnett shale) 72 96 (24) -25% --- --- --- Total 4,461 3,295 1,166 35% ===== ===== =====

Average price per barrel of oil, without realized derivatives, was $67.19 in the second quarter 2010, compared to $52.48 in the second quarter of 2009 and $70.21 in the first quarter of 2010. The average price differential compared to West Texas Intermediate crude oil index prices was 14% in the second quarter 2010, compared to 13% in the second quarter of 2009 and 11% in the first quarter of 2010.

Total revenue for the second quarter 2010 was $26.7 million compared to $6.0 million for the second quarter 2009, an increase of 343%. Sequential quarter-over-quarter revenue growth was $6.6 million, or 31%.

As of December 31, 2009, Oasis had an inventory of approximately 469 gross drilling locations, primarily targeting the Bakken formation. In order to maintain better control over its asset portfolio, the Company has established a leasehold position comprised primarily of properties that it expects to operate. Oasis expects to operate 52% of the 469 identified gross drilling locations, or 83% of the 173.1 identified net drilling locations. This drilling inventory is expected to be enhanced by over 2,000 additional gross drilling locations from Bakken infill and Three Forks/Sanish ("TFS") formation potential.

The following tables show the Company's drilling activity by project area in the Williston Basin as of June 30, 2010:

Bakken/TFS Wells ---------------- West East Total Williston Nesson Sanish Williston ---------- ------- ------ Basin Producing Wells Producing on or before December 31, 2009: Gross Operated (Net) 1 (1.0) 19 (16.6) - 20 (17.6) Gross Non-Operated (Net) 24 (3.3) 24 (2.4) 62 (5.1) 110 (10.8) Production started in Q1 2010 Gross Operated (Net) - 2 (1.6) - 2 (1.6) Gross Non-Operated (Net) 3 (0.3) 2 (0.1) 13 (1.1) 18 (1.5) Production started in Q2 2010 Gross Operated (Net) 3 (2.6) 4 (3.2) - 7 (5.8) Gross Non-Operated (Net) 4 (0.6) 4 (0.4) 12 (1.0) 20 (2.0) Wells Waiting on Completion: Gross Operated (Net) 2 (1.5) 2 (1.4) - 4 (2.9) Gross Non-Operated (Net) 2 (0.5) 1 (0.1) 14 (0.8) 17 (1.4) Wells Drilling: Gross Operated (Net) 3 (2.1) 1 (0.4) - 4 (2.5) Gross Non-Operated (Net) 3 (0.2) 1 (0.01) 6 (0.4) 10 (0.6)

Lease operating expenses for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $2.9 million, or $7.21 per Boe, a 59% decrease per Boe over the second quarter of 2009 of $17.66 per Boe. Lease operating expenses decreased by $2.83 per Boe, or 28%, in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2010 of $10.04 per Boe. This sequential decrease was due primarily to increases in oil production volume as well as a higher proportion of its production sourced from Bakken wells, which have a lower operating cost than its traditional Madison wells.

Production taxes for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $2.7 million, or 10.1% of revenue. Production taxes were higher in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2010, at 9.5% of revenue, primarily due to a higher proportion of production sourced from North Dakota, which imposes a production tax rate that is higher than other areas of operations at 11.5%.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $8.8 million, or $21.63 per Boe, compared to $2.7 million, or $22.50 per Boe, in the second quarter of 2009 and $5.8 million, or $19.73 per Boe, in the first quarter of 2010.

The Company recorded a non-cash charge related to impairment of oil and natural gas properties of $7.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 and $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2010 related to unproved property leases that expired during the period. At the beginning of the year, Oasis expected to impair a portion of the $11.9 million carrying value of leases expiring in 2010, primarily in the first half of the year due to the timing of expirations.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2010 totaled $3.7 million, or $9.22 per Boe, compared to $1.3 million, or $10.88 per Boe, in the second quarter of 2009 and $3.5 million, or $11.86 per Boe, in the first quarter of 2010. The sequential increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased costs associated with the IPO and continued organizational growth to support the growing operations of the Company. Expenses associated with the IPO were $1.2 million and $0.5 million in the second and first quarters of 2010, respectively. General and administrative expenses, excluding IPO costs, would have been $6.15 per Boe and $10.16 per Boe in the second and first quarters of 2010, respectively.

In connection with Oasis' corporate reorganization completed at the time of the Company's IPO, a net deferred tax liability of $29.9 million was established for differences between the tax and book basis of its assets and liabilities and a corresponding "first day" tax expense was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The deferred tax liability is preliminary and includes significant estimates. The preliminary calculation is based on information that was available to management at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. Management has not yet analyzed the book and tax differences for its period-end accruals for capital expenditures related to its non-operated properties. This analysis is needed to determine the split between intangible drilling costs and equipment, which have differing characteristics for tax purposes. Accordingly, the deferred tax liability will change as additional information becomes available and is assessed by management, and the impact of such changes may be material. Prior to the Company's corporate reorganization, it was a limited liability company not subject to entity level income tax. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state corporate income taxes had previously been recorded as the taxable income was allocated directly to the Company's equity holders. In connection with the closing of its IPO, Oasis merged into a corporation and became subject to federal and state entity-level taxation.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 was $17.4 million, an increase of $14.4 million, or 487%, over the second quarter of 2009 and a $5.7 million, or 49% increase over the first quarter of 2010.

The Company reported a net loss of $26.4 million, or $0.29 per pro forma diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.06 per pro forma diluted share, for the second quarter of 2009. The second quarter of 2010 included a non-cash income tax expense of $29.9 million and a non-cash impairment of oil and gas properties of $7.9 million.

Capital Expenditures and Liquidity

Oasis' capital expenditures were $71.6 million for the second quarter of 2010 and $108.5 million year to date. The Company's capital expenditures for drilling, development, and acquisition and undeveloped acreage costs for the first two quarters of 2010 are summarized in the following unaudited table:

Year to date ($ in millions) Three months ended ended ------------------ ------------ March 31, June 30, Project Area 2010 2010 June 30, 2010 ---------- --------- ------------- West Williston $11.5 $39.7 $51.2 East Nesson 15.6 28.5 44.1 Sanish 9.2 3.9 13.1 Other (Barnett shale) 0.6 (0.5) 0.1 --- ---- --- Total (1) $36.9 $71.6 $108.5 ===== ===== ======

(1) Consolidated capital expenditures reflected in the table above differ from the amounts shown in the statement of cash flows in the Company's financial statements because amounts reflected in the table include changes in accrued liabilities from the previous reporting period for capital expenditures, while the amounts presented in the statement of cash flows are presented on a cash basis. The capital expenditures amount presented in the statement of cash flows also includes cash paid for other property and equipment as well as cash paid for asset retirement costs.

On June 22, 2010, the Company completed its IPO of 48.3 million shares of its common stock at $14.00 per share. In the offering, Oasis sold 30.37 million shares of common stock, and OAS Holding Company LLC, the selling stockholder, sold 17.93 million shares of common stock, including 6.3 million shares sold by the selling stockholder pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

Net proceeds received by Oasis from the offering were approximately $399.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts. Oasis used a portion of these net proceeds to repay all outstanding indebtedness, or $75 million, under its Amended Credit Facility and intends to fund its exploration and development program with the remainder of the proceeds. Oasis did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholder.

On June 30, 2010, Oasis had total cash and cash equivalents of $326.2 million and had no outstanding indebtedness under its $70 million Amended Credit Facility. On August 11, 2010, the lenders participating in Oasis' Amended Credit Facility performed a semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base and increased the borrowing base to $120 million.

Risk Management

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had the following outstanding commodity derivative contracts, all of which settle monthly:

Oasis is providing an updated outlook on its capital expenditure for the full year 2010, as it increases total net wells drilled in 2010 to 36.5 from 30.0. Capital expenditures are expected to be:

Updated Previous ($ in millions) 2010 2010 Change Budget Budget ------ ------ ------ Drilling and Completion $240 $179 +$61 Lease Acquisition 22 15 +7 Other 8 26 -18 --- --- --- Total Capital Expenditures $270 $220 +$50 ==== ==== ====

The Company's Board of Directors approved the increase in the capital budget on August 9, 2010. The increase is primarily due to the increase in total net wells drilled in 2010 and secondarily due to an increase in lease acquisition. The previous 2010 budget included "other" capital expenditures that the Company included as a contingency for additional land opportunities and potential upward pressure on drilling and completion costs, which the Company did begin to experience in the second quarter of 2010 relative to the costs used when the budget was originally set in late 2009. Accordingly, a portion of "other" capital expenditures is now included in all three operations budget categories. Total gross operated well count is planned to increase from 35 to 39 projects, with an associated increase of 3.8 net wells to a revised total of 26.2 net wells. The increase in well count is a result of acceleration based on availability of rigs and improved drilling efficiency. Non-operated drilling activity increased by 2.6 net wells to a revised total of 10.3 net wells. The bulk of the increase in non-operated activity is in the southern portion of the East Nesson acreage block and in the Whiting Sanish field. The increase in land activity is focused in and around the Company's existing core consolidated land positions, primarily in West Williston.

The following table provides Oasis' forward-looking guidance based on its updated forecasts for 2010 providing for increases associated with its revised capital expenditure budget:

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company's consolidated 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 and amortization, property impairments, exploration expenses, unrealized derivative gains and losses and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
