Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Oasis Petroleum North America LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Oasis Petroleum Inc. (the
Company) has entered into a Third Amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and
Limited Waiver (the Third Amendment), dated as of January 21, 2011, among Oasis Petroleum North
America LLC, as borrower, the Company and Oasis Petroleum LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and BNP Paribas, as administrative agent (as
amended, the Amended Credit Agreement).
The Third Amendment increases the borrowing base of the Amended Credit Agreement from $120 million
to $150 million and added an additional lender to the bank group for the Amended Credit Agreement.
In connection with the Third Amendment, a redetermination of the borrowing base was completed at
the Companys request on January 21, 2011 in lieu of the scheduled April 1, 2011 semi-annual
redetermination. In addition, the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement waived
the reduction in borrowing base that otherwise would occur as a result of the Companys issuance of
senior notes pursuant to the private placement described below.
The Third Amendment also increases the limit on the Companys aggregate outstanding senior
unsecured notes from $250 million to $600 million, reduces the interest rates payable on borrowings
under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, modifies the debt coverage ratio covenant to be
net of cash and cash equivalents on the Companys balance sheet and extends the maturity date of
the Amended Credit Agreement from February 26, 2014 to February 26, 2015.
The foregoing description of the Third Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the complete text of the Third Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit
10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or
otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by
