Exhibit 99.1
Oasis Petroleum Inc. Announces Quarter Ended June 30, 2016 Earnings
Houston, Texas — August 3, 2016 — Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: OAS) (“Oasis” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and provided an operational update.
Highlights include:
Produced 49,507 Boepd in the second quarter of 2016.
Completed and placed on production 13 gross (8.7 net) operated wells in the second quarter of 2016. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had 83 gross operated wells waiting on completion.
Total capital expenditures (“CapEx”) were $131.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a 23% decrease from the second quarter of 2015. CapEx was $219.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, in line with the Company’s 2016 CapEx plan.
Reduced lease operating expenses (“LOE”) per barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”) to $7.00, a 15% decrease from the second quarter of 2015.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $91.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Adjusted EBITDA for the Company was $132.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. 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.
Income before income taxes for midstream services (“OMS”) increased to $18.0 million in the second quarter of 2016, a 19% increase from the first quarter of 2016. OMS Adjusted EBITDA was $19.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.

“Oasis delivered another strong quarter with production remaining basically flat for the seventh consecutive quarter in a row,” said Thomas B. Nusz, Oasis’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are now increasing our full year production guidance to 48,500 to 49,500 Boepd. We finished our scheduled completion program in Indian Hills during the second quarter and began completing wells in Wild Basin at the end of the quarter. Our infrastructure project in Wild Basin continues to be developed on budget, and we continue to expect the project to be fully operational this fall.”

Mr. Nusz added, “The team has further reduced our cost structure, driving down our current well costs from $6.5 million to $5.9 million and LOE from $7.84 per Boe for the year 2015 to $6.89 per Boe for the first six months of 2016. We believe that well costs still have a bias downward through further efficiency gains by the team, and we are lowering our full year LOE guidance to $6.75 to $7.50 per Boe. Our continually improved capital and operational efficiency coupled with our strong well performance in our core acreage continues to improve the trajectory of returns for Oasis. As a result, we now plan to complete 53 gross (34.3 net) wells in 2016, while continuing to operate two rigs and one frac spread and remaining within our original guidance of $200 million of drilling and completion capital. Lastly, we further reduced borrowings under our revolver from $65 million at the end of the first quarter of 2016 to $35 million at the end of the second quarter of 2016.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Cash Interest is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of the Company’s financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Cash Interest as interest expense plus capitalized interest less amortization and write-offs of deferred financing costs included in interest expense. Cash Interest is not a measure of interest expense as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of interest expense to the non-GAAP financial measure of Cash Interest for the periods presented:

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 or non-recurring 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles, or 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 and non-recurring items, including non-cash changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, impairment, and other similar non-cash and non-recurring charges, 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:

Cash settlements represent the cumulative gains and losses on the Company’s derivative instruments for the periods presented and do not include a recovery of costs that were paid to acquire or modify the derivative instruments that were settled.
(2)
As of June 30, 2016, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) includes the non-cash adjustment for amortization of deferred financing costs. Comparative periods have been conformed. The amortization of deferred financing costs are included in interest expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the amortization of deferred financing costs included $1.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for unamortized deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which were written off in proportion to the decreases in the borrowing base.
(3)
The tax impact is computed utilizing the Company’s effective tax rate applicable to the adjustments for certain non-cash and non-recurring items.
