Exhibit 99.1
Oasis Petroleum Inc. Announces Quarter Ended June 30, 2017 Earnings
Houston, Texas — August 2, 2017 — Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: OAS) (“Oasis” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and provided an operational update.
Highlights include:
Completed and placed on production 15 gross (10.8 net) operated wells in the Williston Basin in the second quarter of 2017, 60% of which were completed in June.
Produced over 66,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boepd”) in July 2017, up from 61,943 Boepd produced in the second quarter of 2017.
Expect to complete 48 gross operated wells and produce between 67,500 and 69,500 Boepd in the second half of 2017 and continue to expect to hit exit rate of 72,000 Boepd.
“Oasis is well positioned to execute our plan for the second half of 2017, as we integrate our second internal frac spread and efficiently increase completion activity,” said Taylor L. Reid, Oasis’ Director, President, and Chief Operating Officer. “Our completion design innovation across our core acreage position, including Wild Basin, Indian Hills, and Alger, continues to deliver uplifts in production, and our wells remain highly economic in the current commodity price environment.”
“The next six months represent the heart of our 2017 program and will lay the groundwork for everything to come in 2018 and beyond,” added Thomas B. Nusz, Oasis’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The quality of the asset base we have built and the strength of the team we have assembled to develop it give me great conviction around the future success of Oasis. We are confident in our ability to execute and to manage our business prudently in what continues to be a constantly changing market.”

Second quarter production was adversely impacted by additional workover activity and a completion schedule weighted towards the end of the quarter. Oasis invested incremental dollars on workovers during the latter part of the quarter, which coupled with late quarter completions, drove July production to over 66,000 Boepd.
G&A totaled $23.5 million in the second quarter of 2017, $21.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $23.8 million in the first quarter of 2017. Amortization of stock-based compensation, which is included in G&A, was $7.1 million, or $1.26 per Boe, in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $6.2 million, or $1.39 per Boe, in the second quarter of 2016 and $6.7 million, or $1.18 per Boe, in the first quarter of 2017. G&A for the Company’s E&P segment totaled $19.8 million in the second quarter of 2017, $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $20.1 million in the first quarter of 2017.
Interest expense was $36.8 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $35.0 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $36.3 million for the first quarter of 2017. Capitalized interest totaled $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2017, $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2017. Cash Interest totaled $35.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, $37.8 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $35.1 million for the first quarter of 2017. For a definition of Cash Interest and a reconciliation of interest expense to Cash Interest, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.3 million, resulting in a 12.4% effective tax rate as a percentage of its pre-tax income for the quarter. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $16.0 million, resulting in a 40.2% effective tax rate as a percentage of its pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Excluding certain non-cash items and their tax effect, Adjusted Net Loss (non-GAAP) was $11.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017, compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $19.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. For a definition of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income (Loss), see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

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 and debt discounts 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 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:
