Oasis Petroleum Inc. Announces Quarter and Year Ending December 31, 2016 Earnings and Provides an Operational Update and its 2017 Outlook

HOUSTON, Feb. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: OAS) ("Oasis" or the "Company") today announced financial and operational results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 and provided its 2017 outlook.

Highlights

  • Average daily production was 50,372 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Boepd") in 2016 and 53,150 for the fourth quarter of 2016, despite challenging weather conditions in December. Production immediately resumed to estimated year-end 2016 exit levels of 62,000 Boepd during the first week of January 2017, as the harsh weather subsided.
  • Core inventory increased by 27%, from 607 gross undeveloped locations at December 31, 2015 to 770 gross undeveloped locations at December, 31 2016. Additionally, extended core inventory increased to 844 gross undeveloped locations as of December 31, 2016.
  • Due to increased well performance and updated activity plans, the Company is revising its 2017 and 2018 year-end exit rate guidance to 72,000 Boepd and over 83,000 Boepd, respectively. Production growth in 2017 and 2018 is expected to be within cash flow.
  • Closed on an accretive acquisition of approximately 55,000 net acres on December 1, 2016 in the Williston Basin for a purchase price of $765.8 million, subject to further customary post-close purchase price adjustments.
  • Completed and brought online the Company's natural gas processing plant and other midstream infrastructure in Wild Basin. Oasis Midstream Services ("OMS") continues to play a strategic role in the Company's ability to drive operational efficiencies, lower costs structures, and maintain volumes during periods of challenging weather conditions.
  • Increased net proved oil and natural gas reserves at December 31, 2016 by 40% to 305.1 MMBoe, which included an increase of almost 30% in net proved developed reserves and more than 60% in net proved undeveloped reserves year over year.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $228.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and $104.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $500.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and $130.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. 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 Measures" below.

"Oasis continues to deliver industry leading performance across a top tier acreage position among oil resource plays in North America," said Thomas B. Nusz, Oasis' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite the challenging commodity environment for most of 2016, the team drove down well costs and operating expenses while making significant strides on well performance. The net result has brought our capital efficiency to all-time records. With that momentum, we are increasing activity in 2017, as we already have one third-party completion crew working outside of Wild Basin, completing DUCs in the core.  Additionally, we continue to expect to bring on two additional rigs in the middle of the year and another rig early in 2018. Under our current plan, we believe we can be free cash flow positive at current strip pricing in both 2017 and 2018."

Mr. Nusz added, "In the fourth quarter of 2016 we completed three 10 million pound slickwater wells in Wild Basin and now have eight months of data on a 20 million pound slickwater job that we brought online in June. We continue to see encouraging early time results from these latest completion tests and from tests done by our peers. Early data implies EUR increases of 25% or greater above our previous 4 million pound slickwater well designs.  Accordingly, our completion plan for 2017 is migrating towards higher sand loadings and assumes an average frac size of approximately 10 million pounds of sand across approximately 50 stages."

"We have also continued to realize operational efficiencies as we develop our midstream infrastructure," said Taylor Reid, Oasis' President and Chief Operating Officer. "Our Wild Basin project came online in the fourth quarter and has been a major contributor to the success of the company. We plan to continue developing the infrastructure in 2017, including the acceleration of certain projects. We also plan to build additional midstream capacity in our other systems outside of Wild Basin, as we accelerate activity. Accordingly, we plan to spend $110 million on infrastructure capital in 2017. Our investment in OMS is accretive to our shareholders and is expected to increase OMS EBITDA to $155 million annualized by the fourth quarter of 2017."

Inventory and Leasehold Update

Oasis' total inventory increased to 3,073 gross locations, of which 770 locations are considered core, as of December 31, 2016. Core inventory increased by 27%, from 607 gross undeveloped locations at December 31, 2015 to 770 gross undeveloped locations at December, 31 2016. Additionally, extended core inventory increased to 844 gross undeveloped locations as of December 31, 2016. The Company had 83 gross operated wells awaiting completion at December 31, 2016.

Oasis ended the year with a leasehold position of 517,801 total net acres in the Williston Basin, primarily targeting the Bakken and Three Forks formations. In addition, the Company increased its acreage that is held by production to 484,321 net acres as of December 31, 2016.

2017 Plan

Highlights for 2017 include:

  • $605 million total CapEx budget
  • Completing 76 gross (51.7 net) operated wells in 2017
  • Increasing rig count from two rigs in Wild Basin to four rigs running across the core
  • Investing $110 million in OMS capital, focused on Wild Basin gathering systems, and connecting wells that come online outside of Wild Basin

CapEx (including acquisitions) reflected in the table above differs from the amounts shown in the statement of cash flows in the Company's consolidated financial statements because amounts reflected in the table above include changes in accrued liabilities from the previous reporting period for CapEx, while the amounts presented in the statement of cash flows are presented on a cash basis.

 

Estimated Net Proved Reserves

The Company's estimated net proved reserves and related PV-10 at December 31, 2016 are based on reports prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton, independent reserve engineers. In preparing its reports, DeGolyer and MacNaughton evaluated properties representing all of the Company's PV-10 at December 31, 2016 in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to companies involved in oil and natural gas producing activities (the "2016 Report"). The following reserve information does not give any effect to or reflect Oasis' commodity hedges and utilizes an average WTI oil price of $42.60 per barrel and an average natural gas price of $2.47 per MMBtu. These prices were adjusted by lease for quality, transportation fees, geographical differentials, marketing bonuses or deductions and other factors affecting the price received at the wellhead. All of the Company's estimated proved undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2016 are expected to be developed within the next five years. Oasis' estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves at December 31, 2016 were 305.1 MMBoe and consisted of 236.6 million barrels ("MMBbls") of oil and 411.1 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") of natural gas. The table below summarizes the Company's estimated net proved reserves and related PV-10 at December 31, 2016:

PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure and generally differs from Standardized Measure, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it does not include the effect of income taxes on discounted future net cash flows.

As of December 31, 2016, Oasis had cash and cash equivalents of $11.2 million. In addition, Oasis had $363.0 million of borrowings and $12.3 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under its revolving credit facility, resulting in an unused borrowing base capacity of $774.7 million as of December 31, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cash Interest

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 Reconciliations

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

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:
