Discontinued Operations
On February 1, 2022, the Company completed the OMP Merger (defined in Note 10—Divestitures). The OMP Merger represented a strategic shift for the Company and qualified for reporting as a discontinued operation in accordance with FASB ASC 205-20, Presentation of financial statements – Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”). Accordingly, the results of operations of Oasis Midstream Partners LP (“OMP” or “Oasis Midstream”), a subsidiary for the period prior to closing on February 1, 2022 were classified as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of OMS, completed its initial public offering (“IPO”)Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Prior periods have been recast so that the basis of common units representing limited partner interests. As a result, the Company’s consolidated financial statements present a non-controlling interest section, which represents the public’s ownership in OMP.

Consolidation. The accompanying2022 condensed consolidated financial statements ofstatements. In addition, the Company include the accounts of Oasis, the accounts of wholly-owned subsidiaries,assets and the accountsliabilities of OMP which is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”)were classified as held for whichsale in the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Condensed Consolidated VIE. Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021. The Company has determined that the partners with equity at risk in OMP lack the authority, through voting rights or similar rights,Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were not required to direct the activities that most significantly impact OMP’s economic performance. Therefore, as the limited partners of OMP do not have substantive kick-out or substantive participating rights over OMP GP LLC (“OMP GP”), the general partner to OMP, OMP is a VIE. Through the Company’s ownership interest in OMP GP, the Company has the authority to direct the activities that most significantly affect economic performance and the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to OMP. Therefore, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates OMP and records a non-controlling interestreclassified for the interest owned by the public as of September 30, 2017.discontinued operations for any period. See Note 11—Discontinued Operations for additional information.
Risks and Uncertainties
As ana producer of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, producer, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future growth are substantially dependent upon the prevailing and future prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, which are dependent upon numerous factors beyond its control such as economic, political and regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. The energy markets have historically been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that the prices for crude oil, andNGLs or natural gas prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. AnA substantial or extended period of lowdecline in prices for crude oil and, to a lesser extent, NGLs and natural gas, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, andthe quantities of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas reserves that may be economically produced.produced and the Company’s access to capital.

Equity-based compensation. In the first quarter of 2017,Investment in unconsolidated affiliate. On February 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Improvementscompleted the OMP Merger (defined in Note 10—Divestitures) and received $160.0 million in cash and 20,985,668 common units representing limited partner interests of Crestwood Equity Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Crestwood”).

Business combinations. The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognizes amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed measured at the estimated acquisition date fair value. Transaction and integration costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.
The Company makes various assumptions in estimating the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As fair value is a market-based measurement, it is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use. The most significant assumptions relate to the estimated fair value of proved and unproved oil and gas properties, which is measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows an accounting policy electionto a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include estimates of reserves, future operating and development costs, future commodity prices and a market-based weighted average cost of capital. In addition, when appropriate, the Company reviews comparable transactions between market participants for forfeitures,the purchase and sale of oil and gas properties within the same region to measure fair value, which illustrates the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxesa willing buyer and still qualifyseller would enter into in exchange for equity classification andsuch properties.
The Company records goodwill for any amount of the classification of those taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. In accordance with the new guidance, the Company recorded a $2.7 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017, which included recognition ofconsideration transferred in excess tax benefits and deficiencies and the removal of the estimated forfeiture rate. ASU 2016-09 was appliedfair value of the net assets acquired and a bargain purchase gain for any amount of the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in excess of the consideration transferred. Deferred taxes are recorded for any difference between the acquisition date fair value and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Estimated deferred taxes are based on a modified retrospectiveavailable information concerning the tax basis of assets acquired and prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.

Inliabilities assumed and loss carryforwards at the first quarter of 2017,acquisition date, although such estimates may change in the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”), which changes the inventory measurement principle from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value for entities using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods. ASU 2015-11 was applied on a prospective basis and prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue recognition. Reference rate reform.In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is greater consistency and comparability across industries by using a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 also contains some new disclosure requirements under GAAP. In August 2015,March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14, Deferral2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effective DateEffects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2015-14”2020-04”). ASU 2015-14 defers2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform, including optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 applies only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective dateimmediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. On July 1, 2022, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide for the replacement of LIBOR with the new revenue standardSecured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), an index supported by one year, making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. In 2016 and 2017, the FASB issued additional accounting standards updates to clarify the implementation guidanceshort-term Treasury repurchase agreements. The replacement of ASU 2014-09. In order to evaluate theLIBOR with SOFR did not have a material impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s financial position, cash flows and results of operations, the Company has initiated a comprehensive review of the significant revenue streams across all reportable segments. The Company has formed an implementation team, completed training on the new standard and is assessing the impact of the five-step model of the new standard on its contracts with customers. Currently, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact the application of ASU 2014-09 will have upon its consolidated financial statements butand related disclosures. See Note 13—Long-Term Debt for additional information.

The Company records revenue when the performance obligations under the terms of its customer contracts are satisfied. For sales of commodities, the Company expectsrecords revenue in the month the production or purchased product is delivered to adopt ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach as permitted bypurchaser. However, settlement statements and payments are typically not received for 20 to 90 days after the FASB. The Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2014-09, along with industry trends and additional interpretive guidance, on its core revenue streams,date production is delivered, and as a result, of the continued assessment, the Company may modify its plan of adoption accordingly.
Financial instruments. In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which requires that most equity instruments be measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 also impacts financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 does not apply to equity method investments or investments in consolidated subsidiaries. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires a lessee to recognize lease payment obligations and a corresponding right-of-use asset to be measured at fair value on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 also requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Statement of cash flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (“ASU 2016-15”), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. The adoption of this guidance will not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations, but could result in presentation changes on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

Income taxes. In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”), to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Business combinations. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 requires entities to use a screen test to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business or if the integrated set of assets and activities needs to be further evaluated against the framework. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
Equity-based compensation. In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company is currently evaluating the impact that it will have on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
3. Oasis Midstream Partners LP
Oasis Midstream Partners LP 
OMP is a growth-oriented, fee-based master limited partnership formed by the Companyrequired to own, develop, operate and acquire a diversified portfolio of midstream assets in North America that are integral to the oil and natural gas operations of Oasis and are strategically positioned to capture volumes from other producers.
Initial Public Offering of Oasis Midstream Partners LP 
On September 25, 2017, OMP completed its IPO of 7,500,000 common units representing limited partner interests in OMP at a price to the public of $17.00 per common unit ($15.98 per common unit, net of underwriting discounts and commisions). OMP received net proceeds from the IPO of approximately $115.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts, structuring fees and estimated offering expenses and distributed $113.7 million of the net proceeds to Oasis during the third quarter of 2017. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, OMP granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,125,000additional common units (the “Underwriters’ Option”) on the same terms, which was exercised in full on October 10, 2017 and resulted in additional net proceeds of approximately $17.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and structuring fees. OMP distributed the additional net proceeds of approximately $17.9 million from the Underwriters’ Option to Oasis on October 10, 2017. The common units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol OMP.
In exchange for contributed assets, Oasis received 5,125,000 common units and13,750,000 subordinated units, representing a limited partner interest in OMP and the right to receive cash distributions from OMP. In addition to and concurrent with the closing of the IPO, OMP GP retained a non-economic general partnership interest and was issued incentive distribution rights in OMP.
Class B Units in OMP General Partner LLC
On May 22, 2017, OMP GP granted restricted Class B Units to certain employees, including OMP’s executive officers, as consideration for services to Oasis, OMP GP, and OMP, which vest over a ten-year period. The restricted Class B Units represent 10% of the outstanding units of OMP GP. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period.

Contractual Arrangements
In connection with the OMP IPO, the Company entered into several 15-year, fee-based contractual arrangements with OMP for midstream services, including (i) gas gathering, compression, processing and gas lift services; (ii) crude gathering, stabilization, blending, storage and transportation services; (iii) produced and flowback water gathering and disposal services; and (iv) freshwater supply and distribution services. In addition, the Company provides substantial labor and overhead support for OMP. Upon completion of the OMP IPO, the Company entered into a 15-year services and secondment agreement with OMP pursuant to which the Company provides all personnel, equipment, electricity, chemicals and services (including third-party services) required for OMP to operate such assets, and OMP reimburses the Company for its share of the actual costs of operating such assets. In addition, pursuant to the services and secondment agreement, the Company performs centralized corporate, general and administrative services for OMP, such as legal, corporate recordkeeping, planning, budgeting, regulatory, accounting, billing, business development, treasury, insurance administration and claims processing, risk management, health, safety and environmental, information technology, human resources, investor relations, cash management and banking, payroll, internal audit, taxes and engineering. The Company has also seconded to OMP certain of its employees to operate, construct, manage and maintain its assets, and OMP reimburses the Company for direct general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company for the provision of the above services. The expenses of executive officers and non-executive employees are allocated to OMP based onestimate the amount of time spent managingproduction that was delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. The Company uses knowledge of its businessproperties, its properties’ historical performance, spot market prices and operations.other factors as the basis for these estimates. The Company records the differences between estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales once payment is received from the purchaser. In certain cases, the Company is required to estimate these volumes during a reporting period and record any differences between the estimated volumes and actual volumes in the following reporting period. Differences between estimated and actual revenues have historically not been significant. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.
4. Inventory
Crude oil inventory includes oil in tank. Equipment and materials consist primarily of proppant, chemicals, tubular goods, well equipment to be used in future drilling or repair operations and well fracturing equipment. Crude oil inventory and equipment and materials are included in Inventory on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The minimum volume of product in a pipeline system that enables the system to operate is known as linefill and is generally not available to be withdrawn from the pipeline system until the expiration of the transportation contract. The Company owns oil linefill in third-party pipelines, which is included in Long-term inventory on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Inventory, including long-term inventory, is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined on an average cost method. The Company assesses the carrying value of inventory and uses estimates and judgment when making any adjustments necessary to reduce the carrying value to net realizable value. Among the uncertainties that impact the Company’s estimates are the applicable quality and location differentials to include in the Company’s net realizable value analysis. Additionally, the Company estimates the upcoming liquidation timing of the inventory. Changes in assumptions made as to the timing of a sale can materially impact net realizable value.

6. Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with the FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial instruments, including certain cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other payables, are carried at cost, which approximates their respective fair market values due to their short-term maturities. The Company recognizes its non-financial assets and liabilities, such as asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) and proved oil and natural gas properties acquired in a business combination or upon impairment, at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
As defined in the authoritative guidance, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). To estimate fair value, the Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable.
The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (“Level 1” measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3” measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 — Pricing inputs, other than unadjusted quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument and can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Level 3 — Pricing inputs are generally less observableunobservable from objective sources, requiring internally developed valuation methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Commodity derivative contracts. The Company enters into commodity derivative contracts to manage risks related to changes in crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices. The Company primarily utilizes fixed-price swaps, collars and collars.basis swaps to reduce the volatility of crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices on future expected production. The fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instrumentsswaps, collars and basis swaps are based uponvalued by a third-party preparer’s calculation using mark-to-market valuation reports provided by the Company’s counterparties for monthly settlement purposes to determine the valuation of its derivative instruments. The Company has the third-party preparer evaluate other readily available market prices for its derivative contracts, as there isbased on an active market for these contracts. The third-party preparer performs its independent valuation using a moment matching method similar to Turnbull-Wakeman for Asian options.income approach. The significant inputs used are crude oilcommodity prices, volatility, skew, discount rate and the contract terms of the derivative instruments. These assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the contract, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace and are therefore designated as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company compares the valuation performed by the third-party preparer’s valuationpreparer to counterparty valuation statements investigating any significant differences, and analyzes monthly valuation changes in relation to movements in crude oil and natural gas forward price curves.assess the reasonableness of its valuation. The determination of the fair value for derivative instruments also incorporates a credit adjustment for non-performance risk, as required by GAAP. The Company calculates the credit adjustment for derivatives in a net asset position using current credit default swap values for each counterparty. The credit adjustment for derivatives in a net liability position is based on the Company’s market credit spread. Based on these calculations,spread of the Company or similarly rated public issuers. The Company recorded an adjustment to reduce the fair value of its net derivative liability for these contracts by $0.5$12.1 million and $5.3 million at September 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. See Note 7—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
Transportation derivative contracts. The Company acquired two buy/sell transportation contracts in the Merger that are derivative contracts for which the Company has not elected the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion under FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company recorded these contracts at fair value in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the completion of the Merger on July 1, 2022, with additional adjustments to fair value recorded as of September 30, 2022. These transportation derivative contracts were valued based on an adjustmentincome approach, which considers various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, market differentials for crude oil and either the Company’s or the counterparty’s nonperformance risk, as appropriate. The assumptions used in the valuation of these contracts include certain market differential metrics that are unobservable during the term of the contracts. Such unobservable inputs are significant to reducethe contract valuation methodology, and the contracts’ fair values are therefore designated as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
Contingent consideration. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement entered into in connection with the Company’s divestiture of its net derivative liability by $2.0E&P assets in the Permian Basin in 2021, the Company is entitled to receive up to three earn-out payments of $25.0 million at December 31, 2016per year for each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 if the average daily settlement price of NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil price index (“NYMEX WTI”) exceeds $60 per barrel for such year (the “Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration”).
There were no transfers between If NYMEX WTI for calendar year 2023 or 2024 is less than $45 per barrel, then each calendar year thereafter the buyer’s obligation to make any remaining earn-out payments is terminated. The fair value levels duringof the nine months endedPermian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration was determined by a third-party valuation specialist using a Monte Carlo simulation model and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck pricing process. The significant inputs include NYMEX WTI forward price curve, volatility, mean reversion rate and counterparty credit risk adjustment. The Company determined these were Level 2 fair value inputs that are substantially observable in active markets or can be derived from observable data. See Note 7—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
Investment in unconsolidated affiliate. The Company elected the fair value option to account for its investment in Crestwood. The fair value of the Company’s investment in Crestwood was determined using Level 1 inputs based upon the quoted market price of Crestwood’s publicly traded common units at September 30, 20172022. As of the closing date of the OMP Merger (defined in Note 10—Divestitures) on February 1, 2022, fair value was determined using Level 2 inputs that included a discount to reflect a restriction on the Company's ability to sell the investment 90 days from the closing date. See Note 12—Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate for additional information.

Non-Financial Assets and 2016.Liabilities

The fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are determined using valuation techniques that include Level 3 inputs.
Asset retirement obligations. The initial measurement of ARO at fair value is recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred. Fair value is determined by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows related to the liability. Estimating the future ARO requires management to make estimates and judgments regarding the timing and existence of a liability, as well as what constitutes adequate restoration when considering current regulatory requirements. Inherent in the fair value calculation are numerous assumptions and judgments, including the ultimate costs, inflation factors, credit-adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, environmental and regulatory environments.
Whiting merger. On July 1, 2022, the Company completed the Merger with Whiting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of July 1, 2022. The fair value of Whiting’s oil and gas properties was calculated using an income approach based on the net discounted future cash flows from the producing properties and related assets. The inputs utilized in the valuation of the oil and gas properties and related assets acquired included mostly unobservable inputs which fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such inputs included estimates of future oil and gas production from the properties’ reserve reports, commodity prices based on forward strip price curves (adjusted for basis differentials), operating and development costs, expected future development plans for the properties and the utilization of a discount rate based on a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. The Company also recorded the asset retirement obligations assumed from Whiting at fair value. The inputs utilized in valuing the asset retirement obligations were mostly Level 3 unobservable inputs, including estimated economic lives of oil and natural gas wells as of July 1, 2022, anticipated future plugging and abandonment costs and an appropriate credit-adjusted risk-free rate to discount such costs. See Note 9—Acquisitions for additional information.
7. Derivative Instruments
Commodity derivative contracts. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage risks related to changes in crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices. The Company’s crude oil and natural gas contracts will settle monthly based on the average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oilWTI. NGL contracts settle monthly based on the average Mont Belvieu propane or Conway propane index price (“WTI”) andprices, as applicable. Natural gas contracts settle monthly based on the average NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas index price (“Henry Hub”NYMEX HH”), respectively. At September 30, 2017,while natural gas basis swaps settle monthly based on the average fixed differential between NYMEX HH and the Northern Natural Gas Ventura (“NNG Ventura”) index price.
The Company utilizedprimarily utilizes fixed-price swaps, collars and two-way and three-way costless collar optionsbasis swaps to reduce the volatility of crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices on a significant portion of its future expected oil and natural gas production. A swap isSwaps are designed to establish a sold callfixed-price for the volumes under contract, while collars are designed to establish a minimum price (floor) and a purchased put established at the samemaximum price (both ceiling and floor), which the Company will receive(ceiling) for the volumes under contract.

The purchased put establishes a minimum price (floor)fixed differential between NYMEX and the sold call establishes a maximum price (ceiling) the Company will receive for the volumes under contract. A three-way collar is a combination of options: a sold call, a purchased put and a sold put. The purchased put establishes a minimum price (floor), unless the market price falls below the sold put (sub-floor), at which point the minimum price would be the NYMEX index price plusreferenced in the difference betweencontract. The Company may, from time to time, restructure existing derivative contracts or enter into new transactions to effectively modify the purchased put andterms of current contracts in order to improve the sold put strike price. The sold call establishes a maximum price (ceiling) the Company will receive for the volumes under contract.pricing parameters in existing contracts.
All derivative instruments are recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value (see Note 6 – 6—Fair Value Measurements). The Company has not designated any derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes and does not enter into such instruments for speculative trading purposes. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge or is not designated as a hedge,The Company records the changes in fair value are recognized in the other income (expense) section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a net gain or loss on derivative instruments. The Company’s cash flow is only impacted when the actualDerivative settlements under the derivative contracts result in making a payment to or receiving a payment from the counterparty. These cash settlements represent the cumulative gains and losses on the Company’s commodity derivative instruments and do not include a recovery of costs that were paid to acquire or modify the derivative instruments that were settled. Cash settlementscontracts are reflected as investing activities inon the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.Flows and represent net cash payments to or receipts from counterparties upon the maturity of a derivative contract.

Transportation derivative contracts. The Company acquired two contracts in the Merger that provide for the transportation of crude oil through a buy/sell structure from North Dakota to either Cushing, Oklahoma or Guernsey, Wyoming. The contracts require the purchase and sale of fixed volumes of crude oil through July 2024 as specified in the agreements. At July 1, 2022, upon the closing of the Merger, the Company determined that these contracts qualified as derivatives and did not elect the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion. The fair value of these transportation derivative contracts as of July 1, 2022 was estimated to be a liability of $22.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of these contracts was $15.1 million, of which $10.4 million was classified as a current derivative liability and $4.7 million was classified as a non-current derivative liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (see Note 6—Fair Value Measurements). The Company records the changes in fair value of these contracts to gathering, processing and transportation expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Settlements on these contracts are reflected as operating activities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and represent cash payments to the counterparties for transportation of crude oil or the net settlement of contract liabilities if the transportation was not utilized, as applicable.
Contingent consideration. The Company bifurcated the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration from the host contract and accounted for it separately at fair value. The fair value of the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration was estimated to be $32.9 million as of the close date of the Permian Basin Sale (defined in Note 10—Divestitures). The Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration is marked-to-market each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the other income (expense) section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a net gain or loss on derivative instruments. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration was $52.1 million and was classified as a non-current derivative asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 6—Fair Value Measurements and Note 10—Divestitures for additional information.

In accordance with the FASB’s authoritative guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities, the Company is required to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. The Company’s derivative instruments are presented as assets and liabilities on a net basis by counterparty, as all counterparty contracts provide for net settlement. No margin or collateral balances are deposited with counterparties, and as such, gross amounts are offset to determine the net amounts presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

__________________ 
(1)Includes discontinued intercompany eliminations.
(2)The Company applied the intraperiod tax allocation rules in accordance with FASB ASC 740-20, Intraperiod Tax Allocation (“ASC 740-20”) to determine the allocation of tax expense between continuing operations and discontinued operations. ASC 740-20 generally requires the allocation of tax expense to be based on a comparative calculation of tax expense with and without income from discontinued operations. Prior to the release of a portion of the Company’s valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2022 (see Note 15—Income Taxes for additional information), the Company recorded $41.2 million of income tax expense attributable to discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company released a portion of its valuation allowance and allocated the majority of the income tax benefit associated with the release of the valuation allowance to continuing operations. The total tax expense associated with the OMP Merger was partially offset by the release of the valuation allowance allocated to discontinued operations, resulting in an incremental tax expense of $59.9 million recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2022, since a smaller portion of the deferred tax liabilities reported in discontinued operations is being offset with deferred tax assets.

15. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172022 was 31.5%(0.1)% and 41.2%, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the(0.3)% of pre-tax income from continuing operations, respectively, as compared to an effective tax rate was lower than the combined federal statutory rate and the statutory rates for the states in which the Company conducts business due to the portion of OMP’s earnings allocated to the non-controlling public limited partners, which are not subject to tax for the Company, and the permanent differences related to amounts expensed for book purposes versus the amounts deductible for0.0% of pre-tax income tax purposes related to equity-based compensation vesting at prices lower than the grant date values. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the effective tax rate was higher than the combined federal statutory rate and the statutory rates for the states in which the Company conducts business due to the permanent differences related to amounts expensed for book purposes versus the amounts deductible for income tax purposes related to equity-based compensation vesting at prices higher than the grant date values and non-deductible compensation, offset by the portion of OMP’s earnings allocated to the non-controlling public limited partners, which are not subject to tax for the Company.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 33.0% and 34.0%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the effective tax rates were lower than the combined federal statutory rate and the statutory rates for the states in which the Company conducts business due to the impact of permanent differences on pre-tax loss for these periods. The permanent differences for these periods were primarily between amounts expensed for book purposes versus the amounts deductible for income tax purposes related to equity-based compensation vesting at prices lower than the grant date values during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
12. Equity-Based Compensation
Restricted stock awards.The Company has granted restricted stock awards to employees and directors under its Amended and Restated 2010 Long Term Incentive Plan, the majority of which vest over a three-year period. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, employees and non-employee directors of the Company were granted restricted stock awards equal to 1,624,810 shares of common stock with a $15.08 weighted average grant date per share value. Equity-based compensation expense recorded for restricted stock awardsfrom continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $4.9 million and $15.2 million, respectively, and $4.8 million and $15.5 million2021.
The effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. 2022 and 2021 were lower than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of the Company’s valuation allowance, a majority of which was released as of September 30, 2022. This benefit was partially offset by the impacts of state income taxes.
The Company initially recorded a valuation allowance against substantially all of its net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2020. As of each reporting date, the Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of temporary differences, tax-planning strategies and future taxable income, to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize its deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective positive evidence that the Company has evaluated is the cumulative income earned during the periods since the Company and Whiting each emerged from voluntary restructuring under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in 2020. This source of objective positive evidence, combined with the indefinite lives for many of the Company’s deferred tax assets and projections of future taxable income led the Company to determine that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the majority of its net deferred tax assets and release a portion of the valuation allowance previously recorded. The Company applied the intraperiod tax allocation rules in accordance with ASC 740-20 and allocated a portion of the income tax benefit associated with the release of the valuation allowance to continuing operations.
On July 1, 2022, the Company completed the Merger (see Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information), which qualified as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company recognized a net deferred tax asset of $250.2 million in its purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date to reflect the difference between the tax basis and the fair value of Whiting’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The net deferred tax asset includes the tax effected benefit of federal net operating loss carryforwards of $1.1 billion that were acquired in the Merger and are subject to an annual limitation of $7.0 million under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Upon completion of the Merger, both the Company and Whiting experienced an “ownership change” as defined by the Code; however, the limitations anticipated as a result of these ownership changes are not expected to have a material impact on the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Determining the limitations under Section 382 of the Code is technical and highly complex, and upon future analysis the Company may determine that its ability to take advantage of its net operating loss carryforwards or other tax benefits may be limited to a greater extent than currently anticipated.
The Company’s estimated valuation allowance as of September 30, 2022 was $133.3 million, which decreased $266.5 million from $399.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company expects to release the majority of the remaining valuation allowance through the annualized effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2022 and anticipates maintaining a valuation allowance of approximately $9 million against state net operating losses acquired in the Merger.

Upon completion of the Merger, the Whiting RSUs and PSUs were subject to time-based vesting criteria. The fair value of the RSU and PSU awards assumed by the Company was $73.3 million, including $27.4 million that was attributable to pre-Merger services and $5.1recorded as a part of the consideration transferred and $45.9 million respectively,that is attributable to post-Merger services that will be recognized as equity-based compensation expense in the post-combination period.

The number of PSUs to be earned iswas initially subject to a market condition which isthat was based on a comparison of the total shareholder return (“TSR”) achieved with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock against the TSR achieved by a defined peer group at the end of the applicable performance periods.periods, with 50% of the PSU awards eligible to be earned based on performance relative to a certain group of the Company’s oil and gas peers and 50% of the PSU awards eligible to be earned based on performance relative to the broad-based Russell 2000 index. Depending on the Company’s TSR performance relative to the defined peer group, award recipients willcould earn between 0% and 200%150% of target. Pursuant to the PSU award agreements, the number of PSUs earned was certified at the greater of (i) target performance and (ii) actual achievement of the initial PSUs granted. All compensation expense related toperformance criteria measured based on the PSUs will be recognized if the requisitetruncated performance period is fulfilled, even if the market condition is not achieved.
The aggregate grant date fair value of the market-based awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model uses assumptions regarding random projections and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. The key valuation assumptions for the Monte Carlo model are the forecast period, initial value, risk-free interest rate, volatility and correlation coefficients. The risk-free interest rates are the U.S. Treasury bond rates on the date of grant that correspond to each performance period. The initial value is the average of the volume weighted average prices for the 30 trading daysending immediately prior to the starteffective time of the performance cycle for the Company and each of its peers. Volatility was calculated from the daily historical returns of 30-day volume weighted average stock prices over a historical period for the Company and each of its peers.“change in control.” The correlation coefficients are measurescompletion of the strength of the linear relationship betweenMerger on July 1, 2022 represented a “change in control” such that 250,009 PSUs were earned by award recipients and amongst the Company and its peers estimated based on historical stock price data.converted into time-based awards.

The following assumptionsNo PSUs were used for the Monte Carlo model to determine the grant date fair value and associated equity-based compensation expense of the PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017:
Risk-free interest rate1.18% - 1.66%
Oasis volatility17.16%
OMPunit-based compensation.In2022. During the nine months ended September 2017, OMP GP adopted30, 2021, the Oasis Midstream Partners LP 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (“OMP LTIP”). The OMP LTIP provides for the grant, from time to time at the discretion of the board of directors of OMP GP, of options, unit appreciation rights, restricted units, phantom units, unit awards, substitute awards, other unit-based awards or cash awards and includes any tandem distribution equivalent rights with respect to certain awards. The purpose of awards under the OMP LTIP is to provide additional incentive compensation to individuals providing services to OMP, and to align the economic interests of such individuals with the interests of OMP’s unitholders.
The aggregate number of common units that may be issued pursuant to any and all awards under the OMP LTIP shall initially be equal to 1,842,500 common units, subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of unit splits and similar events. Additionally, each year, the total number of common units that may be issued pursuant to the OMP LTIP shall increase by 1% of the number of common units outstanding on a fully diluted basis (calculated by adding to the number of common units outstanding, all outstanding securities convertible into common units on such date on an as-converted basis). Common units subject to awards that are canceled, forfeited, withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations or otherwise terminated without delivery of common units will be available for delivery pursuant to other awards.
In connection with the OMP IPO, certain directors of OMP wereCompany granted 11,766 restricted unit awards which vest over a one-year period183,915 PSUs with a weighted average grant date per share value of $63.95.
Leveraged stock units. The Company has granted LSUs to certain employees under the 2020 LTIP. LSUs are contingent shares that may be earned over a three-year or four-year performance period. The number of LSUs to be earned was initially subject to a market condition, which was based on the TSR performance of the Company’s common stock measured against specific premium return objectives. Depending on the Company’s TSR performance, award recipients could earn between 0% and 300% of target; however, the number of shares delivered in respect to these awards during the grant cycle could not exceed ten times the fair value of $17.00the award on the grant date. Pursuant to LSU award agreements, the number of LSUs earned was certified at the greater of (i) target performance and (ii) actual achievement of the performance criteria measured based on the truncated performance period ending immediately prior to the effective time of the “change in control.” The completion of the Merger on July 1, 2022 represented a “change in control” such that 787,218 LSUs were earned by award recipients and converted into time-based awards.
No LSUs were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 262,406 LSUs with a weighted average grant date per share value of $78.79.
Unvested equity awards. At September 30, 2022, there were 1,417,189 outstanding and unvested equity-based compensation awards (including equity awards assumed in the Merger), all of which are time-based awards subject to vesting over applicable service periods.

(1)Represents the number of warrants in terms of shares of Chord common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were 98,518 and 626,998 warrants exercised, respectively.
(2)The exercise price of legacy Whiting warrants was adjusted in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
Legacy Oasis warrants. On November 19, 2020, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement with Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company N.A., as warrant agent. The warrants, which are indexed to the Company’s common stock and are classified as equity, awards, pursuantare exercisable until November 19, 2024, at which time all unexercised warrants will expire and the rights of the holders of such warrants to purchase common stock will terminate. In the event that a holder of a warrant elects to exercise their option to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, the warrant is required to be settled through physical settlement or net share settlement.
The warrants were initially exercisable for a price of $94.57 per warrant. The number of shares of Chord common stock for which a warrant is exercisable and the exercise prices are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, reverse stock splits or stock dividends to holders of common stock or a reclassification in respect of common stock. Pursuant to the FASB’s authoritative guidanceterms of the Warrant Agreement, the exercise price per warrant decreased to $75.57 per warrant effective June 30, 2022 in connection with the payment of the Special Dividend.
No holder of a warrant, by virtue of holding or having a beneficial interest in a warrant, will have the right to vote, receive dividends, receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or exercise any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of Chord unless, until and only to the extent such holders become holders of record of shares of Chord common stock issued upon settlement of the warrants.
Assumed Whiting warrants. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all of Whiting’s outstanding warrants immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were assumed by the Company at the closing of the Merger. Prior to the Merger, each legacy Whiting warrant was exercisable for one share of Whiting common stock. Following the completion of the Merger and the Company’s assumption of the legacy Whiting warrants, each such warrant was exercisable for 0.5774 shares of the Company’s common stock, which reflects an adjustment in accordance with the exchange ratio under the Merger Agreement. Also, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the exercise price of each such legacy Whiting warrant per share of the Company’s common stock was adjusted to equal the quotient of (x) the exercise price of such warrant per share of Whiting common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger less $6.25 divided by (y) the exchange ratio of 0.5774.

Therefore, as a result of the completion of the Merger on July 1, 2022, the Company assumed (i) 4,833,455 legacy Whiting Series A Warrants which were exercisable for an aggregate amount of 2,790,837 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $116.37 per share and (ii) 2,418,832 legacy Whiting Series B Warrants which were exercisable for an aggregate amount of 1,396,634 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $133.70 per share.
In the event that a holder of Whiting warrants elects to exercise their option to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company shall issue a net number of exercised shares of common stock. The net number of exercised shares is calculated as (i) the number of Whiting warrants exercised multiplied by (ii) the difference between the 30 day daily volume weighted average price of the common stock leading up to the exercise date and the relevant exercise price, calculated as a percentage of the current market price on the exercise date.
The legacy Whiting Series A Warrants are exercisable until September 1, 2024 and the legacy Whiting Series B Warrants are exercisable until September 1, 2025, at which respective times all unexercised Whiting warrants will expire and the rights of the holders of such Whiting warrants to acquire common stock will terminate. Pursuant to the Whiting warrant agreements, no holder of a Whiting warrant, by virtue of holding or having a beneficial interest in a Whiting warrant, will have the right to vote, receive dividends, receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors or any other matter, or exercise any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of Chord unless, until and only to the extent such holders become holders of record of shares of Chord common stock issued upon settlement of the Whiting warrants.
The number of shares of Chord common stock for which a Whiting warrant is exercisable and the exercise prices are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, reverse stock splits or stock dividends to holders of common stock or a reclassification in respect of common stock.
18. Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share under the two-class method. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company granted RSUs to non-employee directors which include non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered “participating securities.” Accordingly, effective September 30, 2022, the Company has computed earnings per share under the two-class earnings allocation method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that computes earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
Basic earnings per share amounts have been computed as (i) net income (loss) (ii) less distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (iii) divided by the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share amounts have been computed as (i) basic net income attributable to common stockholders (ii) plus the reallocation of distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (iii) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the periods presented. The Company calculates diluted earnings per share under both the two-class method and treasury stock method and reports the more dilutive of the two calculations.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:

13. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) attributable to Oasis common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding$1.52 and $5.07 for the periods presented. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the potential dilutive impact of unvested restricted stock awards and contingently issuable shares related to PSUs and senior convertible notes during the periods presented, unless their effect is anti-dilutive. There are no adjustments made to the income (loss) attributable to Oasis available to common stockholders in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

The Company issued its Senior Convertible Notes in September 2016 (see Note 9 – Long-Term Debt). The Company has the option to settle conversions of its Senior Convertible Notes with cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and common stock at its election. The Company’s intent is to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. As a result, only the amount by which the conversion value exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the notes (conversion spread) is considered in the diluted earnings per share computation under the treasury stock method. As of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the conversion value did not exceed the principal amount of the notes, and accordingly, there was no impact to diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.2021, respectively.
14. Business Segment Information
The Company’s exploration and production segment is engaged in the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties. Revenues for the exploration and production segment are derived from the sale of oil and natural gas production. The Company’s midstream services business segment (OMS) performs produced and flowback water gathering and disposal services, fresh water services, natural gas gathering and processing and crude oil gathering and transportation and other midstream services for the Company’s oil and natural gas wells operated by OPNA. Revenues for the midstream segment are primarily derived from produced and flowback water pipeline transport, produced and flowback water disposal, fresh water sales, natural gas gathering and processing and crude oil gathering, blending, stabilization and transportation. The Company’s well services business segment (OWS) performs completion services for the Company’s oil and natural gas wells operated by OPNA. Revenues for the well services segment are derived from providing well services, product sales and equipment rentals. The revenues and expenses related to work performed by OMS and OWS for OPNA’s working interests are eliminated in consolidation, and only the revenues and expenses related to non-affiliated working interest owners are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These segments represent the Company’s three operating units, each offering different products and services. The Company’s corporate activities have been allocated to the supported business segments accordingly.

Management evaluates the performance of the Company’s business segments based on operating income. The following table summarizes financial information for the Company’s three business segments for the periods presented:

15.19. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has various contractual obligations in the normal course of its operations. As of September 30, 2017,2022, the Company’s material off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions include $5.9 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility and $8.0 million in net surety bond exposure issued as financial assurance on certain agreements.
As of September 30, 2022, there have been no material changes to the Company’s future commitments asand contingencies disclosed in Note 1622 — Commitments and Contingencies in the Company’s 20162021 Annual Report.Report, except as set forth below.
Litigation.Volume commitment agreements. In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed certain agreements with an aggregate requirement to deliver a minimum quantity of crude oil from the Company’s Sanish field in Mountrail County, North Dakota through June 2024. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had remaining commitments to deliver approximately 12.3 million barrels (“MMBbl”) of crude oil under these agreements. The Company is partybelieves its production and reserves at the Sanish field are sufficient to various legal and/or regulatory proceedings from timefulfill this delivery commitment, and therefore expects to time arisingavoid any payments for deficiencies under this contract.
Additionally, the Company assumed two buy/sell transportation agreements with an aggregate requirement to deliver a minimum quantity of crude oil through July 2024. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had remaining commitments to deliver approximately 4.7 MMBbl of crude oil under these agreements. The Company recorded the fair value of these agreements as derivative liabilities in the ordinary courseCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of business. WhenSeptember 30, 2022. See Note 7—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
Lease commitments. In connection with the Merger, the Company determinesassumed approximately $15.1 million of operating lease

liabilities for office buildings and operating equipment with lease terms through 2030 and approximately $1.6 million of finance lease liabilities for vehicles with lease terms through 2026.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy claims. On April 1, 2020, Whiting and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Debtors”) commenced voluntary cases (the “Whiting Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On June 30, 2020, the Debtors filed their proposed Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Whiting and its Debtor affiliates (as amended, modified and supplemented, the “Whiting Plan”). On August 14, 2020, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) confirmed the Whiting Plan and on September 1, 2020, the Debtors satisfied all conditions required for Plan effectiveness and emerged from the Whiting Chapter 11 Cases.
The filing of the Whiting Chapter 11 Cases allowed Whiting to, upon approval of the Bankruptcy Court, assume, assign or reject certain contractual commitments, including certain executory contracts. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such contract and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves Whiting from performing future obligations under such contract but entitles the counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. The claims resolution process is ongoing and certain of these claims remain subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. To the extent that a loss is probable of occurring and is reasonably estimable,the Bankruptcy Court allows any unsecured claims against the Company, accrues an undiscounted liability for such contingencies based on its best estimate using information available at the time. The Company discloses contingencies where an adverse outcomeclaims may be material,satisfied through an issuance of the Company’s common stock or inother remedy or agreement under and pursuant to the judgmentWhiting Plan. In connection with the closing of management, the matter should otherwise be disclosed.
Mirada litigation.On March 23, 2017, Mirada Energy, LLC, Mirada Wild Basin Holding Company, LLC and Mirada Energy Fund I, LLC (collectively, “Mirada”) filed a lawsuit against Oasis, OPNA and Oasis Midstream Services LLC, seeking monetary damages in excess of $100 million, declaratory relief, attorneys’ fees and costs (Mirada Energy, LLC, et al. v. Oasis Petroleum North America LLC, et al.; in the 334th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas; Case Number 2017-19911). Mirada asserts that it is a working interest owner in certain acreage owned and operated byMerger on July 1, 2022, the Company in Wild Basin. Specifically, Mirada asserts that the Company has breached certain agreements by: (1) failing to allow Mirada to participate in the Company’s midstream operations in Wild Basin; (2) refusing to provide Mirada with information that Mirada contends is required under certain agreements and failing to provide information in a timely fashion; (3) failing to consult with Mirada and failing to obtain Mirada’s consent prior to drilling more than one well at a time in Wild Basin; and (4) by overstating the estimated costs of proposed well operations in Wild Basin. Mirada seeks a declaratory judgment that the Company be removed as operator in Wild Basin at Mirada’s election and that Mirada be allowed to elect a new operator; certain agreements apply to the Company and Mirada and Wild Basin with respect to this dispute; the Company be required to provide all information within its possession regarding proposed or ongoing operations in Wild Basin; and the Company not be permitted to drill, or propose to drill, more than one well at a time in Wild Basin without obtaining Mirada’s consent. Mirada also seeks a declaratory judgmentassumed Whiting’s obligations with respect to the Company’s current midstream operations in Wild Basin. Specifically, Mirada seeks a declaratory judgment that MiradaWhiting Plan and, accordingly, has a rightreserved 1,224,840 shares of common stock for potential future distribution to participatecertain general unsecured claimants whose claim values are pending resolution in the Company’s Wild Basin midstream operations, consisting of produced water disposal, crude oil gatheringBankruptcy Court.
Arguello Inc. and gas gatheringFreeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC. Whiting Oil and processing; that, upon Mirada’s election to participate, Mirada is obligated to pay its proportionate costs of the Company’s midstream operations in Wild Basin; and that Mirada would then be entitled to receiveGas Corporation (“WOG”), a share of revenues from the midstream operations and would not be charged any amount for its use of these facilities for production from the “Contract Area.”
On June 30, 2017, Mirada amended its original petition to add a claim that the Company has breached certain agreements by charging Mirada for midstream services provided by its affiliates and to seek a declaratory judgment that Mirada is entitled to be paid its share of total proceeds from the sale of hydrocarbons received by OPNA or any affiliate of OPNA without deductions for midstream services provided by OPNA or its affiliates.
The Company believes that Mirada’s claims are without merit, that the Company has complied with its obligations under the applicable agreements and that some of Mirada’s claims are grounded in agreements which do not apply to the Company. The Company filed an answer denying Mirada’s claims on April 21, 2017, and intends to vigorously defend against Mirada’s claims. Discovery is ongoing, and trial is currently scheduled for July 2018. However, the Company cannot predict or guarantee the ultimate outcome or resolution of such matter. If such matter were to be determined adversely to the Company’s interests, or if the Company were forced to settle such matter for a significant amount, such resolution or settlement could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Such an adverse determination could materially impact the Company’s ability to operate its properties in Wild Basin or develop its identified drilling locations in Wild Basin on its current development schedule. A determination that Mirada has a right to participate in the Company’s midstream operations could materially reduce the interestswholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had interests in their current assetsfederal oil and future midstream opportunities and related revenues in Wild Basin.

16. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
The Notes (see Note 9 – Long-Term Debt) are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors, which are 100% owned by the Company. These guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several among the Guarantors. Certain of the Company’s operating units, including OMP (see Note 3 – Oasis Midstream Partners LP), which is accounted for on a consolidated basis, do not guarantee the Notes (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).
The following financial information reflects consolidating financial information of the parent company, Oasis Petroleum Inc. (“Issuer”), its Guarantors on a combined basis and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis, prepared on the equity basis of accounting. The information is presented in accordance with the requirements of Rule 3-10 under the SEC’s Regulation S-X. The financial information may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations, cash flows or financial position had the Guarantors operated as independent entities. The Company has not presented separate financial and narrative information for each of the Guarantors because it believes such financial and narrative information would not provide any additional information that would be material in evaluating the sufficiency of the Guarantors.

17. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated the period after the balance sheet date, noting no subsequent events or transactions that required recognition or disclosuregas leases in the financial statements, other than as previously disclosed or noted below.
Derivative instruments.In October 2017,Point Arguello Unit located offshore in California. While those interests have expired, pursuant to certain related agreements (the “Point Arguello Agreements”), WOG was subject to certain abandonment and decommissioning obligations prior to WOG and Whiting rejecting the Company entered into a new swap for natural gas which settles based on Henry Hub. The commodity contract included a total notional amount of 730,000 MMBtu with a weighted average floor price of $3.07 per MMBtu which settles in 2018. This derivative instrument does not qualify for and was not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
Lease obligations.related contracts pursuant to the Whiting Plan. On October 1, 2017, the Company executed an amendment to its office space lease agreement to extend its term to March 31, 20292020, Arguello Inc. and to lease an additional 8,915 square feet of space within its current office building. This amendment increased the Company’s total future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable leases for office space to $33.3 million. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company’s rental obligation for the new premises will begin upon occupancy of such premises for the purpose of conducting business therefrom, which is projected to be in April 2018 or earlier.
Credit facility borrowing base. On October 17, 2017, the Lenders completed their regular semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base of the Second Amended Credit Facility, resulting in the borrowing baseFreeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC, individually and the aggregate elected commitment reaffirmed at $1,600.0 million and $1,150.0 million, respectively. The next redetermination of the Company’s borrowing base is scheduled for April 1, 2018.
OMP LTIP phantom unit grant. On October 19, 2017 (the “Grant Date”), OMP granted awards under the OMP LTIP of 101,500 phantom units (collectively, the “Phantom Units,” and each a “Phantom Unit”) to certain employees of Oasis. Each Phantom Unit represents the right to receive, upon vesting of the award, a cash payment equal to the fair market value of one OMP common unit on the day prior to the date it vests (the “Vesting Date”). Award recipients are also entitled to Distribution Equivalent Rights (a “DER”) with respect to each Phantom Unit received. Each DER represents the right to receive, upon vesting of the award, a cash payment equal to the value of the distributions paid on one OMP common unit between the Grant Date and the applicable Vesting Date. Each award of Phantom Units vests in equal amounts each year over a three-year period, and compensation expense will be recognized over the requisite service period.
Consent and Tenth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On November 6, 2017, the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Oasis Credit Facility, pursuant to which the Lenders consented to (i) the termination of the limited recourse guaranty agreements by and between each of Beartooth DevCo LLC and Bobcat DevCo LLC (collectively, the “DevCos,” and each a “DevCo”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), under the Oasis Credit Facility and (ii) the termination and release of each DevCo’s DevCo Mortgage (as defined in the Amendment). Further, OMS, in its capacity as the majority ownerdesignated Point Arguello Unit operator (collectively, the “FMOG Entities”) filed with the Bankruptcy Court an application for allowance of eachcertain administrative claims arguing the FMOG Entities were entitled to recover Whiting’s proportionate share of decommissioning obligations owed to the U.S. government through subrogation to the U.S. government’s economic rights. The FMOG Entities’ application alleged administrative claims of approximately $25 million for estimated decommissioning costs owed to the U.S. government, at least $60 million of estimated decommissioning costs owed to the FMOG Entities and claims for certain other immaterial amounts. On September 14, 2020, the FMOG Entities also filed with the Bankruptcy Court proofs of claim for rejection damages to serve as an alternative course of action in the event that a court should determine that the FMOG Entities do not hold any applicable administrative claims. The U.S. Government may also be able to bring claims against WOG directly for decommissioning costs. On February 18, 2021, WOG entered into a stipulation and agreed order with the United States Department of the DevCos, entered into the Undertaking Agreements with the Administrative Agent pursuant to which OMS agreed to limitations on the activitiesInterior, Bureau of each DevCo, including, but not limited to, the incurrence of indebtedness, asset acquisitions or dispositions, investments, mergers, issuance of additional equity interests, creation of liens on any DevCo assets or entry into any agreement that would restrict or prohibit the granting of liens on any DevCo assets, loans or advances to other persons, entry into any transaction with an affiliate, formation of a subsidiary and entry into any swap or similar derivative transactionSafety & Environmental Enforcement (the “DevCo Covenants”“BSEE”). OMS further agreed to cause corresponding amendments to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of each DevCo to implement the DevCo Covenants and to require unanimous member approval for any amendment to the DevCo Covenants.
Assignment of contract for construction of natural gas processing plant. On November 6, 2017, OMS agreed to assign to Bighorn DevCo LLC an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of OMP, the construction of a second gas processing plant to support Oasis’s production. Pursuant to this assignment, Bighorn DevCo LLC has agreed to assume (i) a fixed price agreement for engineering, procurement and construction of a 200 million standard cubic feet per day natural gas processing plant (the “EPC Agreement” and “Gas Plant II,” respectively), (ii) title to Gas Plant II and the ancillary equipment being constructed under the EPC Agreement, and (iii) a master service agreement and work orders pursuant to which the contractor has agreedBSEE withdrew its proofs of claims against Whiting and WOG and acknowledged their respective rights and obligations pursuant to provide mechanical refrigeration unitsthe Whiting Plan. On March 26, 2021, the FMOG Entities withdrew their administrative claim for the recovery of Whiting’s proportionate share of costs incurred after August 31, 2020 to support Gas Plant II’s operation. In addition, OMP has agreedfulfill obligations owed to reimburse OMSthe U.S. government on the basis of subrogation to the U.S. government’s economic rights. The FMOG Entities continued to assert certain other administrative claims and reserved the right to assert claims for the recovery of Whiting’s share of the decommissioning costs incurred after August 31, 2020 based on the theory of equitable subrogation. On September 14, 2021, Whiting and WOG filed an objection in the Bankruptcy Court, seeking an order partially disallowing the FMOG Entities’ claims. On October 20, 2022, the Company filed stipulations and proposed orders with the Bankruptcy Court to resolve all capital expenditures previously made underoutstanding claims asserted by the EPC Agreement or otherwise in respect of Gas Plant II. Finally,FMOG Entities. Those stipulations and proposed orders were signed by the Gas Gathering, Compression, Processing, and Gas Lift Agreement by and among OPNA, OPM, OMS, and OMP, dated as ofBankruptcy Court on October 27, 2022. Subsequent to September 25, 2017, was amended to reflect30, 2022, the Gas Plant II’s additional processing capacity. OMP currently estimates that it will reimburse OMS approximately $66.7Company paid $55.0 million in connection with Gas Plant II. cash as full and final satisfaction, discharge and release of all such claims.

Overview
We areChord Energy Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Chord Energy” or “Chord”) is an independent exploration and production (“E&P”) company with quality and sustainable long-lived assets in the Williston Basin. Our purpose is to improve lives by safely and responsibly providing affordable, reliable and abundant energy. We are uniquely positioned with a best-in-class balance sheet and are focused on rigorous capital discipline and generating free cash flow by operating efficiently, safely and responsibly to develop our unconventional onshore oil-rich resources in the continental United States.
Recent Developments
Return of Capital Plan
On August 3, 2022, we introduced a return of capital plan designed to provide peer-leading, sustainable shareholder returns. The return of capital plan includes a base dividend of $1.25 per share per quarter ($5.00 per share annualized) and a $300.0 million share-repurchase program. Capital will be returned through base dividends, variable dividends and share repurchases.
We expect to return a certain percentage of free cash flow (“FCF”) each quarter, with the targeted percentage based on free cash flow generated during the quarter and leverage under the following framework:
Below 0.5x leverage:
75%+ of FCF
Below 1.0x leverage:
50%+ of FCF

The Merger
On March 7, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Whiting Petroleum Corporation (“Whiting”) to combine in a merger of equals transaction (the “Merger”). Whiting was an independent oil and gas company engaged in the development, production and acquisition and development of unconventionalcrude oil, NGLs and natural gas resources primarily in the North Dakota and Montana regionsRocky Mountains region of the Williston Basin. SinceUnited States. The Merger was unanimously approved by the respective Boards of Directors of both companies, and the proposals relating to the Merger were approved by the shareholders of both companies on June 28, 2022. The Merger was completed on July 1, 2022. In connection with the completion of the Merger, we changed our inception, we have acquired properties that provide current production and significant upside potential through further development. Our drilling activity is primarily directed toward projects that we believe can provide us with repeatable successes in the Bakken and Three Forks formations.name from Oasis Petroleum North America LLCInc. (“OPNA”Oasis”) conducts our domestic oilto Chord Energy.
Upon completion of the Merger on July 1, 2022, we issued 22,671,871 shares of common stock and natural gas E&P activities. We also operatepaid $245.4 million in cash to Whiting shareholders. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each holder of Whiting common stock, par value $0.001 per share, received 0.5774 shares of Chord common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and $6.25 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Whiting common stock.
In connection with the Merger, on June 16, 2022, the Board of Directors of Oasis declared a midstream services business through OMS Holdings LLCspecial dividend of $15.00 per share of common stock (the “Special Dividend”) that was paid on July 8, 2022 to shareholders of record as of June 29, 2022.
OMP Merger
On February 1, 2022, we completed the merger of Oasis Midstream Partners LP (“OMS”OMP”) and a well services business through Oasis Well ServicesOMP GP LLC, OMP’s general partner (“OWS”OMP GP”), both of which are separate reportable business segments that are complementary to our primary development and production activities. The revenues and expenses related to work performed by OMS and OWS for OPNA’s working interests are eliminated in consolidation and, therefore, do not directly contribute to our consolidated results of operations.
Our use of capital for acquisitions and development allows us to direct our capital resources to what we believe to be the most attractive opportunities as market conditions evolve. We have historically acquired properties that we believe will meet or exceed our rate of return criteria. We built our Williston Basin assets through acquisitions and development activities, which were financed with a combination of capital from private investors, borrowings under the senior secured revolving line of credit (the “Oasis Credit Facility”), cash flows provided by operating activities, proceeds from our senior unsecured notes, proceeds from our public equity offerings, the sale of certain non-core oil and gas properties and cash settlements of derivative contracts. For acquisitions of properties with additional development, exploitation and exploration potential, we have focused on acquiring properties that we expect to operate so that we can control the timing and implementation of capital spending. In some instances, we have acquired non-operated property interests at what we believe to be attractive rates of return either because they provided an entry into a new areasubsidiary of interest or complemented our existing operations.Crestwood Equity Partners LP (“Crestwood”) and, in exchange, received $160.0 million in cash and 20,985,668 common units representing limited partner interests of Crestwood (the “OMP Merger”). In addition,connection with the acquisitionclosing of non-operated properties in new areas provides us with geophysicalthe OMP Merger, the Company and geologic data that may leadCrestwood executed a director nomination agreement pursuant to further acquisitions in the same area, whether on an operated or non-operated basis. We intend to continue to acquire both operated and non-operated propertieswhich we designated two directors to the extentBoard of Directors of Crestwood GP Equity LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Crestwood (“Crestwood GP”).
On September 12, 2022, we believe they meet our return objectives.

Market Conditions and natural gas properties in the Williston Basin, we believe the primary sources of opportunities, challenges and risks related to our business for both the short and long-term are:
commodity prices for oil and natural gas;
transportation capacity;
availability and cost of services; and
availability of qualified personnel.

Commodity Prices
Our revenue, profitability and future growth rateability to return cash to shareholders depend substantially on factors beyond our control, such as economic, political and regulatory developments as well as competition from other sources of energy. Prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas can fluctuate widely in response to relatively minor changes in the global and regional supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, as well as market uncertainty, economic conditions and a variety of additional factors. Since the inception of our oil and natural gas activities, commodity prices have experienced significant fluctuations in recent years and may continue to fluctuate widely in the future. Extended periodsCommodity prices increased significantly during the first half of low2022 due, in part, to disruptions to global commodity markets resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, coupled with increased global economic activity as a result of fewer restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. During the third quarter of 2022, crude oil and NGL prices for oil ordecoupled from natural gas could materially and adversely affect our financial position, our results of operations, the quantities ofprices. Crude oil and NGL prices decreased in the third quarter of 2022 to levels consistent with early 2022 prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine due to decreased consumer demand associated with slowing economic activity levels in major developed and emerging economies. Natural gas prices increased during the third quarter of 2022 due to increased liquified natural gas reserves that we can economically producedemand around the globe, particularly in Europe, stemming from lower Russian natural gas supply as a result of economic sanctions and our accessother self-sanctioning of Russian commodities due to capital.the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
We have experienced an increase in the costs of labor, materials and services, which may continue, primarily due to continued supply chain disruptions, higher demand for services and a tight labor market. Central banks have raised interest rates in an effort to reduce inflationary pressure; however, such actions to lower inflation have slowed economic activity levels and increased the risk of a possible future economic recession.
In an effort to improve price realizations from the sale of our crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, we manage our commodities marketing activities in-house, which enables us to market and sell our crude oil, NGLs and natural gas to a broader array of potential purchasers. We enter into crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales contracts with purchasers who have access to transportation capacity, utilize derivative financial instruments to manage our commodity price risk and enter into physical delivery contracts to manage our price differentials. During the third quarter of 2022, our crude oil price differentials averaged a $1.63 per barrel premium to NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil price index (“NYMEX WTI”). Due to the availability of other markets and pipeline connections, we do not believe that the loss of any single oil or natural gas customer would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows.
Additionally, we sell a significant amount of our crude oil production through gathering systems connected to multiple pipeline and rail facilities. These gathering systems, which originate at the wellhead, reduce the need to transport barrels by truck from the wellhead. Currently, 90%wellhead, helping remove trucks from local highways and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As of our gross operated oil production andSeptember 30, 2022, substantially all of our gross operated crude oil and natural gas production arewere connected to these gathering systems, and our crude oil price differentials have improved to less than $2.00 per barrel primarily due to the additional takeaway capacity of the Dakota Access Pipeline of over 450,000 barrels per day.systems.
Highlights:
We produced 66,125 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boepd”) in the third quarter of 2017;
We completed and placed on production 24 gross (15.1 net) operated wells in the Williston Basin in the third quarter of 2017 and ended the quarter with 82 gross operated wells waiting on completion;
Our oil differentials have improved to $1.82 off of NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil index price (“WTI”) in the third quarter of 2017;
We commenced operations of our second Oasis Well Services (“OWS”) fracturing crew during the third quarter of 2017;
Oasis Midstream Partners LP (“OMP” or “Oasis Midstream”) completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 8,625,000 common units, which includes 1,125,000 common units issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their option on October 10, 2017. This resulted in net proceeds of approximately $137.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and structuring fees, of which $131.6 million was distributed to Oasis;
We announced investment in and assignment of second Wild Basin Gas Plant (“Gas Plant II”) with a total capacity of 200 million standard cubic feet per day to service gas production from its highly economic inventory;
Total capital expenditures were $240.4 million and $523.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. We expect full year 2017 adjusted capital expenditures to total $620.0 million, in line with prior guidance. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below;
At September 30, 2017, we had $8.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and had total liquidity of $953.5 million, including the availability under the Oasis Credit Facility and the OMP Operating LLC revolving line of credit (collectively, our “Revolving Credit Facilities”);
Net cash provided by operating activities was $88.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $179.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and net cash provided by operating activities, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Results of Operations
Comparability of Financial Statements
The results of operations presented below relate to the period ended September 30, 2022. Certain financial and operational information set forth herein does not include the activity of Whiting for periods prior to the closing of the Merger on July 1, 2022.
As of the completion of the Merger on July 1, 2022, we elected to report crude oil, NGLs and natural gas separately on a three-stream basis. For the periods prior to July 1, 2022, we reported crude oil and natural gas, which included NGLs, on a two-stream basis. This change impacts the comparability with prior periods.
In addition, the OMP Merger qualified for reporting as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the results of operations of OMP have been classified as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the period from January 1, 2022 to the closing of the OMP Merger on February 1, 2022. Prior periods have been recast so that the basis of presentation is consistent with that of the 2022 condensed consolidated financial statements.
Operational Highlights
Production volumes averaged 172,481 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boepd”), including crude oil volumes of 96,201 barrels of oil per day (“Bopd”) in the third quarter of 2022.
E&P capital expenditures were $224.8 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Lease operating expense (“LOE”) was $9.86 per barrel of oil equivalent (“Boe”) in the third quarter of 2022.
Turned-in-line 32 gross (22.5 net) operated wells in the third quarter of 2022.

Revenues
Our crude oil, NGL and natural gas revenues are derived from the sale of crude oil, NGL and natural gas production. These revenues do not include the effects of derivative instruments and may vary significantly from period to period as a result of changes in volumes of production sold or changes in commodity prices. Our bulkrevenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased due to the Merger, which significantly expanded our operations in the Williston Basin. Our purchased oil and gas sales are derived from the sale of crude oil and natural gas purchased through our marketing activities primarily to optimize transportation costs, for blending. Our midstream revenues are primarily derivedblending to meet pipeline specifications or to cover production shortfalls. Revenues and expenses from producedcrude oil and flowback water pipeline transport, produced and flowback water disposal, natural gas gathering and processing, fresh water sales and purchases are generally recorded on a gross basis, as we act as a principal in these transactions by assuming control of the purchased crude oil gathering and transportation. Our well services revenues are derived from well services, productor natural gas before it is transferred to the counterparty. In certain cases, we enter into sales and equipment rentals. Substantially allpurchases with the same counterparty in contemplation of our midstream revenuesone another, and well services revenuesthese transactions are from services for third-party working interest owners in OPNA’s operated wells. Intercompany revenues for work performed by OMS and OWS for OPNA’s working interests are eliminated in consolidation and are therefore not included in midstream and well services revenues.recorded on a net basis.

Three months ended September 30, 20172022 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2022
Crude oil revenues. Our crude oil revenues increased $405.4 million to $824.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 20162022. This increase was primarily driven by a $443.7 million increase due to our expanded operations after the Merger. Excluding the impacts attributable to the Merger, our crude oil revenues decreased $38.3 million due to a decrease of $66.1 million due to lower crude oil realized prices, partially offset by an increase of $27.8 million due to higher crude oil production volumes sold quarter over quarter. Average crude oil sales prices, without derivative settlements, decreased by $18.66 per barrel quarter over quarter to an average of $93.13 per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
OilNGL revenues.As of July 1, 2022, we began reporting NGL revenues separately from natural gas revenues. This prospective change impacts the comparability of the periods presented. Our NGL revenues were $106.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, including $53.5 million attributable to our expanded operations after the Merger and $52.7 million attributable to our legacy operations.
Natural gas revenues.As of July 1, 2022, we began reporting NGL revenues. separately from natural gas revenues. This prospective change impacts the comparability of the periods presented. Our oil andnatural gas revenues increased $92.3$6.0 million or 59%, to $248.6$125.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily driven by a $58.3 million increase due to our expanded operations after the Merger. Excluding the effects of the Merger, our natural gas revenues decreased $52.3 million, including $52.7 million due to the conversion to three-stream reporting. Stripping out the NGL component from our liquids-rich natural gas resulted in a lower price reported for residue gas during the three months ended September 30, 20172022 as compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. The higher oil and2022 in which we reported revenues that included liquids-rich natural gas production amounts sold increased revenues by $62.9 million coupled with a $29.4 million increase due to the higher oil andgas. Average natural gas sales prices during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. Average oil sales prices, without derivative settlements, increaseddecreased by $5.81$3.51 per barrel to an average of $46.35 per barrel, and average natural gas sales prices, which includes the value for natural gas and natural gas liquids, increased by $1.66 perone thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) quarter over quarter to an average of $3.50$6.06 per Mcf for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. Average daily production sold increased by 17,616 Boepd to 66,125 Boepd during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in average daily production sold was primarily a result of our acquisition completed on December 1, 2016 of approximately 55,000 net acres in the Williston Basin (the “Williston Basin Acquisition”)2022.

Bulk Purchased oil sales. Bulk oiland gas sales which represent the sale of crude oil purchased primarily for blending at our crude oil terminal that began in late 2016, increased $19.3decreased $117.8 million to $21.2$132.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared2022. This decrease was primarily due to lower crude oil prices quarter over quarter and a decrease in the volume of crude oil purchased and subsequently sold relative to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2022, when additional volumes were purchased to mitigate the impacts of production downtime associated with winter storms.
Midstream revenues. Midstream revenues increased $10.3 million to $18.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was driven by a $7.2 million increase primarily related to higher natural gas volumes gathered, compressed and processed coupled with a $2.9 million increase related to higher oil volumes gathered, stabilized and transported as a result

Midstream revenues increased $26.6 million to $48.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was driven by a $20.8 million increase primarily related to higher natural gas volumes gathered, compressed and processed coupled with a $7.2 million increase related to higher oil volumes gathered, stabilized and transported as a result of the start up of our natural gas processing plant and our oil gathering system in the second half of 2016, respectively. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.5 million related to produced and flowback water disposal revenues.
Well services revenues. We increased the pace of our well completions in 2017 and added a second fracturing fleet during the third quarter of 2017. Our well services revenues increased by 14% to $33.6$106.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared2022, including $53.5 million due to our expanded operations after the Merger and $52.7 million attributable to our legacy operations.

Our natural gas revenues increased $169.9 million to $353.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016,2022. Excluding the effects from the Merger, our natural gas revenues increased $111.6 million primarily due to $83.1 million attributable to higher natural gas realized prices and $28.5 million attributable to higher natural gas production volumes sold period over period, partially offset by a decrease due to the conversion to three-stream reporting as of July 1, 2022. Additionally, our natural gas revenues increased period over period by $58.3 million due to our expanded operations after the Merger. Average natural gas sales prices, without derivative settlements, increased by $1.98 per Mcf period over period to an average of $7.58 per Mcf for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Purchased oil and gas sales. Purchased oil and gas sales increased $266.3 million to $542.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher crude oil prices period over period, coupled with an increase in well completion product salescrude oil volumes purchased and well completion activity, offset by OWS completing OPNA wellsthen subsequently sold to mitigate the impacts of production downtime associated with a lower average third-party working interest period over period.winter storms in the second quarter of 2022.

(1)Prior to the first quarter of 2017, marketing, transportation and gathering expenses included bulk purchase costs related to blending at our crude oil terminal on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior periods have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect these expenses in bulk oil purchases on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(2)As OMP completed its IPO on September 25, 2017, the net income attributable to non-controlling interests represents the interest owned by the public for the six days ended September 30, 2017.

Three months ended September 30, 20172022 as compared to three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162022
Lease operating expenses. Lease operating expensesexpenses. LOE increased $9.6$88.7 million to $45.3$156.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 as compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. The2022 primarily due to an $85.3 million increase wasfrom our expanded operations after the Merger. Excluding the effects of the Merger, LOE increased $3.3 million primarily due to higher fixed costs associated with operating an increased number of producing wells as a result of our well completions and the Williston Basin Acquisition coupled with an increase in$4.0 million, partially offset by lower workover costs during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Lease operating expensesof $1.1 million due to fewer workover projects. LOE per Boe decreased quarter over quarter from $8.00$1.75 per Boe to $7.45 per Boe.
Midstream operating expenses. Midstream operating expenses represent operating expenses incurred by OMS associated with volumes for third-party working interest owners. The $1.7 million increase quarter over quarter was primarily related to the start up of our natural gas processing plant and our oil gathering system during 2016 coupled with an increase in freshwater purchases.
Well services operating expenses. Well services operating expenses represent operating expenses incurred by OWS for third-party working interest owners’ share of completion services. The $3.6 million increase quarter over quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in well completion product sales, maintenance and trucking costs and higher well completion activity.
Marketing, transportation and gathering expenses. Marketing, transportation and gathering expenses increased $8.0 million, or $0.90$9.86 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, which was primarily attributable2022 due to higher oil gatheringproduction volumes.
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses related to the start up of the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2017expenses. Gathering, processing and the start up of our oil gathering system in the second half of 2016. In addition, natural gas gathering and processingtransportation (“GPT”) expenses increased due to additional well connections on OMS infrastructure and the start up of our natural gas processing plant in the second half of 2016. Excluding non-cash valuation adjustments, our marketing, transportation and gathering expenses on a per Boe basis increased to $2.50 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $1.58 during the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the higher aforementioned costs.
Bulk oil purchases. Bulk purchases, which represent the crude oil purchased primarily for blending at our crude oil terminal that began in late 2016, increased $19.8$3.7 million to $21.7$35.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 as compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.
Production taxes. Our production taxes as a percentage of oil and natural gas sales were 8.5% and 9.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The production tax rate decreased period over period2022 primarily due to a lower oil production mix. North Dakota’s natural gas production tax is $0.0555 per Mcf.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”). DD&A expense increased $20.3$2.1 million to $132.3increase from our expanded operations after the Merger, which included $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as comparedof GPT expenses partially offset by a $6.9 million non-cash gain attributable to the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increasechange in DD&A expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was a resultfair value of production increases from our wells completed during the three months ended September 30, 2017 coupled with the Williston Basin Acquisition, offset by a decreasecertain transportation derivative contracts acquired in the DD&A rateMerger for which we did not elect the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion. See Note 7—Derivative Instruments for additional information on the transportation derivative contracts. Excluding the effects of the Merger, GPT expenses increased $1.6 million primarily due to $21.75the impact of the change in our pipeline imbalance volumes quarter over quarter. GPT expenses per Boe decreased $3.22 per Boe to $2.24 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 due to higher production.
Purchased oil and gas expenses. Purchased oil and gas expenses decreased $119.4 million to $132.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $25.08the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of crude oil purchased quarter over quarter where additional volumes were purchased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to mitigate the impacts of production downtime associated with winter storms.
Production taxes. Production taxes increased $43.5 million to $83.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a $44.5 million increase from our expanded operations after the Merger. The production tax rate as a percentage of crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales was 7.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 7.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase quarter over quarter was primarily due to an escalation of the North Dakota crude oil extraction tax of 1% effective June 1, 2022 as a result of the average price of crude oil exceeding the crude oil trigger price of $94.69 per barrel for three consecutive months. The crude oil extraction tax will be reduced by 1% if the average price of crude oil is less than the crude oil price trigger of $94.69 per barrel for three consecutive months, which we expect to occur during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expenses increased $98.9 million to $141.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a $74.9 million increase due to DD&A expense attributable to our expanded operations after the Merger. Excluding the effects of the Merger, depletion expense increased $24.0 million due to higher production volumes quarter over quarter and an increase in the depletion rate. The depletion rate increased $1.76 per Boe to $8.58 per Boe for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease2022 due to higher costs attributable to the oil and gas properties acquired in the DD&A rate was primarily dueMerger.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased $77.4 million to lower well costs for wells completed during the second half of 2016 and the first half of 2017.
Impairment. As a result of periodic assessments of our unproved properties not held-by-production, we recorded an impairment loss on our unproved oil and natural gas properties of $0.1 million and $0.2$102.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related2022 as compared to acreage expiring in future periods because there were no current plansthe three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to drill or extend the leases prior to their expiration. Formerger-related costs of $73.4 million incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016, we also recorded an impairment loss on our unproved oil2022. We incurred $34.9 million related to employee severance benefits, $19.1 million related to advisory, legal and natural gas propertiesother transaction-related costs and $17.8 million attributable to the acceleration of $0.2 millionequity-based compensation expenses due to leases that expired interminations of certain officers upon closing of the period. No impairment charges of proved oil and gas or other properties wereMerger.
Derivative instruments. We recorded a $337.4 million gain on derivative instruments for the three months ended September 30, 20172022, which was comprised of an unrealized gain of $554.6 million on commodity derivative contracts primarily due to a decrease in the NYMEX price curve, partially offset by a realized commodity derivative contract loss of $210.2 million and 2016.a $7.0 million loss on an embedded derivative contract that includes contingent consideration. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a $98.3 million net loss on derivative instruments, which was comprised of a loss of $95.6 million on commodity derivative contracts and a $2.7 million loss on an embedded derivative contract that includes contingent consideration.
GeneralInvestment in unconsolidated affiliate. We recorded a $75.1 million gain related to our investment in Crestwood for the three months ended September 30, 2022, including a gain of $43.0 million attributable to our sale of 16,000,000 common units during the third quarter of 2022, a non-cash gain of $18.4 million due to an increase in the fair value of the investment and administrative expenses (“G&A”)a realized gain of $13.7 million due to a cash distribution from Crestwood in the third quarter of 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a $96.3 million net loss related to our investment in Crestwood, which was comprised of an unrealized loss of $110.0 million due to a decrease in the fair value of the investment, partially offset by a realized gain of $13.7 million due to a cash distribution from Crestwood in the second quarter of 2022. We own less than 5% of Crestwood’s issued and outstanding common units.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest. Our G&A decreased $0.3Interest expense increased $1.7 million to $22.5$8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 as compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. E&P G&A decreased $1.4 million quarter over quarter2022. The increase was primarily duedue to $1.8 million of bad debt expense recordedborrowings on our revolving credit facility during the three months ended September 30, 2016. OWS G&A decreased $0.3 million to $2.9 million for2022 that were subsequently repaid. There were no borrowings on our revolving credit facility during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. OMS G&Aincreased $1.3 million quarter over quarter primarily due to increased employee compensation expenses as a result of organizational growth due to increased activity and the start up of our natural gas processing plant in the third quarter of 2016.

Derivative instruments. As a result of entering into derivative contracts and the effect of the forward strip oil changes, we incurred a $54.3 million net loss on derivative instruments, including net cash settlement receipts of $8.1 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and a $20.8 million net gain on derivative instruments, including net cash settlement receipts of $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Cash settlements represent the cumulative gains and losses on our derivative instruments for the periods presented and do not include recovery of costs that were paid to acquire or modify the derivative instruments that were settled.
2022. Interest expense. Interest expense increased $5.7 million from $31.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $37.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to interest expense related to our senior unsecured convertible notes issued in September 2016, which includes debt discount amortization, and the Oasis Credit Facility coupled with a decrease in capitalized interest due to lower costs for work in progress assets as a result of the completion of our natural gas processing plant in the third quarter of 2016. These increases were offset by the repurchase of an aggregate principal amount of $447.0 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes in 2016, which resulted in a $2.1 million decrease in interest costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the weighted average debt outstanding under the Oasis Credit Facility was $484.9 million and $84.3 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate incurred on the outstanding borrowings under the Oasis Credit Facility was 3.0% and 2.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interest capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016June 30, 2022 was $3.1$1.3 million and $4.4$0.9 million, respectively.
Gain on extinguishment of debt. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we did not repurchase any portion of our outstanding senior unsecured notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased an aggregate principal amount of $370.4 million of our outstanding senior unsecured notes for an aggregate cost of $379.0 million, including accrued interest and fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a pre-tax loss related to the repurchase of $13.8 million of our outstanding senior unsecured notes, which included unamortized deferred financing costs write-offs of $5.3 million.
Income taxes. Thetax benefit. Our income tax benefit was recorded at (0.1)% of pre-tax income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016 was recorded at 31.5% and 33.0%(0.2)% of pre-tax loss, respectively. The Company’sincome from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 20172022 was lowerhigher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact of releasing a portion of the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in the third quarter of 2022, coupled with the impacts of equity-based compensation windfalls.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Chord, net of income tax. We recorded a loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax of $59.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded incremental income tax expense to discontinued operations as a result of applying the portion of OMP’s earnings allocated to the non-controlling public limited partners, which are not subject tointraperiod tax allocation rules in accordance with FASB ASC 740-20, Income Taxes – Intraperiod Tax Allocation.

In addition, oil gathering and transportation expenses increased due to the start upterminations of certain officers upon closing of the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2017 and the start upMerger.
Gain on sale of our oil gathering system in the second half of 2016. Excluding non-cash valuation adjustments, our marketing, transportation and gathering expenses on a per Boe basis increased to $2.16 duringassets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared2022, we recognized a $2.6 million gain on the sale of oil and gas properties related to $1.58 duringthe sale of certain non-core assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 2021, we recognized a $228.5 million gain on sale of assets primarily related to the Permian Basin Sale.
Derivative instruments. We recorded a $128.8 million net loss on derivative instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was comprised of a realized commodity derivative contract loss of $431.3 million, partially offset by an unrealized gain of $295.3 million on commodity derivative contracts and a $7.3 million gain on an embedded derivative contract that includes contingent consideration.

The Company’sincome from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 was higherlower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 20162021 primarily due to the impact of amounts expensed for book purposes versusreleasing a portion of the amounts deductible for incomevaluation allowance on our net deferred tax purposes related toassets in the third quarter of 2022, coupled with the impacts of equity-based compensation vesting at prices higher than the grant date values and non-deductible compensation, offset by the portionwindfalls.

Cash Flows
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have not been recast for discontinued operations, therefore the discussion below concerning cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and potential asset monetizations, in order to enhance liquidityfinancing activities includes the results of both continuing operations and decrease leverage. Our future success in growing proved reserves and production will be highly dependent on our ability to access outside sources of capital.discontinued operations.
Our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 20162021 are presented below:

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$(2,738) $4,046
Our cash flows depend on many factors, including the price of oil and natural gas and the success of our development and exploration activities as well as future acquisitions. We actively manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations by executing derivative transactions to mitigate the change in oil and natural gas prices on a portion of our production, thereby mitigating our exposure to oil and natural gas price declines, but these transactions may also limit our cash flow in periods of rising oil and natural gas prices. For additional information on the impact of changing prices on our financial position, see Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” below.

See “Results of higheroil production amounts soldOperations” above for additional information on the impact of volumes and higher realized oil sales prices.prices on revenues and for additional information on increases and decreases in certain expenses between periods.
Working capital. Our working capital fluctuates primarily as a result of changes in commodity pricingprices and production volumes, capital spending to fund development of our exploratoryoil and development initiatives and acquisitions,gas properties and the impactsettlement of our outstanding commodity derivative instruments. We had a working capital deficit of $99.3 million at September 30, 2017 primarily due to increases in our current liabilities, including accrued liabilities for drilling and development costs. As of September 30, 2017, we had $953.5 million of liquidity available, including $8.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $945.0 million of unused borrowing base committed capacity available under our Revolving Credit Facilities.contracts. At September 30, 2016,2022, we had a working capital deficit of $68.3 million.

$34.8 million, compared to a working capital surplus of $60.6 million at December 31, 2021 (excluding current assets/liabilities held-for-sale). Our working capital deficit at September 30, 2022 was primarily the result of the liability position of outstanding commodity derivative contracts. We believe we have adequate liquidity to meet our working capital requirements.
Cash flows used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $443.0$325.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net cash used in investing activities of $236.7 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase of $245.0 million for cash payments to settle commodity derivative contracts, $159.9 million of capital expenditures related to the development of our oil and $212.2gas properties and a net $73.9 million related to acquisitions, which includes $245.4 million of cash paid in July 2022 to Whiting shareholders in connection with the closing of the Merger. In addition, there was a decrease of $218.2 million in proceeds from divested assets whereby we received $160.0 million in connection with the completion of the merger of OMP into Crestwood during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, while we received net proceeds from divestitures of $373.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net cash used2021 primarily related to the sale of our upstream assets in investing activitiesthe Permian Basin. Additionally, we received distributions of $40.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to $443.6 million in capital expenditures primarily2022 for drilling and development costs. Netour ownership of Crestwood common units.
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash used in investingfinancing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to $340.3 million in capital expenditures primarily for drilling and development costs, partially offset by $115.6 million of derivative settlements received as a result of lower commodity prices and $12.3 million in proceeds received from the sale of certain legacy wells.
Our capital expenditures are summarized in the following table:

(1)Other capital expenditures include such items as administrative capital and capitalized interest.
(2)Capital expenditures reflected in the table above differ from the amounts shown in the statement of cash flows in our condensed consolidated financial statements because amounts reflected in the table above 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.
Our total 2017 capital expenditure budget is $620.0 million, which includes $410.0 million of drilling and completion capital expenditures (including expected savings from services provided by OMS and OWS), $110.0 million for midstream infrastructure and $100.0 million of other capital expenditures, including other E&P capital, capitalized interest, OWS and administrative capital.
While we have budgeted $620.0 million for these purposes, the ultimate amount of capital we will expend may fluctuate materially based on market conditions and the success of our drilling and operations results as the year progresses. Furthermore, if we acquire additional acreage, our capital expenditures may be higher than budgeted. We believe that cash on hand, including cash flows from operating activities and availability under our Revolving Credit Facilities should be sufficient to fund our 2017 capital expenditure budget and to meet our future obligations. However, because the operated wells funded by our 2017 drilling plan represent only a small percentage of our potential drilling locations, we will be required to generate or raise multiples of this amount of capital to develop our entire inventory of potential drilling locations should we elect to do so.
Our capital expenditures totaled $523.1$635.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022 was primarily attributable to dividends paid to shareholders of which $57.0$500.1 million, was reimbursedpayments of $124.8 million to repurchase common stock and payments of $36.8 million for income tax withholdings on vested equity-based compensation awards. These uses of cash were partially offset by OMP with the assignmentproceeds of Gas Plant II. Additionally, we acquired a freshwater intake facility$17.5 million from the Missouri River and a freshwater distribution system that it is expanding to service a portionexercise of the our completion activity in Wild Basin (collectively, the “Freshwater Project”). The Freshwater Project costsoutstanding warrants. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, including2021 of $272.7 million was primarily attributable to OMP’s issuance of $450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes, coupled with our issuance of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes. This was partially offset by the acquisition, totaled approximately $23.0 million. At the timenet principal repayments of the OMP IPO, the Freshwater Project was included in Beartooth DevCo LLC, which is 60% owned by Oasis.

Pursuant to the final settlement statement, the purchase price was reduced by $4.8 million.

Dividends
Base dividends. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which is in line with the Company’s capital expenditure plan for2022 and 2021, we paid base dividends of $2.42 per share of common stock and $1.125 per share of common stock, respectively.
On November 2, 2022, we declared a base dividend of $1.25 per share of common stock. The dividend will be payable on November 29, 2022 to shareholders of record as of November 15, 2022.
Variable dividends. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Excluding the Gas Plant II and the Freshwater Project for the full year 2017capital expenditures,2022, we continue to expect adjusted capital expenditures to be approximately $620.0 million, which includes $15.0 million for activating the second fracturing spread for OWS.
Our capital budget may further be adjusted as business conditions warrant. The amount, timing and allocationpaid variable dividends of capital expenditures is largely discretionary and within our control. If oil prices decline for an extended period$5.94 per share of time, we could defer a significant portion of our budgeted capital expenditures until later periods to prioritize capital projects that we believe have the highest expected returns and potential to generate near-term cash flows. We routinely monitor and adjust our capital expenditures in response to changes in prices, availability of financing, drilling and acquisition costs, industry conditions, the timing of regulatory approvals, the availability of rigs, success or lack of success in drilling activities, contractual obligations, internally generated cash flows and other factors both within and outside our control. We actively review acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis. Our ability to make significant acquisitions for cash would require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which we may not be able to obtain on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Cash flowsprovided byfinancing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $141.5 million and $92.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to proceeds from the borrowings under our Oasis Credit Facility coupled with proceeds from the sale of OMP common units (see Note 3 – Oasis Midstream Partners LP ), net of offering costs, partially offset by principal payments on our Oasis Credit Facility.

Share Repurchase Program
In February 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a share-repurchase program covering up to us to pay tax withholdings upon$150.0 million of our common stock. During the vesting of restricted stock awards.
Senior secured revolving line of credit. We have the Oasis Credit Facility with an overall senior secured line of credit of $2,500.0 million as ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Oasis Credit Facility is restricted to the borrowing base, which is reserve-based and subject to semi-annual redeterminations on April 1 and October 12022, we repurchased 1,174,756 shares of each year. The maturity date of the Oasis Credit Facility is April 13, 2020, provided that the 7.25% senior unsecured notes due February 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) are retired or refinanced 90 days prior to their maturity date. On April 10, 2017, the lenders under the Oasis Credit Facility (the “Lenders”) completed their regular semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base scheduled for April 1, 2017, resulting in an increase in the borrowing base from $1,150.0 million to $1,600.0 million; however, we elected to limit the Lenders’ aggregate commitment to $1,150.0 million. On September 25, 2017, we entered into the ninth amendment to the Oasis Credit Facility to permit the transactions and agreements entered into in connection with the OMP IPO. On October 17, 2017, the Lenders completed their regular semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base of the Second Amended Credit Facility, resulting in the borrowing base and the aggregate elected commitment reaffirmed at $1,600.0 million and $1,150.0 million, respectively. The next redetermination of the borrowing base is scheduled for April 1, 2018.
On November 6, 2017, we entered into the Tenth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Oasis Credit Facility, pursuant to which the Lenders consented to (i) the termination of the limited recourse guaranty agreements by and between each of Beartooth DevCo LLC and Bobcat DevCo LLC (collectively, the “DevCos,” and each a “DevCo”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), under the Oasis Credit Facility and (ii) the termination and release of each DevCo’s DevCo Mortgage (as defined in the Amendment). Further, OMS, in its capacity as the majority owner of each of the DevCos, entered into the Undertaking Agreements with the Administrative Agent pursuant to which OMS agreed to limitations on the activities of each DevCo, including, but not limited to, the incurrence of indebtedness, asset acquisitions or dispositions, investments, mergers, issuance of additional equity interests, creation of liens on any DevCo assets or entry into any agreement that would restrict or prohibit the granting of liens on any DevCo assets, loans or advances to other persons, entry into any transaction with an affiliate, formation of a subsidiary and entry into any swap or similar derivative transaction (the “DevCo Covenants”). OMS further agreed to cause corresponding amendments to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of each DevCo to implement the DevCo Covenants and to require unanimous member approval for any amendment to the DevCo Covenants.
At September 30, 2017, we had $395.0 million of borrowingscommon stock at a weighted average interest rateprice of 3.0% and $10.0 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Oasis Credit Facility, resulting in an unused borrowing base committed capacity of $745.0 million.
The Oasis Credit Facility contains covenants that include, among others:
a prohibition against incurring debt, subject to permitted exceptions;
a prohibition against making dividends, distributions and redemptions, subject to permitted exceptions;
a prohibition against making investments, loans and advances, subject to permitted exceptions;
restrictions on creating liens and leases on our assets and our subsidiaries, subject to permitted exceptions;
restrictions on merging and selling assets outside the ordinary course of business;

a requirement that we maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDAX (as defined in the Oasis Credit Facility) to consolidated Interest Expense (as defined in the Oasis Credit Facility) of no less than 2.5 to 1.0 for the four quarters ended on the last day of each quarter; and

a requirement that we maintain a Current Ratio (as defined in the Oasis Credit Facility) of consolidated current assets (including unused borrowing base committed capacity and with exclusions as described in the Oasis Credit Facility) to consolidated current liabilities (with exclusions as described in the Oasis Credit Facility) of no less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.
The Oasis Credit Facility contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the Oasis Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. We were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Oasis Credit Facility at September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, our consolidated EBITDAX was $602.4 million and our consolidated Interest Expense was $140.7 million, resulting in a ratio of 4.3 as compared to a minimum required ratio of 2.5. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, our consolidated current assets and consolidated current liabilities (as described above) were $1,066.8 million and $405.3 million, respectively, resulting in a Current Ratio of 2.6 as compared to a minimum required ratio of 1.0. Given the possible fluctuation in commodity prices, we continue to closely monitor our financial covenants and do not anticipate a covenant violation in the next twelve months.

The 2019 Notes are currently redeemable for cash at a redemption price equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding Senior Notes through cash purchases and/or exchanges for other debt or equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
The indentures governing the Senior Notes restrict our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase equity interests; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) incur liens; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vi) merge or consolidate with another company; and (vii) transfer and sell assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. If at any time when our Senior Notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no default (as defined in the indentures) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will terminate and we will cease to be subject to such covenants. We were in compliance with the terms of the indentures for the Senior Notes as of September 30, 2017.

Senior unsecured convertible notes. In September 2016, we issued $300.0 million of 2.625% Senior Convertible Notes due September 2023.our common stock, which resulted in the expiration of the $150.0 million share-repurchase program. We have the option to settle conversions of these notes with cash,not repurchased any shares of common stock or a combinationunder this new share-repurchase program.
See “Recent Developments—Return of cash and common stock at our election. Our intent is to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. Prior to March 15, 2023, the Senior Convertible Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stockCapital Plan” for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after March 15, 2023, the Senior Convertible Notes will be convertible at any time until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the September 15, 2023 maturity date. The Senior Convertible Notes will be convertible at an initial conversion rate of 76.3650 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.10. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or a notice of redemption, we will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert the Senior Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or redemption in certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2017, none of the contingent conditions allowing holders of the Senior Convertible Notes to convert these notes had been met. In addition, we were in compliance with the terms of the indentures for the Senior Convertible Notes as of September 30, 2017.
Interest on the Senior Notes and the Senior Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) is payable semi-annually in arrears. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our material subsidiaries.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Cash Interest, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Oasis Per Share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for interest expense, net income (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, earnings (loss) per share or any other measures prepared under GAAP. Because Cash Interest, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Oasis Per Share exclude some but not all items that affect net income (loss) and may vary among companies, the amounts presented may not be comparable to similar metrics of other companies.
Cash Interest
We define 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 GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of Cash Interest provides useful additional information to investors and analysts for assessing the interest charges incurred on our debt, excluding non-cash amortization, and our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants.strategy for future share repurchases.

Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow
We define Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Interest and capital expenditures, excluding capitalized interest. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of net income (loss) or cash flows as determined by GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of Free Cash Flow provides useful additional information to investors and analysts for assessing our financial performance as compared to our peers and our ability to generate cash from our business operations after interest and capital spending. In addition, Free Cash Flow excludes changes in operating assets and liabilities that relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements, which we may not control, and changes in operating assets and liabilities may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Oasis Per Share
We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis as net income (loss) after adjusting 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, (2) the impact of net income attributable to non-controlling interests and (3) the non-cash and non-recurring items’ impact on taxes based on our effective tax rate applicable to those adjusting items, excluding net income attributable to non-controlling interests, in the same period. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis is not a measure of net income (loss) as determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Oasis Per Share as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Oasis Per Share provides useful additional information to investors and analysts for evaluating our operational trends and performance in comparison to our peers. This measure is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts, and charges or amounts excluded cannot be reasonably estimated and are excluded from guidance provided by the Company.
The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) attributable to Oasis to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Oasis and the GAAP financial measure of diluted earnings (loss) attributable to Oasis per share to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Oasis Per Share for the periods presented:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 6 – 6—Fair Value Measurements toMeasurements” for additional information on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our money market funds and derivative instruments and their related fair value measurements. See also Item“Item 3. “QuantitativeQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Aboutabout Market Risk” below.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our 20162021 Annual Report. See Note 2 – SummaryReport, except as follows.
Business combinations. We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, we recognize amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed equal to their estimated acquisition date fair values. Transaction and integration costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.
We make various assumptions in estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As fair value is a market-based measurement, it is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use. The most significant assumptions in the Merger relate to the estimated fair values of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties. The fair values of these properties are measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant Accounting Policiesinputs to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsthe valuation include estimates of reserves, future operating and development costs, future commodity prices and a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The market-based weighted average cost of capital rate is subjected to additional project-specific risking factors. In addition, when appropriate, we review comparable purchases and sales of crude oil, NGL and natural gas properties within the same regions, and use that data as a proxy for fair market value; for example, the amount a discussionwilling buyer and seller would enter into in exchange for such properties. Different techniques may be used to determine fair values, including market prices (where available), comparisons to transactions for similar assets and liabilities and present values of estimated future cash flows, among others. Since these estimates involve the use of significant judgment, they can change as new information becomes available.
Any excess of the acquisition price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the estimated fair value of net assets acquired over the acquisition price is recorded in current earnings as a gain on bargain purchase. Deferred taxes are recorded for any differences between the assigned values and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Estimated deferred taxes are based on available information concerning the tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and loss carryforwards at the acquisition date, although such estimates may change in the future as additional accounting policies and estimates made by management.information becomes known.
Item 3. — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Aboutabout Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including commodity price risk, interest rate risk and counterparty and customer risk. We address these risks through a program of risk management, including the use of derivative instruments.
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risk. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in prices forcrude oil, natural gasNGL and natural gas liquids,prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for hedging purposes, rather than for speculative trading. The following market risk disclosures should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in our 20162021 Annual Report, as well as with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including commodity price risk, interest rate risk and counterparty and customer risk. We address these risks through a program of risk management, including the use of derivative instruments.
Commodity price exposure risk. We are exposed to market risk as the prices of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including changes in supply and demand and other factors.the macroeconomic environment, all of which are typically beyond our control. The markets for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas have been volatile, especially over the last several quarters and years. These prices will likely continue to be volatile in the future. To partially reduce price risk caused by these market fluctuations, we have entered into commodity derivative instrumentscontracts in the past and expect to enter into derivative instruments in the futurefuture. Additionally, we may choose to cover a significant portionliquidate existing derivative positions before the contract ends in order to realize the current value of our future production.existing positions, in accordance with terms under our credit agreements.
We utilize derivative financial instrumentsIn connection with sale of our upstream assets in the Permian Basin in June 2021, we are entitled to manage risks relatedreceive up to changes in oilthree earn-out payments of $25.0 million per year for each of 2023, 2024 and natural gas prices.

The fair value of our unrealized crude oil derivative positions at September 30, 2017, we utilized swaps and two-way and three-way costless collar options to reduce the volatility2022 was a net liability position of $301.6 million. A 10% increase in crude oil and natural gas prices on a significant portion of our future expected oil and natural gas production. A swap is a sold call and a purchased put established at the same price (both ceiling and floor), which we will receive for the volumes under contract. A two-way collar is a combination of options: a sold call and a purchased put. The purchased put establishes a minimum price (floor) and the sold call establishes a maximum price (ceiling) we will receive for the volumes under contract. A three-way collar is a combination of options: a sold call, a purchased put and a sold put. The purchased put establishes a minimum price (floor), unless the market price falls below the sold put (sub-floor), at which point the minimum price would be the NYMEX index price plus the difference between the purchased put and the sold put strike price. The sold call establishes a maximum price (ceiling) we will receive for the volumes under contract.
We recognize all derivative instruments at fair value. The credit standing of our counterparties is analyzed and factored intoincrease the fair value amounts recognized on the balance sheet. Derivative assets and liabilities arising from ourof this unrealized derivative contracts with the same counterparty are also reported onliability position by approximately $136.5 million, while a net basis, as all counterparty contracts provide for net settlement.

The fair value of our unrealized natural gas derivative positions at September 30, 2022 was a net liability of $50.1 million. A 10% increase in natural gas prices would increase the fair value of this unrealized derivative liability position by approximately $1.9 million, while a 10% decrease in crude oilnatural gas prices would increasedecrease the fair value of this unrealized derivative liability position by approximately $103.2$17.0 million.

We do not currently, but may in the future, utilize interest rate derivatives to altermitigate interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce interest rate expense related to debt issued under the Oasis Credit Facility or the OMP Credit Facility.our revolving credit facility. Interest rate derivatives would be used solely to modify interest rate exposure and not to modify the overall leverage of the debt portfolio.
Counterparty and customer credit risk. Joint interest receivables arise from billing entities which own partial interest in the wells we operate. These entities participate in our wells primarily based on their ownership in leases on which we choose to drill. We have limited ability to control participation in our wells. No bad debt expense was recorded duringFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.2022, our credit losses on joint interest receivables were immaterial. We are also subject to credit risk due to concentration of our crude oil, NGL and natural gas receivables with several significant customers. The inability or failure of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us, or their insolvency or liquidation, may adversely affect our financial results.
While we do not require all ofWe monitor our customersexposure to post collateral and we do not have a formal process in place to evaluate and assess the credit standing of our significant customers forcounterparties on crude oil, NGL and natural gas receivablessales primarily by reviewing credit ratings, financial statements and the counterpartiespayment history. We extend credit terms based on our derivative instruments, we do evaluate the credit standingevaluation of such counterparties as we deem appropriate under the circumstances. This evaluation may include reviewing aeach counterparty’s credit rating, latest financial information and, in the case of a customer with which weworthiness. We have receivables, their historical payment record, the financial ability of the customer’s parent companynot generally required our counterparties to make payment if the customer cannot and undertaking the due diligence necessaryprovide collateral to determine credit terms and credit limits. Several of our significant customers forsecure crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales receivables owed to us. Historically, our credit losses on crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales receivables have a credit rating below investment grade or do not have rated debt securities. In these circumstances, we have considered the lack of investment grade credit rating in addition to the other factors described above.

been immaterial.
In addition, our crude oil, NGL and natural gas derivative arrangements expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. However, in order to mitigate the risk of nonperformance, we only enter into derivative contracts with counterparties that are high credit-quality financial institutions, mostinstitutions. All of the counterparties on our derivative instruments currently in place are lenders under our revolving credit facility with investment grade ratings. We are likely to enter into any future derivative instruments with these or other lenders under our revolving credit facility, which are Lenders under the Oasis Credit Facility.also carry investment grade ratings. This risk is also managed by spreading our derivative exposure across several institutions and limiting the volumes placed under individual contracts. We are likely to enter into future derivative instruments with these or other Lenders under the Oasis Credit Facility, which also carry investment grade ratings. Furthermore, the agreements with each of the counterparties on our derivative instruments contain netting provisions. As a result of these netting provisions, our maximum amount of loss due to credit risk is limited to the net amounts due to and from the counterparties under the derivative contracts. We had a net derivative liability position

As permitted under our investments policy, we may purchase commercial paper instruments from high credit quality counterparties. These counterparties may include issuers in a variety of industries including the domestic and foreign financial sector. This risk is managed by our investment policy including minimum credit ratings thresholds and maximum counterparty exposure values. Although we do not anticipate any of our commercial paper issuers failing to pay us upon maturity, we take a risk in purchasing the commercial paper instruments available in the marketplace. If an issuer fails to repay us at maturity from commercial paper proceeds, it could take a significant amount of time to recover a portion of or all of the assets originally invested. Our commercial paper balance was $36,000 at September 30, 2017.
Item 4. — Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2017.2022. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at as of September 30, 2017.2022.
On July 1, 2022, we completed the Merger. Management’s assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Whiting. The total assets and total revenues of Whiting represent approximately 57% and 47%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. Therereporting
On July 1, 2022, we completed the Merger. As part of the ongoing integration, we are in the process of incorporating the controls and related procedures of Whiting. Other than incorporating Whiting’s controls, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017third quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. — Legal Proceedings
Mirada litigation.On March 23, 2017, Mirada Energy, LLC, Mirada Wild Basin Holding Company, LLCSee “Part I, Item 1. — Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 19—Commitments and Mirada Energy Fund I, LLC (collectively, “Mirada”) filed a lawsuit against Oasis Petroleum Inc., OPNA and Oasis Midstream Services LLC, seeking monetary damages in excess of $100 million, declaratory relief, attorneys’ fees and costs (Mirada Energy, LLC, et al. v. Oasis Petroleum North America LLC, et al.; in the 334th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas; Case Number 2017-19911). Mirada asserts that itContingencies” which is a working interest owner in certain acreage owned and operatedincorporated herein by the Company in Wild Basin. Specifically, Mirada asserts that the Company has breached certain agreements by: (1) failing to allow Mirada to participate in the Company’s midstream operations in Wild Basin; (2) refusing to provide Mirada with information that Mirada contends is required under certain agreements and failing to provide information in a timely fashion; (3) failing to consult with Mirada and failing to obtain Mirada’s consent prior to drilling more than one well at a time in Wild Basin; and (4) by overstating the estimated costs of proposed well operations in Wild Basin. Mirada seeks a declaratory judgment that the Company be removed as operator in Wild Basin at Mirada’s election and that Mirada be allowed to elect a new operator; certain agreements apply to the Company and Mirada and Wild Basin with respect to this dispute; the Company be required to provide all information within its possession regarding proposed or ongoing operations in Wild Basin; and the Company not be permitted to drill, or propose to drill, more than one well at a time in Wild Basin without obtaining Mirada’s consent. Mirada also seeks a declaratory judgment with respect to the Company’s current midstream operations in Wild Basin. Specifically, Mirada seeks a declaratory judgment that Mirada has a right to participate in the Company’s Wild Basin midstream operations, consisting of produced water disposal, crude oil gathering and gas gathering and processing; that, upon Mirada’s election to participate, Mirada is obligated to pay its proportionate costs of the Company’s midstream operations in Wild Basin; and that Mirada would then be entitled to receive a share of revenues from the midstream operations and would not be charged any amount for its use of these facilities for production from the “Contract Area”.
On June 30, 2017, Mirada amended its original petition to add a claim that the Company has breached certain agreements by charging Mirada for midstream services provided by its affiliates and to seek a declaratory judgment that Mirada is entitled to be paid its share of total proceeds from the sale of hydrocarbons received by OPNA or any affiliate of OPNA without deductions for midstream services provided by OPNA or its affiliates.
The Company believes that Mirada’s claims are without merit, that the Company has complied with its obligations under the applicable agreements and that some of Mirada’s claims are grounded in agreements which do not apply to the Company. The Company filed an answer denying Mirada’s claims on April 21, 2017, and intends to vigorously defend against Mirada’s claims. Discovery is ongoing, and trial is currently scheduled for July 2018. However, the Company cannot predict or guarantee the ultimate outcome or resolution of such matter. If such matter were to be determined adversely to the Company’s interests, or if the Company were forced to settle such matterreference, for a significant amount, such resolution or settlement could have adiscussion of material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Such an adverse determination could materially impact the Company’s ability to operate its properties in Wild Basin or develop its identified drilling locations in Wild Basin on its current development schedule. A determination that Mirada has a right to participate in the Company’s midstream operations could materially reduce the interests of the Company in their current assets and future midstream opportunities and related revenues in Wild Basin.legal proceedings.
Item 1A. — Risk Factors
Our business faces many risks. Any of the risks discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our other SEC filings could have a material impact on our business, financial position or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations.
For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information in “Part I. Item 1A. “RiskRisk Factors” in our 20162021 Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our 20162021 Annual Report.Report, except as described below.

New climate disclosure rules proposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may increase our costs of compliance and adversely impact our business.
On March 21, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules relating to the disclosure of a range of climate-related risks. We are currently assessing the proposed rule, but at this time we cannot predict the costs of implementation or any potential adverse impacts resulting from the rule. To the extent this rule is finalized as proposed, we could incur increased costs relating to the assessment and disclosure of climate-related risks. We may also face increased litigation risks related to disclosures made pursuant to the rule if finalized as proposed. In addition, enhanced climate disclosure requirements could accelerate the trend of certain stakeholders and lenders restricting or seeking more stringent conditions with respect to their investments in certain carbon-intensive sectors. For more information on our risks related to ESG matters and attention to climate change, see our 2021 Form 10-K risk factors “Increasing attention and federal actions in regards to Environmental, Social or Governance (“ESG”) matters may impact our business” and “Our operations are subject to a series of risks arising out of the threat of climate change, energy conservation measures or initiatives that stimulate demand for alternative forms of energy that could result in increased operating costs, restrictions on drilling and reduced demand for the crude oil and natural gas that we produce.”
The Inflation Reduction Act could accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy and impose new costs on our operations.
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) which, among other provisions, imposes a fee on methane emissions from sources required to report their greenhouse gas emissions to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, including those sources in the onshore petroleum and natural gas production and gathering and boosting source categories. Beginning in 2024, the IRA’s methane emissions charge imposes a fee on excess methane emissions from certain oil and gas facilities, starting at $900 per metric ton of leaked methane in 2024 and rising to $1,200 in 2025, and $1,500 for 2026 and thereafter. The imposition of this fee and other provisions contained within the IRA could increase our operating costs and accelerate the transition away from oil and gas, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Risks Relating to the Merger
We may not realize anticipated benefits and synergies expected from the Merger.
Achieving the expected benefits of the Merger depends in part on successfully consolidating the Company’s and Whiting’s functions and integrating their operations and procedures in a timely and efficient manner, as well as being able to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining the companies’ businesses and operations. We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies expected from the Merger, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The Merger could also result in difficulties in being able to hire, train or retain qualified personnel to manage and operate the Company’s properties.
Achieving the expected benefits of the Merger requires, among other things, realization of the targeted synergies expected from the Merger, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate Whiting’s assets or otherwise realize the expected benefits of the Merger. The anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Difficulties in integrating Whiting’s assets and operations may result in the Company performing differently than expected, or in operational challenges or failures to realize anticipated efficiencies. Potential difficulties in realizing the anticipated benefits of the Merger include:
50

disruptions of relationships with customers, distributors, suppliers, vendors, landlords and other business partners as a result of uncertainty associated with the Merger;
difficulties integrating the Company’s business with the business of Whiting in a manner that permits us to achieve the full revenue and cost savings anticipated from the transaction;
complexities associated with managing a larger and more complex business, including difficulty addressing possible inconsistencies in, standards, controls or operational philosophies and the challenge of integrating complex systems, technology, networks and other assets of each of the companies in a seamless manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies;
difficulties realizing anticipated synergies;
difficulties integrating personnel, vendors and business partners;
loss of key employees who are critical to our future operations due to uncertainty about their roles within the Company following the Merger or other concerns regarding the Merger;
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses;
performance shortfalls at one or more of the companies as a result of the diversion of management’s attention to integration efforts; and
disruption of, or the loss of momentum in, the Company’s ongoing business.
We have also incurred a number of costs associated with the completion of the Merger and combining the businesses of Whiting and Chord. The elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the two companies, may not initially offset integration-related costs or achieve a net benefit in the near term, or at all. Matters relating to the Merger (including integration planning) require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which may result in the distraction of management from ongoing business operations and pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us.
Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to manage our expanded business by, among other things, integrating the assets, operations and personnel of Whiting and Chord in an efficient and timely manner; consolidating systems and management controls and successfully integrating relationships with customers, vendors and business partners. Failure to successfully manage the combined company may have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
The failure to integrate our businesses and operations with those of Whiting successfully in the expected time frame may adversely affect the combined business’ future results.
The Merger involved the combination of two companies that previously operated as independent public companies. It is possible that the process of integrating the two businesses following the Merger could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of either or both companies’ ongoing businesses, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, potential unknown liabilities, unforeseen expenses or delays or higher-than-expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated.
The future results of the combined company following the Merger will suffer if the combined company does not effectively manage its expanded operations.
Following the Merger, the size of the business of the combined company increased significantly. The combined company’s future success will depend, in part, upon its ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances that the combined company will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements or other benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.
