Commodity price exposure risk.

We are exposed to market risk as the prices of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including changes in supply and demand and the macroeconomic environment, all of which are typically beyond our control.

The markets for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs have been volatile, especially over the last several years and these prices will likely continue to be volatile in the future.

The markets for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas have been volatile, especially over the last several years and 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 derivative instruments in the past and expect to enter into derivative instruments in the future to cover a significant portion of our future production.

In addition, entering into derivative instruments could limit the benefit we would receive from increases in the prices for crude oil and natural gas.

The fair value of our commodity derivative instruments was a net liability of $204.7 million at December 31, 2021.

The fair value of our unrealized crude oil derivative positions at December 31, 2022 was a net liability position of $291.9 million.

A 10% increase in crude oil prices would increase the fair value of this unrealized derivative liability position by approximately $102.4 million, while a 10% decrease in crude oil prices would decrease the fair value of this unrealized derivative liability position by approximately $99.2 million.

The fair value of our unrealized NGL derivative positions at December 31, 2022 was a net asset of $2.8 million.

A 10% increase or decrease in NGL prices would decrease or increase, respectively, the fair value of this unrealized derivative asset position by approximately $0.6 million.

The fair value of our unrealized natural gas derivative positions at December 31, 2022 was a net liability of $16.0 million.

A 10% increase in natural gas prices would increase the fair value of this unrealized derivative liability position by approximately $2.2 million, while a 10% decrease in natural gas prices would decrease the fair value of this unrealized derivative liability position by approximately $5.8 million.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 9—Derivative Instruments” for additional information regarding our derivative instruments.

In addition, in connection with the sale of our upstream assets in the Permian Basin in June 2021, we are entitled to receive up to three earn-out payments of $25.0 million per year for each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 if the average daily settlement price of NYMEX WTI crude oil exceeds $60 per barrel for such year.

If the NYMEX WTI crude oil price for calendar year 2023 or 2024 is less than $45 per barrel, then each calendar year thereafter our right to receive any remaining earn-out payments is terminated.

As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of this contingent consideration was $60.9 million.

Interest rate risk.

At December 31, 2022, we had $400.0 million of senior unsecured notes at a fixed cash interest rate of 6.375% per annum.

At December 31, 2021, we had no borrowings and $2.4 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Oasis Credit Facility, which were subject to varying rates of interest based on (i) the total outstanding borrowings (including the value of all outstanding letters of credit) in relation to the borrowing base and (ii) whether the loan is a London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) loan (defined in the Oasis Credit Facility as a Eurodollar loan) or a domestic bank prime interest rate loan (defined in the Oasis Credit Facility as an Alternate Based Rate or “ABR” loan).

At December 31, 2021, the outstanding borrowings under the Oasis Credit Facility bore interest at LIBOR (including a 0.25% LIBOR floor) plus a 3.00% margin.

The unused borrowing base capacity is subject to a commitment fee of 0.5%.

We do not currently, but may in the future, utilize interest rate derivatives to mitigate interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce interest rate expense related to debt issued under the Oasis Credit Facility.

At December 31, 2022, we had no borrowings and $6.4 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility, which were subject to varying rates of interest based on (i) the total outstanding borrowings (including the value of all outstanding letters of credit) in relation to the borrowing base and (ii) whether the loan is a Term SOFR Loan or an ABR Loan (each as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement).

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 15—Long-Term Debt” for additional information on the interest incurred on the 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.

LIBOR transition.

Amounts drawn under the Oasis Credit Facility bear interest rates in relation to LIBOR.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K.

announced a desire to phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of 2021.

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee consisting of large U.S.

financial institutions convened by the U.S.

Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has recommended replacing LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), an index supported by short-term Treasury repurchase agreements.

The credit agreement governing the Oasis Credit Facility includes customary provisions to provide for replacement of LIBOR with SOFR when LIBOR ceases to be available.

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.

Impact of Inflation .

The impact of inflation has been minor in recent years and generally has not had a material impact on our historical results of operations for the periods presented in this report;

however, inflation has become a significant factor in the United States economy and we have recently observed inflationary pressure on our well costs and operating costs.

See “Part I, Item 1A.—Risk Factors—Our profitability may be negatively impacted by inflation in the cost of labor, materials and services.”

Inflation risks.

Similar to other companies in our industry, we have experienced an increase in the costs of labor, materials and services during 2022 due to a combination of factors, including:

(i) global supply chain disruptions resulting in limited availability of certain materials and equipment (including drill pipe, casing and tubing), (ii) increased demand for fuel and steel, (iii) increased demand for services coupled with a limited availability of service providers and (iv) labor shortages.

The combination of these factors increased our operating costs and capital expenditures in 2022, which in turn negatively impacted our operating results and cash flows.

We believe that these inflationary pressures could continue in 2023 for certain costs, such as the costs of workover rigs, even if inflationary pressures were to level-off for certain other costs, such as steel and tubular goods.

We seek to mitigate these inflationary impacts by reviewing our pricing agreements on a regular basis and entering into agreements with our service providers to manage costs and availability of certain services that are utilized in our operations.

It is difficult to predict whether such inflationary pressures will have a materially negative impact to our overall financial and operating results in 2023;

however, such inflationary pressures are not expected to materially impact our overall liquidity position, cash requirements or financial position, or the ability to conduct our day-to-day drilling, completion and production activities.

See “Part I, Item 1A.—Risk Factors—Our profitability may be negatively impacted by inflation in the cost of labor, materials and services and general economic, business or industry conditions” for additional information.
