Oasis Petroleum Inc. Announces Second Amended Credit Agreement and Redetermination of Borrowing Base, Provides an Update on Outstanding Hedges, and Announces Participation in Upcoming Conferences

HOUSTONApril 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: OAS) ("Oasis" or the "Company") today announced that it entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with its bank syndicate.  The lenders under the Company's revolving credit agreement completed their regular semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base, resulting in an increase to the borrowing base from $750 million to $1,250 million. However, the Company elected to limit the lenders' aggregate commitment to $900 million.  The lenders' aggregate commitment can be increased to the full $1,250 million borrowing base by increasing the commitment of one or more lenders.  As part of the amendment, the overall credit facility increased from $1 billion to $2.5 billion.  Additionally, Oasis added four new lenders to the bank group. As of March 31, 2013, Oasis had no outstanding indebtedness under its revolving credit facility, and it had $2.2 million of letters of credit, which reduce the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility.  The next redetermination of the borrowing base is scheduled for October 1, 2013.
