Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas B. Nusz, commented, "Oasis executed well through an exceptionally tumultuous period. The Oasis team responded swiftly and effectively, powering down activity in an orderly manner, significantly lowering operating cost structure and capital while maintaining the integrity of our infrastructure to enhance flexibility for the future. The team was successful in keeping per unit lease operating expense low despite significant shut-ins reflecting meticulous cost management, including a carefully planned curtailment process, pricing concessions, labor optimization, and deferring workovers. Strip pricing has improved materially, but Oasis will maintain a prudent approach to future activity. Capital efficiency improvements and a significantly lower cost structure will improve economics for future development. Additionally, cash generation and free cash flow benefit from a robust hedge position and our midstream ownership which continues to support industry leading gas capture. As always, we remain focused on the health and safety of our employees, contractors, and communities."
