For Investors Only: Investopedia Has a Nice Article on Oasis

Link here to Investopedia.

I don't care for this site: way too much space devoted to advertising with the "news" stories and op-ed pieces in small font (which, of course, with Apple, one can zoom in with a simple key stroke).

However, having said that, the site provides a lot more depth than Motley Fool, and some great educational links.

With regard to Oasis:

There's a lot to like about Bakken. Drilling results have been good, the asset base is excellent, and the company is led by experienced management. As time goes on, I see no particular reason that investors should not expect significant production increases and ongoing reserve growth.

When it comes to valuation, things get hazy. While EV/EBITDA analysis works pretty well for established producers, it tends to undervalue growth plays. Likewise, while NAV-based analysis looks more rigorous, there is a tremendous amount of guesswork in the numbers for a company like Oasis with so much undeveloped acreage.
