Oasis This Past Year (2017) -- December 12, 2017

From my "Bakken Operators" page, it is interesting to run through what Oasis has done this past year. It may be instructive. In retrospect two things stand out: a) deal-making; and, b) an interest in raising cash:

• enters the Permian; announces that it will buy 20,000 acres there; December 12, 2017
• expects to raise $500 million by selling non-core Bakken assets 
• had 517.8 thousand net acres in the Bakken prior to the announcement
• announces interest in spinning off an MLP, May 19, 2017
• Daily activity report: 156 SM Energy wells transferred to Oasis
• Record two-month production for Oasis? February 2, 2017.
• January, 2017: Motley Fool update; very, very bullish; SM Energy deal a big, big deal
• November, 2016: with SM Energy deal closing December 1, 2016, Oasis should have 540,000 net acres
• Oasis - SM Energy deal, October, 2016: SM Energy sells 55,000 non-Divide County acres to Oasis; $785 million deal
