HOUSTON, Feb. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Oasis Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: OMP) (the "Partnership" or "OMP") today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017 and provided its 2018 outlook.

Recent Highlights:

• Completed its initial public offering of 8,625,000 common units, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $137.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and structuring fees, of which $132.1 million was distributed to Oasis Petroleum.
• Declared initial quarterly cash distribution of $0.3750 per unit for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and declared the third quarter distribution of $0.0245 per unit for the six days ended September 30, 2017.
• Net income was $33.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and net income attributable to the Partnership was $11.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $37.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and net Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Partnership was $13.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017.⁽¹⁾
• Distributable Cash Flow was $11.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017, resulting in distribution coverage of 1.12x.⁽¹⁾
• Completed assignment of second Wild Basin gas plant ("Gas Plant II") to Bighorn DevCo, with total capacity of 200 million standard cubic feet per day ("MMscfpd") to service gas production from Oasis Petroleum's highly economic inventory. Gas Plant II is on schedule to begin operations in late 2018.
• Deployed temporary gas processing units with total capacity of 40 MMscfpd in Wild Basin to process gas volumes in excess of current processing capacity.

 

"We delivered a successful first full quarter as a public company, positioning ourselves to grow distributions per unit annually at 20%, while also increasing coverage over time," said Taylor Reid, Chief Executive Officer of OMP. "We continue to make progress on our 200 MMscfpd gas plant and expect it to start on time in late 2018 and on budget. Our business development team has identified new opportunities to bring in third party volumes into our Bighorn DevCo and has further identified opportunities to grow volumes in our Bobcat and Beartooth DevCos, as we are forecasting higher throughput volumes than originally anticipated. Our new guidance reflects the incremental capital and volumes that we expect to capture. We continue to invest capital at attractive build multiples, resulting in capital efficient growth opportunities for OMP."

Other Key Developments:

• Optimization of Johnson's Corner pipeline, improving forecasted crude oil throughput volumes by over 15% to 40 - 42 Mbopd;
• Early success in the fourth quarter of 2017 obtaining third party volumes for Beartooth DevCo, including both produced and freshwater volumes, leading to projected water volumes of 100 to 105 Mbowpd;
• Spent $94.7 million on Gas Plant II in 2017, which includes $66.7 million for the assignment from Oasis Petroleum, with the remaining of the $140 million total Gas Plant II costs expected to be invested in 2018; and
• Identified growth opportunities for Bobcat DevCo due to increased gas volumes in Wild Basin. Forecasted gas volumes have increased by over 30% to 132 - 140 MMscfpd in 2018, and OMP now anticipates gas volumes for Bobcat to exceed 200 MMscfpd by mid 2019, which represents an increase of over 50% compared to original forecasts. Additionally, OMP expects to gather incremental oil and water in Wild Basin and will invest additional CapEx in Bobcat to capture these volumes. OMP expects to invest this incremental CapEx at four to five times build multiples.
