Explanatory Note.

Oasis Petroleum Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2017 for the purpose of disclosing under Item 5.07 of Form 8-K its decision following its annual meeting of stockholders as to the frequency with which it will include a stockholder vote on the compensation of executives in its annual meeting proxy materials until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of executives. This Amendment No. 1 does not otherwise amend or modify the May 9, 2017 Form 8-K in any way.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 4, 2017, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other things, an advisory proposal concerning the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. As reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 9, 2017, at the meeting, consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, stockholders cast the highest number of votes for an annual frequency instead of a biennial (every two years) or a triennial (every three years) frequency. In light of this vote and other factors, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold an annual advisory vote on executive compensation. Accordingly, the Company will include an advisory vote on executive compensation every year in its future proxy materials until the next stockholder vote on the frequency of such votes. The Company will re-evaluate the determination in connection with its next stockholder advisory vote regarding the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
