Permian Basin Sale. On May 20, 2021, Oasis Petroleum Permian LLC (“OPP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Primary Permian Basin Sale PSA”) with Percussion Petroleum Operating II, LLC (“Percussion”). Pursuant to the Primary Permian Basin Sale PSA, OPP agreed to sell to Percussion its remaining upstream assets in the Texas region of the Permian Basin with an effective date of March 1, 2021 for an aggregate purchase price of $450.0 million (the “Primary Permian Basin Sale”). The aggregate purchase price consists of $375.0 million cash at closing and up to three earn-out payments of $25.0 million per year for each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 if the average daily settlement price of NYMEX WTI crude oil exceeds $60.00 per barrel for such year.

On June 29, 2021, the Company completed the Primary Permian Basin Sale and received cash proceeds (after purchase price adjustments) of $347.3 million. In addition to the Primary Permian Basin Sale, the Company divested certain wellbore interests in the Texas region of the Permian Basin to separate buyers in the second quarter of 2021 and received cash proceeds (after purchase price adjustments) of $24.0 million (the “Additional Permian Basin Sale” and together with the Primary Permian Basin Sale, the “Permian Basin Sale”). The assets divested in the Permian Basin Sale were in the Company’s E&P segment.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded income before income taxes related to the Permian Basin Sale assets of $5.9 million and $268.1 million, respectively, which included a gain on sale of properties of $4.9 million and $227.4 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Predecessor), the Company recorded income before income taxes related to the assets divested in the Permian Basin Sale of $12.1 million and loss before income taxes of $883.0 million, respectively.

The Company accounted for revenues and expenses related to assets divested in the Permian Basin Sale as income from continuing operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations because the Permian Basin Sale did not cause a strategic shift for the Company and as a result, did not qualify as discontinued operations under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 205-20, Presentation of financial statements – Discontinued Operations.

Other. On March 22, 2021, the Company completed the sale of certain well services equipment and inventory in connection with its 2020 exit from the well services business for total consideration of $5.5 million, comprised of cash proceeds of $2.6 million and a $2.9 million 6.6% promissory note due within one year, which is included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The divested well services equipment and inventory were in the Company’s E&P segment.
