EXHIBIT 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and accompanying notes reflect the pro forma effects of the following transactions.

1.On February 1, 2022, Oasis Midstream Partners LP (“OMP”) and OMP GP LLC (“OMP GP”) completed their previously announced merger with Crestwood Equity Partners LP (“Crestwood”) pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 25, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the Merger Agreement, Oasis Petroleum Inc. (the “Company” or “Oasis”) sold to Crestwood its entire ownership of OMP common units and all of the limited liability company interests of OMP GP in exchange for $160.0 million in cash and 20,985,668 common units of Crestwood, which represented approximately 21% of Crestwood’s issued and outstanding common units as of February 1, 2022 (the “OMP Merger”). In addition, the Company and Crestwood executed a director nomination agreement pursuant to which the Company appointed two directors to the Board of Directors of Crestwood GP LLC (“Crestwood GP”), a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Crestwood.

The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Crestwood based upon its ownership in Crestwood and its representation on the Board of Directors of Crestwood GP. Accordingly, the Company has determined its investment in Crestwood is subject to the equity method of accounting and plans to elect the fair value option under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) to account for the equity method investment.

2.On October 21, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of approximately 95,000 net acres in the Williston Basin, effective April 1, 2021, from QEP Energy Company (“QEP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diamondback Energy Inc., for total cash consideration, after purchase price adjustments, of $585.8 million (the “Williston Basin Acquisition”). The Company funded the Williston Basin Acquisition with cash on hand, including proceeds from the Permian Basin Sale (defined below) and the issuance on June 9, 2021 of $400.0 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 2026 (the “Senior Notes”).

3.The Company completed a series of transactions during the second quarter of 2021 to divest all of its exploration and production (“E&P”) assets in the Permian Basin for total cash consideration, after purchase price adjustments, of $372.3 million (the “Permian Basin Sale”). The Company first divested certain wellbore interests in the Permian Basin to separate buyers for total cash proceeds of $30.0 million. On June 29, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its remaining E&P assets in the Permian Basin, effective March 1, 2021, to Percussion Petroleum Operating II, LLC for cash proceeds, after purchase price adjustments, of $342.3 million and up to three earn-out payments of $25.0 million per year for each of 2023, 2024 and 2025.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 was prepared as if the OMP Merger had occurred on December 31, 2021. The Williston Basin Acquisition, the issuance of the Senior Notes and the Permian Basin Sale were included in the Company’s historical consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 was prepared as if the OMP Merger, the Williston Basin Acquisition, the issuance of the Senior Notes and the Permian Basin Sale had occurred on January 1, 2021. The Company’s historical audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 included the effects of (i) the Williston Basin Acquisition from October 21, 2021 through December 31, 2021; (ii) the issuance of the Senior Notes from June 9, 2021 through December 31, 2021 and (iii) the Permian Basin Sale from January 1, 2021 through June 29, 2021. In addition, the OMP Merger represented a strategic shift for the Company and qualified as a discontinued operation in accordance with FASB ASC 205-20, Presentation of financial statements – Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”). Accordingly, the results of operations of OMP were classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the assets and liabilities of OMP were classified as held for sale in the Company’s historical consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. In accordance with Regulation S-X 11-02, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations is presented through income from continuing operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and, as it pertains to the Williston Basin Acquisition, the unaudited historical Statement of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses for the period from January 1, 2021 through October 20, 2021 of properties acquired in the Williston Basin Acquisition, which was derived from information provided by QEP.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and underlying pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and include certain estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management; accordingly, actual results could differ materially from the pro forma information. Management believes that the assumptions

used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and accompanying notes provide a reasonable and reliably determinable basis for presenting the significant effects of the above transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the above transactions had occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read together with (i) the Company’s audited historical consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 25, 2022; (ii) the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information giving effect to the Permian Basin Sale, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on July 6, 2021; (iii) the Company’s unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information giving effect to the Williston Basin Acquisition, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A with the SEC on December 20, 2021; (iv) Crestwood’s audited historical consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022; and (v) the unaudited historical Statement of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses and notes thereto of the Williston Basin Acquisition properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A with the SEC on December 20, 2021.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

  1. Basis of Presentation

On February 1, 2022, OMP and OMP GP completed the OMP Merger with Crestwood. At the closing of the OMP Merger, the Company sold to Crestwood its entire ownership of OMP common units and all of the limited liability company interests of OMP GP in exchange for $160.0 million in cash and 20,985,668 common units of Crestwood, which represented approximately 21% of Crestwood’s issued and outstanding common units as of February 1, 2022. In addition, the Company appointed two directors to the Board of Directors of Crestwood GP in connection with the execution of a director nomination agreement at closing.

At closing on February 1, 2022, the Company accounted for the derecognition of OMP from its consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation (“ASC 810-10”) and derecognized the assets, liabilities and equity of OMP, including non-controlling interests. Upon deconsolidation, the Company recognized a gain that was recorded to income from discontinued operations, net of income tax. In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations is presented through income from continuing operations; accordingly, the pro forma adjustments presented herein do not show the effects of the gain on sale within the pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated combined statement of operations.

The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Crestwood based upon its ownership in Crestwood and its representation on the Board of Directors of Crestwood GP. Accordingly, the Company has determined its investment in Crestwood is subject to the equity method of accounting and plans to elect the fair value option under ASC 825-10 to account for the equity method investment. In accordance with ASC 825-10, the Company will present its equity method investment in Crestwood at fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value and distributions received from Crestwood recorded to income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate on the statement of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 was prepared as if the OMP Merger had occurred on December 31, 2021. The Williston Basin Acquisition, the issuance of the Senior Notes and the Permian Basin Sale were included in the Company’s historical consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 was prepared as if the OMP Merger, the Williston Basin Acquisition, the issuance of the Senior Notes and the Permian Basin Sale had occurred on January 1, 2021. The Company’s historical audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 included the effects of (i) the Williston Basin Acquisition from October 21, 2021 through December 31, 2021; (ii) the issuance of the Senior Notes from June 9, 2021 through December 31, 2021 and (iii) the Permian Basin Sale from January 1, 2021 through June 29, 2021. In addition, the OMP Merger represented a strategic shift for the Company and qualified as a discontinued operation in accordance with ASC 205-20. Accordingly, the results of operations of OMP were classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the assets and liabilities of OMP were classified as held for sale in the Company’s historical consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations is presented through income from continuing operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and, as it pertains to the Williston Basin Acquisition, the unaudited historical Statement of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses for the period from January 1, 2021 through October 20, 2021 of properties acquired in the Williston Basin Acquisition, which was derived from information provided by QEP.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and underlying pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and include certain estimates and assumptions made by management; accordingly, actual results could differ materially from the pro forma information. Management believes the assumptions provide a reasonable and reliably determinable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions described above. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and may or may not provide an indication of results in the future.

  1. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

Balance Sheet

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 reflects the following adjustments:

(a) Represents the cash consideration received upon closing of the OMP Merger.

(b) Represents the derecognition of assets, liabilities and equity components of OMP in connection with the OMP Merger.

(c) Represents the fair value of equity consideration received. Fair value was determined using Level 2 inputs, including the quoted market price of Crestwood’s publicly traded common units on February 1, 2022 of $28.18 per common unit adjusted to reflect a discount due to a restriction on the Company’s ability to sell the investment 90 days from the closing date.

(d) Represents intercompany payables from Oasis to OMP for midstream services as of December 31, 2021. The Company will have continuing cash outflows to Crestwood for gathering, processing, transportation and water handling costs pursuant to the existing contractual arrangements between the Company and OMP that were assigned to Crestwood at closing.

(e) Represents the transaction costs from the OMP Merger incurred by Oasis.

(f) Represents the estimated income tax impact from the OMP Merger.

(g) Represents the impact to retained earnings as follows:

(In thousands)
Cash consideration $ 160,000
Fair value of equity consideration 568,312
Carrying amount of non-controlling interests in OMP 188,673
Less:
Carrying amount of OMP assets $ 1,094,438
Carrying amount of OMP liabilities (702,964)
Carrying amount of OMP net assets $ 391,474
Transaction costs(1) (11,368)
Gain from OMP Merger $ 514,143
Tax impact (8,362)
Impact to retained earnings $ 505,781

(1) Includes remaining transaction costs of $8.1 million incurred by Oasis and $3.3 million incurred by OMP. Transaction costs incurred during 2021 were expensed as incurred.

Statement of Operations

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflects the following adjustments:

(a) Represents the income from the Company’s investment in Crestwood, comprised of the change in the fair value of $196.2 million and cash distributions of $52.5 million. The change in the fair value of the investment in Crestwood was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the investment as of December 31, 2021 of $579.0 million and the fair value of the investment as of December 31, 2020 of $382.8 million. The fair value of the investment in Crestwood as of December 31, 2021 was determined using Level 1 inputs based upon the quoted market price for Crestwood’s publicly traded common units, while the fair value of the investment in Crestwood as of December 31, 2020 was determined using Level 2 inputs based upon the quoted market price for Crestwood’s publicly traded common units adjusted to reflect a value discount due to a restriction on the Company's ability to sell the investment 90 days from the closing date. Crestwood paid cash distributions to its limited partners of $2.50 per common unit during 2021.

(b) Represents the estimated income tax impact from the OMP Merger based on a blended tax rate of 23.7%.

(c) Represents the revenues and direct operating expenses from the oil and gas properties acquired in the Williston Basin Acquisition for the period from January 1, 2021 through October 20, 2021.
