Oasis Midstream Partners LP owns, develops, operates and acquires a portfolio of midstream assets in North America. OMP GP LLC serves as the general partner for the company. The company operates as a subsidiary of OMS Holdings LLC (OMS Holdings), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oasis Petroleum Inc (Oasis Petroleum).
The company offers full service midstream solutions to its customers covering their oil, gas and water needs. Its full scale of operations includes natural gas services (gathering, compression, processing and gas lift supply), crude oil services (gathering, terminaling and transportation) and water services (gathering and disposal of produced and flowback water and freshwater distribution). The company’s assets are located in the heart of the oil-rich Williston and Permian Basins and are integral to the crude oil and natural gas operations of Oasis Petroleum. Its assets are also strategically positioned to capture volumes from other producers.
The company has significant acreage dedications from Oasis Petroleum and commitments from third party producers in both the Williston and Permian Basins. In the Williston Basin, the company divides its operations into two primary areas with developed midstream infrastructure. In Wild Basin, it provides natural gas services (gathering, compression, processing and gas lift supply), crude oil services (gathering, terminaling and transportation), and water services (gathering and disposal of produced and flowback water and freshwater distribution) to the company’s customers. Outside of Wild Basin, it provides water services (gathering and disposal of produced and flowback water and freshwater distribution) to its customers. In the Permian Basin, the company operates strategically located infrastructure, where it provides crude oil services (gathering) and water services (gathering and disposal of produced and flowback water) to the company’s customers, with connection points to key market hubs.
