" The successful conclusion of our Permian divestiture process allows us to bring substantial value forward from an asset that was difficult to scale , strengthens our balance sheet from already peer - leading levels , and allows us to focus our attention on driving significant value from our world - class Williston acreage position , where we see great upside opportunity and long - term running room . The combined Williston and Permian transactions are highly accretive , position Oasis to take advantage of expanded scale , result in very low leverage , and demonstrate our commitment to shareholders . We believe Oasis represents a compelling investment opportunity , and we will continue to be aggressive in pursuing strategies to unlock value .
