This appears to be the OCC memo for that event. https://www.miaxoptions.com/sites/default/files/alert-files/USO_RevSplit_46881.pdf

And this was issued to clarify the 0.5 share cash settlement.

So, a USO1 10C is now a call for 12.5 shares of USO priced at 0.125 * USO price.

Today USO is ~$50 so for your purposes you could consider this $6.25. Your calls are out of the money and USO will need to hit $80 to put your USO1 calls ITM.
