The structure is a simple interjection, likely a shortened or softened version of "oops" or "oh," common in casual speech. It is used in the Midwestern United States (and parts of Canada) to apologize, get someone's attention, or acknowledge a minor accident or near miss, such as bumping into someone, dropping something, or squeezing past in a narrow aisle. People typically say "Ope, sorry about that" or "Ope, let me just sneak right past ya."
