Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
All mergers and acquisitions disclosed were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, we conducted assessments of the net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on inputs that are not observable in the market, and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. The fair values of crude oil and natural gas properties and asset retirement obligations were measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of proved oil and natural gas properties include estimates of reserves, future operating and development costs, future commodity prices, estimated future cash flows, and a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates by management at the time of the valuation.
HighPoint Merger
On April 1, 2021, Civitas completed its previously announced acquisition of HighPoint Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“HighPoint”), pursuant to the terms of HighPoint’s prepackaged plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Prepackaged Plan”), which was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on March 18, 2021 pursuant to a confirmation order, and went effective on April 1, 2021 (the “HighPoint Merger”).
The Prepackaged Plan implemented the merger and restructuring transactions in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2020 (the “HighPoint Merger Agreement”), by and among Civitas, HighPoint and Boron Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Civitas (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan and the HighPoint Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the HighPoint Merger (the “HighPoint Effective Time”) and the effective date under the Prepackaged Plan, Merger Sub merged with and into HighPoint, with HighPoint continuing as the surviving corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Civitas. At the HighPoint Effective Time, each eligible share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of HighPoint (“HighPoint Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the HighPoint Effective Time was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.11464 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Civitas (“Civitas Common Stock”), with cash paid in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares. As a result, Civitas issued 487,952 shares of Civitas Common Stock to former HighPoint stockholders.
Concurrently with the HighPoint Merger and pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, and in exchange for the $625.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2022 of HighPoint Operating Corporation (“HighPoint OpCo”) and 8.75% Senior Notes due 2025 of HighPoint OpCo (collectively, the “HighPoint Senior Notes”), Civitas issued to all holders of HighPoint Senior Notes an aggregate of (i) 9,314,214 shares of Civitas Common Stock and (ii) $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Senior Notes due 2026 (“7.5% Senior Notes”). Please refer to Note 5 - Long-term Debt for further discussion of the 7.5% Senior Notes.
Immediately after the HighPoint Effective Time, in connection with the HighPoint Merger, Civitas entered into the Second Amendment, dated April 1, 2021, to the Credit Facility. Please refer to Note 5 - Long-Term Debt for further discussion.

Extraction Merger
On November 1, 2021, Civitas completed its merger with Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Extraction”), pursuant to the terms of the related Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Extraction Merger Agreement”) (the “Extraction Merger”). Pursuant to the Extraction Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Extraction Merger of November 1, 2021 (the “Extraction Merger Effective Time”), (i) Raptor Eagle Merger Sub merged with and into Extraction, with Extraction continuing its existence as the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of Civitas following the Extraction Merger (the “Extraction Surviving Corporation”), (ii) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Extraction (the “Extraction Common Stock”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time was converted into the right to receive 1.1711 shares of Civitas Common Stock for each share of Extraction Common Stock (the “Extraction Exchange Ratio”).
Additionally, pursuant to the Extraction Merger Agreement, at the Extraction Merger Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units (including those subject to performance-based vesting conditions) issued pursuant to Extraction’s 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Extraction Equity Plan”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time and that by its terms did not settle by reason of the occurrence of the closing of the Extraction Merger (each, an “Extraction RSU Award”) was assumed by Civitas and converted into a number of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Civitas Common Stock (such restricted stock unit, a “Converted RSU”) equal to the product of the number of Extraction Common Stock subject to the Extraction RSU Award immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time multiplied by the Extraction Exchange Ratio, effective as of the Extraction Merger Effective Time.
As of the Extraction Merger Effective Time, each Converted RSU continued to be governed by the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the corresponding Extraction RSU Award immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time. In addition, Converted RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions held by certain Extraction executives provide that, in the event such individual’s employment is terminated for death, disability, by Civitas for any reason other individual for good reason, in each case, on or within twelve months following the Extraction Merger Effective Time, the portion of such individual’s Converted RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall, effective as of such individual’s termination date, immediately vest in full based on deemed achievement of any applicable performance goals at the maximum level of performance. Further, effective as of immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time, each award of deferred stock units granted under the Extraction Equity Plan and held by a member of the Extraction board who was not a designee of Extraction for appointment to Civitas’ board of directors ("Board") as of the Extraction Merger Effective Time immediately vested in full.
Additionally, at the Extraction Merger Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of (i) the Extraction Tranche A warrants to purchase Extraction Common Stock, issued pursuant to that certain Warrant Agreement by and between Extraction and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as warrant agent (“AST”), dated as of January 20, 2021 (the “Tranche A Warrants”), and (ii) the Extraction Tranche B warrants to purchase Extraction Common Stock, issued pursuant to that certain Warrant Agreement by and between Extraction and AST, as warrant agent, dated as of January 20, 2021 (the “Tranche B Warrants,” and, together with the Tranche A Warrants, the “Extraction Warrants”), that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time, were cancelled and Civitas executed a replacement warrant agreement for the Tranche A Warrants and a replacement warrant agreement for the Tranche B Warrants (each, a "Replacement Warrant Agreement") and issued to each holder of the Extraction Warrants a replacement warrant (each, a “Replacement Warrant”) that is exercisable for a number of shares of Civitas Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Civitas Common Stock that would have been issued or paid to a holder of the number of shares of Extraction Common Stock into which such Extraction Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time. Each Replacement Warrant has an exercise price as set forth in the applicable Replacement Warrant Agreement, subject to adjustment as set forth therein.
The Replacement Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on (i) January 20, 2025, in the case of the Replacement Warrants for the Tranche A Warrants, or (ii) January 20, 2026, in the case of the Replacement Warrants for the Tranche B Warrants. The number of shares of Civitas Common Stock for which a Replacement Warrant is exercisable, and the exercise price of such Replacement Warrant, are subject to customary adjustments from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including the payment of in-kind dividends or distributions, splits, subdivisions or combinations of shares of Civitas Common Stock. A holder of a Replacement Warrant, in its capacity as such, is not entitled to any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of Civitas, except to the extent expressly provided in the applicable Replacement Warrant Agreement. 3.4 million Tranche A Replacement Warrants and 1.7 million Tranche B Replacement Warrants were issued.

The valuation of proved oil and natural gas properties for the Extraction Merger applied a market-based weighted-average cost of capital rate of approximately 10%.
The purchase price allocation is preliminary, and Civitas is continuing to assess the fair values of certain of the Extraction assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In particular, assets and liabilities subject to potential adjustment, in amounts that could be material to the pro forma financial statements, include, but are not limited to, proved properties, unproved properties, and accounts payable and accrued expenses related to our continued assessment over the application of lease contracts and related deductions. We cannot reasonably estimate the impact of such conclusions as there is still a high level of uncertainty regarding the underlying terms and application.
Crestone Peak Merger
On November 1, 2021, Civitas completed its acquisition of CPPIB Crestone Peak Resources America Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Crestone Peak”), pursuant to the terms of the related Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Crestone Merger Agreement”) (the “Crestone Peak Merger”). Pursuant to the Crestone Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Crestone Peak Merger of November 1, 2021, (i) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Crestone Peak (the “Merger Sub 1 Merger”), with Crestone Peak continuing its existence as the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of Civitas following the Merger Sub 1 Merger (the “Crestone Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) subsequently, the Crestone Surviving Corporation merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Merger Sub 2 Merger” and together with the Merger Sub 1 Merger, the “Crestone Peak Merger”), with Merger Sub 2 continuing its existence as the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of Civitas (the “Crestone Surviving Entity”).
Pursuant to the Crestone Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger Sub 1 Merger (the “Merger Sub 1 Merger Effective Time”), the shares of Crestone Peak common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Crestone Peak Common Stock”) (excluding shares of Crestone Peak Common Stock held by Crestone Peak as treasury shares or by Civitas or Merger Sub 1 immediately prior to the Merger Sub 1 Merger Effective Time), issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Sub 1 Merger Effective Time were converted into the right to collectively receive 22.5 million shares of Civitas Common Stock (the “Crestone Peak Merger Consideration”). In addition, at the effective time of the Merger Sub 2 Merger (the “Merger Sub 2 Merger Effective Time”), each share of common stock of the Crestone Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Sub 2 Merger Effective Time was automatically cancelled and each unit of Merger Sub 2 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Sub 2 Merger Effective Time remained issued and outstanding and represents the only outstanding units of the Crestone Surviving Entity immediately following the Merger Sub 2 Merger.
