Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Operations When we use the terms “Civitas,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” we are referring to Civitas Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires. Effective November 1, 2021, Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. changed its name to Civitas Resources, Inc. Civitas is an independent Denver-based exploration and production company focused on the acquisition, development, and production of oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas in the Rocky Mountain region, primarily in the Wattenberg Field of the Denver-Julesburg Basin (“DJ Basin”). Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The December 31, 2021 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”), but does not include all disclosures, including notes required by GAAP. As such, this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2021 Form 10-K. In connection with the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of September 30, 2022, through the filing date of this report. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other future period. Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2021 Form 10-K and are supplemented by the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards In March 2020, the FASB issued Update No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the LIBOR. The amendment provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. Further, in January 2021, the FASB issued Update No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848. These amendments are effective upon issuance and expire on December 31, 2022. We do not anticipate a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. There are no other accounting standards applicable to the Company that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures that have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company as of September 30, 2022, and through the filing date of this report.
