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. Associated transaction and integration costs 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. Please refer to Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements for additional discussion regarding the various levels within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of 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 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 acquired HighPoint Resources 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”) (the “HighPoint Merger”). Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, each share of common stock of HighPoint issued and outstanding was converted into 0.11464 shares of common stock of Civitas (“Civitas Common Stock”). As a result, Civitas issued 488.0 thousand shares of Civitas Common Stock to former HighPoint stockholders.
Concurrently with the HighPoint Merger and pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, in exchange for the aggregate principal amount outstanding of HighPoint’s senior notes, Civitas issued an aggregate of (i) 9.3 million 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, which have since been redeemed in full.
The purchase price allocation was finalized as of the first quarter of 2022. The following tables present the merger consideration and final purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the HighPoint Merger:

Extraction Merger
On November 1, 2021, Civitas completed its merger with Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. (“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, each share of common stock of Extraction issued and outstanding was converted into 1.1711 shares of Civitas Common Stock (the “Extraction Exchange Ratio”). As a result, Civitas issued 31.1 million shares of Civitas Common Stock to former Extraction stockholders.
Additionally, each unvested award of restricted stock units issued pursuant to Extraction’s 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Extraction Equity Plan”) 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”) using the Extraction Exchange Ratio. Each Converted RSU continued to be governed by the same terms and conditions that were applicable immediately prior to the Extraction Merger closing date.
Further, Civitas executed warrant agreements to replace the warrants previously issued by Extraction consisting of (i) 3.4 million Tranche A warrants to purchase Civitas Common Stock at an exercise price of $91.91 in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or before January 20, 2025, issued pursuant to a warrant agreement by and between Civitas and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as warrant agent (“Broadridge”), dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Tranche A Warrants”), and (ii) 1.7 million Tranche B warrants to purchase Civitas Common Stock at an exercise price of $104.45 in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or before (i) January 20, 2026, issued pursuant to a warrant agreement by and between Civitas and Broadridge, as warrant agent, dated as of November 1, 2021 (the “Tranche B Warrants,” and, together with the Tranche A Warrants, the “Warrants”). A holder of a 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 warrant agreement. Please refer to Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion.

Revenue and earnings of the acquiree
The amount of revenue of HighPoint, Extraction, and Crestone Peak included in our statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $244.7 million, $172.3 million, and $114.8 million, respectively. We determined that disclosing the amount of HighPoint, Extraction, and Crestone Peak related earnings included in the statements of operation is impracticable, as the operations from these mergers were integrated into the operations of the Company from the dates of each acquisition.
Supplemental pro forma financial information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information (in thousands, except per share amounts) represents a summary of the consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, assuming the HighPoint, Extraction, and Crestone Peak mergers had been completed as of January 1, 2020. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the mergers had been effective as of this date, or of future results, and includes certain non-recurring pro forma adjustments that were directly attributable to the business combinations (in thousands, except per share amounts).
