Item 2.01.     Resource Extraction Issuer Disclosure and Report.
Disclosure of Payments by Resource Extraction Issuers
The specified payment disclosure required by this Form is included in Exhibit 2.01 to this Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD.
On August 2, 2023, Civitas Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisitions (the “Acquisitions”) of all of the issued and outstanding equity ownership interests of Hibernia Energy III, LLC, Hibernia Energy III-B, LLC, Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC, Tap Rock Resources II, LLC and Tap Rock NM10 Holdings, LLC (collectively, the “Acquired Entities”), whereby each of the Acquired Entities became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In the last full fiscal year prior to the Acquisitions, none of the Acquired Entities were obligated to provide disclosure pursuant to Rule 13q-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the Company is relying on the delayed reporting provision of Item 2.01(b) to delay reporting payment information for the Acquired Entities until the filing of the Company’s Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
Business Segments of the Company
    As of December 31, 2023, the Company had one business segment: the acquisition, development, and production of crude oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas.
Projects of the Company
As of December 31, 2023, the Company owned and operated crude oil and natural gas wells in the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Colorado, the Permian Basin in Texas, and the Permian Basin in New Mexico, each of which it considers to be one project. The Company’s Permian Basin operations in Texas and New Mexico are a result of the completion of the Acquisitions. For additional information on the delayed reporting of payment information related to the Company’s Permian Basin operations in Texas and New Mexico, see “—Disclosure of Payments by Resource Extraction Issuers.”
