Measurable targets, proven performance, and transparency reflect Company's commitment to responsible operations

Civitas Resources, Inc. (NYSE:CIVI) ("Civitas" or the "Company") today published its 2024 Corporate Sustainability Report, providing transparency around the Company's sustainability initiatives, targets, and progress toward stated goals. This is the first sustainability report following Civitas' entry into the Permian Basin and includes a pathway for how the larger, more diversified company will achieve its updated targets.

"In 2023, we transformed our company through strategic acquisitions, creating a stronger, more durable, and balanced Civitas, without sacrificing our commitment to sustainability," said Chris Doyle, Civitas CEO. "We're working as a team to advance carbon neutrality, emissions reduction, safety, and stakeholder engagement across our portfolio. Our sustainability report demonstrates a track record of the Company's progress and shows how Civitas will continue to innovate and improve in 2024 and beyond."

Civitas was originally founded as a DJ Basin operator and in 2021 became Colorado's first carbon neutral operator. In 2023, the Company expanded into the prolific Permian Basin, doubling its overall scale and size. Civitas' latest corporate sustainability report shows how the Company successfully executes on its mission to "disrupt energy for good" by minimizing environmental impacts, prioritizing employees and local communities, and enhancing its sustainability governance practices.

Highlights from the report include:

  • Reduced emissions: Achieved 41% reduction in greenhouse gas emission intensity across its DJ Basin assets from 2019 to 2023, in part, by retrofitting approximately 10,000 pneumatic devices
  • Delivered on voluntary initiatives: Plugged 19 orphan wells in Colorado in 2023 with 24 more in-progress for 2024 reducing emissions and helping to return acreage to surface owners
  • Continued commitment to carbon neutrality: Achieved zero routine flaring and maintained carbon neutrality(1) in its DJ Basin assets; committed to achieve both in the Permian Basin(2)
  • Proven safety performance: Had a combined Total Recordable Incident Rate(3) of 0.23 in 2023 — beating our 2023 safety performance target
  • Updated targets: Published updated targets, inclusive of the Company's recently acquired Permian Basin assets including, but not limited to, a corporate 40% absolute emission reduction and a Permian Basin pneumatic emission reduction of 65%, both by 2030

(1)

Carbon neutrality refers to the purchase of verified carbon credits and renewable energy certificates in an amount that offsets emissions

(2)

Carbon neutrality will begin the January after the first calendar year of operational control of any acquisition, and Civitas has aligned its Permian Basin assets with the World Bank's Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 Initiative

(3)

Per OSHA 29 CFR Part 1904, incidence rate of injuries and illnesses computed as the number of recordable injuries and illnesses X 200,000 / hours worked
