With operation across approximately 425,000 net acres, Civitas will have a production base of 117,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Upon the completion of the deal, shareholders of Bonanza Creek and Extraction will each hold nearly 50% stake in Civitas.

Extraction CEO Tom Tyree said: “We believe the combination of Bonanza Creek and Extraction will create one of the most durable, profitable, and progressive producers in the DJ Basin, with premium assets at the front end of the cost curve.

“Collectively, we will create significant value for all stakeholders as we will become Colorado’s first net-zero oil and gas producer through the continuing reduction in operational emissions coupled with a multi-year investment in certified emissions offsets.”
