For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited)
CPPIB Crestone Peak Resources America Inc. was formed in Delaware, United States, on October 2, 2015 as a wholly owned subsidiary of CPPIB Crestone Peak Resources Canada Inc., an affiliate of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. CPPIB Crestone Peak Resources America Inc. and its subsidiaries (herein referred to collectively as the "Company") is privately-held and engages in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids ("NGLs"), primarily in the Denver-Julesburg Basin ("DJ Basin"). Crestone Peak Resources, LP is owned 96% by the Company, 3% by Broe Group, and 1% by Crestone Peak Resources Management LP.
The Company's oil and gas assets are held by Crestone Peak Resources, LLC, a 100% owned subsidiary of Crestone Peak Resources, LP, and comprise net acres of oil, natural gas, and NGLs producing properties located in the Wattenberg area of the DJ Basin (the "Properties"). The wells target the Sussex, Shannon, Niobrara, Codell, Greenhorn, J-Sand and Dakota formations.
On June 6, 2021, the Company, Bonanza Creek Energy Inc ("Bonanza"), Raptor Condor Merger Sub 1, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bonanza, and Raptor Condor Merger Sub 2, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bonanza, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Crestone Peak Merger Agreement").
The Crestone Peak Merger Agreement, among other things, provided for Bonanza's acquisition of the Company through (i) the merger of Raptor Condor Merger Sub 1, Inc. with and into the Company (the "Merger Sub 1 Merger"), with the Company continuing its existence as the surviving corporation and (ii) the subsequent merger of the Company with and into Raptor Condor Merger Sub 2, LLC (the "Merger Sub 2 Merger"), with Raptor Condor Merger Sub 2, LLC continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bonanza. Together, Merger Sub 1 Merger and Merger Sub 2 Merger comprise the "Crestone Peak Merger".
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger Sub 1 Merger, the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the Merger Sub 1 Merger would be converted into the right to collectively receive 22,500,000 shares of Bonanza common stock.

| 1. | Organization (continued): |
The closing of the Crestone Peak Merger was expressly conditioned on Bonanza's closing of the pending Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Extraction") merger pursuant to the Extraction merger agreement prior to or substantially concurrent with the closing of the Crestone Peak Merger. Following the completion of the Crestone Peak Merger, it was anticipated that persons who were stockholders of Bonanza, Extraction and the Company immediately prior to the Crestone Peak Merger would own approximately 37%, 37% and 26% of the combined company, respectively.
The Extraction merger and the Crestone Peak Merger were approved by shareholders on October 29, 2021 and the Crestone Peak Merger closed on November 1, 2021. As a result Bonanza's name was changed to Civitas Resources, Inc. and Bonanza's stock symbol on the NYSE was changed to CIVI.
| (a) | Basis of presentation: |
The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, these Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these Interim Financial Statements pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

| 2. | Basis of preparation (continued): |
| (b) | Principles of consolidation: |
The Interim Financial Statements of the Company include the accounts of CPPIB Crestone Peak Resources America Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries where the Company has the ability to exercise control. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest based on either the VIE or voting interest model. The Company is required to first apply the VIE model to determine whether it holds a variable interest in an entity, and if so, whether the entity is a VIE. If the Company determines it does not hold a variable interest in a VIE, it then applies the voting interest model. Under the voting interest model, the Company consolidates an entity when it holds a majority voting interest in an entity. Interests in subsidiaries owned by third parties are presented as non-controlling interests.
| (c) | Functional and reporting currency: |
All amounts herein have been presented in United States dollars, which is the functional and reporting currency of the Company. Transactions denominated in any currency other than United States dollars are immaterial.
The preparation of Interim Financial Statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including oil and natural gas reserves, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, derivative valuations, deferred income taxes and asset retirement obligations upon initial recognition. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain using management's best available knowledge of current and expected future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates of proved oil and gas reserve quantities provide the basis for the calculation of depletion and impairment of proved properties, and asset retirement obligations. Further, these estimates and other factors, including those outside of the Company's control, such as the impact of sustained lower commodity prices, could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, future development plans (including undeveloped oil and gas reserves), and results of operations and cash flows.

| 2. | Basis of preparation (continued): |
| (e) | Recently adopted accounting pronouncements: |
| (i) | Intangibles, goodwill and other: |
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"). This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2021, with prospective application which has not had a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements.
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes - In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and by clarifying and amending existing guidance applicable to accounting for income taxes. The amendment is effective commencing in 2021 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new guidance during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements.

| 2. | Basis of preparation (continued): |
| (f) | Recently issued accounting pronouncements: |
| (i) | Reference rate reform: |
In March 2020 and as clarified in January 2021, the FASB issued guidance which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This amendment is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The expedients and exceptions provided by this new guidance do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationships. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this new guidance and any of the transition relief available under the new guidance as of September 30, 2021.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"), which establishes a comprehensive new lease standard designed to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The FASB has also issued an ASU which allows an entity that elects to apply the practical expedients to, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous US GAAP. During 2020 the FASB extended the effective date for private companies by one year, making Topic 842 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact on its Financial Statements.

| 2. | Basis of preparation (continued): |
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, followed by other related ASUs that provided targeted improvements (collectively "ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective method and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method and the Company does not expect a material impact on the Interim Financial Statements.
| 3. | Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures: |
On June 6, 2021, the Company entered into the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement with Bonanza which closed on November 1, 2021. See Note 1 for additional information.
| (b) | ConocoPhillips Acquisition: |
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement with ConocoPhillips Company, Burlington Resources Oil & Gas Company LP, and Bronco Pipeline Company (collectively, "ConocoPhillips") to acquire approximately 99,000 net acres, including both upstream and midstream assets for the aggregate purchase price of $380.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The effective date of the acquisition was June 1, 2019. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company tendered a $38.0 million deposit to ConocoPhillips as of December 31, 2019.

| 3. | Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures (continued): |
The acquisition closed on March 3, 2020, for an adjusted purchase price of $360.7 million, subject to normal post-closing adjustments completed in the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in the final purchase price and total consideration paid of $364.8 million. The Company funded the acquisition with proceeds from the issuance of a promissory note to a related party on February 28, 2020 and the Company's revolving credit facility.
The Company determined that the ConocoPhillips acquisition met the criteria of a business combination under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company allocated the adjusted purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities based on fair value as of the acquisition date, as summarized in the table below. This measurement resulted in no goodwill or bargain purchase gain being recognized.

| 3. | Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures (continued): |
The Company used the cost, income and market valuation approaches in estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The carrying amounts of other current assets, equipment inventory, production and other taxes payable and revenue payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these items, therefore leveraging the cost approach based on current replacement factors. The fair values of oil inventory and land were determined using the market approach. The market approach utilizes market prices in actual historical transactions of a similar nature. The fair values of the proved and unproved properties, the midstream gas gathering assets, and asset retirement obligations were determined using the income approach. The items were determined using relevant market assumptions, including discount rates, future commodity prices and costs, timing of development activities, projections of oil and gas reserves, and estimates to abandon and reclaim producing wells. The fair value measurements of the assets and liabilities discussed above were based, in part, on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement.
The following table summarizes quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of certain assets and asset groups measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:
Level 3 | | March 3, | |
unobservable inputs | | | 2020 | |
Price: | | | | |
Oil (per Bbl) | | | $48 - $77 | |
Gas (per Mcf) | | | $1.64 - $3.49 | |
NGLs (percentage of oil price) | | | 35 | % |

Proved developed producing | | | 100 | % |
Proved undeveloped | | | 85 | % |
Probable | | | 30 | % |
Discount rate | | | 15 | % |
The Company finalized the purchase price equation during the first quarter of 2021.

For receivables from joint interest owners, the Company typically has the ability to withhold future revenue disbursements to recover non-payment of joint interest billings. Generally, the Company's accrued revenues are collected within two months and the Company has had minimal bad debts. Although diversified among many companies, collectability is dependent upon the financial wherewithal of each individual counterparty and is influenced by the general economic conditions of the industry. Receivables are not collateralized.
Accounts receivable consist of the following:
| | September 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | | 2021 | | | | 2020 | |

Depletion expense was $10.71 per BOE and $11.99 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
| 7. | Revolving credit facility: |
On September 21, 2016, a subsidiary of the Company, Crestone Peak Resources LLC entered into a revolving credit facility (sometimes referred to as the reserve-based loan or "RBL") with a syndicate of lenders. The RBL is available for working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general business purposes, and to support letters of credit. Certain of Crestone Peak Resources LLC's assets, together with its subsidiaries with the exception of Crestone Peak Resources Midstream LLC and Crestone Peak Resources Watkins Midstream LLC, including substantially all of the producing wells and developed oil and gas leases, have been designated as collateral under the RBL.
The RBL had an initial borrowing base of $300 million and a maximum commitment of up to $500 million with an initial maturity date of September 21, 2021, which was extended 1.5 years to April 30, 2023 in 2018. The borrowing base under the RBL is determined at the discretion of the lenders based on the value of the proved reserves designated as collateral and its commodity hedges and is subject to regular redeterminations on or about April 15 and October 15 of each year. The borrowing base was increased from $350 million to $525 million in March of 2020 in conjunction with the ConocoPhillips acquisition, and the maximum commitment was also increased to $1 billion. The borrowing base was subsequently decreased to $375 million in June of 2020 and decreased again to $350 million in October of 2020 with no changes to the maximum commitment.

| 7. | Revolving credit facility (continued): |
Interest rates under the RBL are based on either the LIBOR or the Alternative Base Rate at Crestone Peak Resources LLC's option, plus applicable margins of 2.5% to 3.5% or 1.5% to 2.5%, respectively. The fee on the unused amount of the commitment is 0.5%. Applicable margins are based on borrowing base utilization, which is defined as the sum of borrowings and letters of credit as a proportion of the borrowing base. Crestone Peak Resources LLC may issue up to $50 million of letters of credit under the RBL. Letters of credit incur fees of 2.5% to 3.5%, depending on borrowing base utilization.
The RBL had $214 million and $245 million in outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Crestone Peak Resources LLC had issued letters of credit in the amount of $12.8 million as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The available capacity under the RBL was $123.2 million as of September 30, 2021. The average annualized interest rate incurred on borrowed funds under the RBL was 3.2% and 3.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The components of interest expense related to the RBL agreement include the following:
| | | Nine months ended | |
| | | September 30, | |
| | | 2021 | | | | 2020 | |
Interest costs incurred on borrowed funds | | $ | 6,351 | | | $ | 9,934 | |
Interest costs incurred on letters of credit | | | 513 | | | | 494 | |
Amortization of deferred financing costs | | | 2,852 | | | | 2,391 | |
Interest expense, net | | $ | 9,716 | | | $ | 12,819 | |
The RBL originally contained two financial performance covenants requiring Crestone Peak Resources LLC to maintain:
| • | A consolidated total debt to EBITDAX ratio of no greater than 4.0 to 1.0; and |
| • | A ratio of current assets to current liabilities of at least 1.0 to 1.0 |

Current assets, as defined in the RBL agreement, are the sum of the consolidated current assets of Crestone Peak Resources LLC, plus the available commitment on the RBL, excluding any non-cash assets arising under ASC 815 and ASC 410. Current liabilities, as defined in the RBL agreement, are the consolidated current liabilities of Crestone Peak Resources LLC, excluding current maturities of long-term debt and any non-cash liabilities arising under ASC 815 and ASC 410.
In conjunction with the March 2020 borrowing base redetermination, the lenders agreed to extend and waive the requirement to have a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of at least 1.0 to 1.0 through the quarter ending December 31, 2020.
The lenders consented to Crestone Peak Resources LLC's waiver request, in exchange for three other financial performance covenant amendments during the waiver period:
| (a) | The definition of debt was amended to include any amount by which Crestone Peak Resources LLC's consolidated current liabilities (excluding current maturities of long-term debt and any non-cash liabilities arising under ASC 815 and ASC 410) exceed the Company's current assets (excluding any non-cash assets arising under ASC 815 and ASC 410 but not including the available commitment on the RBL); |
| (b) | A consolidated interest coverage ratio was added, requiring the ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense on a trailing four quarter basis to be at least 3.0 to 1.0; and |
| (c) | Crestone Peak Resources LLC shall maintain a consolidated total debt to EBITDAX ratio of no greater than 3.5 to 1.0. |
In May of 2021, Crestone Peak Resources LLC's borrowing base on the RBL was reaffirmed at $350 million and will remain in effect until the next determination period pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement. As part of the redetermination process, a continuation of the current ratio waiver was granted by the bank group through the three months ended March 31, 2021. Then, on June 4, 2021, the current ratio waiver was further extended for each quarter through the year ending December 31, 2021. The most recent extension of the current ratio waiver provided by the bank group was approved on the condition that Crestone Peak Resources LLC executes an acceptable merger agreement on or before June 30, 2021. The Company executed a merger agreement on June 6, 2021. See Note 1 for further discussion on the merger.

The RBL also contains certain additional customary negative covenants that, among other things, restrict Crestone Peak Resources LLC's, together with its subsidiaries', ability to incur additional debt, grant liens on its assets, make investments, sell assets, engage in business combinations, pay dividends, and enter into hedge agreements.
Crestone Peak Resources LLC, together with its subsidiaries is in compliance with its loan covenants and related bank waivers, as outlined above, and expects to remain in compliance throughout the next 12-month period.
| 8. | Commodity derivative instruments: |
Crestone Peak Resources LLC, has entered into commodity derivative instruments, as described below. The Company's commodity derivative instruments include swaps and costless collars. The Company's derivative strategy, including the volumes and commodities covered and the relevant fixed and market prices, is based in part on the Company's view of expected future market conditions, the Company's capital spending plans, and the Company's analysis of well-level economic returns. The Company's use of derivative contracts is subject to limits set forth in the RBL.
Swaps are derivative contracts which obligate two counterparties to effectively trade the underlying commodity at a set price (or index price) over a specified term. Swaps do not require a premium payment. The costless collars also do not require a premium payment and are used to establish a floor and ceiling price on anticipated commodity production.
Crestone Peak Resources LLC may, from time to time, add incremental derivatives to cover additional production, restructure existing derivative contracts, or enter into new transactions to modify the terms of current contracts in order to realize the current value of Crestone Peak Resources LLC's existing positions. Crestone Peak Resources LLC does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and is prohibited from doing so per the terms of the RBL agreement.

| 8. | Commodity derivative instruments (continued): |
The use of derivatives involves the risk that the counterparties to such instruments will be unable to meet the financial terms of such contracts. Crestone Peak Resources LLC's derivative contracts are currently with counterparties which are current or former lenders in the RBL. Crestone Peak Resources LLC is not required to make cash margin payments because the counterparties are secured by certain of the Company's assets which have been designated as collateral under the RBL. Crestone Peak Resources LLC has netting arrangements with the counterparties that provide for the offset of payables against receivables from separate derivative arrangements with the counterparty in the event of contract termination. The derivative contracts may be terminated by a non-defaulting party in the event of default by the other party to the agreement. Crestone Peak Resources LLC's derivative instruments do not contain credit-risk related contingent features.
Crestone Peak Resources LLC's commodity derivative instruments are measured at fair value and are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim balance sheets as commodity derivative assets or liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded based on the changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments. The Company's cash flow is only impacted when settlements under commodity derivative contracts result in it making a payment to, or receiving a payment from, the counterparty. Actual cash settlements can occur at either the scheduled payment date of the contract or at an earlier date if the contract is liquidated prior to its scheduled maturity. These cash settlements under the commodity derivative contracts are reflected as operating activities in the Company's condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows.
The Company's commodity derivative contracts as of September 30, 2021 are summarized below:
| | Derivative | | | Volume | | | Price | |

Offsetting of derivative assets and liabilities:
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all derivative instruments held by the Company through Crestone Peak Resources LLC were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. In general, the terms of Crestone Peak Resources LLC's agreements provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between Crestone Peak Resources LLC and the counterparty, at the election of either party, for transactions that occur on the same date and in the same currency. Crestone Peak Resources LLC's agreements also provide that, in the event of an early termination, each party has the right to offset amounts owed or owing under that and any other agreement with the same counterparty. Derivative positions eligible for netting are presented on a gross basis on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company's accounting policy is to not offset these positions in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

| 9. | Fair value measurements: |
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value for financial assets and liabilities that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
| • | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurable date |
| • | Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability |
| • | Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability |
The financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following tables present the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:

The Company uses Level 2 inputs to measure the fair value of commodity derivatives. The Company derives internal valuation estimates taking into consideration forward commodity price curves, counterparties' credit ratings, the Company's credit rating, and the time value of money. These valuations are then compared to the respective counterparties' mark-to-market statements. The considered factors result in an estimated exit-price that management believes provides a reasonable and consistent methodology for valuing derivative instruments. The commodity derivative instruments utilized by the Company are not considered by management to be complex, structured, or illiquid. The oil, gas, and NGLs commodity derivative markets are highly active.
The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured on a nonrecurring basis. Refer to Note 3 - Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures for additional information on the fair value of assets acquired during the first quarter of 2020. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed under transactions that meet the criteria of a business combination under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date using an income valuation technique based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the valuation of acquired oil and gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices, including price differentials; (v) future cash flows; and (vi) a market participant-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company's management at the time of the valuation. The ConocoPhillips Acquisition closed on March 3, 2020 and was not recorded at fair value as of September 30, 2020.

| 10. | Commitments and contingencies: |
The Company is subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such items when a liability is both probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. In addition, the Company discloses matters for which the Company believes a material loss is reasonably possible. In the opinion of management, the results of such pending litigation and claims is not likely to have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had contractual oil and NGLs volume delivery commitments with third parties with an aggregate minimum delivery commitment of 5.5 MMBbl of oil through April of 2025 and 0.5 MMBbl of NGLs through May of 2022. In the event of a delivery shortfall, the Company would make periodic deficiency payments to the third parties. If the Company did not deliver any volumes under these delivery commitments, the Company would expect to incur $2.6 million in deficiency fees over the next three months and an additional $11.7 million through 2025. The Company delivered in excess of all minimum volume commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the Company does not expect shortfalls within the Company's delivery commitments going forward. The Company also engages in dedicated lease volume commitments for certain producing properties and facilities with third parties, none of which include minimum volume commitments.
The Company has the following other commitments as of September 30, 2021:
