Preliminary Production Data for the Three Months Ended
As of the date of this current report, we have not finalized our financial and operational results for the three months or the year endedDecember 31, 2021 .

Any such adjustments could be material. This preliminary estimate should not be viewed as indicative of our financial condition or results as of or for any future period.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
OnFebruary 7, 2022 , in connection with the Notes Offering (as defined below), CRGY provided certain updated disclosures to potential investors, the relevant excerpts of which are set forth below. ****** Our proved developed producing ("PDP") reserves as ofDecember 31, 2021 have estimated average five-year and ten-year annual decline rates of approximately 11% and 10%, respectively, and an estimated 2022 PDP decline rate of 17%, based on production type curves used in our reserve reports. As a result of this low decline profile, we require relatively minimal capital expenditures to maintain our production and cash flows. Our properties located in the Eagle Ford, Barnett and the Rockies represent approximately 78% of our PD reserves as ofDecember 31, 2021 and provide us with diversification from both a regional location and commodity price perspective, which provides us certain downside protection as it relates to commodity-specific pressures, isolated infrastructure constraints or severe weather events. The table below illustrates the aggregate leasehold acreage positions, reserve volumes and weighted average decline profiles associated with our proved assets as ofDecember 31, 2021 and our pro forma production for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 .

ten-year period ending
type curves used in estimating our proved reserves.
(2) Reflects the net proved and net PD present values reflected in our proved
reserve estimates as of
prepared in accordance with
("GAAP"). Neither PV-10 or standardized measure represent an estimate of the
fair market value of our oil and natural gas properties. We believe that the
presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to our investors as supplemental
disclosure to the standardized measure of future net cash flows, or after tax
amount, because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable
to our reserves prior to taking into account future income taxes and our
current tax structure. We and others in the industry use PV-10 as measures to
compare the relative size and value of proved reserves held by companies
without regard to the specific tax characteristics of such entities.
Investors should be cautioned that none of PV-10 and standardized measure
represent an estimate of the fair market value of our proved reserves.
The following table presents a reconciliation of our PV-0 and PV-10 to the GAAP financial measure of Standardized Measure.

We had leasehold interests in an aggregate 1,029 thousand net acres as of
****** As ofDecember 31, 2021 , we owned mineral and royalty interests in 174 thousand gross acres and an overriding royalty interest in 117 thousand gross acres, both operated by large, well-capitalized oil and natural gas companies located primarily in the Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Utica and the Rockies. These interests entitle us to receive an average 5.4% royalty and 0.7% overriding royalty interest on all production from such acreage with no additional future capital or operating costs required. ******

Oil, natural gas and NGL data
The following table summarizes our estimated net proved reserves as of
As of December 31, 2021(1) Net Proved Reserves: Oil (MBbls) 210,160 Natural gas (MMcf) 1,469,953 NGLs (MBbls) 76,493 Total Proved Reserves (MBoe) 531,645 Standardized Measure (thousands)(2) 4,958,300 PV-0 (thousands)(2) $ 9,390,907 PV-10 (thousands)(2) $ 5,158,824 Net Proved Developed Reserves: Oil (MBbls) 158,091 Natural gas (MMcf) 1,404,570 NGLs (MBbls) 66,402 Total Proved Developed Reserves (MBoe) 458,587 PV-0 (thousands)(2) $ 7,494,842 PV-10 (thousands)(2) $ 4,304,510 Net Proved Undeveloped Reserves: Oil (MBbls) 52,069 Natural gas (MMcf) 65,383 NGLs (MBbls) 10,091 Total Proved Undeveloped Reserves (MBoe) 73,057 PV-0 (thousands)(2) $ 1,896,065 PV-10 (thousands)(2) $ 854,314 4

(1) Our reserves and present values were determined using average
first-day-of-the-month prices for the prior 12 months in accordance with
guidance. For oil and NGL volumes, the average WTI posted price of
barrel as of
quality, local conditions, gathering, transportation fees and distance from
market. For natural gas volumes, the average
per MMBtu as of
quality, local conditions, gathering, transportation fees and distance from
market. All prices are held constant throughout the lives of the properties.
The average adjusted product prices weighted by production over the remaining
lives of the properties are
natural gas and
(2) PV-0 and PV-10 are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP
because they do not include the effects of income taxes on future net
revenues. Our standardized measure includes future obligations under the
expenses because, due to the status of CE Finance (as defined below) as a
flow through entity for
to federal income taxes, and accordingly the Standardized Measure of
estimated future cash flows attributable to CE Finance does not differ
materially from the associated PV-10. None of PV-0, PV-10 or standardized
measure represents an estimate of the fair market value of our oil and
natural gas properties. We believe that the presentation of PV-0 and PV-10 is
relevant and useful to our investors because it presents the discounted
future net cash flows attributable to our reserves prior to taking into
account future income taxes and our current tax structure. We and others in
the industry use PV-0 and PV-10 as measures to compare the relative size and
value of proved reserves held by companies without regard to the specific tax
characteristics of such entities. ******
