Exhibit 99.10
Veren Inc.
Supplemental Disclosures about Extractive Activities - Oil & Gas (unaudited)
December 31, 2024
The following disclosures have been prepared by Veren Inc. ("Veren" or the "Company") in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 932 "Extractive Activities — Oil & Gas" ("ASC 932") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and where applicable, financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company filed its reserves information under National Instrument 51-101 – "Standards of Disclosure of Oil and Gas Activities" ("NI 51-101"), which prescribes the standards for the preparation and disclosure of reserves and related information for companies listed in Canada.
There are significant differences to the type of volumes disclosed and the basis from which the volumes are economically determined under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requirements and NI 51-101. The SEC requires disclosure of net reserves, after royalties, using trailing 12-month average prices and current costs; whereas NI 51-101 requires Company gross reserves, before royalties, using forecast pricing and costs. The difference between the reported numbers under the two disclosure standards can, therefore, be material.
Petroleum and Natural Gas Reserve Information
Reserves are estimated quantities of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas anticipated from geological and engineering data to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date forward, by known technology, under existing operating conditions and considered to be economic at average commodity prices based upon the prior 12-month period. Estimates of petroleum and natural gas reserves are very complex, subject to uncertainty, require significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and economic data, and will change as additional information regarding the producing fields and technology becomes available and as future economic conditions change. Net reserves presented in this section represent the Company's working interest and overriding royalty share of the gross remaining reserves, after deduction of any crown, freehold and overriding royalties. Such royalties are subject to change by legislation or regulation and can also vary depending on production rates, selling prices and timing of initial production.
Proved petroleum and natural gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGL") that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
Proved developed petroleum and natural gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods, which may require future expenditures. Additional future expenditures would be minor compared to the cost of drilling a new well.
Proved undeveloped petroleum and natural gas reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from known accumulations where significant future expenditure is required.
Future fluctuations in prices and costs, production rates or changes in political or regulatory environments could cause the Company's reserves to be materially different from that presented.

2023
Revisions of previous estimates
In 2023, total proved reserves increased by approximately 28.1 MMboe in Canada, due to development downspacing and higher than original anticipated per area recoveries in the Company's Kaybob Duvernay asset. This was slightly offset by revisions due to decreases in constant pricing for crude oil, natural gas, and NGL constituents at December 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, as well as revisions due to marginally higher operating costs due to inflation.
Purchase of reserves in place
In 2023, the Company purchased 25.2 MMboe gas and NGL constituent volumes within the Kaybob area in Canada. In addition, the Company completed two significant acquisitions in the Montney play consisting of crude oil, natural gas, and NGL constituents totaling 282.0 MMboe.
Sale of reserves in place
In 2023, the Company divested its entire North Dakota Bakken position in the United States.
2024
Extensions and discoveries
In 2024, the Company realized significant reserve extensions of +26.2 MMboe within the Kaybob Duvernay and +63.1 MMboe in the Montney assets in Canada.

Sale of reserves in place
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company divested the entire Flat Lake (Southeast Saskatchewan), Battrum (Southwest Saskatchewan), Swan Hills (Alberta) and Southern Alberta properties. A portion of the Shaunavon asset was also disposed of.
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Petroleum and Natural Gas Reserves
The following information has been developed utilizing procedures prescribed by ASC 932, as updated by Accounting Standards Update 2010-03 "Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures", and based on crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserve and production volumes estimated by Veren's independent reserves evaluators, McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. The methodology used in calculating our price and cost assumptions for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for reserve estimation is based upon the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period.
Future production and development costs are based on constant price assumptions and assume the continuation of existing economic, operating and regulatory conditions. Future income taxes are calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to future pre-tax cash flows after provision for the tax cost of the petroleum and natural gas properties based upon existing laws and regulations. A 10% discount factor was applied to the future net cash flows.
The information contained in the following table should not be considered representative of realistic assessments of future cash flows, nor should the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows be viewed as representative of the fair market value of Veren's petroleum and natural gas properties. Management does not rely upon the following information in making investment and operating decisions. Such decisions are based upon a wide range of factors, including estimates of probable as well as proved reserves, and varying price and cost assumptions considered more representative of a range of possible economic conditions that may be anticipated. The prescribed discount rate of 10% may not appropriately reflect interest rates.
