However, the change due to extensions and discoveries should be a positive value as it is intended to represent additions to proved reserves, consistent with the description of extensions and discoveries in FASB ASC 932-235-50-5(d). This also applies to the corresponding line item in the reconciliation of changes in proved reserves for 2024 under the section &#8220;Estimated Quantities of Proved Reserves&#8221; in the Supplemental Information on Crude Oil, Natural Gas and NGLs Producing Activities. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Please revise your reconciliation and explanation of changes as appropriate&#59; include the revisions that you propose along with your response.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline">RESPONSE</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">&#58; The Company acknowledges the Staff&#8217;s comment and notes that there was an inadvertent error in the disclosure on pages 18, F-49, F-50 and F-51 of the Form 10-K with respect to the allocated line-item amount of the Company&#8217;s extensions and discoveries in the reconciliation for the Canada segment for the year ended December 31, 2024, which also affected the line-item amount of revisions of previous estimates on such tables. Upon further review and analysis, the correct line-item amount for extensions and discoveries for total proved undeveloped reserves during the year ended December 31, 2024 was 131 (MBoe), and the correct line-item amounts for extensions and discoveries for proved reserves for the Canada segment during the year ended December 31, 2024 were 251 (Mbbls) for crude oil proved reserves, 876 (Mmcf) for natural gas proved reserves, 142 (MBbls) for NGLs proved reserves and 539 (MBoe) for total proved reserves. The mischaracterization of the Company&#8217;s extensions and discoveries in the reconciliation for the Canada segment for the year ended December 31, 2024 were due to redevelopment of the Cardium reservoir development area in Canada that involved the removal of certain existing drill locations and partial replacement of such removed wells with new more efficient long-reach horizontal wells, which resulted in a complex movement for purposes of year-end reserve reconciliation calculations, including reserve volumes incorporating removal of existing drill locations, partial replacement by new locations at different productivity expectations and new additions through new mineral rights acquisitions. During the processing of this data, a portion of the reconciliation were misallocated as extensions and discoveries instead of revisions of previous estimates for the Canada segment for the year ended December 31, 2024.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The aforementioned mischaracterization of the amount of the Company&#8217;s extensions and discoveries for the year ended December 31, 2024 were limited solely to the Canada segment and ultimately did not result in any change to the Company&#8217;s existing disclosure in the Form 10-K for </font></div><div style="height:81.36pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div><font><br></font></div></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:126.9pt;width:100%"><div style="margin-top:26pt"><img alt="image_4a.jpg" src="image_4a.jpg" style="height:33px;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:122px"></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">August 15, 2025</font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Page 3</font></div><div><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">its total proved reserves with respect to any product (crude oil, natural gas or NGLs), total proved reserves for the Canada segment or aggregate total proved reserves as of December 31, 2024.
