(ECR), an independent third party to CRC, entered into a midstream joint venture known as Elk Hills Power, LLC (the JV) on February 7, 2018 (Effective Date). CREH holds 50,000 Class A common units and 95,250 Class C common units. ECR holds 50,000 Class A common units, all of the 750,000 Class B preferred units and 4,750 Class C common units.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:left;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The JV is party to a Commercial Agreement with CREH in which the JV provides electricity generation and gas processing services, the payments for which include fixed and variable components.  The variable components are based on market factors (including, for example, greenhouse gas allowance index prices and gas prices) as well as volumes.  The JV generates additional revenue from sources other than the Commercial Agreement, including a power purchase agreement with a regulated utility, as well as a contract with California ISO for electricity sold to the wholesale market. CREH controls and consolidates the JV.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:left;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Class B preferred units held by ECR earn a preferred return on $750 million of invested capital. Cash flows generated by the JV are first distributed to the Class B holder to the extent available for the preferred return, and the remaining cash flows are distributed pro rata to the Class C holders. CRC, through CREH, has the option to cause the JV to repurchase all of ECR&#8217;s Class A common and Class B preferred units at any time prior to August 7, 2025 (the 7 &#189;-year anniversary date). If CREH elects this option, the Class B preferred units would be repurchased for the $750 million of invested capital, plus any previously accrued but unpaid preferred distributions and a make-whole amount.

Additionally, in accordance with FASB ASC 805-10-50-2(h), we compared key financial statement line items (including revenue, production costs and general and administrative expenses) and non-financial statement items (including production volumes) from the Elk Hills transaction to our consolidated results since the acquisition date and for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements. In each case, the transaction constituted less than 10% of our consolidated results for all periods presented. Therefore, we concluded that the Elk Hills transaction was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. We did not believe that the omission of these disclosures were qualitatively or quantitatively misleading to a financial statement reader and, therefore, did not include the disclosures in our Form 10-Q. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Please direct any questions that you have with respect to the foregoing or if any additional supplemental information is required by the Staff, please contact me at (818) 661-6021.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:468px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;background-color:#ffffff;">Very truly yours,</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:468px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;background-color:#ffffff;">California Resources Corporation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:468px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:468px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;background-color:#ffffff;">By: &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;/s/ Roy Pineci&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; <br>Name:&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Roy Pineci <br>Title: &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Executive Vice President, Finance</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:34px;padding-top:34px;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div></div>	</body>
