       Dear Elijio V. Serrano:

              We have limited our review of your filing to the financial

       provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure.

              Please respond to these comments within ten business days by
providing the requested
       information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If
you do not believe our
       comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in
your response.

                                                        After reviewing your

       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
       Results of Operations, page 28

   1.                                                   We note that you have
presented segment activity in three tabulations on pages 30 and 31
                                                        which include segment
measures "Income before taxes," "Income (loss) before taxes," and
                                                        "Loss before taxes."
However, the amounts corresponding to these captions appear to be
                                                        identified as "Income
(loss) before taxes and discontinued operations" on page F-35.
                                                        Please revise to
resolve or address this apparent inconsistency.

   2.                                                   We note that you
provide two tabulations on page 33 having compound reconciliations
                                                        that include the
non-GAAP measure    Adjusted income (loss) before taxes and
                                                        discontinued operations
   as an intermediate measure from which you then reconcile to the
                                                        non-GAAP measure
Adjusted EBITDA. However, you do not identify the intermediate

         measure in your descriptions of non-GAAP measures or provide the
disclosure prescribed
         by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(C) of Regulation S-K.

         If you wish to retain the measure, please address this requirement in
your periodic filings
         and provide similar clarification in your earnings releases. Please
also address the
         inconsistency in compiling the intermediate annual measure in
comparing Schedule F and
         Schedule I of your earnings release covering the last quarter of 2022.
3.       We note that you provide a description of the non-GAAP measure
"Adjusted income
         (loss) from continuing operations" in your earnings release for the
last quarter of 2022,
         which includes some of the same adjustments as reflected in your
compilation of
         "Adjusted income (loss) before taxes and discontinued operations," and
is accompanied
         by disclosure stating that the measure is used "...to assess financial
performance, without
         regard to charges or credits that are considered by management to be
outside of its normal
         operations." With regard to Adjusted EBITDA, we also note disclosure
stating that this
         measure is used to assess the financial performance of the your
assets, "...without regard
         to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis" and
to assess
         your "...ability to incur and service debt and fund capital
expenditures."

         Please expand your disclosures to clarify how your statements
describing the utility of
         these measures would encompass the adjustments for "Exploration and
pre-development
         costs," "Adjustments to long-term incentives," and "Equity-based
compensation expense,"
         which are all depicted in compiling the non-GAAP measures in your
annual report, and to
         more clearly explain your rationale for each adjustment.

         We believe that your disclosures should convey the nature of each
adjustment sufficiently
         to understand its character and cash flow implications, including how
it relates to your
         operations or deemed to be unrelated to your operations, to address
the concerns outlined
         in the answer to Question 100.01 of our Non-GAAP C&DIs.

       In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.

      You may contact Yong Kim, Staff Accountant, at 202-551-3323 or Robert
Babula, Staff
Accountant, at 202-551-3339 with any questions.
