Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, Petrohawk Energy Corporation a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), hereby
requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission take appropriate action to accelerate the
effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-3 so that it becomes
effective at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 26, 2005, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
The Registrant is aware of its responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities
specified in the Registration Statement. The Registrant hereby acknowledges that (a) if the
Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declares the Registration
Statement effective, such action does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with
respect to the Registration Statement; (b) the action of the Commission or its staff, acting
pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not
relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure
in the Registration Statement; and (c) the Registrant may not assert the Commission declaring the
Registration Statement effective as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any
person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
