2. We note disclosure provided in Form 10-K for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 indicates you converted approximately 9%, 2%, 6%, 13% and 0%, respectively, of the opening balance of your proved undeveloped reserves during each of those periods.

We also note that you have removed material amounts of previously disclosed proved undeveloped reserves during each of the last three fiscal years due to changes in your July 25, 2025 Page 2

five-year development plan and that based on your fiscal 2024 conversion rate, it will take over eleven years to convert the proved undeveloped reserves disclosed as of December 31, 2024.

Please tell us how you have taken into consideration your low historical conversion rates and the ongoing changes in your development plans in adopting a development plan that results in the conversion of the 45.6 MMBoe of proved undeveloped reserves as of December 31, 2024 within five years of initial disclosure of such reserves. Refer to Rule 4-10(a)(31)(ii) of Regulation S-X and the Question 131.04 in the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (C&DIs) regarding Oil and Gas Rules. 3. Please provide us with the development schedule relating to your proved undeveloped reserves as of December 31, 2024, including details that show for each future annual period, (1) the number of gross wells to be drilled, (2) the associated net quantities of reserves, (3) the estimated capital expenditures necessary to convert such reserves to developed reserves, and (4) any changes made or expected to be made in the schedule that would deviate from the definition in Rule 4-10(a)(31)(ii) of Regulation S-X. Participation in Wells Being Drilled, page 20
