of funds necessary to finance your future capital expenditures to additionally provide the

Drilling
Activity, page 33
2. The
value you have disclosed for net productive wells appears to be based on applying the net
revenue interest percentage, and not the working interest percentage, to the corresponding
gross value. Please revise your disclosure, as necessary, to correct the figure for the number
of net productive wells drilling during the year ended April 30, 2023. Refer to the guidance
for the disclosure of net wells in Item 1205(a)(2) and the definition of a net well or a
net acre in Item 1208(c)(2) of Regulation S-K. This comment also applies to the disclosure
of the figures for the number of net productive wells presented on page 34 and net acreage
amounts on page 36.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised its
disclosure of net productive wells drilled during the year ended April 30, 2023.
3. Please
expand your disclosure to separately provide information, if material, relating to (i) the
number of gross and net productive and dry development and exploratory wells drilled, (ii)
the total number of gross and net productive wells, and (iii) the total gross and net developed
and undeveloped acres associated with your royalty and/or overriding royalty interests. For
the purposes of disclosing net royalty wells and acres in which you do not hold a working
interest, consider the net revenue interest as a substitute for the working interest. Refer
to Items 1205 and 1208 of Regulation S-K.
Response:

Reserve
Estimates, page 34
4. We
note you disclose estimates of proved reserves as of March 31, 2023. Please expand your disclosure
to additionally provide the information required by Items 1202(a)(1) and (a)(2) regarding

net quantities of proved reserves as of your most recent fiscal year end, e.g. as of April 30, 2022.
5. Please
expand the disclosure relating to your probable reserves and cash flows to include cautionary
language clarifying that your estimates have not been adjusted for uncertainty, and therefore
may not be comparable and should not be summed with estimates of proved reserves. Please
refer to Item 1202(a)(5) of Regulation S-K and to question 105.01 in the Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations (“C&DIs”) regarding Oil and Gas Rules.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised its
disclosure relating to your probable reserves and cash flows to include cautionary language clarifying that your estimates have not been
adjusted for uncertainty, and therefore may not be comparable and should not be summed with estimates of proved reserves.
6. We
note the figures for your estimated net present value discounted at 10% (“PV-10”)
and the standardized measure are identical; however, your discussion explains that these
two measures differ only in that that the standardized measure reflects estimated future
income taxes. Please revise your disclosure as necessary to resolve this apparent inconsistency.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised its
disclosure for PV-10 and the standardized measure.
7. Please
expand the discussion accompanying the presentation of your PV-10 and standardized measure
to clarify, if true, that future cash flows take into account the estimated abandonment costs
for your proved and probable properties. Refer to FASB ASC 932-235-50-36.
If
the abandonment costs, including such costs related to your probable undeveloped locations, have not been included, please explain to
us your rationale for excluding these costs from your calculations.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company has revised its
disclosure accompanying the presentation of your PV-10 and standardized measure to clarify, if true, that future cash flows take into
