For ease of review, we have set forth below each of the numbered comments of your letter followed by the Company’s responses thereto or a statement identifying the location in Public Filing No. 4 of the requested disclosure or revised disclosure. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in Public Filing No. 4 and all references to page numbers in such responses are to page numbers in Public Filing No. 4. June 20, 2024 Page 2 Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Capitalization, page 66 1. We note your response to prior comments 1 and 2. However, we note you have not fully addressed the issues, thus the comments are reissued. Please address the following issues: • Revise your presentation to include parentheses around the amounts for Accumulated deficit and Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the “Actual” and “As adjusted” columns. • You state that you issued the Convertible Note to H&P in the amount of $9,390,500 in exchange and satisfaction of mobilization expenses incurred and did not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Note. Considering the Convertible Note was issued for mobilization expenses incurred, tell us how you reflected these expenses in the accumulated deficit in the capitalization table. Please revise or advise. • We note you intend to issue $7.5 million in shares of Tamboran’s common stock to Daly Waters Energy L.P in satisfaction of certain joint venture related expenses under a joint venture agreement, and you will not receive any proceeds. Please clarify how you reflected the joint venture related expenses in the accumulated deficit in the capitalization table. Please revise or advise. • To enhance an investor’s understanding, please revise your capitalization table to include a column reflecting the issuance and conversion of the Convertible Note into 460,318 shares of common stock and issuance of $7.5 million in shares to Daly Waters Energy L.P along with footnotes describing the impact of the transactions. Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comments, and with respect to bullets #1 and #4 have revised the Registration Statement accordingly. Please see page 66 of Public Filing No. 4. With respect to bullet #2, we note the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Note is reflected in total liabilities, however, neither the issuance nor the conversion of the Convertible Note affects the Statement of Operations because such mobilization expenses were capitalized to Unproved Properties. With respect to bullet #3, we note that the Daly Waters Placement was not made as a payment of joint venture related expenses. Rather, The Daly Waters Placement will be made to satisfy certain payment obligations that would have become due in February 2025. Specifically, as a result of not meeting certain project milestones pursuant to the TB1 Joint Venture Agreement by December 31, 2024, the Company would have been required to pay Daly Waters $7.5 million in cash or $15 million in value of CDIs, at the Company’s option. Daly Waters has agreed to accept $7.5 million in shares of the Company’s common stock at the initial public offering price in waiver of this obligation. The obligations to issue shares or pay a cash amount to Daly Waters are not recorded on our balance sheet and thus will not impact total liabilities or accumulated deficit. Please see the description of the TB1 Joint Venture Agreement beginning on page 106 of Public Filing No. 4. June 20, 2024 Page 3 Dilution, page 67 2. We note you will not receive any cash proceeds from the Daly Waters Placement relating to your joint venture related expenses or upon conversion of the Convertible Note relating to mobilization and related expenses incurred. It appears the shares issued in these two transactions as a result of expenses incurred should not have an impact on the “as adjusted net tangible book value.” Please revise your as adjusted net tangible book value and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2024 and the related dilution disclosures as appropriate, or explain to us why no revisions are required. Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and have revised the Registration Statement accordingly. We also note for the Staff our response to Comment #1 above as it related to the Daly Waters Placement. Please see pages 68-70 of Public Filing No. 4. 3. Please disclose the details of the transactions relating to the conversion of the Convertible Note issued to H&P and issuance of shares in the Daly Waters Placement. In addition, disclose the impact of these share issuances on the adjusted net tangible book value. Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and have revised the Registration Statement accordingly.

1.We note your response to prior comments 1 and 2. However, we note you have not fully
addressed the issues, thus the comments are reissued. Please address the following issues:
•Revise your presentation to include parentheses around the amounts for Accumulated
deficit and Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the “Actual” and “As adjusted”
columns.
•You state that you issued the Convertible Note to H&P in the amount of $9,390,500
in exchange and satisfaction of mobilization expenses incurred and did not receive

2.We note you will not receive any cash proceeds from the Daly Waters Placement relating
to your joint venture related expenses or upon conversion of the Convertible Note relating
to mobilization and related expenses incurred. It appears the shares issued in these two
transactions as a result of expenses incurred should not have an impact on the "as adjusted
net tangible book value." Please revise your as adjusted net tangible book value and the as
adjusted net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2024 and the related dilution
disclosures as appropriate, or explain to us why no revisions are required.
3.Please disclose the details of the transactions relating to the conversion of the Convertible
Note issued to H&P and issuance of shares in the Daly Waters Placement. In addition,
disclose the impact of these share issuances on the adjusted net tangible book value.
Please contact Myra Moosariparambil at 202-551-3796 or Raj Rajan at 202-551-3388 if
you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters. You

For ease of review, we have set forth below each of the numbered comments of your letter followed by the Company’s responses thereto or a statement identifying the location in Public Filing No. 3 of the requested disclosure or revised disclosure. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in Public Filing No. 3 and all references to page numbers in such responses are to page numbers in Public Filing No. 3. June 17, 2024 Page 2 Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Capitalization, page 66 1. We note in June 2024 you issued to H&P a convertible senior note with an original principal amount of $9,390,500. We further note you have included the conversion of the note into an aggregate of 451,466 shares of common stock in your capitalization table. Please revise the presentation of the capitalization table to include a separate column that reflects the proceeds received from convertible notes and conversion of the notes to common stock. Response: We note for the Staff that the Convertible Note issued to H&P was issued in exchange and satisfaction of mobilization expenses incurred in connection with the transportation of a H&P rig. Therefore, we did not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Note and will not receive any cash proceeds from the conversion into shares upon its terms concurrent with the consummation of this offering. We also note for the Staff that we will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of shares to Daly Waters Energy, LP described in Public Filing No. 3. We have reflected in the “as adjusted” column of the capitalization table the increase in additional paid-in capital and stockholders’ equity as a result of the issuance of additional shares from each of these transactions. Since such issuances will occur concurrent with the consummation of the initial public offering, we believe that including the adjustments related to the issuance of shares in each of these transactions together with the issuance of shares and the receipt of cash proceeds from the initial public offering provides the most utility to investors. Please see page 66 of Public Filing No. 3. 2. We note including net offering proceeds, increase in cash and cash equivalents under “As Adjusted” column total $158,015. However, total stockholders’ equity under ‘As Adjusted’ column increased by $178,371. Please explain, show us your adjustments and revise your disclosures as appropriate. Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and note for the Staff that as described in our response to Comment #1, the increase in additional paid-in capital and total stockholders’ equity reflects both the issuance of shares in this offering as well as the issuance of shares in the Daly Waters Placement and upon the conversion of the Convertible Note.

The Company expects that these pricing terms and other items will be included in a future amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-279119 (the “Registration Statement”). The Offering terms included in the Submission are based on bona fide estimates of the range of the minimum and maximum offering price and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock to be offered as of June 11, 2024. Should the bona fide estimates of these terms change, the figures presented in future amendments to the Registration Statement may increase or decrease. The Company proposes to price the Offering with a bona fide price range of $24.00 to $28.00 per share of Common Stock, with a midpoint of $26.00 per share of Common Stock. In the Offering, the Company proposes to sell up to 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company also proposes to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 975,000 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments. As discussed with members of the Staff, this range and the additional information included in the Submission are initially being provided for your consideration by correspondence due to the Company’s and the underwriters’ concern regarding providing such information in advance of the launch of the Offering given recent market volatility, as well as our desire to provide all information necessary for the Staff to complete its review on a timely basis. June 12, 2024 Page 2 The Company is enclosing its proposed marked copy of those pages of the Registration Statement that will be affected by the offering terms set forth herein. We expect that these marked changes will be incorporated into a future amendment to the Registration Statement. The Company seeks confirmation from the Staff that it may launch its Offering with the price range specified herein and include such price range in a future filing of the Registration Statement. ********** If you have any questions regarding the foregoing Submission or the Registration Statement, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone at (713) 546-7416 or by email at michael.chambers@lw.com.

For ease of review, we have set forth below each of the numbered comments of your letter followed by the Company’s responses thereto or a statement identifying the location in Public Filing No. 2 of the requested disclosure or revised disclosure. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in Public Filing No. 2 and all references to page numbers in such responses are to page numbers in Public Filing No. 2. Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Summary Historical Consolidated Financial Data, page 19 1. Net loss per common share- basic and diluted for the periods presented here are not consistent with the disclosures in the financial statements on pages F-3 and F-21. Please revise or advise. Response: We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and have revised the Registration Statement accordingly. Please see page 20 of Public Filing No. 2. June 5, 2024 Page 2 Choice of Forums, page 152 2. You state here and in the risk factor “Our certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery ... as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions” that such forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. However, reference to Article XI of the newly filed certificate of incorporation is silent regarding actions arising under the Exchange Act. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act, please ensure that the exclusive forum provision in the governing documents states this clearly, or tell us how you will inform investors in future filings that the provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Exchange Act. Response: We respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and note that the Registration Statement on pages 51 and 153 states that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We have further revised the Registration Statement on pages 51 and 153 to note that we will inform investors in each report filed in accordance with the Exchange Act in which we describe the terms of our common stock that the forum provision in our certificate of incorporation will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability arising under the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Exhibits 3. We note your response to prior comment 43 issued in our February 29, 2024 comment letter. We also note your disclosures of agreements for which exhibits have not been filed or included in the index of exhibits, including Middle Arm Development, Liberty Energy, APA, gas sales, letters of intent, and BP Memorandum of Understanding. Please provide your analysis of why you believe that these agreements are not required to be filed, or file them as exhibits to the registration statement. Refer to Item 601(b) of Regulation S-K. Response: We respectfully advise the Staff that, as discussed in greater detail below, the Company believes each of the following agreements to be either entered into in the ordinary course of the Company’s business or not material to the Company’s business. Letter Agreement Pursuant to a Letter Agreement with the Northern Territory Government of Australia (the “Letter Agreement”), we have the exclusive rights to use 420 acres in the Middle Arm Sustainable Development to progress development of an LNG export terminal. Under Item 601(b)(10)(i) of Regulation S-K,, the Company is required to file every contract not made in the ordinary course of business that is material to the registrant. As disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Company’s long term business plan includes the development of an LNG export terminal to facilitate the export and sale of natural gas. However, the Letter Agreement imposes no obligations on the Company to develop an LNG export terminal and in any event, any such development is not expected to be commissioned until 2026 and is not expected to export volumes until 2030, if ever. Further, even in the long term, we will not be reliant on the development of an LNG export terminal as there is sufficient domestic demand for our projected natural gas production and existing LNG facilities that are potential alternatives. As such the Company does not consider the Letter Agreement to be material to its business. June 5, 2024 Page 3 Master Services Agreement with Liberty Energy Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement with Liberty Energy (the “Master Services Agreement”), Liberty Energy has agreed to provide us dedicated frac fleets and personnel on market terms. The Master Services Agreement is an agreement with a service provider in the ordinary course of our business of producing natural gas. We acknowledge that, under Item 601(b)(10)(ii) of Regulation S-K, certain agreements that ordinarily accompany the kind of business conducted by a registrant nevertheless are required to be filed as exhibits. Items 601(b)(10)(ii)(A), (C) and (D) are not applicable to the Master Services Agreement as such agreement does not involve insider counterparties, the sale of property, plant or equipment or material lease of property. In order for a contract to fall under Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(B), the contract must be one “upon which the registrant’s business is substantially dependent”. Although it does not define the term “substantially dependent”, Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(B) identifies two types of agreements that meet that test: (1) continuing contracts to sell the major part of registrant’s products or services or to purchase the major part of registrant’s requirements of goods, services or raw materials; and (2) any franchise or license or other agreement to use a patent, formula, trade secret, process or trade name upon which registrant’s business depends to a material extent. The Company does not consider the Master Services Agreement to be a contract “upon which [the Company’s] business is substantially dependent”. The Company does not believe it is substantially reliant on any one service provider as it can obtain similar services from other vendors in the market without materially impacting the Company’s long-term business strategy or development. In addition, while the Master Services Agreement provides for a preferred arrangement with Liberty to provide certain services, the arrangement is not an exclusive relationship and the Master Services Agreement does not impose any obligations on the Company to purchase services. Framework Agreements with APA We are party to several agreements with APA relating to the construction of pipelines to transport natural gas. Under such agreements, we agree to work with APA exclusively with respect to the evaluation of certain pipeline projects. However, each of such agreements are preliminary agreements subject to the negotiation and execution of future development agreements and gas transport services agreements. Neither party has any obligation to construct or dedicate funds to the construction of the pipeline under any of the agreements. In addition, none of such agreements determine the economic terms of participation in any pipeline project. Ultimately, either the Company or APA may decline to proceed with construction of any pipeline project. While we acknowledge that our business is dependent on the development of pipelines generally, as described above our preliminary agreements with APA are limited in scope and do not create material obligations on either party such that they are “material contracts” of the type that are required to be filed under Item 601(b)(10). For the foregoing reasons, we respectfully submit that these Agreements are not required to be filed as exhibits pursuant to Item 601(b)(10). June 5, 2024 Page 4 Gas Sales Agreements Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(A), (C) and (D) are not applicable to any of our gas sales agreement as none involve insider counterparties, the sale of property, plant or equipment or material lease of property. The Company does not consider its gas sales agreements, including the NT GSA, to be agreements “upon which [the Company’s] business is substantially dependent” under Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(B). With respect to the NT GSA, in particular, the volumes of natural gas to be sold is for the relatively immaterial amount of natural gas expected to be produced from our pilot wells. Although initially 100% of our natural gas production is subject to sale under the NT GSA, sales from the volumes of natural gas subject to this agreement will not generate revenue sufficient to cover our existing operating expenses. Letters of Intent / Memoranda of Understanding Regarding Gas Sales We are party to various letters of intent and memoranda of understanding with retailers relating to sales of natural gas, including a non-binding memorandum of understanding with a subsidiary of bp PLC regarding the potential purchase of up to 2.2 Mtpa of LNG and a letter of intent with a subsidiary of Shell plc, regarding the potential purchase of up to 2.2 Mtpa of LNG. We do not believe these agreements are of the type that are required to be filed pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) because we are not “substantially dependent” on any such agreement or any single purchaser. Natural gas is a fungible product with well-established markets and numerous purchasers. In addition, none of these are binding agreements. They set out terms upon which the parties may negotiate definitive agreements, but due to the non-binding nature cannot be considered material contracts. ********** If you have any questions regarding the foregoing responses or the Registration Statement, please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone at (713) 546-7416 or by email at michael.chambers@lw.com.

Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
Submitted March 14, 2024
CIK No. 0001997652
Dear Joel Riddle:
We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and have the following
comments.
Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either submitting
an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration statement on
EDGAR. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing the information you provide in response to this letter and your amended
draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may have additional
comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our
February 29, 2024 letter.
Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
Glossary of Natural Gas Terms, page iv
1.We have read your response to prior comment 2 and note the additional industry terms
included in your glossary; however, the following definitions require revision:
•Proved Reserves – the glossary definition is incomplete and contains the phrase "have
been proved to a high degree of certainty " which more closely resembles the PRMS
definition of proved reserves. The SEC definition of proved reserves in Rule 4-
10(a)(22) states "those quantities of oil and gas, which by analysis of geoscience and
engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically
producible - from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing
FirstName LastNameJoel Riddle

Page 2
economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations." Please revise.
•Probable Reserves - the glossary definition incorrectly includes the phrase “ in sum
with proved reserves” rather than Rule 4-10(a)(18) wording of " together with proved
reserves." We believe volumes of proved reserves and probable reserves should not
be summed together due to the different risk profiles for each category of reserves.
Please revise.
•Unconventional Drilling – the glossary definition should include more specific
unconventional drilling methods such as: drilling in zones of low porosity and
permeability, directional and horizontal drilling, and include various types of well
stimulation/multi-stage fracturing completion methods. Please revise.
•Developed Acres – in conjunction with your disclosure of undeveloped acreage,
please include a definition for developed acres .
Also please add a definition or further clarification for the terms Exploration Permit
(“EP”) or Exploration Permit Application (“BP(A)).

2.We have read your response to prior comment 7 and note the revised disclosures on page
7 state:
•The “SS1H well is currently producing;” however, on page 19, you disclose you do
not expect to generate any production revenue until 2026. Please review and revise to
identify the referenced production as either sales volumes or test volumes only.
•“Each of these wells are productive wells” without clarifying if this relates to all 21
wells or only your six appraisal wells. Please expand the disclosure to clarify: 1) how
many of the 21 total wells, including your six appraisal wells, were determined to be
productive in the Middle Verlkerri formation, 2) the basis for determining these wells
were productive wells capable of producing gas in sufficient quantities to justify
completion as a gas well and not dry wells, and 3) the total number of wells that have
produced natural gas to the surface as test volumes or as sales volumes, if any.

3.We note your revised presentation of stock based compensation within the line item
"Compensation and benefits including stock based compensation" in page F-4 in response
to prior comment 33. Please revise your presentation here, "Results of operations" in page

however, we note the statement, “proved and probable reserves represent resources which
are commercially recoverable” is inconsistent with the SEC definition in Rule 4-10(a)(22).
We reissue the prior comment in part to request clarification of the industry definitions
used to determine the estimates prepared by Geoscience Australia.

5.We have read your response to prior comment 25 and your disclosure that none of your
six appraisal wells can be defined as exploratory or development wells; however, in
response to prior comment 24, you classify the six appraisal wells as "exploratory type
stratigraphic test wells" which is a subset of exploratory wells. In addition, based on the
tabular disclosures on pages 2 and 92, these six appraisal wells were permitted as
exploratory wells. Please review and revise your disclosures as necessary.
6.We have read your response to prior comment 26, and the associated revised disclosures.
We note your disclosure of the number of gross non-operated wells, but do not see the
corresponding net number. Please revise to include the net number of non-operated wells.
In addition, you state that all of your wells are productive wells, mechanically capable of
producing gas, but then disclose, "one of our four wells is not capable of producing gas
until it is re-entered and a lateral is drilled." Please review the definitions of a “productive
well” and a “dry well” in Items 1208(c)(3) and 1205(b)(1), respectively, and revise your
disclosure as necessary or tell us why a revision is not needed.
Choice of Forums, page 138
7.We note your response to prior comment 31. We note that your forum selection provision
identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for
certain litigation and that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be
the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising
under the Securities Act. Please disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising
under the Exchange Act. In that regard, you removed the text from the corresponding risk
factor which disclosed that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal
jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange
Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions
arising under the Exchange Act, please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision in
the governing documents states this clearly, or tell us how you will inform investors in
future filings that the provision does not apply to any actions arising under
the Exchange Act.

3.You disclose the Beetaloo Basin covers approximately 10,800 square miles (7 million
acres) and is believed to contain significant quantities of unconventional natural gas (page
1). Please revise your filing to categorize these quantities as “unconventional natural gas
resources.”
4.Your disclosures use the phrases “potential of the petroleum believed to be present” on
pages 2 and 110 and “potential presence of natural gas” on page 19. Please revise these
phrases to incorporate the term “prospective resources.”
5.Your disclosure indicates the geological properties of the Middle Velkerri section in the
Beetaloo Basin are similar to those of the Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin in the
northeastern United States. Please expand your disclosure to explain what properties are
similar and why you believe the two formations are analogous. Refer to the definition of
an analogous reservoir in Rule 4-10(a)(2) of Regulation S-X.
Our Business Plan, page 3
6.Revise to provide more specificity regarding the total anticipated costs to the extent
known with regard to the first phase you describe. For example, discuss here and in
the Use of Proceeds section as appropriate how much of the $350 million capital cost
($135 million net to Tamboran) and the other costs you list will be funded through cash on
hand, how much from this offering, and how much from additional capital raising
efforts. Also, ensure that there is at least one comprehensive discussion of the anticipated
components of the costs in the first phase, insofar as you state at page 18 that you estimate
expenses of approximately $26 million to drill and complete each of the six to ten
additional appraisal wells. Where practicable, provide consistent references in either U.S.
or Australia dollars. In that regard, we note the disclosure at page 8 that "The Company
has raised more than A$350 million to date through an initial public equity offering listed
on the ASX, follow-on offerings, and private placements."
Competitive Strengths, page 7
7.You disclose a total of 21 wells have been drilled in the Beetaloo intersecting the Middle
Velkerri shales. Please clarify if these 21 wells include the six appraisal wells in which
you participated.
Also, please disclose if any of these 21 wells are currently producing, or have ever
produced, from the Middle Velkerri in the Beetaloo Basin.
8.You disclose on page 7 that your initial development area of the Middle Velkerri-B shale
shows an average shale thickness of 230 feet across a 610,473-acre area (approximately
954 square miles) and that your third-party engineering firm, Netherland Sewell

& Associates (NSAI), estimated the Middle Velkerri section is continuous across an
approximate 160 mile area (approximately 102,400 acres assuming a 160 square mile
area). Elsewhere on page 92, you disclose that recent NSAI estimates based on the current
work program include a prospective fairway acreage (in EP 161) of approximately 800
square miles (or approximately 512,000 acres). Please modify your disclosure to provide a
consistent metric, either square miles, acres or both, relating to your acreage. Also expand
your disclosure to further explain or reconcile the various differences in estimates of area
as noted above.
Also on page 7, it appears the approximate area should be “160 square miles” rather than
“160 miles.” Please review and revise your filing as necessary.
9.Please tell us if the estimates of acreage attributed to NSAI on pages 7 and 92 and the
estimates of EUR attributed to Subsurface Dynamics, Inc. on page 92 were commissioned
by Tamboran Resources. If so, provide NSAI’s and Subsurface Dynamics’ consent in
accordance with the Securities Act Rule 436 and revise your filing to clarify. Also tell us
what consideration you gave to identifying these entities as Experts under the disclosure
on page 154. If you did not commission any of the cited third-party data, please tell us the
general terms, conditions, and limitations, if any, imposed by NSAI and Subsurface
Dynamics for the use of this data in your prospectus.
Summary of Risk Factors, page 13
10.Revise to make clear in the first bullet point in this section that you do not expect to
generate any revenue from production until 2026 at the earliest, as you mention at page 70
in your Liquidity and Capital Resources discussion and in the first risk factor at page 18.
In order to provide the reader with appropriate context, ensure that your page 1 discussion
of your status as a "growth-driven independent natural gas production company" and
similar assertions in the prospectus take into account your expectations regarding the
earliest expected date for revenues from production.
