1.     We note your response to comment 1 and we reissue the comment in part as
we were
       unable to locate support for your claim that your operation of eight
rigs in Oklahoma
       makes you "one of the most active operators in Oklahoma based on rig
count." Please
       provide further supplemental support for the assertion or revise.

4.       The expanded disclosure provided in Amendment No. 1 in response to
comment 20 does
         not appear to include an explanation of the reason(s) for the
significant changes related to
         each line item other than production. Regarding the changes in the
proved reserves for the
         Acquired Properties presented on page F-6, you disclose a significant
increase in natural
         gas reserves and total proved reserves expressed as barrels of oil
equivalent due to
         revisions in the previous estimates of such reserves without an
accompanying explanation
         of the reason(s) for the change. Refer to FASB ASC 932-235-50-5 and
revise your
         disclosure accordingly. This comment also applies to the disclosure
for Roan Resources
         LLC presented on page F-34 regarding the changes due to the purchase
of reserves for the
         period ending December 31, 2015 and the revisions of the previous
estimates of reserves
         for the periods ending December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.
