    (4)  Take any other action in connection with the foregoing that, in the

discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to the attorney-in-fact full power and authority
to do and perform all and every act requisite, necessary or proper to be done in
the exercise of any of the rights and powers granted herein, as fully to all
intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do if personally present,
with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming
all that the attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of
this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers granted herein.  The
undersigned acknowledges that the attorney-in-fact, in serving in such capacity
at the request of the undersigned, is not assuming (nor is Magnolia Oil & Gas
Corporation assuming) any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with
Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

The undersigned agrees that the attorney-in-fact may rely entirely on
information furnished orally or in writing by or at the direction of the
undersigned to the attorney-in-fact.  The undersigned also agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation and the attorney-in-fact
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in these
respects) that arise out of or that are based upon any untrue statements or
omissions of necessary facts in the information provided by or at the direction
of the undersigned, or upon the lack of timeliness in the delivery of
information by or at the direction of the undersigned, to the attorney-in-fact
for purposes of executing, acknowledging, delivering or filing a Form ID, Form
3, Form 4, Form 5, Form 144, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (including amendments
thereto) with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in
securities issued by Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation and agrees to reimburse
Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation and the attorney-in-fact on demand for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file any Form ID, Form 3, Form 4, Form 5,
Form 144, Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G (including amendments thereto) with
respect to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued
by Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in
a signed writing delivered to the attorney-in-fact.  This Power of Attorney does
not revoke any other power of attorney that the undersigned has previously
granted.
