DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), originally filed by Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the guarantors identified in the Table of Subsidiary Guarantor Registrants above, with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

· Registration No. 333-197859, filed on Form S-3 on August 5, 2014, pertaining to the registration of an unspecified amount of issued or issuable debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, and guarantees of debt securities.

On December 15, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 (the “Filing”) of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), which cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, et al., Case No. 15-12533 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of such offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
