File No. 1-36120 |
Dear Mr. Schwall:
On behalf of our client, Antero Resources Corporation (“Antero”), we hereby acknowledge receipt of comments and requests for additional information contained in the letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated December 21, 2016, relating to Antero’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Comment Letter”).
We are working with Antero to prepare a response to the Comment Letter and furnish the requested information to the Staff. In light of the holidays and limited availability of the senior staff of Antero, whose input is essential in preparing a response to the Comment Letter, Antero will be delayed in furnishing its response to the Staff. Antero respectfully requests an extension of time to respond to the Comment Letter so that it can devote appropriate time and resources to consider the Staff’s comments. Antero intends to submit a response to the Comment Letter as promptly as practicable, but no later than Monday, January 16, 2017.

Very truly yours, |
