1.    Changes to your proved undeveloped reserves ("PUDs") for the fiscal year

undeveloped
      properties reclassified from non-proved properties at December 31, 2016

      undeveloped at December 31, 2017. Describe the nature of these PUDs

         for drilling and whether any have been drilled through September 30,
2018.
2.       Disclosures in your previous filings on Form 10-K suggest that PUDs
removed in prior
         years due to the impact of the 5-year development rule were primarily
dry gas locations.
         Tell us how the previously removed PUDs that are again part of your
development plan fit
         within your broader drilling program which has historically targeted
the "more liquids-
         rich areas in [y]our portfolio."
3.       You have revised your disclosed quantities of PUDs in the current year
and in prior years
         due to the requirement per Rule 4-10(a)(31) of Regulation S-X to
develop PUDs within
         five years of the initial booking date. Provide us with a description
of the process through
         which changes to your development schedule are determined by
management and
         approved by the Board of Directors. As part of your response,
specifically address the
         manner in which decisions are made to remove PUDs that will not be
developed within
         five years of their initial booking as proved reserves.

4.       We note your presentation of selected financial information on a
stand-alone basis for
         Antero (Parent) and your statement that you believe this information
is useful to investors
         "as a means to evaluate Antero's operations on a stand-alone basis and
its ability to
         service its debt obligations that are not guaranteed by Antero
Midstream or to incur
         additional debt." Tell us in greater detail why you believe this
information is meaningful
         and the degree to which it is meant to convey information regarding
your exploration,
         development, and production operations to investors in light of your
segment disclosure
         provided pursuant to FASB ASC 280-10-50 and results of operations

Form 8-K filed August 1, 2018

Exhibit 99.1, page 1

5.       You present a number of measures that appear to be non-GAAP, but are
not identified as
         such (e.g., adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDAX
margin, stand-alone
         net debt, etc). Please review each of the measures you include in
Exhibit 99.1 to determine
         whether they are non-GAAP and revise your disclosure as necessary for
compliance with
         Item 10(e)(1)(i) of Regulation S-K.
6.       You reconcile the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDAX to net income
including
         noncontrolling interest. Revise to provide a reconciliation to net
income as presented in
         the statement of operations under GAAP. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A)
of Regulation S-K
         and question 103.02 of the Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations
regarding Non-
         GAAP Financial Measures.
