   1.                                                   We note your response
to prior comment 2. Consistent with our prior comment, please
                                                        provide disclosure that
addresses the material effects of transition risks related to climate
                                                        change in greater
detail. For example, provide additional information explaining the
                                                        impact to your business
model    from changing global demands for non-fossil fuel energy
                                                        sources" as referenced
on page 25 of your Form 10-K.

                                                        In addition, tell us
about other transition risks related to climate change you have
                                                        identified and explain
your disclosure considerations.

2.    We note your response to prior comment 3. Please provide us with
additional information
      explaining how you determined disclosure addressing the risks associated
with the
      possibility of litigation related to climate change and its potential
impact is not necessary
      or revise to provide this type of disclosure.

Operations, page

3.    Prior comment 5 is reissued as it does not appear that your disclosure
discusses the
      indirect consequences of climate-related regulation or business trends
noted in our prior
      comment (i.e., anticipated reputational risks resulting from operations
or products that
      produce greenhouse gas emissions, increased competition to develop
innovative new
      products that result in lower emissions, and developments that create new
opportunities
      for you). For example, it does not appear that your disclosure addresses
the effect
      of changes in sentiment for oil and gas exploration, development, and
production
      activities on parties such as investors and lenders.
4.    As your response to prior comment 7 does not appear to address each
element of our prior
      comment it is reissued in part. Please tell us about any weather-related
impacts on the
      availability of insurance.
       Please contact Michael Purcell at 202-551-5351 or Ethan Horowitz at
202-551-3311 with
any questions.
