Explanation of Responses:

1. This Form 3 amendment is being filed to amend the original Form 3 filed on November 4, 2021 which incorrectly stated the number of shares of the issuer's common stock ("Shares") beneficially owned by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB") as 21,398,753 Shares. A Form 4 was filed by CPPIB on November 4, 2021 to disclose an acquisition of beneficial ownership of 24,166 Shares on November 2, 2021. CPPIB subsequently learned that it may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of such 24,166 Shares on November 1, 2021 and such Shares should have been included on the Form 3 as beneficially owned by CPPIB. The number of Shares beneficially owned by CPPIB Crestone Peak Resources Canada Inc. ("CP Canada") remains the same as reported in the original Form 3 (and as set forth in footnote 2 below).

2. The securities consist of (1) 21,398,753 Shares held of record by CP Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPPIB and (2) 24,166 Shares held of record by CPPIB MAP Cayman SPC ("MAP"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPPIB.

3. CP Canada and CPPIB may be deemed to share beneficial ownership over the 21,398,753 Shares held by CP Canada. CP Canada has no beneficial ownership over the 24,166 Shares held by MAP.

4. The 24,166 Shares held by MAP were acquired on behalf of MAP as a result of investment activities of an investment manager unaffiliated with CPPIB who has discretionary authority in respect of such investment activities. CPPIB has control over the termination of such investment management agreement and may potentially acquire control over the 24,166 Shares held by MAP within a period of 60 days or less in connection with such termination. Accordingly, CPPIB may be deemed to beneficially own such 24,166 Shares.
