Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Halcón Resources Corporation (“Halcón”) has preliminarily estimated its total proved reserves as of December 31, 2017 to be between 48 MMBoe and 52 MMBoe with PV-10 of between $275 million and $300 million, and Halcón expects the estimated standardized measure to be in the same range as PV-10. Between 26% and 30% of these estimated total proved reserves were classified as proved developed as of December 31, 2017, and approximately 65% was oil. Estimated proved reserve data is based on SEC pricing at December 31, 2017 of $51.34 per Bbl of oil and $2.976 per MMBtu of natural gas. The foregoing preliminary estimates of oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas proved reserves and the estimated present values thereof were prepared by Halcón’s internal engineering staff and have not been prepared, audited or reviewed by an independent petroleum engineer. The December 31, 2017 estimated proved reserves that will be reported by Halcón will be based on a reserve report of its independent petroleum engineers, Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (“NSAI”), that has not yet been prepared. Although Halcón believes its internal preliminary estimates of proved reserves are prepared on a basis consistent with the methodology employed by NSAI, the proved reserves estimates as of December 31, 2017 of NSAI could deviate from the range of Halcón’s preliminary internal estimates.

In addition, Halcón estimates that its net production for the fourth quarter of 2017 was approximately 6,300 Boe/d, which estimate is subject to revision.
