Dear Mr. Schwall:

In accordance with my discussion with Bob Carroll, the Company is requesting an extension until June 21, 2012 in order to file its responsive letter to the staff's comment letter of May 1, 2012. Miller requires the additional time in order to obtain further corroborating background and supporting information in coordination with Ralph E. Davis (its petroleum engineer) and its accountants in order to respond to the engineering comment in the staff's correspondence of May 1, 2012.

We appreciate the consideration and courtesies provided by the staff.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ James M. Schneider
