My name is Kent Watts. I am the CEO and President of Hyperdynamics Corporation (the "Registrant" or the "Company"). The Registrant requests that the effectiveness of above referenced Form S-1 be accelerated to be August 11 , 2006 at 11 A. M. EST.
The Company/Registrant acknowledges that:
a) Should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Filing;
(b) The action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Filing effective, does not relieve the Company/Registrant from its full responsibility for the
adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Filing; and
(c) The Company/Registrant may not assert the staff comments or the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Thank you.
