On April 6, 2026, Mach

Natural Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the

“Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company, Mach Natural Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company

and the general partner of the Company, the selling unitholders party thereto (collectively, the “Selling Unitholders”)

and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Selling Unitholders agreed to sell to the

Underwriter, and the Underwriter agreed to purchase from the Selling Unitholders, 9,000,000 common units representing limited

partner interests in the Company (the “Common Units” and, such offering, the “Offering”). Under the terms of

the Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Unitholders granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional

1,350,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Company (the “Option Units”) from the Selling

Unitholders. In connection with the Offering, Tom L. Ward, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, through the Tom L. Ward 1992

Revocable Trust and the Tom L. Ward Family Foundation and certain other entities affiliated with Mr. Ward, which are not controlled

by Mr. Ward, purchased 153,256 Common Units in the Offering at the public offering price. The Offering closed on April 8, 2026. The

Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Units in the Offering and will not receive any proceeds from any future

sales of Option Units.

The Offering was made pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form

S-3 (File No. 333-291166) (the “Registration Statement”), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on October 30,

2025, and declared effective by the SEC on December 12, 2025. The material terms of the Offering are described in the base prospectus,

dated December 12, 2025, as supplemented by the final prospectus supplement, dated April 6, 2026, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities

Act (the “Prospectus”).

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties,

agreements and obligations, closing conditions and termination provisions. The Company and the Selling Unitholders have agreed to indemnify

the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Underwriter

may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

As more fully described under

the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus, the Underwriter or its affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage,

in investment banking, commercial banking and other financial advisory and commercial dealings with the Company, the Selling Unitholders

or each of their respective affiliates. Additionally, the Underwriter or its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments

and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for

their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments

of the Company, the Selling Unitholders or each of their respective affiliates.

accordance with this Agreement and except for FINRA’s clearance of the underwriting terms of the offering contemplated hereby as

required under FINRA’s Rules of Fair Practice, except where the failure to obtain such required consents, approvals, authorizations,

orders, registrations or qualifications would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) violate

any existing statute, law, regulation, ruling (assuming compliance with all applicable state securities and Blue Sky laws), filing, judgment,

injunction, order or decree applicable to any of the Partnership Entities or any of their respective properties except for such violations

Entities is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound, except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults or Encumbrances that

will not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. For the purpose of this Section 1.16, a “Debt

Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition that gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the

holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require

governmental or regulatory proceedings pending to which the Partnership Entities are a party or of which any property of the Partnership

Entities is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Partnership Entities, individually or in the aggregate, would have or may

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or would prevent or impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement, or which are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus; to the

best of the Mach Parties’ knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or others nor,

to the Mach Parties’ knowledge, is there any basis for any action, suit, inquiry, proceeding or investigation by or before any governmental

or other regulatory or administrative agency or commission; and there is no such action, suit, inquiry, proceeding or investigation against

any current or, to the knowledge of the Mach Parties, former director or officer of any of the Partnership Entities with respect to which

approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Permits”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local

or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies, and have made all declarations, amendments, supplements and filings with the relevant federal,

state, local or foreign governmental, regulatory or administrative authority, agency or body, in each case as necessary to own its properties

and conduct the businesses now operated by them in the manner described in the Registration Statement; each of the Partnership Entities

are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Permits and all of the Permits are valid and in full force and effect and

no event has occurred that allows, or after written notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination of any such Permit

or result in any other material impairment of the rights of any such Permit, except, in each case, where the failure so to comply or where

the invalidity of such Permits or the failure of such Permits to be in full force and effect, individually or in the aggregate, would

not have a Material Adverse Effect; and no Partnership Entity has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or material

modification of any such Permits; and, except as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus,

such Permits contain no restrictions that are materially burdensome to the Partnership Entities, taken as a whole.

1.36. Each

trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service

marks and trade names, patents and patent rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) material to carrying on their

businesses as described in the Pricing Prospectus, and none of the Partnership Entities have received any correspondence relating to any

Intellectual Property or notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property

which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of any of the Partnership Entities and which

infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, individually or

in the aggregate, would have or may reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; none of the Partnership Entities has created

any Encumbrance on, or granted any right or license with respect to, any such Intellectual Property except where the failure to own or

obtain a license or right to use any such Intellectual Property has not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

1.37. No

material labor dispute with the employees of any of the Partnership Entities exists, or, to the knowledge of the Mach Parties, is imminent.

businesses, assets, employees, officers and directors are in full force and effect; the Partnership Entities are in compliance with the

terms of such policies in all material respects; none of the Partnership Entities has received notice from any insurer or agent of such

insurer that capital improvements or other expenditures are required to be made in order to continue such insurance; there are no claims

by the Partnership Entities under any such policy as to which any insurer is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights

clause; and the Mach Parties have no reason to believe that any of the Partnership Entities will not be able to renew its existing insurance

coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business

at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

1.39. No

consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court, regulatory body, administrative agency

or other governmental body, agency or official having jurisdiction over any of the Partnership Entities or any of their applicable properties

other transactions contemplated hereby, except (i) such as may be required for (A) the registration of the Units under the Securities

Act, (B) the listing of the Units for trading on the NYSE or (C) the registration of the Units under the Exchange Act and compliance with

the securities or Blue Sky laws of various jurisdictions, all of which will be, or have been, effected in accordance with this Agreement

of Fair Practice and (ii) such consents, approvals, authorizations or filings which have been, or prior to the Closing Date will be, obtained

Partnership has established and maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i)

necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access

to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations and (iv) the recorded accountability

for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The

Partnership’s independent auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors of the General Partner have been advised of

(i) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which

could adversely affect the Partnership Entities’ ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data and (ii) any fraud,

whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Partnership Entities’ internal

control over financial reporting; since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, except as described

in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there have been no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting

or in other factors that could significantly affect internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions with regard

to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses; as of the date of the most recent balance sheet of the Partnership and its consolidated

Subsidiaries reviewed or audited by the Partnership’s accountants, there were no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies

in the internal controls of the Partnership; the Partnership is in compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and

all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or implementing the provisions thereof (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”)

that are then in effect and which the Partnership is required to comply with.

1.41. The

Partnership maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that comply with

the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act; such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information

relating to the Partnership Entities is made known to the General Partner’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer

by others within those entities to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, particularly during the periods in which the

periodic reports under the Exchange Act are being prepared and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects

to perform the functions for which they were established.

1.42. The

Partnership Entities have not, prior to the date hereof, made any offer or sale of securities which could be “integrated”

for purposes of the Securities Act with the offer or sale of the Units pursuant to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; and

the Partnership Entities have not sold or issued any security during the one hundred eighty (180)-day period preceding the date of the

Prospectus, including but not limited to any sales pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation D or Regulation S under the Securities Act, other

than outstanding options, rights or warrants as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

1.43. Except

as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Partnership Entities have filed all tax returns

that are required to have been filed by any of them pursuant to applicable U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. law and such returns

are complete and correct, and the Partnership Entities have paid all taxes shown by such returns or otherwise assessed, which are due

and payable by the Partnership Entities except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves

have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the financial statements referenced in Section 1.17 of the Partnership

Entities in respect of any income and other tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequately maintained in accordance

with GAAP. There are no outstanding agreements or waivers extending the statutory period of limitation applicable to any material U.S.

federal, state or local non-U.S. tax return of the Partnership Entities for any period, other than extensions of time within which to

file any such tax return obtained in the ordinary course of business. All unit transfer and other similar taxes that are required to be

paid in connection with the sale of the Units to be sold by the Partnership to the Underwriter hereunder are, or will be, fully paid by

the Partnership (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any such taxes imposed in connection with the resale of the Units by the Underwriter)

and all laws imposing such taxes have been, or will be, complied with in all material respects.

1.44. Except

as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (i) there

are no transactions between the Partnership Entities, on the one hand, and any of their respective “affiliates” (as defined

are required by the Securities Act to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and

(ii) no relationship, direct or indirect, exists between the Partnership Entities, on the one hand, and their respective Affiliates, directors,

officers, security holders, customers or suppliers, on the other hand, that is required by the Securities Act to be disclosed in the Registration

Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus that is not so disclosed.

1.45. There

are no statutes, regulations, documents or contracts of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Pricing

Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement which are not described or filed as required.

1.46. The

statements set forth in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the captions “Cash

Distribution Policy,” “Description of Common Units,” “The Partnership Agreement” and “Material U.S.

Federal Income Tax Consequences” and the statements set forth in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under the captions

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt

Agreements,” “Business and Properties—Legislative and Regulatory Environment,” “Legal Proceedings”

and “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence,” insofar as they purport to summarize the

provisions of the laws, regulations, agreements, documents or legal or governmental proceedings referred to therein, are accurate summaries

of such laws, regulations, agreements, documents or proceedings in all material respects. The Common Units (including the Units) conform

in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

1.47. No

Subsidiary is currently prohibited, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to the Partnership, from making any other distribution

on such Subsidiary’s ownership interests, from repaying to the Partnership any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from the Partnership

or from transferring any of such Subsidiary’s properties or assets to the Partnership or any other Subsidiary, except as disclosed

in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

1.48. None

of the Partnership Entities are a party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person (other than this Agreement) that would

give rise to a valid claim against any of them or any Underwriter for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection

with the offering and sale of the Units.

1.49. The

Partnership has procured Lock-Up Agreements (as defined herein) duly executed by each person and unitholder set forth on Schedule IV

hereto and shall be in full force and effect.

1.50. There

are (and prior to the Closing Date, will be) no debt securities, convertible securities or preferred stock issued or guaranteed by the

Partnership that are rated by a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined in Section

3(a)(62) under the Exchange Act.

1.51. Except

as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Partnership Entities are,

and during the five (5) years prior to the date hereof were, (i) in compliance with any and all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined

herein), (ii) have received and maintain all Permits required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective

businesses as now conducted, and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of all such Permits, except for any noncompliance

with Environmental Laws, failure to receive or maintain Permits required under Environmental Laws, or failure to comply with the terms

and conditions of such Permits as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth or

incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, there are no actions, suits

or proceedings by any private party or governmental body or agency arising under Environmental Laws that are pending or known to be threatened

against any of the Partnership Entities, except for any such action, suit or proceeding as would not, individually or in the aggregate,

have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus,

none of the Partnership Entities has been named as a “potentially responsible party” under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental

Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended. Except as set forth or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement,

the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no ongoing or expected costs or liabilities arising under Environmental Laws

(including, without limitation, any such capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up, closure of properties or compliance

with Environmental Laws or any Permit required under Environmental Laws, any related constraints on operating activities and any potential

liabilities to third parties) which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Partnership Entities

do not anticipate any such costs or liabilities. For the purpose of this Section 1.51, “Environmental Laws” means any

and all federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, orders, judgments, decrees, or other legal requirements

of any governmental authority, including, without limitation, any international, foreign, national, state, provincial, regional, or local

authority, relating to pollution, the protection of human health and safety (to the extent relating to exposure to hazardous or toxic

substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants), the environment, or natural resources, or to the use, handling, storage, manufacturing,

transportation, treatment, discharge, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants.

1.52. Each

“employee benefit plan,” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended

(“ERISA”), that is maintained, administered or contributed to by any of the Partnership Entities for employees or former

employees of any of the Partnership Entities and their respective affiliates (each, an “Employee Plan”) has been maintained

in compliance with its terms and the requirements of any applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including but not limited

to ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), except to the extent that failure to so comply,

individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material

offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization or approval of the payment, giving or receipt of money, property, gifts or anything else

of value, directly or indirectly, to any government official (including any officer or employee of a government or government-owned or

controlled entity or of a public international organization, or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any of the

and will notify the Underwriter immediately, and confirm the notice in writing (which may occur by email), (i) when any post-effective

amendment to a Registration Statement shall become effective, or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended prospectus shall have

been filed, to furnish the Underwriter with copies thereof, and to file promptly all material required to be filed by the Partnership

with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, (ii) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of

any request by the Commission for any amendment to a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional

information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any

order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Units for offering

or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes; and (v) if the Partnership

ceases to be an Emerging Growth Company at any time prior to the later of (A) completion of the distribution of the Units within the meaning

of the Securities Act and (B) completion of the 45-day restricted period referred to in Section 6.9 hereof. The Mach Parties will

promptly effect the filings necessary pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and will take such steps as it deems necessary

to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission

and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Mach Parties will make every reasonable effort to prevent

the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.

6.2. The

Mach Parties will give the Underwriter notice of its intention to file any amendment to a Registration Statement (including any filing

under Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act), or any amendment, supplement or revision to the Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus,

will furnish the Underwriter with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the

case may be, and will not file or use any such document to which the Underwriter or counsel for the Underwriter shall reasonably object.

6.3. The

Mach Parties will use their best efforts to qualify the Units for offering and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as

you may reasonably request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions

for as long as may be necessary to complete the distribution of the Units, provided that nothing in this Section 6.3 shall require

the Partnership to qualify as a foreign limited partnership in any jurisdiction in which it is not already so qualified, or to file a

general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

6.4. The

Mach Parties have furnished or will upon written request (which may occur by email) deliver to the Underwriter, without charge, three

as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for the Underwriter. The copies of the Registration Statement and

each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriter will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the

Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

Mach Parties have delivered to the Underwriter, without charge, as many written and electronic copies of each Preliminary Prospectus as

such Underwriter reasonably requested, and the Mach Parties hereby consent to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the Securities

Act. The Mach Parties will furnish to the Underwriter, without charge, prior to 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the business day next succeeding

is required to be delivered in connection with sales of the Units under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (or in lieu thereof, the

notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act), any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is

the effective date of this Agreement, to the Underwriter an “electronic Prospectus” to be used by the Underwriter in connection

with the offering and sale of the Units. As used herein, the term “electronic Prospectus” means a form of the most recent

Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, that meets each

subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or

actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained

or incorporated by reference in the Initial Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement,

or any post-effective amendment thereof, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein

or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material

fact included in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof,

any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or any “issuer information” filed or required

to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state

therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,

not misleading; provided, however, that the Mach Parties will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, liability,

claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission

made in the Initial Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement, or any post-effective

amendment thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof,

any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication in reliance upon and in conformity with written information

furnished to the Mach Parties by or on behalf of any Underwriter or Selling Unitholder through the Underwriter expressly for use therein

or written information furnished to the Mach Parties by any Selling Unitholder expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed

that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter is the information described as such in Section 10(c) below, and the

only such information furnished by any Selling Unitholder is the Selling Unitholder Information of such Selling Unitholder.

(b) Each

Selling Unitholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls

any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against any and all losses,

liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any

and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened,

or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation, and which are in each case documented

by the incurring Underwriter), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange

Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are

based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Initial Registration

Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereof, or the omission

or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

or arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing

Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters

Communication, or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act,

or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements

therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that such Selling Unitholder

will only be liable in any such case to the extent such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses arise out of or are based upon

any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any such documents in reliance upon and

in conformity with such Selling Unitholder’s Selling Unitholder Information. The liability of such Selling Unitholder under the

indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph shall be limited to an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the offering of Units purchased

under this Agreement received by such Selling Unitholder as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus .

Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders, each of the directors of the Mach Parties

and the Selling Unitholders, each of the officers of the Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders who shall have signed a Registration

Statement, and each other person, if any, who controls the Mach Parties or the Selling Unitholders within the meaning of Section 15 of

the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred

(including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating,

preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement

of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange

Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are

based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Initial Registration

Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereof, or the omission

or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

or arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing

Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Written Testing-the-Waters

Communication, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order

to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent,

but only to the extent, that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement

or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished

to the Partnership or the Selling Unitholders by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Underwriter expressly for use therein, it

being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus

furnished on behalf of the Underwriter: the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriter

appearing under the caption “Underwriting”; and the only such information furnished by any Selling Unitholder is the Selling

Unitholder Information of such Selling Unitholder.

(d) Promptly

after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) of notice of the commencement of any action, such

indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such Section, notify each party

against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying party

shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 10). In case any such action is brought against any

indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate

therein, and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the

indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel

reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right

to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified

party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in

connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense

of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have

reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one

or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action

on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties.

In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel)

separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions

in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, which counsel, in the event of indemnified parties

under Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), shall be selected by the Underwriter. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for

any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment

for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of

such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying

party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the third and fourth sentences of this paragraph,

the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i)

such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying

party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No

indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to

the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution

may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement,

compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or

claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified

party.

(e) If

the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under

Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect

thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as

a result of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate

to reflect the relative benefits received by the Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the

other, from the offering of the Units. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by

applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion

as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders,

on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities,

claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits

received by the Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, from the offering of the

Units shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by

the Selling Unitholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth

in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether

the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information

supplied by the Partnership, the Selling Unitholders or the Underwriter, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,

access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Mach Parties, the Selling

Unitholders and the Underwriter each agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10(e)

were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations

referred to above in this Section 10(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, liabilities,

claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include

any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action

or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess

of the amount by which the total price at which the Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public

exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue

statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent

misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was

not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriter’s obligations in this Section 10(e) to contribute are several

in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(f) The

obligations of the parties to this Agreement contained in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies

which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

11. Notwithstanding

anything herein contained, this Agreement (or the obligations of the Underwriter with respect to any Option Units which have yet to be

purchased) may be terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 12, in the absolute discretion of the Underwriter, by notice

given to the Partnership and the Selling Unitholders, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date

or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, (a) trading generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended or materially limited, or

minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by

such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental or regulatory authority, (b) trading of any securities of or

guaranteed by the Partnership or any Subsidiary shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (c) a general

moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or Maryland shall have been declared by Federal, New York State or Maryland State

authorities or a new restriction materially adversely affecting the distribution of the Firm Units or the Option Units, as the case may

be, shall have become effective or (d) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or

the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development

involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which

is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriter, impracticable to market the Units to be delivered on the Closing Date or Option

Closing Date, as the case may be, or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Units.

If this Agreement is terminated

pursuant to this Section 11, such termination will be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section

12 hereof.

12. The

provisions of Section 8 and Section 10 and the respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other

statements of the Selling Unitholders, of the Mach Parties or its officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this

Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or

on behalf of any Underwriter, the Selling Unitholders, the Mach Parties or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors

or any controlling person, (ii) delivery of and payment for the Units and (iii) any termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriter under Section 9 or otherwise because of any failure or refusal on the

part of the Mach Parties or any Selling Unitholder to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or

if for any reason the Mach Parties or any Selling Unitholder shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition

of the Underwriter’s obligations cannot be fulfilled, in each case other than as a result of a termination by the Underwriter pursuant

to Section 11 hereof, the Mach Parties and such Selling Unitholder agree to reimburse the Underwriter with respect to themselves,

severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) reasonably incurred and documented by the Underwriter

in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder; provided, however, such amounts to be reimbursed hereunder other

than the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel shall not exceed $100,000.

13. This

Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Selling Unitholders, the Mach Parties and the Underwriter, the officers

and directors of the Mach Parties referred to herein, any controlling persons referred to herein and their respective successors and assigns.

Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal

or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. No purchaser of Units from

any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

14. All

notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt thereof by the

recipient if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriter shall be given to Morgan Stanley

& Co. LLC, 1585 Broadway, New York, New York, 10036, Attention: Equity Syndicate Desk, with a copy to the Legal Department.

15. If

the Underwriter is affiliated with any person or entity engaged to act as an investment adviser on behalf of any investor who has a direct

or indirect interest in the Units being sold by the Selling Unitholders, the Units which the Underwriter shall procure purchasers for,

or failing which shall underwrite, shall not include any Common Units attributable to such investor and, accordingly, the fees or other

amounts received by the Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not include any fees or other

amounts attributable to the Common Units attributable to such investor.

16. This

Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same

instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like

import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic

signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form in compliance with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000 or any comparable

state statutes, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical

delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions

contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

17. THIS

AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO SUCH STATE’S

PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

18. The

parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of and venue in the federal courts located in the City of New York, New York in connection with

any dispute related to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated hereby, or any other matter contemplated hereby.

19. The

Mach Parties and Selling Unitholders each acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Units pursuant to this Agreement,

including the determination of the public offering price of the Units and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length

commercial transaction between the Mach Parties and Selling Unitholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, (ii) in connection

therewith and with the process leading to such transaction the Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary

of the Selling Unitholders, the Mach Parties or their respective stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) no Underwriter

has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Mach Parties or the Selling Unitholders with respect to the offering

contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the

Mach Parties or the Selling Unitholders on other matters) or any other obligation to the Mach Parties or the Selling Unitholders except

the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders have consulted their own legal

and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Mach Parties and Selling Unitholders each agree that each will not claim

that the Underwriter, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to

the Mach Parties or the Selling Unitholders, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

20. The

Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders acknowledge that the Underwriter’s research analysts and research departments are required

to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and

that the Underwriter’s research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research

reports with respect to the Partnership and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions.

The Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders each hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the

Mach Parties or the Selling Unitholders may have against the Underwriter with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from

the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent

with the views or advice communicated to the Mach Parties or the Selling Unitholders by such Underwriter’s investment banking divisions.

The Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders acknowledge that the Underwriter is a full service securities firm and as such from time

to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transaction for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long

or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Selling Unitholders further acknowledge and agree that, although the Underwriter may provide the Selling Unitholders with certain

Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation in connection with the offering of Units as provided

under this Agreement, the Underwriter is not making a recommendation to the Selling Unitholders to participate in such offering, to enter

into a “lock-up” agreement or to sell any Units at the purchase price per share determined in accordance and subject to the

terms of this Agreement, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is making

such a recommendation.

21. Notwithstanding

anything herein to the contrary, the Mach Parties and the Selling Unitholders are authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal

and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and

other tax analyses) provided to the Mach Parties or the Selling Unitholders relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriter

imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential

(and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose,

“tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

22. This

Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Selling Unitholders, the Mach Parties

and the Underwriter, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

23. The

Selling Unitholders, the Mach Parties and the Underwriter hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,

any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated

hereby.

24. (a) In the event

that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from

such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as

the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were

governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In

the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under

a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to

be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement

were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

As used in this Section

24:

“BHC Act Affiliate”

has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. Section 1841(k).

“Covered Entity”

means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R.

Section 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. Section

47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R Section 382.2(b).

“Default Right”

has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R Sections 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“U.S. Special Resolution

Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

If the foregoing is in accordance

with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Mach Parties a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument will

become a binding agreement among the Selling Unitholders, the Mach Parties and the Underwriter.

MORGAN STANLEY & CO. LLC

1585 Broadway

New York, New York 10036

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned refers to

the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among Mach Natural Resources LP, a Delaware limited

partnership (the “Partnership”), Mach Natural Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and general partner

of the Partnership, certain unitholders of the Partnership listed in Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement, as selling unitholders,

and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Underwriter”). As an inducement to the Underwriter to execute the Underwriting

Agreement in connection with the proposed public offering of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the

“Common Units” and such offering, the “Public Offering”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on

Form S-3, the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period commencing on the date of this letter agreement (this “Agreement”)

and ending at the close of the first Trading Day (as defined herein) on or after the 45th day after the date of the final prospectus used

to sell the Common Units (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (such 45-day period being

referred to herein as the “Lock-Up Period”), to which you are or expect to become parties, the undersigned will not

(and will cause any spouse or immediate family member of the spouse or the undersigned living in the undersigned’s household, any

partnership, corporation or other entity within the undersigned’s control, and any trustee of any trust that holds Common Units

or other securities of the Partnership for the benefit of the undersigned or such spouse or family member not to) offer, sell, contract

to sell (including any short sale), pledge, hypothecate, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of

Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), grant any option, right or

warrant for the sale of, purchase any option or contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, or otherwise encumber, dispose

of or transfer, or grant any rights with respect to, directly or indirectly, any Common Units or securities convertible into or exchangeable

or exercisable for any Common Units, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other

arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Units, whether any such aforementioned

transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Units or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the

intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement,

without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Underwriter, which consent may be withheld in the respective Underwriter’s

sole discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Trading Day” is a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for

the buying and selling of securities.

Exhibit A-1

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s Common Units or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any

Common Units without the prior written consent of the Underwriter as follows, provided that each resulting transferee of Common Units

Registration Statement on Form S-3

We are acting as special counsel

to Mach Natural Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), in connection with the registration under

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), on a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-291166)

initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 30, 2025 and declared effected by

the Commission on December 12, 2025 (such Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”).

Pursuant to the Registration

Statement, the Selling Unitholders (as defined below) have proposed to sell 10,350,000 common units representing limited partner interests

in the Partnership (the “Common Units”), including 1,350,000 Common Units to cover the underwriters’ option to purchase

additional Common Units, if any, pursuant to that certain underwriting agreement, dated April 6, 2026 (the “Underwriting Agreement”),

among the Partnership, Mach Natural Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership

(the “General Partner”), VEPU Inc., Simlog Inc., Sabinal Energy Operating, LLC (each, a “Selling Unitholder” and

collectively, the “Selling Unitholders”), and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC..

In that connection, we have

examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments

as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion, including (i) the limited partnership and organizational documents of the

Partnership, including the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated

as of June 13, 2024) (the “Partnership Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Mach

Natural Resources GP LLC, the General Partner (the “GP LLC Agreement”), (ii) the Underwriting Agreement, (iii) minutes and

records of the limited partnership proceedings of the Partnership with respect to the issuance of the Common Units, (iv) the Registration

Statement and the exhibits thereto, (v) the base prospectus, dated December 12, 2025, which forms part of and is included in the Registration

Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), (vi) the Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the Partnership’s preliminary prospectus

supplement dated April 6, 2026 (the “Preliminary Prospectus”), relating to the offering of the Common Units and (vii) the

Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the Partnership’s final prospectus supplement, dated April 6, 2026 (the “Final Prospectus”),

relating to the offering of the Common Units.

For purposes of this letter,

we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted

to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity of all natural

persons, the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority

of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties

thereto other than the Partnership. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which we have not independently established

or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Partnership and others.

Based upon and subject to the

qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth herein, and having regard for such legal considerations

as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that the Common Units are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Our opinion expressed above

are subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of (i) any bankruptcy,

insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’

rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law),

(iii) public policy considerations which may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies, and (iv) any laws except the Delaware

Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “Delaware Act”). In addition, we do not express any opinion as to the enforceability

of any rights to contribution or indemnification which may be violative of public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including

federal or state securities law, rule or regulation) or the enforceability of any so-called fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer

“savings clause” (and any similar provision in any other document or agreement) to the extent such provisions purport to limit

the amount of the obligations of any party or the right to contribution of any other party with respect to such obligations.

We do not find it necessary

for the purposes of this opinion, and accordingly we do not purport to cover herein, the application of the securities or “Blue

Sky” laws of the various states to the issuance of the Common Units.

This opinion is limited to the

specific issues addressed herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein. We assume no obligation

to revise or supplement this opinion should the Delaware Act be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

This opinion is furnished to

you in connection with the filing of the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference into the Registration

Statement, and in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Act, and is not to be used,

circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon or otherwise referred to by any other person for any other purpose. No opinion is expressed

herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, other than as to the specific issues addressed herein,

and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein.

We hereby consent to the filing

of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K and its incorporation into the

Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Preliminary

Prospectus and Final Prospectus. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent

is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Re: Mach Natural Resources LP

To the addressee set forth above:

We have acted as special tax counsel to Mach Natural

Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), in connection with the preparation of (i) the registration

statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (the “Commission”) on October 30, 2025 and declared effective on December 12, 2025 (as amended, the “Registration

Statement”), (ii) the prospectus related thereto (the “Base Prospectus”), and (iii) the Base Prospectus,

as supplemented by the final prospectus supplement dated as of April 8, 2026 (the “Prospectus”), pursuant to which

certain unitholders are offering to sell up to 10,350,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership.

This opinion is based on various facts and assumptions,

and is conditioned upon certain representations made by the Partnership as to factual matters through a certificate of an officer of the

Partnership (the “Officer’s Certificate”). In addition, this opinion is based upon factual representations of

the Partnership concerning its business, properties and governing documents as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus

and the Partnership’s responses to our examinations and inquiries.

In our capacity as special tax counsel to the Partnership,

we have, with your consent, made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies certified

or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such documents, corporate records and other instruments, as we have deemed necessary or

appropriate for purposes of this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,

the genuineness of all signatures thereon, the legal capacity of natural persons executing such documents and the conformity to authentic

original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. For the purpose of our opinion, we have not made an independent investigation

or audit of the facts set forth in the above-referenced documents or representations. In addition, in rendering this opinion we have assumed

the truth and accuracy of all representations and statements made to us, which are qualified as to knowledge or belief, without regard

to such qualification.

Based on the facts, assumptions and representations

and subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Officer’s Certificate,

the statements in the Prospectus under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” insofar as such statements

purport to constitute summaries of U.S. federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute the

opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP as to the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the matters described therein. This opinion

relates solely to the specific matters set forth above, and no opinion is expressed or should be inferred as to any other U.S. federal

income tax issues or the tax consequences under any state, local or foreign laws or with respect to other areas of U.S. federal taxation.

This opinion is rendered to you as of the date

hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update this opinion subsequent to the date hereof. This opinion is based on current provisions

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, regulations promulgated thereunder and interpretations thereof by the Internal Revenue

Service and the courts having jurisdiction over such matters. Our opinion is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts,

and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not assert a contrary position. Furthermore, no assurances can be

given that future legislative, judicial or administrative changes, on either a prospective or retroactive basis, would not affect the

conclusions stated in this opinion. Any variation or difference in the facts from those set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus,

the Officer’s Certificate or any other documents upon which we have relied as described above may affect the conclusions stated

herein.

This opinion is furnished to you, and is for your

use in connection with the transactions set forth in the Prospectus. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose

or furnished to, assigned to, quoted to or relied upon by any other person, firm or other entity, for any purpose, without our prior written

consent, except that this opinion may be relied upon by persons entitled to rely on it pursuant to applicable provisions of federal securities

law.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion

as an Exhibit 8.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K and to the incorporation by reference of this opinion to the Prospectus.

In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act
