SCHEDULE 13D

| Item 1. | Security and Issuer |
| (a) | Title of Class of Securities:
Common Stock |
| (b) | Name of Issuer:
BATTALION OIL CORP |
| (c) | Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:
820 Gessner Road, Suite 1100, Houston,
TEXAS
, 77024. |
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:
On March 24, 2026, the Master Fund effected a distribution in kind of 5,200,000 shares (the "Shares") of common stock of the Issuer in the aggregate to: (i) its two feeder funds, Luminus Energy Partners QP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("LEP Onshore"), which received 2,117,138 Shares, and LEP Offshore (through LILP, an intermediary entity which received 2,641,190 Shares); and (ii) two affiliates that have economic interests in the Master Fund, namely LCP Onshore, which received 391,694 Shares, and LCP Offshore, which received 91,930 Shares. Each of the Funds had issued illiquid certificates to their respective investors on April 1, 2020 (collectively, the "Illiquid Certificates"). The Funds concurrently distributed the Shares to the holders of the Illiquid Certificates (collectively, the Certificate Holders"). For ease of mechanics, calculations were made on a look-through basis with the Master Fund distributing the Shares directly to the Certificate Holders and to LILP. The distribution in kind was made pursuant the terms of the Illiquid Certificates and the constituent documents of the respective Funds.
In connection with the distribution in kind, the Manager planned to distribute 5,200,000 shares of common stock. As Certificate Holders entitled to receive 1,145,542 shares of common stock (the "Segregated Shares") in the aggregate did not either (i) respond or provide the requisite information to the Fund's administrator and the Manager to receive the Segregated Shares, (ii) were unable to accept delivery of the Segregated Shares or (iii) chose not to participate in the distribution (such Certificate Holders being referred to as the "Non Returners"), the Master Fund continues to hold the Segregated Shares and retains both voting and disposition power over the Segregated Shares. The Master Fund, however, has no economic interest in the Segregated Shares as the Master Fund is holding the Segregated Shares for the benefit of the Non Returners. The Master Fund can, in its discretion, sell the Segregated Shares on behalf of the Non Returners and/or make one or more distribution in kind of the Segregated Shares to the Non Returners who provide their requisite information. | |
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) | The information set forth in rows 11 and 13 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference. The percentage set forth in row 13 is based on (i) 18,256,563 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of March 18, 2024, based on the number of shares outstanding as reported by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026, plus (ii) (a) 2,361,487 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of 13,336 shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned directly by Master Fund, (b) 3,962,723 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of 20,269 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock owned directly by Master Fund, (c) 3,960,226 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of 17,211 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock owned directly by Master Fund, (d) 1,968,326 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of 9,835 shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and (e) 2,052,473 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of 9,835 shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock owned directly by Master Fund.
Due to the nature of the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a "group," within the meaning of Section 13d-5 of the Act, comprised of the Reporting Persons and the Voting Agreement Members. Shares listed as beneficially owned by each Reporting Person exclude shares held by any of the Voting Agreement Members. The Reporting Persons hereby expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any Common Stock beneficially owned by any of the Voting Agreement Members or any other person, and do not affirm membership in a "group" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 of the Act) with any of the Voting Agreement Members or any other person, and this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as acknowledging that the Reporting Persons, for any or all purposes, beneficially owns any Common Stock beneficially owned by any of the Voting Agreement Members or any other person or is a member of a group with any of the Voting Agreement Members or any other person. |
| (b) | The information set forth in rows 7 through 10 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference. |
| (c) | Except as set forth herein, no transactions in the Common Stock were effected during the past sixty days by any Reporting Person. |
| (d) | No person (other than the Reporting Persons) is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock subject to this Schedule 13D |
| (e) | Not applicable. |

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
