Item 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 8, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on April 8, 2021 (“Amendment No. 1”) and Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on April 14, 2021 (“Amendment No. 2 and, as amended by this Amendment No. 3, this “Schedule 13D”), and is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-1(a), with respect to the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Riley Exploration Permian, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or “Riley Exploration”), whose principal executive offices are located at 8000 E. Maplewood Avenue, Suite 130, Greenwood Village, CO 80111. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, the name of the Issuer was Tengasco, Inc.

Except as set forth herein, the Original Schedule 13D, as amended prior to this Amendment No. 3, is unmodified. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the respective meanings ascribed to those terms in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended prior to this Amendment No. 3.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following at the end thereof:

On April 3, 2024, in connection with a registered secondary public offering (the “Secondary Offering”) of Common Stock, Bluescape Riley Holdings and certain other selling stockholders, the Issuer, and the underwriters party thereto (the “Underwriters”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) pursuant to which Bluescape Riley Holdings agreed to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agreed to purchase from Bluescape Riley Holdings, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, an aggregate of 700,000 shares of Common Stock at a net sales price of $25.515 per share, with aggregate net proceeds to Bluescape Riley Holdings of $17,860,500. Bluescape Riley Holdings completed the Secondary Offering on April 8, 2024.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5 (a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended as follows:

Each description of percentage ownership of Common Stock in this Schedule 13D is based on that total number of shares disclosed by the Issuer. The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock beyond the number of shares in which such Reporting Person has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, the Reporting Persons disclaim all such beneficial ownership.

As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the sales pursuant to the Secondary Offering, Bluescape Riley Holdings directly holds 4,521,767 shares of Common Stock, representing 21.11% of the total number of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

John Wilder Jr. has the power to direct the affairs of Bluescape Resources as its Executive Chairman.

(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, any of its directors or executive officers, has effected any transaction in the shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.
