Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On February 13, 2015, Harvest Natural Resources, Inc. (the "Company") received a notification (the "Notice") from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements. Specifically, Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual requires NYSE-listed companies to maintain a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share of common stock over 30 consecutive trading days.

As required by the NYSE, the Company will notify the NYSE that it intends to cure the deficiency and return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirement. Under the NYSE’s rules, the Company has a period of six months from the date of the Notice to bring its share price and 30 trading-day average share price back above $1.00. During this period, the Company’s common stock will continue to be traded on the NYSE under the symbol "HNR", subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements, but will be assigned the notation .BC after the listing symbol to signify that the Company is not currently in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards. If the Company fails to achieve compliance with NYSE continued listing requirement by the expiration of the six-month cure period, the NYSE may commence suspension and delisting procedures.

The Company’s business operations, securities reporting requirements and debt obligations are unaffected by the Notice.





Item 8.01 Other Events.

As required by NYSE rules, on February 18, 2015 the Company issued a press release relating to the Notice. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated into this item 8.01 by reference.
