Item 4.01 Change in Registrant's Certifying Account.

Dismissal of Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On and effective as of April 21, 2021, Chesapeake Granite Wash Trust (the "Trust") dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as its independent registered public accounting firm.



The reports of PwC on the Trust's financial statements (which were prepared in
conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting) for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 contained no adverse opinions or
disclaimers of opinions and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the
subsequent interim period through April 21, 2021, there were no (i)
disagreements between the Trust and PwC on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have
caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in
PwC's reports on the Trust's financial statements for such years and (ii)
"reportable events" as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

The Trust provided PwC with a copy of the forgoing disclosure in this Current
Report on Form 8-K (this "Report") prior to this time the Report was filed with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Trust
requested that PwC furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not
PwC agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of PwC's letter, dated April
27, 2021, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



On and effective as of April 21, 2021, the Trust engaged Grant Thornton LLP
("GT") as its new independent registered public accounting firm. Tapstone Energy
LLC recommended and consented to the decisions to dismiss PwC and engage GT. On
April 21, 2021, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the trustee of
the Trust, approved GT as the Trust's independent registered public accounting
firm for the year ending December 31, 2021, subject to GT's customary client
acceptance procedures. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and
December 31, 2019 and the subsequent interim period through April 21, 2021,
respectively, neither the Trust nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted
with GT with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a
specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Trust's financial statements, and no
written report or oral advice was provided to the Trust by GT that GT concluded
was an important factor considered by the Trust in reaching a decision as to the
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was
either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is described in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and the related
instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, or a
reportable event, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K under the Exchange Act.
