This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 8”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-2(a), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware (“the Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 410 17th Street, Suite 1400, Denver, Colorado 80202.  This Amendment No. 8 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 19, 2017 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on November 29, 2017, Amendment No. 2, filed with the SEC on May 17, 2018, Amendment No. 3, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2018, Amendment No. 4, filed with the SEC on August 20, 2018, Amendment No. 5, filed with the SEC on September 6, 2018, Amendment No. 6, filed with the SEC on November 21, 2019, and Amendment No. 7, filed with the SEC on December 14, 2020  (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”).

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 8 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 8 shall have the meanings given them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 20,834,427 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q with the SEC on November 6, 2020.

As of December 17, 2020, the Master Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 1,343,678 Shares (approximately 6.4% of the total number of Shares outstanding). By virtue of their respective relationships with the Master Fund as discussed in further detail in Item 2 to Amendment No. 2, Mangrove Partners and Mr. August may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Shares owned directly by the Master Fund.

Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.

(b) Each of the Master Fund, Mangrove Partners and Mr. August has shared voting and dispositive power over the 1,343,678 Shares owned directly by the Master Fund.

(c) During the past sixty days, the following transactions were effected by the Master Fund in the Shares.  All of these transactions were effected in the open-market through a broker:
