Good morning and welcome to Petrus Resources Q3 2024 Conference Call. My name is Ken Gray, and I'm the CEO of Petrus. I'm joined here by our executive team of Mathew Wong, our CFO, Matt Skanderup, our COO, and Lindsay Hatcher, VP, Commercial and Corporate Development. The main thing to note in Q3 was that cash flow was up just slightly over Q2 despite record-low gas prices. Hedging and increased oil production contributed to the increased cash flow. Production was down slightly due to maintenance in September at a third-party gas processing plant. We were able to mitigate the lost production somewhat and generate increased third-party processing fees during this period to somewhat offset the lost production. We also continued to pay our regular dividend during that quarter. We resumed drilling in September and have completed drilling two joint interest wells. Completions are scheduled for later in November.
