Thank you, Andrew. Good morning, and thank you for participating in our 2025 Third Quarter Conference Call. Joining me today are Andrew Williamson, our CFO, and Henry Clanton, our COO. We will be available to answer questions later in the call. This was a big quarter for the company. The announcement of the transactions in the Powder River Basin is a major strategic milestone that positions the company for success and outperformance over both the medium and long term. Before I discuss the deal, I'd like to offer some comments on the quarter results. In the Permian, we participated in the drilling and completion of the eighth well in our project. The well commenced production late in the quarter and the asset continues to perform well. Since inception, a little over two years ago, we've invested approximately $42 million in our Texas asset, which has generated more than $18 million in operating cash flow through quarter end. Looking ahead, we expect Permian drilling activity to resume in the first quarter of next year. Turning to the Marcellus, shoulder season inventory builds drove sub $2 net gas pricing in the back half of the quarter, which resulted in some operator-elected production curtailments during the quarter. However, a colder start to November has strengthened pricing and allowed for a staged return of these volumes. We are actively engaged with the operator regarding forward investment plans. At this time, we do not anticipate any material investments in the first half of 2026. We'll provide updates when second half 2026 plans firm up next year. On the transaction, to summarize what we announced in August, we executed definitive agreements to acquire the peak companies with operated assets in the Powder River Basin. The transaction includes the issuance of up to 8.5 million Epsilon shares and is subject to shareholder approval at the meeting scheduled for November 12th. Due diligence and integration planning have progressed as expected and we anticipate closing shortly after the shareholder vote. Based on recent BLM approvals, we expect the 2.5 million share contingent consideration to be paid at or near closing. A really nice positive surprise that will allow us to begin planning on what we believe to be the best inventory in the combined company portfolio. The acquisition adds an experienced operating team, oil-weighted production, and a significant inventory of economic locations across multiple benches. Our initial focus will be on production optimization and the highly economic conventional Parkman inventory. The pro forma company sits well positioned to capitalize on an oil price recovery. In addition, we expect investment in our Marcellus position to increase meaningfully over the next several years as our operator shifts their focus towards the Auburn area, which we estimate still holds over 15 gross undrilled locations. It has taken us several years to reposition the company. but I am happy to report that post-close, our diversified drilling inventory, coupled with our fee-based cash flows from the Auburn midstream system, leave us in a position to opportunistically increase investment and cash flows while continuing our track record of shareholder returns. In 2026, our focus will be on integration and execution, setting us up for truly transformational results in 2027 under the right market conditions. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Andrew.
