Thank you, Nick, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. With me on today's call is Gary Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. As I'm sure you're all aware, we released our second quarter 2025 results this morning. and we're very pleased with what we've achieved this quarter, which continues to build on our last few years' results in multiple ways. Production from the field has been going very well, with our second quarter over 3,200 DOE a day, in spite of us temporarily shutting in about 540 DOE per day of wells for the Lobina well completions. Our operating expenses remain low, with just over $7, that's $7.15 of DOE, We increased our line of credit, which we have with our banking syndicate, Lead High Bank of Oklahoma. Further in the field, we have brought on the four Levina wells that have shown a very high well percentage and are still cleaning up for action simulations later. And we'll be testing the Fortison well over the coming weeks. And we're spotting two new wells, the Barnes 6-31-2H and 3H. So basically, it's both geared ahead with operations. Things are going very well, and we're looking forward to increasing our production further this year.

Now, with that, I'll turn the call over to Gary to discuss our financial results.

Thanks, Wolf, and thanks, everyone, for joining the call. I'm going to go over a few highlights of the second quarter and your state results, and then we can take questions at the end of the call. All amounts are in U.S. dollars and otherwise stated. I'll start by going over the second quarter results. Average production was up 3% to 3,220 BOE per day compared to 3,128 in the prior year quarter. The increase is due to production from the wells that were filled that completed in the last six months of 2024. The increase was partially offset by several wells that were shut in during Novena completion operations, which temporarily reduced production in the quarter by 540 BOE per day. All these wells are now back on production, although some of them are now dewatering. Net revenue decreased 22% to $10.8 million compared to the prior quarter due to a 24% decrease in average prices and lower oil production from the shut-in wells. DNA expense decreased by 9% during the quarter to $1.4 million due to lower counting and auditing fees compared to the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.7 million compared to $10 million in the prior year quarter, which was a decrease of 23% due to lower prices. Net income was $2.9 million and basic EPS was $0.08 per share in the second quarter of 25 compared to $4.1 million or $0.11 per basic share in the prior year second quarter. The decrease was due to low revenue in the quarter. Our net back from operations decreased to $29.66 per BOE compared to $40.40 in the prior quarter. This was due to lower average prices for the quarter, which were partially offset by lower operating expenses for BOE due to adjustment troupes in the prior quarter and lower water hauling costs. Moving on to the year-to-date June results. Average production for the year to date June was up 13% to 3,646 fuel per day compared to 3,216 in the prior year period. The increase was due to production from the wells that were drilled during the last six months of last year and again this was partially upset by production lost from the seven wells during the quarter. Net revenue decreased slightly by 3% to $27.2 million compared to $28.1 million due to a 14% decrease in average prices partially offset by the increase in production. Net income was $8.6 million and basic EPS was $0.24 per share compared to $7.4 million and $0.21 per basic share in the prior year period. The increase was due to lower operating and interest expense and realized and unrealized gains on our commodity contracts in 2025 partially offset by the lower revenues. Adjusted EBITDA was $20.5 million compared to $20.4 million in the prior quarter, as lower operating expenses and lower real-life losses on commodity contracts were offset by the lower revenues. Net vacuum operations decreased 14% to $34.05 per BOE compared to $39.66 in the prior year period. This was due to lower average prices, partially offset by low operating expenses per BLE. And I also wanted to add, as Wolf mentioned, that our credit facility was redetermined in the second quarter, and our borrowing base was increased by 30% from $50 million to $65 million. The continuing increase in our borrowing base gives us more flexibility in managing our working capital going forward, and also demonstrates the growing value of the field. And as we discussed in the earnings release, we will have nine new wells that will start production in the second half of the year. We anticipate significant increases in both production and cash flow in the last two quarters of the year.

And with that, I'll hand it back to Wolf. Thanks, Gary.

As Gary laid out, we had a solid second quarter. And while oil prices were lower during the quarter, we've still performed very well and looking to continue the success we've had over the last few years. The company has had quite the growth, and with the activity going on, we're looking to continue that. As Jerry said, bringing on nine wells in the second half of the year is expected to make a big impact on our cash flow, especially since the last wells we brought on were in December of 2024. In addition, we're intending to continue returning capital to shareholders in the form of share buybacks. where just in the month of July we purchased about 130,000 shares. Overall, our plan is to continue to execute and build and grow company value for all shareholders, and we'll continue to get the word out about the company to shareholders and potential shareholders, as we have a number of conferences and presentations that we'll be making later on this year still. This concludes the formal part of our presentation.

We would be pleased to answer any questions you now may have. We'll now begin the question and answer session.

Again, to ask a question, let me press star, then 1 on your touch-tone phone. If you are using a speaker phone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star, then 2. At this time, we'll pause momentarily to assemble our roster.

And your first question today will come from Steve Farazani with Sudoti.

Please go ahead.

Good afternoon, Wolf, Gary. I appreciate you taking the questions today. Wolf, given the timing of the Levina wells coming online and now the expectations with those two more wells and the completion scheduled, any thoughts on the original production guidance you provided for this year? Should we be retaking that at all?

Not so far. I mean, we'll monitor that. If we see something that changes our guidance, then, you know, outside of the range, then we'll definitely put that out. But let's see how these wells clean up and how they come along. And then those are price dependent, right?

Of course. Speaking to that, given the oil price environment and given where your share price is right now, Was there any thoughts in altering your term, your capital allocation plans, slow down at least the completions maybe, and focus on the buyback?

You know, right now we're still going forward where we are. You know, when we look at what our economics are on these wells, based on the type curves that Neville and Sewell put together, they look like they're going to make us good money even in the, you know, $60 well price range. I obviously like the prices would be higher, we would make more money on it. But right for now, yeah, we would rule it. But like you said, we always have the option if prices suddenly drop and then not, then we can delay the completions if we need to. But at this point, we're not anticipating that. I think we can make good money at these prices. And so at this stage, we're looking to go ahead and complete those just on schedule.

Great. In terms of the LaVena wells, I think in the operations release, you noted that the higher liquid content. Were you surprised by that? Does that shift at all where you might drill next or how you completed them? If you could just add a little bit of context around that.

Yeah, sure. No, I mean, the offset wells were a little higher as well. These were a little bit higher than even the offset wells. But this part of the field, had a little lower of a gas-to-oil ratio in general. It was lower as we just offloaded these offset wells a little bit than we anticipated, but it wasn't that far off. And so, yeah, it's encouraging that it's way it worked out, kind of like it was originally, and a little bit better, actually. So we have high hopes for running the tubing in and just having a stabilized sphere or higher rates, and then hopefully having really low declines because we don't have any gas that's just going to blow off.

Right. Right, right. Okay. Any thoughts? I know it's probably way too early on the Ferguson well and how you're thinking about the east side acreage.

Yeah, no, just way too early. So it's still the same range. Everything, we drove them in the right spot. Everything went to completion, got all stages off. and everything went fine on the completion part of things. And so we got effective simulation. So now it's in Mother Nature's hands as far as the flowback goes and what kind of rates we get out of it.

Great. Okay. Thank you.

All right. Thank you. Thanks, Steve. Appreciate it. Again, if you have a question, please press star and then 1. Please stand by as we poll for questions. Seeing no further questions, this will conclude our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Mr. Wolf-Regner for any closing remarks. Thank you, Nick. And just thank you, everyone, for joining the call.

Appreciate it. Appreciate your continued support as shareholders and maybe even some new shareholders this year to understand the company a little bit better.

But thank you and hope everyone has a great day. Take care. The conference is now concluded. you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
