Thank you, Jim. Amplify continued its strong performance in the third quarter of 2024. the company generated $25.5 million of adjusted EBITDA and $3.6 million of free cash flow during the quarter, both in line with expectations. As previewed in our last earnings call, we continue to evaluate several proposals regarding the monetization of our Wyoming assets in the third quarter. While we have been encouraged by the interest received in these assets, volatility in crude prices has affected the valuation process with potential buyers. At this time, we believe that retaining ownership of the assets and continuing to benefit from the asset cash flows maximize value for our shareholders. While we are unlikely to transact in the near term, we remain open to a potential transaction if it is in the best interest of shareholders. At Beta, we continue to make progress in our 2024 development program. Dan will provide more details in a moment, but we are pleased to announce that we successfully drilled and brought online the C59 well in early October with strong results. With the results of the A50 and C59 wells exceeding initial projections and the C48 expected to come online in mid-November, we intend to include a number of additional development locations into our approved reserves at year-end 2024. We are also refining our development program schedule and expect to have an updated plan with additional details in the first quarter of 2025. Yesterday, Amplify issued its second annual sustainability report, which provides additional disclosures to our stakeholders regarding our business and operating practices. In the report, we discussed the significant progress we have made in the past year, including a substantial reduction in scope one emissions and methane intensity. The report also details our safety procedures, environmental performance, efforts to enhance the long-term sustainability of our business, and dedication to sound corporate governance. I highly encourage our stakeholders to read the report, which can be found under the sustainability section of our website, amplifyenergy.com. We remain committed to continuing to improve our disclosures and to providing updates on our sustainability milestones. In summary, we continue to be excited about our development program in beta, which has the potential to deliver outstanding returns on investment, significant incremental free cash flow, and materially improve the value of our beta reserves. Combining this organic development with the additional non-operated investment opportunities in East Texas and Eagleford, continuing focus on LOE optimization initiatives will help realize the full potential of Amplify's diverse portfolio of assets and deliver substantial benefits and long-term value to our shareholders. With that, I'll hand it over to Dan.
