Thank you, Robert. Dellec Logistics Partners had another record quarter. We reported approximately $117 million in quarterly adjusted EBITDA, facing DKL on track to deliver on its full-year EBITDA guidance of $480 to $520 million. After transformational 2024, Delac Logistics continues to make substantial progress in improving its position as the premier full-service crude, natural gas, and water provider in the most prolific area of the Permian Basin. As we have communicated in the past, we are in a process of increasing our economic separation from decay. This week, we announced intercompany transactions which further increase this economic separation, bringing third-party contribution to our cash flow from 70% to around 80% on a pro forma basis. This intercompany transaction, along with our acquisition of H2O and Gravity, significantly enhance our competitive position in the Midland Basin. In the Delaware Basin, we are in the commissioning phase of the new Libby plant expansion, and we expect to fill the plant to capacity in the second half of 2025. We are also making progress on acid gas injection and sour gas handling capabilities in the Libby complex. We expect to start spotting our AGI gas well shortly. AGI wells and sour gas treating capabilities enhance our competitive position in the Delaware basin and will provide good runway of growth for DELEC logistics in the future. Despite the near-term volatility in crude prices, we like our competitive position in the Delaware basin, which we believe will continue to grow. As the Delaware basin grows, we will continue to grow the partnership to prudent management of leverage and coverage. I'm also pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has approved a 49 consecutive increase in the quarterly distribution to $1.11 per unit. To conclude, we are very excited about the prospects of direct logistics. We expect to continue our value creation path moving forward and will continue to grow our distribution in the future. I will now hand it over to Ruben, who will provide more details on our operations.
