Thanks, Brian, and good morning, everyone. Q3 was a strong quarter for BATEX. We delivered record production in the Pembina Duvernay, generated robust free cash flow supported by the strength and reliability of our Canadian heavy oil and U.S. Eagleford operations. and made further progress on debt reduction. Hemina DuVernay set a new quarterly production record, averaging just over 10,000 VOE per day, driven by strong well performance from the third path we brought on stream in September. We also completed a land swap to consolidate our southern DuVernay acreage and commission new gathering and midstream infrastructure with Gibson Energy, both of which will support more efficient development as we scale up. Our heavy oil and Eagleford assets continued to deliver steady volumes and strong cash flow. Heavy oil production grew 5% quarter over quarter, while volumes in Eagleford were up 3%. Commodity prices remained soft in the third quarter, with WTI averaging approximately US $65 per barrel. But our strong operational execution and cost discipline enabled us to generate $143 million in free cash flow and reduce net debt to $2.2 billion. With that, I'll turn the call over to Chad Kalmakoff to discuss our financial results.
