Good morning and thank you everyone for joining Greenfire Resources's Q3 2025 conference call. On this morning's call, there are three topics I would like to discuss before opening up the call to questions from our analysts. First, I will provide an overview of Greenfire Resources' recapitalization plan. Second, I will provide an update on Greenfire's current year operations. And third, I'll provide a progress update on our longer term development plans. As we have previously communicated with our stakeholders, it's no secret that we believe the business today has too much leverage, in part due to the current oil price outlook, but more importantly due to the significant amount of growth capital that needs to be invested to optimize the assets at current strip pricing. Greenfire's heavy growth capital focused long range plan means Greenfire is poised to materially outspend cash flow over the next two to three years, increasing our debt balance further. Accordingly, we have determined that a refinancing transaction which results in not only a change in the structure of Greenfire's debt, but but also an absolute debt reduction of the business is a critical first step to embarking on our organic growth business plan to fill the plant capacity at the hanging stone facilities. With that background, I'm very excited to announce a transformational recapitalization plan for Greenfire in which we intend to fully repay all of our outstanding senior secured notes via a combination of cash on our balance sheet and a $300 million equity rights offering which will be fully backstocked by Watrous Energy Fund. A rates offering is an equity capital raise offered to Greenfire Resources' existing shareholders whereby each Greenfire shareholder has the opportunity to subscribe for their pro rata share of the offering, in turn giving all shareholders an equal opportunity to participate and avoid being diluted. In the event any shareholders elect not to take up their pro rata share of the offering, Watrous Energy Fund, serving as the backstop for the transaction, will purchase those unallocated shares to ensure the desired $300 million capital raise is met. In addition, we are also excited to announce that we have secured commitments for an upsized $275 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of Canadian banks. This credit facility is a conventional reserve based loan with a two year term and will have a cost of capital that is approximately 1/2 of the notes we will be redeeming at closing of this recapitalization plan. This credit facility is anticipated to be undrawn and Greenfire Resources is expected to be debt free with regards to the current operations. First and foremost, following strong base well performance at the hanging stone facilities, we expect to hit the top end of our 2025 production guidance range which is 15 to 16,000 barrels a day. We also reaffirm our 2025 capital guidance target of $130 million. Next, I would like to provide an update on Greenfire Resources's two primary operational challenges in 2025, those being the previously disclosed boiler outage and sulfur emission exceedances. With regards to the boiler outage, GreenFire has successfully restored the failed boiler at the expansion asset ahead of schedule, but has elected to proactively refurbish a second boiler for precautionary purposes. Consequently, we expect to return to full steam capacity at the expansion asset by year end 2025. With regards to Greenfire Resources sulfur emission exceedances, the company continues to engage with the Alberta Energy Regulator and we have commenced the installation of sulfur removal facilities at the expansion asset. We expect these sulfur removal facilities will be operational in November 2025, which we anticipate will restore full compliance with emission standards. And finally, I'd like to touch on Greenfire Resources's 2026 business plan. Greenfire Resources's Board of Directors has approved a 2026 capital budget of $180 million with anticipated annual Bitumen production of 15,500 to 16,500 barrels per day. Big picture. Despite our expectation that the expansion asset will resume at full steam capacity at year end 2025 we anticipate production levels to nonetheless be relatively flat in 2026, primarily due to two reasons. One all of the growth capital projects at the expansion asset are not expected to reach first oil until late Q4 2026 and 2 Greenfire has a planned major turnaround at the expansion asset in May 2026, resulting in a full plant outage for that month. With regards to the specific growth capital projects, as has been previously disclosed, Greenfire anticipates commencing drilling operations at its inaugural SAGD pad, Pad 7 in November 2025. Pad 7 comprises 13 well pairs, with first oil anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026. In addition to Pad 7, Greenfire plans to drill new wells at the expansion asset in 2026, including three infill wells and three well pairs from an existing SAGD pad. Although first oil from these wells is not expected until 2027 at the Demo asset in the fourth quarter of 2025, GreenFire intends to pursue redevelopment opportunities at two existing shut in well pairs originally drilled up in 2010, with associated incremental production coming online in the first half of 2026. Beyond this redevelopment program, Greenfire's primary focus at the Demo asset remains on base production optimization to sustain current production rates. This concludes our planned remarks for the Q3 conference call and we will now open it up to questions.
