Good morning! Thank you for joining us. Our second quarter results highlight our execution across the business and demonstrate that our strategy continues to generate superior returns. We are focused on both, the returns on the capital we are investing in our business, and the cash we are returning to our shareholders.

Our results reflect our unique combination of strengths, our innovative culture, our relentless focus on capital efficiency, our top tier assets, and our disciplined capital allocation. That combination of innovation and discipline is showing up in our numbers, as we make sure higher prices flow through to higher returns.
