Thanks, Jamie, and good morning and afternoon to everyone. Thank you for joining us today for our fourth quarter and full-year 2022 results call. As I normally do with our full-year results, I'll start today's presentation by taking a step back to talk about our strategy and how the solid progress we've made in 2022 has supported the delivery of that strategy. We'll then focus on 2023 an important year of inflection for the company.

Turning to slide three, which looks at Kosmos' role in helping address the world's energy challenges. The world is grappling with a need for affordable, secure, and cleaner energy with a balanced approach require to address the three dimensions of this energy trilemma. Kosmos has the right strategy and portfolio at the right time to be part of the solution. We have an oil-weighted portfolio that could supply more of the energy the world needs today. We're investing in growing oil supply in each of our core production hubs with an emphasis on high-graded projects that yield low cost, lower carbon barrels that are highly cash generative.
