Thank you, Chris. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining our call. Also with me is Matt Liuzzi, our CFO. As usual, today, I'll first briefly cover the operational results for the first quarter, which was a solid start to the year. But given the ever-changing world in which we find ourselves, especially within the energy industry, I plan to spend more of my time talking about the current state of the market and where we see our business going for the remainder of the year.

So to give you a glimpse, I think the tailwinds that we've cautiously talked about over the last few quarters have finally arrived and begun to blow in earnest. We have a very supportive macro environment, under guarded by tight supply/demand dynamics and a growing need for natural gas, leading to attractive commodity pricing.
