Thanks, Danielle. Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us today. This morning I’m very pleased to share our progress towards the strategic repositioning of our company and on our improving balance sheet. In 2013, we continued with our transition with the Mid-Continent where we have proven we can provide more consistent results in our drilling programs. We started with that transition in 2012 with our entry in the Mississippian Lime play and complemented with our expansion into the prolific Anadarko Basin in May 2013. This strategy has provided very positive results to date. As we have stated, we’re committed to improving our liquidity and more please to announce several actions that make solid progress on that improvement. The sale of our Pine Prairie asset were $170 million combined with the revise borrowing base supported solely by our growing Mid-Continent position, we’ll provide all necessary funding needs to at least year-end 2015. We continued to work on additional options that will further enhance our financial flexibility. The sale includes only the developed and undeveloped acreage in the Pine Prairie area, which was producing approximate 2,000 barrels per day in January. The sale does not include our acreage and production of around 2400 barrels a day in the Dequincy area or our acreage associated with the Fleetwood 3D survey. Meanwhile, the strong growth in production reserves in our Mid-Continent portfolio will allow us to retain virtually all of our revolver credit capacity even after removing all of our Gulf Coast assets. Nelson Haight will go into more detail related to our credit facility changes in his comments later. These are significant steps in our broader plan to improve financial flexibility and focus our people and our capital into the highest return projects. We are growing the company primarily with our…

Thanks John, for the kind words. I am pleased to be a part of the senior management team here at Midstates and look forward to ongoing communication with our shareholders, debt holders and analysts. I hope to meet many of you in person over the coming months. Let me we begin with the steps we have taken to strengthen the company’s overall financial position and further address funding plans for the balance of 2014 and through 2015. As John discussed, we recently signed a sale agreement with the Pine Prairie portion of our Gulf Coast properties for $170 million, before customary post-closing adjustments. The transaction equates to a price of roughly $80,000 per flowing Boe and based upon our projected 2014 net cash flow for these assets, should improve our leverage ratio this year. We are on target and fully expect to close the transaction and receive the proceeds in early May, all of which will be used immediately pay down a portion of our credit facility. Concurrent with negotiating that agreement, we worked closely with our lead commercial banks and received their commitment for a revolving credit facility that will carve out all of our Gulf Coast assets and have an initial borrowing base of $475 million. And you will recall our current borrowing base was $500 million and includes the Gulf Coast assets. The $475 million borrowing base under our new commitment was made possible by the strong growth in production and reserves that we achieved in our Mid-Continent properties last year. Our next regular redetermination date is October 1, 2014. We also arranged a separate $125 million temporary bridge facility that will be secured by those carved out Gulf Coast assets. This facility was put into place in the event we experienced a significant delay in closing…

Thanks, Nelson. As you heard today we had a very busy fourth quarter and an equally active first quarter as well underway, as evidenced by our growing production and decreasing cost. Our decision last year, to deemphasize the Gulf Coast and focus our resources on the less costly and more predictable Mid-continent properties is proving to be the right move. The sale of Pine Prairie and our amended revolver structure will now provide us with the financial flexibility to execute on our 2014 and 2015 plans without further need for capital raises. We will continue to look for opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet, but feel comfortable that we have the time to do so when it is right. Our growing adjusted EBITDA which as Nelson indicated is expected to top $500 million this year, is a testament to our team’s ability to quickly build scale with growing production and lower costs. I am confident that we have the right team and the right portfolio to continue to build that scale. We look forward to further demonstrating that you over the coming months. And with that Danielle, we are now ready to take questions.

Thanks, John. Participants, please limit your questions to one initial question and one follow-on question. Connie, we are ready to take questions.

(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from the line of Neal Dingmann with SunTrust. Neal D. Dingmann – SunTrust Robinson Humphrey: Good morning guys, great news today. John can you talk a little bit about your open hole pilot program in the Mississippian point you have – you certainly had some success there. I was wondering and trying to get an idea of what the rate there and incorporate that into other rates and just kind to give thoughts on the activity of that going forward?

Yes, Neal. We felt like we needed to experiment a little bit when we are working with the Mississippian Lime. We feel like a lot of the process that had happened there were just basically to take costs from other kind of resource plays. So what we found is that in the area we are in which happens to be I think we were just fortunate enough to end up with some of the best rock in all of the Mississippian, we find that we've got some areas where we have very good permeability and maybe from natural fracturing and certainly some from just the rock itself. So we wanted to test what we would be able to do with open hole completions, so we have some kind of a marker on how that compares with full stimulations. So we did do a number of wells, actually a large number of wells there to get a feel for that and so I guess we had a whole range of experiences there, all the way from pretty poor performance, which clearly says, we need to get out and stimulate those individual wells to some very good performance out of some areas where we had natural permeability and porosity. So I think what we have learned is that number one, we are hoping that between that and the 3D seismic we have, we can pick some areas that probably should not be stimulated any further because they just bring on more water, and we picked out some areas that we clearly know we are going to be stimulating. For the first half of this year as you should expect us to stimulate virtually every well as we will be concentrating in an area that we know pretty well now in the heart of our acreage position. Neal D. Dingmann – SunTrust Robinson Humphrey: Can I have just one follow-up John, could you comment a little bit on Cottage Grove and the Anadarko Basin? You thought is that you obviously held result there your thoughts on the follow-up there and the activity for the rest of the year? Thank you.

Yes, we are actually pretty excited about the Cottage Grove. Our team is really just getting their arms around that. I told you about that one – where we actually have had several that we liked pretty well. We have had some questionable results on a couple too, but we think we now understand the reason for that. And so a combination of just working the rocks a little harder is going to help us pick the right locations for future Cottage Grove opportunities. We've got a lot of acreage that is potential for that in Oklahoma, so we're looking forward to just working that a little harder.

Your next question comes from the line of John Herlin with Société Générale. John Herlin – Société Générale: Yes. Hi, can you hear me?

Yes, say that in France, John. John Herlin – Société Générale: Not a chance. Anyway, with Louisiana, are you going to open a data room, look for partners in terms of Fleetwood and Quincy?

Yes, John, we’re already in that process and we’ve had ongoing discussions with several different parties on both of those areas, and that process will continue. Greg Hubert is kind of leading the Fleetwood, finding the right partner and putting an opportunity together, and Curtis is handling the Dequincy operation. John Herlin – Société Générale: Are you looking for a heads-up thing to promote or?

Now, we are always looking for promote. John Herlin – Société Générale: Okay, all right. Getting back to the Mississippi, on the seismic you will be able to see kind of the better porosity and permeabilities on that you feel pretty good about that?

Well, the guys would tell us that we can see some. Primarily we can see structures and we can see fractures and we can see that kind of thing, which certainly helps us. As far as seeing just the more porous intervals within a given area, that’s a little more difficult to do. But we’ve had great results of using that 3D and it has helped us identify why some of our earnings wells were really good. We are doing additional processing on those seismic volumes to kind of refine our interpretations.

Your next question comes from the line of Brad Carpenter with Wells Fargo.

Good morning, Brad. Brad D. Carpenter – Wells Fargo Securities LLC: Hi, good morning and congrats on the PSA. John, I’m just curious looking at your Mid-Con assets and portfolio management and a bigger picture, are you guys still looking at potentially going down the JV route for some of your Anadarko or Miss Lime properties? Just hoping you could lay out some expectations for us on those?

Yes, Brad, I think we’ve told you guys all along that had we have the perfect situation we probably wouldn't have made as big acquisitions as we have made there and take on that much debt. So we would look favorably on joint venture on some of the Mid-Continent assets. But, that said we feel like we’ve got to the point where we don't have any real pressure to do that. So, the right opportunity came along with the right partner. We would still to be very interested in doing something that way. Brad D. Carpenter – Wells Fargo Securities LLC: Okay, great. Thank you. And then, on the Anadarko specifically, I know some of your peers are looking into new completion techniques, and John you had some prepared remarks, I believe those were pertaining to the [indiscernible] But, are you guys looking into any new completion techniques in the Anadarko, such as closer proved spacing or any longer laterals?

We’re trying to maximize laterals. We have on our individual wells, we’re pretty much limited by section size in Oklahoma and gradually working on what we could do in the Texas side. On completion I think just generally you’ll see us gradually moving the number of individual stimulations out to a number over 20 as time goes along. I don't know that we’re prepared to kind of move up to those very significant numbers that you’ve seen out of some of the other operators we’ll be watching very closely and if we feel like they are on to something we’ll be happy to copy.

Your next question comes from the line of [indiscernible].

Good morning, Ron.

Good morning John. On the Miss Lime you touched very briefly on obviously you’ve got great success on your core development, but you talked about other zones. Any additional color there in terms of gesture or in different numbers of the Miss Lime and what your plans are to test that this year?

Yes, I guess first of all we’re obviously watching what some of the other operators are doing. We’ve made this our focus this year, last year and this year to actually get the cash flow up. So, we’re kind of sticking to our knitting and making sure we’re having good wells that don't leave us a lot of time for doing what I would call closer to expiration. That said, we do have people looking at all of those intervals and as a general rule, we would expect potential gesture on the west side of our acreage probably not the whole way across it, and on the Woodford we still haven’t gotten ourselves to the plant where we are ready to drill a well, but we certainly have – of course with Woodford oil in the kind of the heart of our play. So, the other thing we’re doing and really concentrating on more is on trying to establish what we can get out of the Miss itself. So, as you know most of our wells have been in what we would call that first porosity interval within the massive Mississippian. And so watching other operators and seeing talk about the second and third Miss, we will be doing some work in that, and then we are pretty heavily into thinking about downspacing aspects of this play and indeed, some of the work we did with the open holes was to kind of set up that kind of a thought process. So we actually have some multilateral underway as we speak, which would end up with spacing more in the range of 660 feet between wells. And that will be a good – I guess a good data point for us understanding with the downspacing potential on our acreage is.

Great. And then on just one more on the Anadarko Basin, obviously The focus remains on the Cleveland and I assume it's a similar discussion in terms of, focused on growing the production and cash flow as you look to evaluate the other zones. But in terms of relative economics on the numbers that you have provided from the Cottage Grove and the Tonkawa and the Marmaton to-date, how would you – how would you full shrink those when you look at those kind of results versus cost and what you think the secondary target might be after the Cleveland?

Well, I don't know that we have decided among those three, but one of those three we would say is our secondary target. I've got to say the guys in Tulsa have been writing a lot about what they think they can do with the Cottage Grove. But the Tonkawa is kind of fooling us a little bit. We got one well that came on in what guys October of last year, produced 100% water for something like six or eight weeks, and make me tell – here I was telling just relax it will come around and sure enough it has come around and it has continued to increase in making about 180 barrels a day today. So we think we are a long way from understanding that Tonkawa play and certainly the Marmaton is coming on strong with other operators in there. And so we’ve had some good results and again some questionable, so we just have more to learn. Remember, most of this acquisition we made was paid for with Cleveland, so as far as we’re concerned, some real improvement in any one of those formations can really change that into an incredible acquisition.

Your next question comes from the line of Jeb Bachmann with Howard Weil. Jeb E. Bachmann – Howard Weil, Inc.: Good morning, guys. Just a question on the 2,400 barrels a day in Louisiana. John, just looking at the metrics from the Pine Prairie deal, just wondering obviously you guys pin a number on those 2,400 barrels, so just wondering considering it is horizontal maybe a little more – a little higher risk. Are you expecting may be a little bit less versus the Pine Prairie or are you still looking for somewhere in that range, value wise?

Yes, we would be – we would be looking for something in that value range. But we do have to recognize the wells are more expensive to drill. There is a little more risk associated with it, and certainly we don't have the number of spuds that we would have had in Pine Prairie. Jeb E. Bachmann – Howard Weil, Inc.: Okay. And then can you just remind us on the Tonkawa, with the product mixes with one of those wells?

Somebody is going to have to help me with that one. We may have to get back with you there. Let me get with you on the Tonkawa itself. Jeb E. Bachmann – Howard Weil, Inc.: Okay great….

After this call. Jeb E. Bachmann – Howard Weil, Inc.: Thanks John.

Hey, just one more thing job, somebody some you note the latest Tonkawa is making 900 barrels of oil and 1.5 million meters of gas. That does not breakout the NGLs, but that’s obviously an early on that fast as I was about. Next question.

Okay. Your next question comes from the line of [indiscernible].

Hi good morning, thanks for taking my question. I was wondering on the Mississippian Lime could you talk about what you – the reserve are baking in for spud wells there?

I guess we are still working with – I'm going to turn this over to Curtis to handle that.

Yes, in the report that regenerated a year end we have the area broken down into the core areas and then some outlying areas and generally speaking it very similar to what we carried last year the bulk of the spuds there are going to be in the 400 to 250 MMboe range in our reserve report on a gross basis. And then of course it varies as you get outside the core that that's a good rule of thumb because that's where the majority of our spuds are.

Okay great and then just one more question. In the press release you are highlighted you feel pretty comfortable about all of your funding needs will be met through the end of 2015 and perhaps beyond. So I was wondering, what is the implication there on capital spending levels for 2015 relative to 2014? How should we think about that?

Obviously it is a little early for setting capital, but I think you can assume that we’ve assume similar capital spending for 2015, when we do our modeling.

Your next question comes from the line of Chad Mabry with MLV & Company.

Hi, Chad. Chad L. Mabry – MLV & Co. LLC: Thanks, good morning. Follow-up on the open hole pilot program, you alluded to some tensile low cost savings there. How would that compare to kind of $3.5 million that you’re modeling right now?

To be perfectly straight, when we go back and complete the well after having tested it as an open hole, we probably add $200 million or $300 million for the cost because obviously we are entering the well twice. But, on the wells that we don’t complete obviously we are saving the cost of a frac job, which is typically in that $1.2 million to $1.5 million. Chad L. Mabry – MLV & Co. LLC: Okay, that’s helpful. And I guess the follow-up if I could on just kind of looking through your updated acreage numbers looks like you have lost a few thousand acres there in [indiscernible]. Is it fair to assume that this is kind of more fringe expiration acreage to your core position?

But I told lot of people is you can assume that we were not going to loose any acreage we like. So, anything you see disappearing we’ve kind of make the decision that doesn’t really fit with your plans going forward.

Your next question comes from the line of Kyle Rhodes with RBC.

Hello, Kyle Kyle Rhodes – RBC Capital Markets LLC: Hi, John. Just wanted, if you can maybe quantify the 30 wells kind of in your open hole pilot program how many those you are going to back and complete?

I think we’ve done a schedule 23 of them – 21 of them right now. Kyle Rhodes – RBC Capital Markets LLC: Okay, great. And then just one housekeeping item for me, what was the year of pre- reserves associated with Pine Prairie?

Several people have asked us that and we are really not comfortable given out the numbers on individuals, because we are still in the middle of the marketing operations. But I will tell you that our 10-K is going to tell you that some reserves for Louisiana are now $23 million barrels with the net present value of just under $500 million on crude basis only. I want to may add a comment there, obviously as we talked about we took a significant write-down on reserves in Louisiana. And what I will say is not likely believe those reserves disappeared we think there is still there. And this is a matter of getting the economics right to go after.

Your next question comes from the line of Stephen Shepherd of Simmons & Company. Stephen P. Shepherd – Simmons & Co. International: Yes, in your presentation you all talk about having about 700 locations left in the Anadarko Basin. I was just wondering if you could give a location comfort what you have left in the mix right now.

Maybe help me here. Probably still in the range of 400, but the issue for us, the issue for us now is how much in filling we can do as wall as how many of the areas can we actually take to four wells per seconds instead of just three wells per second. Yes, so that’s raises a story. Stephen P. Shepherd – Simmons & Co. International: Okay, and my follow-up, can you disclose what your current net production is in the Anadarko and Mississippian Lime regions?

Well, let say. The numbers yesterday for the Company as a whole was 30,950 of which about 4,000 and that was in the Gulf Coast. So there we go. Somebody is handing me the notes here as we go. So we are at 20,269.

Your next question comes from the line of Sean Sneeden with Oppenheimer.

Good morning, Sean. Sean Sneeden – Oppenheimer & Co.: Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking the question. Nelson, for you I guess, can you talk about – on your pro forma asset base, how do you guys think about cash neutrality? Does this Pine Prairie sale move that out at all or is that more of a 2016 event for instance?

Right, so Sean you are referring to just the self funding. Sean Sneeden – Oppenheimer & Co.: Right.

Yes, the Pine Prairie – it does move it out into 2016 a little bit, but it is a – that the value we receive there it’s favorable versus the leverage ratio that we have today which is EBITDA versus total debt. So we kind of pulled that cash flow forward and we also and we also save ourselves the capital spending that would be associated with keeping that asset in that production or growth mode. Sean Sneeden – Oppenheimer & Co.: Okay, that’s helpful. And then maybe you John, does this increased liquidity change your view at all M&A? For instance would you be looking at full-time deals within your kind of core areas in the Mid-Con at all?

Well, we are always watching to see if a good opportunity comes along and the ideal situation would of course be in a place that we are already working. So it does give us a little bit of flexibility, but I will tell you we feel like we've our boat loaded right now and we’re going to be continuing to focus on what we’re doing right now, it’s working pretty well and we’d like to keep that moving.

Your next question comes from the line of Gregg Brody with JP Morgan.

Good morning, Gregg. Gregg W. Brody – JPMorgan Securities LLC: Good morning guys. Just coming back to your comments about having enough liquidity to go through 2015, it sounds like if you think you’ve additional Gulf Coast assets and revolver in place. Can you talk to us about 2015, how you get there and how you make it through there is it additional borrowing base sales, and then our asset sales or just your cash flow, we’ll get to the point where you are good?

The models we’re working with does assume us a small amount of additional sales that does no borrowing base growth in that assumption. Gregg W. Brody – JPMorgan Securities LLC: And if you were – if your borrowing business not growing, excuse me, if you didn't sell the Gulf Coast assets the remainders, would you be able to add that actually borrowing this, and you list out that how much that would be?

I don't have a sense of how much that would be, but yes we would be able to add it back. Gregg W. Brody – JPMorgan Securities LLC: And then just last question for you, tell about the actual EBITDA on the assets you sold?

I don’t have that with us, but again we’re in the middle of our marketing operation.

I can hit to that. The backward looking multiple which would be trailing one, the EBITDA was in the $65 million range, but if you take the forward expected EBITDA for 2014, that’s were it becomes a benefit to the leverage ratio for this year because it’s declining at a pretty good pace of our production level from 2013.

Yes, we haven’t spend any money out there since March of last year, and as most of you know we got to spend money to keep these things as long as the standard production rates.

Your next question comes from the line of Steven Karpel with Credit Suisse.

Good morning. Steven M. Karpel – Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC: Good morning. You’ve talked a bunch about the Cottage Grove, looked at your acreage position, can you comment where you see the most potential on the Cottage Grove?

Yes, we’re obviously working on it the hardest in Oklahoma that’s actually the only place we drilled a well right now, our Texas position were pretty much concentrating on the Cleveland and with some Marmaton. Steven M. Karpel – Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC: Yes, I guess in fact where in Oklahoma.

Okay, Ellis County [indiscernible]. Steven M. Karpel – Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC: Both, okay, I was curious. And you mentioned about the production – I didn’t follow all the numbers you were saying what current production was, maybe give us a little scan on towards, is it 27,000?

Yes, production for the company was 30,900. The Mississippian produced 1,820 and the Anadarko 8,700. Steven M. Karpel – Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC: So, the 27 was without Louisiana.

Yes, somebody asked for just Anadarko and Mississippi. Yes, you know guys I think we mentioned earlier, I want to make sure you did get that. We have had extraordinary amount of tough weather in Oklahoma and Panhandle the Texas this year. And it certainly has affected our volumes for this first quarter, but it feels like we’re coming back pretty well now. We got behind on frac jobs. Many companies, everybody got behind, so obviously then the frac companies, I mean trying to catch up everybody’s portfolio one. So there is a variety of things that are affecting our first quarter production. But as you can tell by that number, we’re coming back now, we feel pretty good about where we are at.

Thank you. I would now like to turn the call over to John for closing remarks.

Okay. If that's the last of the questions, thank you for being with us. We feel very good about where we have ended up. After these exercises, we have just told you about and we’re pretty excited about our 2014 and where we can take this company. If you have any further questions, please feel free to get a hold of Danielle and we’ll handle at that time. Thank you.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for participating. This does conclude today’s conference call. You may now disconnect.
