Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Halcón Resources First Quarter 2015 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question-and-answer session, and instructions will follow at that time. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would like to introduce your host for today's conference, Mark Mize, our CFO. Mr. Mize, you may begin. Mark J. Mize - Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer & Executive VP: Okay. Thank you. This conference call contains forward-looking statements. For a detailed description of our disclaimer, see our earnings release issued yesterday and posted to our website. We'll start the call with some financial comments, and then I'll turn it over to Floyd Wilson. A few brief comments about our line of credit with the banks and liquidity subsequent to the quarter, and we amended our revolving credit agreement to provide covenant flexibility by removing the interest coverage ratio and replacing it with a total secured debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.75 times. We also extended the maturity of the facility from February of 2017 to August of 2019. And our credit facility continues to be led by JPMorgan and Wells Fargo. We continue to have a very supportive and constructive bank group that we're happy to call our partners. Concurrent with the execution of the revolver amendment last week, we closed our second lien notes offering in the amount of $700 million and use of proceeds to repay borrowings on the credit facility with the banks. In conjunction with that capital raise, our borrowing base was reduced from $1.05 billion to $900 million. So we picked up net additional liquidity of about $550 million, which is a great outcome for the company. Pro forma for the second lien offering and the borrowing base reduction, we ended the quarter with about $920 million of liquidity, which allows us to comfortably operate the company well into 2018 with no additional capital raises required. This does assume an annual D&C capital spend equivalent to that of the current year, and is based on current strip prices. Production for the quarter was in line with our guidance, an average of just over 43,000 barrel of oil equivalent per day. We published production guidance for the second quarter in the earnings release, and this accounts for approximately 2,000 Boe a day of non-operated production in the Williston Basin that's currently shut in due to low commodity prices. However, we are reaffirming full year 2015 production guidance of 40,000 to 45,000 Boe a day. On the cost side, LOE plus workover expense was $9.51 per Boe in Q1, which was in our guidance range for the year of $8 to $10. Expect this line item to trend lower throughout the remainder of the year. Then after adjusting for selected items, cash G&A was just under $5 per Boe in the first quarter, which is line with the guidance range of $4 to $6 and is consistent with expectations for the remainder of the year. Taxes other than income came in under the low end of guidance of $3.16. Gathering, transportation and other after adjusting for some selected items came in at $2 per Boe, which is in line with full year guidance. And then just overall, total operating cost on a per Boe basis improved 8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. And we do expect continued improvement in 2015, not only driven by general market conditions, but more importantly our cost cutting initiatives despite a relatively flat production profile for the remainder of 2015, as we round out 2015. For modeling purposes, it's worth mentioning that due to an overall decrease in unevaluated properties, which is the basis for capitalized interest calculation, we're capitalizing less interest expense than we have historically, and are now projecting capitalized interest to be about 30% of our total interest burden in 2015. Also we reduced our annual cash interest expense by approximately $25 million as a result of the recent common equity-for-debt swaps that we've executed. And given the recent ceiling test strike-downs, our DD&A rate has also declined. With regards to D&C CapEx, we spent approximately $105 million during the first quarter, which is in line with expectations. We continue to be extremely focused on capital discipline this year as we've indicated by our reduced 2015 capital budget. And our current D&C budget for this year was reduced by another $25 million to $325 million to $375 million. 2015 D&C CapEx will be front half loaded, primarily due to the number of wells waiting on completion at the end of 2014 related to more rigs running in late 2014 as compared to current levels. Finally, with regard to hedges, as of the close of market yesterday, we had a mark-to-market value of about $320 million. Today, we have 31,410 barrels per day of oil hedged for the remainder of 2015 at an average price of $90.28. And for 2016, we have about right at 25,000 barrels per day of oil hedged at an average price of just over $81 per barrel, and we've recently started layering in some hedges in 2017. If all our hedging for 2015 is complete, we'll continue to opportunistically layer in additional hedges in 2016 and 2017 to meet our target of being hedged at about 80% of what we expect to produce. And with that, I'll turn the call back to Floyd. Floyd C. Wilson - Chairman & Chief Executive Officer: Thanks, Mark. The performance of the wells we put on line in the fourth quarter was excellent and consistent despite the headwinds our industry is currently facing. Well costs came down meaningfully. We expect this trend to continue. Based on our lower completed well costs expectations, we reduced our 2015 drilling completion budget yet again by another $25 million to about $350 million, as Mark mentioned. One of our top priorities is to strengthen our balance sheet. The senior secured second lien notes offering was implemented to improve liquidity and shore up the balance sheet. We have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and service our obligations for the next several years, even if low oil prices persist. And our near-term maturities have been extended, which Mark also mentioned. We currently have about 22 wells completed or waiting on completion. We're running three rigs, two up north and one at El Halcón. We expect to keep the same three-rig program throughout the remainder of this year. In the Williston Basin, wells put online during the first quarter are outperforming our type curves in both areas, Fort Berthold and Williams County. Down-spacing continues to yield positive results and the data suggests that the 660-foot spacing will be appropriate over much of our position. The Fort Berthold area, we brought six wells online during the quarter that were spaced between 660 feet and 770 feet apart, drilled from a single pad with a cumulative IP rate of 21,000 barrels a day. One of these wells IP-ed at 5,248 barrels a day, another new record for us and perhaps for the field. Completed well costs in the Fort Berthold area have come down over 30% since the fourth quarter of last year, currently about $8 million. We expect to see more savings or cost reductions in the near term. Using the current strip, the IRR for a well that meets our 801 Mboe type curve in the Fort Berthold area is roughly 50%, irrespective of hedges. We recently put three wells online at Williams County that were spaced 865 feet apart and they're outperforming our 477 Boe per day type curve, Mboe type curve, for that area with an average IP of 1,777 Boe per day. We're in the process of bringing three more wells online in this area and expect some results. Remember, in Williams County, costs are about $1 million per well less than in Fort Berthold, so economics are competitive. Drilling and completion efficiencies are an ongoing project at our company. We're having some success there, notably through more efficient power sourcing and water disposal solutions, repurposing of existing equipment and optimizing chemical programs, and effectively manage our workover program, including offset frac preparation. We continue to increase gas capture in the Williston Basin. Currently, nearly 90% of our gas production is being sold, which is well above the limit imposed by the NDIC. In East Texas at El Halcón, results have been consistent and the wells we've drilled in this quarter, all four wells we put online in the first quarter, are outperforming our 452 MBoe type curve. We are continuing to look for ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs at El Halcón. In addition to across the board service cost reductions, we've taken the additional steps of bringing directional drilling and (9:37) management services in-house, and that's going great. The current AFE for wells we drill at Halcón is approximately $7.5 million, about 30% lower than where we were for most of the fourth quarter. Using the current strip, the IRR per well that meets our 452-type curve at El Halcón is about 20%, irrespective of hedges. We anticipate completed well cost to continue to decline by initial 5% to 15% in the next few months. I'd also remind you that we're still in lease capture mode at El Halcón, which means we're only drilling one well per pad this year. That means that that well has to bear the full cost for location and title opinion, production facilities and gathering tie-ins and all charged to that first well. Completed well cost in this play will decline by about another $1 million per well once we transition to development mode next year. And, of course, the economics become compelling. So operationally, things are going well and we have the liquidity to see ourself through the next several years. Our acreage in the Williston Basin and at El Halcón is located in the core of each play, has been de-risked and we have an inventory of hundreds and hundreds of future all-but proved locations. Our three-rig program for 2015 is barely dipping into this inventory. We continue to improve on addressing leverage concerns and are tackling this issue from all angles. As the background would suggest, we are an acquisitive management team and are constantly generating ideas that could improve Halcón. Operator, we're ready for questions, if there are any.
