As the broader industry recognizes Alaska's unique resource potential, we believe our longstanding position, legacy infrastructure investments, and technical expertise provide us with a meaningful competitive advantage. Turning to LNG, we recently executed a third-party tolling agreement in Equatorial Guinea, extending the life of the LNG facility well into the next decade.
