Good day, everyone, and welcome to Cobalt International Energy's First Quarter 2012 Conference Call. Just a reminder, today's call is being recorded.

Before we get started, one housekeeping matter. This conference call includes forward-looking statements. The risks associated with forward-looking statements have been outlined in the earnings release and in Cobalt's SEC filings, and we incorporate these by reference for this call.
