Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us on our fourth quarter earnings call. If you look at our earnings release from last night, you'll see that we had a great 2025 despite headwinds from production and oil prices. During the year, we achieved significant commercial milestones that will benefit our future production for years to come. We successfully signed development agreements with Revenant Energy and Caturus Energy. These deals place approximately 500,000 gross acres into development with minimum drilling commitments ramping up to 37 gross wells per year by 2031 from those programs and including Aethon, a total of 50 gross wells over the same period.μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„, μ•ˆλ…•ν•˜μ‹­λ‹ˆκΉŒ? 저희 4λΆ„κΈ° 싀적 λ°œν‘œ 컨퍼런슀 μ½œμ— μ°Έμ—¬ν•΄ μ£Όμ…”μ„œ κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Aethon also recently brought several new wells online in the Shelby Trough at about 25 to 30 MMcf a day with another 5 wells expected to come online in the first quarter. An additional 18 wells are expected to be drilled throughout 2026. Also in 2026, we expect that Revenant will spud more than its minimum 6-well commitment and Caturus plans to drill its initial wells, including a pilot well. We are also seeing increased activity from others in the Shelby Trough as the industry moves towards available inventory to meet the growing natural gas demand.에이선(Aethon)은 졜근 μ‰˜λΉ„ νŠΈλŸ¬ν”„(Shelby Trough)μ—μ„œ ν•˜λ£¨ μ•½ 25~30 MMcf 규λͺ¨μ˜ μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ μœ μ • μ—¬λŸ¬ 개λ₯Ό κ°€λ™ν•˜κΈ° μ‹œμž‘ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, 1λΆ„κΈ°μ—λŠ” μΆ”κ°€λ‘œ 5개의 μœ μ •μ΄ 가동될 μ˜ˆμ •μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 2026λ…„μ—λŠ” μΆ”κ°€λ‘œ 18개의 μœ μ •μ΄ μ‹œμΆ”λ  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ 2026λ…„μ—λŠ” λ ˆλ²„λ„ŒνŠΈ(Revenant)κ°€ μ΅œμ†Œ 6개 μœ μ • μ‹œμΆ” 약속을 λ„˜μ–΄μ„€ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜λ©°, 카투루슀(Caturus)λŠ” 파일럿 μœ μ •μ„ ν¬ν•¨ν•œ 초기 μœ μ • μ‹œμΆ”λ₯Ό κ³„νšν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” λ˜ν•œ μ‰˜λΉ„ νŠΈλŸ¬ν”„μ—μ„œ λ‹€λ₯Έ μ—…μ²΄λ“€μ˜ ν™œλ™μ΄ μ¦κ°€ν•˜λŠ” 것을 λͺ©κ²©ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ”λ°, μ΄λŠ” 업계가 μ¦κ°€ν•˜λŠ” μ²œμ—°κ°€μŠ€ μˆ˜μš”λ₯Ό μΆ©μ‘±ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ κ°€μš© 재고λ₯Ό ν™œμš©ν•˜λ €λŠ” μ›€μ§μž„μ— λ”°λ₯Έ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
In addition to these developments, we are building another new opportunity in our Haynesville expansion area that we believe will add significant inventory and scale to the current development. Based on existing subsurface analysis, we believe we can continue to expand the Shelby Trough and Haynesville Basin towards the Western Haynesville. With our continued focus of increasing production from existing assets and driving long-term value for our unitholders, we have also entered into an LOI with a reputable operator with experience in the Haynesville on a meaningful amount of acreage in the Gulf Coast region outside of our recent focus areas.μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ§„μ „ 사항듀 외에도, μ €ν¬λŠ” ν˜„μž¬ μ§„ν–‰ 쀑인 κ°œλ°œμ— μƒλ‹Ήν•œ 재고(inventory)와 규λͺ¨(scale)λ₯Ό 더할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ κΈ°λŒ€ν•˜λŠ” 또 λ‹€λ₯Έ μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ 기회λ₯Ό ν—€μΈμ¦ˆλΉŒ(Haynesville) ν™•μž₯ μ§€μ—­μ—μ„œ κ΅¬μΆ•ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 기쑴의 μ§€ν•˜ 뢄석(subsurface analysis)을 기반으둜, μ €ν¬λŠ” μ…ΈλΉ„ νŠΈλŸ¬ν”„(Shelby Trough)와 ν—€μΈμ¦ˆλΉŒ λΆ„μ§€(Haynesville Basin)λ₯Ό μ„œλΆ€ ν—€μΈμ¦ˆλΉŒ(Western Haynesville) λ°©ν–₯으둜 계속 ν™•μž₯ν•  수 μžˆλ‹€κ³  λ―ΏμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κΈ°μ‘΄ μžμ‚°μ—μ„œ μƒμ‚°λŸ‰μ„ 늘리고 μœ λ‹› 보유자(unitholders)듀을 μœ„ν•œ μž₯기적인 κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό μ°½μΆœν•˜λŠ” 데 μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μ§‘μ€‘ν•˜λŠ” κ°€μš΄λ°, μ €ν¬λŠ” 졜근 집쀑 μ§€μ—­ μ™Έμ˜ κ±Έν”„ μ½”μŠ€νŠΈ(Gulf Coast) μ§€μ—­μ—μ„œ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ 규λͺ¨μ˜ 면적에 λŒ€ν•΄ ν—€μΈμ¦ˆλΉŒ μ§€μ—­ κ²½ν—˜μ΄ ν’λΆ€ν•œ ν‰νŒ 쒋은 μš΄μ˜μ‚¬(operator)와 LOI(의ν–₯μ„œ)λ₯Ό μ²΄κ²°ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Our acquisition program remains on track as well. Since launching the program in '23, we've invested about $240 million to add accretive mineral and royalty acreage across the Shelby Trough and Haynesville expansion area. We remain confident that the combination of these commercial initiatives will lead to significant growth and value for our unitholders. With that, I will hand the call over to Taylor. Taylor DeWalch

We ended 2025 and begin 2026 at about [ 32,000 BOE ] per day, but we see that materially growing throughout 2026. So while production guidance is roughly flat year-over-year, we see solid growth from fourth quarter 2025 to fourth quarter 2026. Our fall investor presentation showed that 2026 is anticipated to be just the beginning of new activity in the Shelby Trough. We expect significant increases in natural gas production and distributions for BSM unitholders over the coming years.2025년을 λ§ˆκ°ν•˜κ³  2026년을 μ‹œμž‘ν•˜λŠ” μ‹œμ μ˜ 일일 μƒμ‚°λŸ‰μ€ μ•½ 32,000 BOE(μ„μœ ν™˜μ‚°λ°°λŸ΄)μ˜€μ§€λ§Œ, 2026λ…„ ν•œ ν•΄ λ™μ•ˆ 이 μˆ˜μΉ˜κ°€ μ‹€μ§ˆμ μœΌλ‘œ 증가할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ μƒμ‚°λŸ‰ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€λŠ” μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„ 거의 변동이 없을 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλ˜μ§€λ§Œ, 2025λ…„ 4λΆ„κΈ°λΆ€ν„° 2026λ…„ 4λΆ„κΈ°κΉŒμ§€λŠ” κ²¬κ³ ν•œ μ„±μž₯을 보일 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ „λ§ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬μ˜ μ§€λ‚œ 가을 투자자 μ„€λͺ…νšŒμ—μ„œ 2026년은 μ…ΈλΉ„ νŠΈλΌν”„(Shelby Trough) μ§€μ—­μ˜ μ‹ κ·œ ν™œλ™μ΄ 본격적으둜 μ‹œμž‘λ˜λŠ” ν•΄κ°€ 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλœλ‹€κ³  밝힌 λ°” μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν–₯ν›„ λͺ‡ λ…„κ°„ BSM μœ λ‹› λ³΄μœ μžλ“€μ„ μœ„ν•œ μ²œμ—°κ°€μŠ€ μƒμ‚°λŸ‰ 및 λΆ„λ°°κΈˆμ˜ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ 증가λ₯Ό κΈ°λŒ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Because we have one substantial industry-leading inventory on our acreage in the Shelby Trough and Haynesville expansion and two, advantageous proximity to the Gulf Coast and key demand centers, we are optimistic about the long-term growth for our unitholders. The team has done a phenomenal job the last several years delineating and marketing the Haynesville expansion area and securing the development agreements. We are now preparing to manage the growth in activity through these development agreements with our operating partners. As noted in our release last night, we are strategically increasing G&A in 2026 to support this increase in activity.μ €ν¬λŠ” 첫째, Shelby Trough 및 Haynesville ν™•μž₯ μ§€μ—­ 내에 μƒλ‹Ήν•œ 규λͺ¨μ˜ 업계 졜고 μˆ˜μ€€ 재고λ₯Ό λ³΄μœ ν•˜κ³  있으며, λ‘˜μ§Έ, λ©•μ‹œμ½”λ§Œ(Gulf Coast) 및 μ£Όμš” μˆ˜μš” μ€‘μ‹¬μ§€μ™€μ˜ μœ λ¦¬ν•œ 근접성을 λ°”νƒ•μœΌλ‘œ, μœ λ‹› λ³΄μœ μžλ“€μ„ μœ„ν•œ μž₯기적인 μ„±μž₯에 λŒ€ν•΄ λ‚™κ΄€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 저희 νŒ€μ€ μ§€λ‚œ λͺ‡ λ…„κ°„ Haynesville ν™•μž₯ 지역을 탐사 및 λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ…ν•˜κ³  개발 계약을 ν™•λ³΄ν•˜λŠ” 데 λ†€λΌμš΄ μ„±κ³Όλ₯Ό κ±°λ‘μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이제 μ €ν¬λŠ” 운영 νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆλ“€κ³Όμ˜ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 개발 계약을 톡해 ν™œλ™ 증가λ₯Ό 관리할 μ€€λΉ„λ₯Ό ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ–΄μ ―λ°€ 저희가 λ°œν‘œν•œ μžλ£Œμ—μ„œ μ–ΈκΈ‰ν–ˆλ“―μ΄, μ €ν¬λŠ” μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ ν™œλ™ 증가λ₯Ό μ§€μ›ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ 2026년에 G&A(νŒλ§€λΉ„μ™€κ΄€λ¦¬λΉ„)λ₯Ό μ „λž΅μ μœΌλ‘œ 늘릴 μ˜ˆμ •μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Total production for the quarter was [ 32,100 ] BOE per day, and we completed the year at the high end of the updated guidance. As discussed in the release last night, our updated guidance last year reflected lower natural gas directed drilling activity and volume levels in the Shelby Trough over the last couple of years. We expect 2026 to be a turning point with new and increased development in the Shelby Trough and Haynesville expansion areas, along with high interest projects in the Permian Basin and ongoing development across our broader assets.4λΆ„κΈ° κ΄‘λ¬Ό 및 λ‘œμ—΄ν‹° μƒμ‚°λŸ‰μ€ 일일 30,900 μ„μœ ν™˜μ‚°λ°°λŸ΄(BOE)을 κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μ΄λŠ” μ „ λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ 11% κ°μ†Œν•œ μˆ˜μΉ˜μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν•΄λ‹Ή λΆ„κΈ°μ˜ 총 μƒμ‚°λŸ‰μ€ 일일 32,100 μ„μœ ν™˜μ‚°λ°°λŸ΄(BOE)μ΄μ—ˆμœΌλ©°, μ—°κ°„ μƒμ‚°λŸ‰μ€ μ—…λ°μ΄νŠΈλœ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€μ˜ 상단 μˆ˜μ€€μ„ λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ–΄μ ―λ°€ λ³΄λ„μžλ£Œμ—μ„œ μ–ΈκΈ‰ν–ˆλ“―μ΄, μž‘λ…„ μ €ν¬μ˜ μ—…λ°μ΄νŠΈλœ κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€λŠ” μ§€λ‚œ λͺ‡ λ…„κ°„ μ…ΈλΉ„ νŠΈλ‘œν”„(Shelby Trough) μ§€μ—­μ˜ μ²œμ—°κ°€μŠ€ μ‹œμΆ” ν™œλ™ 및 μƒμ‚°λŸ‰ μˆ˜μ€€μ΄ κ°μ†Œν•œ 것을 λ°˜μ˜ν•œ κ²ƒμ΄μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” 2026년이 μ…ΈλΉ„ νŠΈλ‘œν”„(Shelby Trough) 및 ν—€μΈμ¦ˆλΉŒ(Haynesville) ν™•μž₯ μ§€μ—­μ—μ„œμ˜ μ‹ κ·œ 및 μ¦λŒ€λœ 개발, νΌλ―Έμ•ˆ λΆ„μ§€(Permian Basin)의 μ£Όμš” ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈ, 그리고 μ „λ°˜μ μΈ μžμ‚°μ— 걸친 지속적인 개발과 ν•¨κ»˜ μ „ν™˜μ μ΄ 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We continue to monitor increasing activity levels in the Haynesville and commodity price dynamics as we look towards 2026 production and distribution. The partnership is also in the process of shooting two substantial 3D seismic surveys in the Shelby Trough and Haynesville expansion area, covering about 360,000 gross acres. While initiating and funding these surveys is not typical for Black Stone, we believe it allows us to control the timing, pace and focus of the data, highlighting our minerals and supporting their development under our contracted agreements. Most of the remaining costs for these surveys are expected to be incurred in 2026 with completion targeted for early 2027.μ €ν¬λŠ” 2026λ…„ 생산 및 μœ ν†΅μ„ λ‚΄λ‹€λ³΄λ©΄μ„œ ν—€μΈμ¦ˆλΉŒ(Haynesville) μ§€μ—­μ˜ μ¦κ°€ν•˜λŠ” ν™œλ™ μˆ˜μ€€κ³Ό μ›μžμž¬ 가격 동ν–₯을 κ³„μ†ν•΄μ„œ μ£Όμ‹œν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹Ήμ‚¬λŠ” λ˜ν•œ μ…ΈλΉ„ νŠΈλ‘œν”„(Shelby Trough) 및 ν—€μΈμ¦ˆλΉŒ ν™•μž₯ μ§€μ—­μ—μ„œ μ•½ 36만 총 에이컀(gross acres) 규λͺ¨μ˜ λŒ€κ·œλͺ¨ 3D νƒ„μ„±νŒŒ 탐사 두 건을 μ§„ν–‰ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λΈ”λž™μŠ€ν†€(Black Stone)이 μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 탐사λ₯Ό μ‹œμž‘ν•˜κ³  μžκΈˆμ„ μ§€μ›ν•˜λŠ” 것은 μ΄λ‘€μ μ΄μ§€λ§Œ, λ‹Ήμ‚¬λŠ” 이λ₯Ό 톡해 λ°μ΄ν„°μ˜ μ‹œκΈ°, μ§„ν–‰ 속도 및 μ΄ˆμ μ„ ν†΅μ œν•˜μ—¬ λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ κ΄‘λ¬Ό μžμ›μ„ λΆ€κ°μ‹œν‚€κ³  계약 ν•©μ˜μ— 따라 ν•΄λ‹Ή μžμ›μ˜ κ°œλ°œμ„ 지원할 수 μžˆλ‹€κ³  μƒκ°ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이 νƒμ‚¬λ“€μ˜ μž”μ—¬ λΉ„μš© λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„μ€ 2026년에 λ°œμƒν•  κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλ˜λ©°, μ™„λ£ŒλŠ” 2027λ…„ 초둜 μ˜ˆμ •λ˜μ–΄ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
They are subject to partial reimbursement with reported costs reflecting Black Stone's share while the partnership retains full ownership of the data. Over time, the proprietary nature of these surveys may provide opportunities to license the data to industry, potentially generating additional revenue. Together with these supplemental seismic purchases, these assets are expected to enhance subsurface evaluation, further unlock the value of our mineral and royalty acreage and accelerate development of that acreage. To better reflect how we view these investments, we've updated the presentation of adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow to exclude seismic acquisition costs.이 λΉ„μš©λ“€μ€ λΆ€λΆ„ μƒν™˜ λŒ€μƒμ΄λ©°, 보고된 λΉ„μš©μ€ λΈ”λž™μŠ€ν†€μ˜ 지뢄을 λ°˜μ˜ν•˜λŠ” ν•œνŽΈ, νŒŒνŠΈλ„ˆμ‹­μ€ ν•΄λ‹Ή λ°μ΄ν„°μ˜ μ™„μ „ν•œ μ†Œμœ κΆŒμ„ μœ μ§€ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μž₯기적으둜, μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 탐사 자료의 독점적 νŠΉμ„±μ€ 업계에 데이터λ₯Ό λΌμ΄μ„ μŠ€ν•  기회λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•˜μ—¬ 잠재적으둜 μΆ”κ°€ μˆ˜μ΅μ„ μ°½μΆœν•  수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 좔가적인 μ§€μ§„νŒŒ 탐사 자료 ꡬ맀와 λ”λΆˆμ–΄, 이 μžμ‚°λ“€μ€ μ§€ν•˜ 평가λ₯Ό ν–₯μƒμ‹œν‚€κ³ , λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ κ΄‘λ¬Ό 및 λ‘œμ—΄ν‹° 보유 μ§€μ—­μ˜ κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό λ”μš± λ°œκ΅΄ν•˜λ©°, ν•΄λ‹Ή μ§€μ—­μ˜ κ°œλ°œμ„ 가속화할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ νˆ¬μžμ— λŒ€ν•œ λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ 관점을 더 잘 λ°˜μ˜ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄, μ €ν¬λŠ” μ‘°μ • EBITDA와 λΆ„λ°°κ°€λŠ₯ ν˜„κΈˆ νλ¦„μ˜ ν‘œμ‹œ 방식을 μ—…λ°μ΄νŠΈν•˜μ—¬ μ§€μ§„νŒŒ 탐사 자료 취득 λΉ„μš©μ„ μ œμ™Έν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Turning to the quarter's financial results. Net income was $72.2 million for the fourth quarter with adjusted EBITDA of $76.7 million. 51% of oil and gas revenue in the quarter came from oil and condensate production. As previously announced, we declared a distribution of $0.30 per unit for the quarter or $1.20 on an annualized basis. Distributable cash flow for the quarter was $66.8 million, which represents 1.05x coverage for the period. As Fowler and Taylor mentioned earlier, the partnership's outlook remains strong, anchored by long-term contracted development in our high-interest Shelby Trough acreage as well as our core legacy assets across the U.S.이제 이번 λΆ„κΈ° 재무 싀적을 μ‚΄νŽ΄λ³΄κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 4λΆ„κΈ° μˆœμ΄μ΅μ€ 7,220만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜€μœΌλ©°, μ‘°μ • EBITDAλŠ” 7,670만 λ‹¬λŸ¬λ₯Ό κΈ°λ‘ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 λΆ„κΈ° μ„μœ  및 κ°€μŠ€ 맀좜의 51%λŠ” μ›μœ  및 μ»¨λ΄μ„Έμ΄νŠΈ μƒμ‚°μ—μ„œ λ°œμƒν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ•žμ„œ κ³΅μ§€λ“œλ¦° 바와 같이, 이번 λΆ„κΈ° μ£Όλ‹Ή 0.30λ‹¬λŸ¬, μ—°κ°„ κΈ°μ€€μœΌλ‘œ 1.20λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ λΆ„λ°°κΈˆ 지급을 κ²°μ •ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이번 λΆ„κΈ° λΆ„λ°°κ°€λŠ₯ ν˜„κΈˆνλ¦„μ€ 6,680만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜€μœΌλ©°, μ΄λŠ” ν•΄λ‹Ή κΈ°κ°„ λ™μ•ˆ 1.05배의 컀버리지λ₯Ό λ‚˜νƒ€λƒ…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

With growing demand from LNG and electric power generation, the outlook for natural gas is increasingly constructive over the next decade. Our significant assets near Gulf Coast LNG facilities position Black Stone to benefit from the substantial call on gas supply, which we expect to increase over the coming years. In conclusion, we had a successful 2025 on many fronts, setting the partnership up for a great 2026 and beyond. We remain confident that our existing acreage positions across numerous basins, coupled with our commercial strategy and the expanded Shelby Trough will provide a strong foundation to deliver sustainable long-term value for unitholders.LNG 및 μ „λ ₯ 생산 μˆ˜μš” 증가에 따라 ν–₯ν›„ 10λ…„κ°„ μ²œμ—°κ°€μŠ€ 전망은 점점 더 κΈμ •μ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ±Έν”„ μ—°μ•ˆ LNG μ‹œμ„€ 인근에 μœ„μΉ˜ν•œ λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ μžμ‚°μ€ Black Stone이 ν–₯ν›„ λͺ‡ λ…„κ°„ 증가할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλ˜λŠ” κ°€μŠ€ 곡급에 λŒ€ν•œ μƒλ‹Ήν•œ μˆ˜μš”λ‘œλΆ€ν„° 이점을 얻을 수 μžˆλŠ” μœ λ¦¬ν•œ μœ„μΉ˜μ— μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Taylor DeWalch: Yes, Derrick, this is Taylor, and I'll start out with that. I mean I think when we look back to 2025 kind of midyear and then along with kind of our investor presentation, we really pointed to where we thought production was headed based on the last couple of years kind of activity in the Shelby Trough and the decreased activity there. And so where we end 2025 is where we think we're going to start 2026, which is what we've kind of alluded to in the release last night and mentioned in our script this morning. And then I think that where that puts us for the full year is reflected kind of in the guidance. So again, we think we're going to be increasing materially throughout the course of 2026. And most of that is attributable to kind of new development agreements as well as Permian production and those high interest developments out West.**Taylor DeWalch:** λ„€, 데릭. μ œκ°€ λ¨Όμ € λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 저희가 2025λ…„ μ€‘λ°˜κ³Ό 투자자 μ„€λͺ…νšŒ(investor presentation)λ₯Ό 톡해 λ§μ”€λ“œλ Έλ“―μ΄, μ§€λ‚œ λͺ‡ λ…„κ°„ μ…ΈλΉ„ νŠΈλ‘œν”„(Shelby Trough) μ§€μ—­μ˜ ν™œλ™κ³Ό κ·Έκ³³μ—μ„œμ˜ ν™œλ™ κ°μ†Œλ₯Ό 기반으둜 μƒμ‚°λŸ‰(production)이 μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ 될지 μ˜ˆμƒμΉ˜λ₯Ό μ œμ‹œν•œ λ°” μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ 2025λ…„ 말의 μƒμ‚°λŸ‰μ€ 2026λ…„ 초의 μ‹œμž‘μ μ΄ 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•˜λ©°, μ΄λŠ” μ–΄μ ―λ°€ λ³΄λ„μžλ£Œ(release)μ—μ„œ μ•”μ‹œν•˜κ³  였늘 μ•„μΉ¨ μŠ€ν¬λ¦½νŠΈμ—μ„œλ„ μ–ΈκΈ‰ν–ˆλ˜ λ‚΄μš©μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 상황이 μ—°κ°„ 싀적에 λ―ΈμΉ˜λŠ” 영ν–₯은 κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€(guidance)에 λ°˜μ˜λ˜μ–΄ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹€μ‹œ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬μ§€λ§Œ, μ €ν¬λŠ” 2026λ…„ ν•œ ν•΄ λ™μ•ˆ μƒμ‚°λŸ‰μ΄ 상당폭 증가할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έ λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„μ€ μ‹ κ·œ 개발 계약(development agreements)κ³Ό νΌλ―Έμ•ˆ(Permian) μƒμ‚°λŸ‰, 그리고 μ„œλΆ€ μ§€μ—­μ˜ 고수읡 개발 사업(high interest developments)에 κΈ°μΈν•œλ‹€κ³  λ³Ό 수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

So can you talk about kind of what you're pursuing in the Permian and kind of how -- just kind of the scale and the priority of that given everything that's going on in the Haynesville?**Timothy Rezvan:** νΌλ―Έμ•ˆ(Permian)으둜 ν™”μ œλ₯Ό μ „ν™˜ν•˜μ—¬ μ§ˆλ¬Έλ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ €ν¬λŠ” λ³΄λ„μžλ£Œμ—μ„œ μ½”ν…ŒλΌ(Coterra) 개발 μ§€μ—­ μ™Έμ˜ μž„λŒ€(leasing) ν™œλ™μ— λŒ€ν•œ 언급을 ν™•μΈν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ, 2026λ…„ 앑상 μƒμ‚°λŸ‰(liquids) κ°€μ΄λ˜μŠ€κ°€ 저희 μ˜ˆμƒμΉ˜λ³΄λ‹€ λ‹€μ†Œ ν•˜ν–₯ μ‘°μ •λœ 것을 λ³΄μ•˜μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”°λΌμ„œ νΌλ―Έμ•ˆμ—μ„œ μ–΄λ–€ μ „λž΅μ„ μΆ”κ΅¬ν•˜κ³  계신지, 그리고 ν—€μΈμ¦ˆλΉŒ(Haynesville)μ—μ„œ μ§„ν–‰ 쀑인 λͺ¨λ“  상황을 κ³ λ €ν•  λ•Œ, νΌλ―Έμ•ˆ μ‚¬μ—…μ˜ 규λͺ¨μ™€ μš°μ„ μˆœμœ„λŠ” μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ λ˜λŠ”μ§€ μ„€λͺ…ν•΄ μ£Όμ‹€ 수 μžˆμ„κΉŒμš”?
Taylor DeWalch: Sure, Tim. This is Taylor, and I'll start there. I think we're excited to see activity in the Permian kind of in two different folds, if you will. We've got high interest activity from Coterra, and then we mentioned another large-scale kind of high interest development that's happening in the Southern Delaware. So that's a bit more proactive asset management, if you will, along with quite a bit of leasing throughout 2025 that we think points to increased activity across '26 and '27. I think if you look at the timing of some of this and when we see those volumes coming on, certainly, we'll see some of the Coterra wells continue to come on over the course of '26. Some of the other activity, I think, really is probably later on in '26 and more materially in 2027. So I think you'll start to see those volumes a little bit later on. But no, we're excited about what's going on. Certainly excited about some of the other folks in the industry and their excitement around the Barnett, which we've also seen leasing pick up. So I think there's a lot to be excited about in the Permian right now.**Taylor DeWalch:** μ œκ°€ λ¨Όμ € λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. νΌλ―Έμ•ˆ λΆ„μ§€(Permian Basin)μ—μ„œμ˜ ν™œλ™μ΄ 두 κ°€μ§€ μΈ‘λ©΄μ—μ„œ ν™œλ°œν•΄μ§€λŠ” 것을 보게 λ˜μ–΄ κ³ λ¬΄μ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ¨Όμ €, μ½”ν…ŒλΌ(Coterra)λ‘œλΆ€ν„° 높은 잠재λ ₯을 κ°€μ§„ ν™œλ™μ΄ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 저희가 μ–ΈκΈ‰ν–ˆλ“―μ΄, μ„œλ˜ 델라웨어(Southern Delaware) μ§€μ—­μ—μ„œλ„ 또 λ‹€λ₯Έ λŒ€κ·œλͺ¨μ˜ 높은 잠재λ ₯을 κ°€μ§„ 개발이 μ§„ν–‰ μ€‘μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Chris Bonner: Senior VP, Chief Accounting Officer, Treasurer & CFO of Black Stone Minerals GP L.L.C Yes. The only thing I'd add there is -- so we know about these high interest developments that we can model. When we're looking at where pricing is right now in the Permian, we're being thoughtful on just the broader development there and not wanting to get ahead of ourselves when it comes to forecasting the broader Permian volumes.**Chris Bonner:** λ„€. μ œκ°€ λ§λΆ™μ΄μžλ©΄, μ €ν¬λŠ” λͺ¨λΈλ§μ΄ κ°€λŠ₯ν•œ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ£Όλͺ©ν•  λ§Œν•œ 개발(high interest developments)듀을 μΈμ§€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Timothy Rezvan: KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Research Division Okay. Okay. I appreciate the context. My next question, if we look at the Henry Hub strip this year, it's below $3.50 for a lot of the year into kind of the winter. And you've talked about sort of maybe a flattish start to the year growing. Do you feel comfortable you can fund your $0.30 distribution through distributable cash flow without sort of leaning on liquidity for the next -- I mean, 1Q will be a big aberration we know with $5 Henry Hub. But as we look to the summer, how confident are you that you can sort of fund that without leaning on liquidity?**Timothy Rezvan:** μ•Œκ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ„€λͺ… κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Taylor DeWalch: Yes. Good question. And maybe I'll start off and Chris, if you want to jump in. But I think it really just sort of following up on what Chris just said, we've taken a stance on being really thoughtful about where we see commodity prices and activity levels and where we think that we've got some pretty solid development that's going to happen, and we're confident in that development based on our agreements and our minimum commitments there. So along with the sort of ongoing activity and wells coming online. So I would say that we're confident that we can continue to fund the distribution and grow throughout the year based on those minimums.**Taylor DeWalch:** λ„€, 쒋은 μ§ˆλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ œκ°€ λ¨Όμ € λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ³ , ν¬λ¦¬μŠ€κ»˜μ„œ 덧뢙여 μ£Όμ‹œλ©΄ μ’‹κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Timothy Rezvan: KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Research Division Okay. Okay. I just wanted to push on that. And if I could sneak one more in. I appreciate the prepared comments on the seismic, we saw that adjustment with your adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter. Should we assume that, that $30 million of exploration expense is all seismic? Is there a cadence to that? Is that a onetime expense? And do you expect to continue to kind of adjust that out for adjusted EBITDA?**Timothy Rezvan:** λ„€, μ•Œκ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έ 뢀뢄에 λŒ€ν•΄ μ’€ 더 여쭀보고 μ‹Άμ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 ν•œ κ°€μ§€λ§Œ 더 μ§ˆλ¬Έλ“œλ €λ„ λ κΉŒμš”?

Chris Bonner: Senior VP, Chief Accounting Officer, Treasurer & CFO of Black Stone Minerals GP L.L.C Yes, I can answer that. So it is expense throughout the year. We do expect more of it to hit when the shoot is actually taking place in the middle of the year. And it is the majority of the seismic that we forecasted. It's about 90-plus percent of the total. And we do expect the majority of the costs related to these two specific shoots to be completed in early '27, but primarily expensed in '26. And we don't anticipate additional significant seismic costs within this development area.**Chris Bonner:** λ„€, μ œκ°€ λ‹΅λ³€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Taylor DeWalch: Yes. I might just add on too and just take that question a little bit further, Tim. The seismic shoot is certainly something, I think, pretty unique for a company like us to do. But I think when you look back at the last couple of years, we have taken a stance of putting subsurface analysis and geology first, and we're pretty convicted in the Rock in the Shelby Trough and the Haynesville expansion. And I think these seismic shoots are just another data point for us to further that story and really build the foundation for our operators to come in and start to develop. And I think as Chris also mentioned in his prepared remarks, these are proprietary shoots. So we own them and look forward to, at some point, also potentially turning those licenses to industry and generating revenue off of them. So a couple of different ways we're thinking about the seismic. But excited to get those shot later this year and just keep on developing the Shelby Trough and the Haynesville expansion.**Taylor DeWalch:** λ„€, νŒ€, μ œκ°€ 이 μ§ˆλ¬Έμ— λŒ€ν•΄ 쑰금 더 덧뢙여 λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
