Our Delaware Gathering assets are performing well and meeting our expectations.

I will now hand it over to Reuven..

Thank you, Avigal. Total EBITDA for Logistics was $93 million for the second quarter of ‘23 compared with $65 million for the same period in ‘22. For the second quarter of ‘23 distributable cash flow was $60 million, and the DCF coverage ratio was 1.34x.

For the Gathering and Processing segment EBITDA this quarter was $53 million, compared with $38 million in the second quarter of ‘22. The increase was primarily driven from strong contributions by the Midland Gathering System as well as Delaware Gathering.

Throughput for the Midland Gathering averaged approximately 222,000 barrels per day for the second quarter of ‘23, more than twice the average 100,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of ‘22. The Wholesale Marketing and Terminaling segment EBITDA of $28 million for the quarter, compared with $90 million in the second quarter of ‘22.

The increase was due to higher terminaling throughput in East Texas and higher gross margin in our West Texas operation. The Storage and Transportation segment had EBITDA of $15 million this quarter, which is in line with the last year results.

And lastly, the Investment in Pipeline Joint Venture segment contributed $7 million toward the second quarter of ’23, flat with the second quarter of ‘22.

Moving on to capital expenditures, second quarter of ‘23, capital spending was $19 million, most of that spent was for growth projects, namely advancing new connections in the Delaware and Midland Gathering Systems. For 2023, we maintained with our capital outlook of $81 million. With that we can open the call for questions..

[Operator Instructions] Since we have no questions at this time, we will turn the conference over back to Avigal Soreq for any closing remarks..
