This included the successful conclusion of a number of major agreements and the delivery of key project milestones that very clearly demonstrated our commitment to delivering against our promises. During 2022, we will continue to work tirelessly to deliver additional value for our shareholders through meaningful progression on both the Phase 1 mLNG project and the Phase 2 gas pipeline development in our energy transition strategy in order to deliver increased future Company growth. I look forward with confidence to delivering a similarly productive 2022 for Sound on behalf of all of its stakeholders,”Graham Lyon, Executive Chairman commented.
