"The decision to move to the construction phase has now been taken with our goal to achieve commercial gas sales in 2013. Our achievements at Liulin continue to position the company as a significant developer of unconventional gas, in line with China's natural gas strategy, and pave the way for commercial gas sales and a new source of revenue for the Company."
