(ShareCast News) - One of Sound Energy's projects hit a major milestone on Thursday, with the revelation that the company's onshore Nervesa gas discovery had reached first gas.The AIM-traded upstream gas company with a focus on the Mediterranean said the Nervesa discovery was drilled successfully by the company in 2013, and benefited from a gas sales agreement with the Shell Group."First gas at Nervesa is a landmark event for the company, providing energy to a robust domestic market and further underpinning our broader Mediterranean expansion", said chief executive James Parsons.A further announcement confirming production rates would be made after the initial clean-up phase was completed, and the stable flow rate had been assessed.Sound Energy's webcam would now depart Italy for Morocco, where it was approaching its first well at the Tendrara licence.
