"We also recently announced two letters of award; a significant award in the Middle East, demonstrating our operational expertise and strong relationships in the area, and an award for KG-D6, a significant subsea installation project, from Reliance Industries in India, supporting our continued focus and growing presence in the country. This quarter, our company-wide focus on safety led us to surpass an impressive 60 million man-hours LTI-free as a company. We also continue to see a robust revenue opportunity pipeline throughout all three areas, with increased bidding opportunities and a growing level of FEED activity."
