He added the structure is being loaded at Khorramshahr Yard and will take at least 5 months to be installed.
Shabanpour also said platform 19A of phase 19 will also be loaded on the same barge with platform of phase 21 to be carried to their designated offshore spots.
The South Pars gas field, whose development has been divided into 28 phases, is located in the Persian Gulf straddling the maritime border between Iran and Qatar.
It is estimated that the Iranian section of the field contains 14 trillion cubic meters of gas and 18 billion barrels of condensates in place.
