The jacket platform, weighing 3,100 tons and standing 75 meters tall, was installed on Monday using the float-over method by the *Sadra-5000* installation vessel at a depth of 65 meters in the Persian Gulf. The completion of the installation process, including pile driving and attaching additional components, will continue in the coming days.

The jacket, constructed with a $16 million investment by Iranian engineers at the Sadra Marine Industrial Company, was loaded from the company’s Yard No. 3 in Bushehr. During his visit to Bushehr Province, President Masoud Pezeshkian issued the order for its transportation and installation in the Persian Gulf at the location of the Belal gas field.

The development of the Belal gas field, led by the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) and supervised by Pars Oil and Gas Company, has been awarded to Petropars as the general contractor. The field has a daily production capacity of 500 million cubic feet of gas.
