The last deck that will be constructed for Phase 3 wil be a deck with upper constructions for a platform considered for gas production, gas boosting and water injection with engeeneering and technical systems. Construction work on the upper construction is underway on a costruction area of ATA (Amec-Tekfen-Azfen) and in Bibi-Heybat.
