He also expressed hope that a deal for developing phase 11 of the supergiant South Pars Gas Field will be signed before the calendar yearend to March 20 or early next year.
"Not all the companies included in the vendor list are supposed to show up for the South Azadegan tender and what matters is the qualification of potential developers in the project."
Kardor, who is also deputy petroleum minister in petroleum affairs, added that studies for developing phase 11 of the South Pars gas field have concluded and tender documents for sideline projects have been prepared.
