India's largest coal gasification project: Financial closure done
Feb 11: 8By all indications, financial closure seems to have happened 8And that is a giant step in India's quest for another energy lever for downstream chemical productionDetails

Cementing and BHP services tender: Why was it cancelled?
Feb 11: 8The technical bar was anchored on 10,000 psi spreads and controlled slurry systems. 8The cancellation now leaves the market guessing whether the bottleneck was field planning or a bidder-pool squeeze. Click on Details for moreDetails
Mud engineering package: 13.5% L2 spread
Feb 11: 8The award locks a four-year drilling chemistry and solids-control risk envelope into a single L1 outcome, but the corrigendum trail shows where the promoter quietly rebalanced vendor power. Click on Details for moreDetails
Downstream contracting briefs: Part I
Feb 11: 1) Refinery locks a dividing-wall DIH column conversion and reboiler redesign inside a single-lane BEDP revision tender 8The refinery is not buying a routine “BEDP update” but a tightly specified redesign package spanning dividing-wall column detailing and HTRI reboiler work — HPCL/hexane project and DIH column.
2) GAIL’s gandhar QRA tender leans on L1 rails but tightens enforceability through layered compliance screens 8A rare “BEC not applicable” framing shifts the risk from qualification tables into scope interpretation and responsiveness traps. The bid looks simple at first glance, yet the contract architecture quietly decides who can credibly deliver and who merely quotes.
3) CO2 liquefaction package stretches as weekly extensions stack up 8The spec envelope looks tight, but the real story is in the unresolved interface and acceptance-test risk that bidders keep trying to pin down. The option clause posture adds another layer: HPCL is preserving volume flexibility while bidders sit with validity and cost volatility.
4) HPCL LMBU cooling tower and CWTO package gets second bid due date push 8The bigger story is not the calendar shift—it is the way the tender forces power-consumption guarantees into evaluation loading and PGTR liability. The extension buys time for compliant bids, yet it also amplifies the risk of version-misses and guarantee mis-commits.
5) CPCL stretches bid timeline for guide framework VRO consultancy as liability and risk-transfer is reset 8The real story sits in the clause tweaks that decide who pays when internal dependencies derail a 12-month enterprise rollout.
Feb 11: 1) BPCL’s PFCCU revamp composite works tender turns shutdown density and SOR completeness into the real pre-bid battleground 8Bidders are already tripping over a scope-to-SOR gap on critical readiness tooling, which can distort price comparability if left unresolved. The governance-heavy submission architecture suggests this contest will be won as much by bid discipline as by site capability
2) PLL’s Dahej PDH-PP upstream powder EPC bid due date extended 8The extension keeps process-risk in play even as it buys bidders time. The missing piece is why the date moved and whether the opening/award discipline tightens behind it
3) PPU offsite polypropylene project at Kochi keeps qualification calls opaque while deferring key vendor and rack data to award stage 8EIL’s pre-bid replies for BPCL Kochi’s PPU offsite package lock down some SOR interpretations but keep the most participation-critical question unanswered.
Feb 11: 1) BPCL’s BPREP carbon steel columns tender draws 13 technical bidders 8The 13-bidder technical opening sets up a contest where execution governance, not just fabrication capacity, could decide who survives evaluation.
2) GAILl’s Pata LLDPE-II and new Butene-I handling tender moves to price battle after 7 of 8 clear technical gate 8The petrochem handling package is being treated like a reliability contract, with documentation rules that leave little room for post-bid patchwork.
3) Three-bidder field emerges for EIL’s special-purpose process compressor package 8A three-player field typically increases the value of references and package completeness over tactical discounting. The next filter will be who stays “clean” under techno-commercial scrutiny.
Feb 11: 1) Refinery locks a compressed DHDS shutdown window into a two-year framework for three-reactor catalyst changeout 8Three reactors must be opened and turned around in parallel on a continuous basis within a tightly staged shutdown-execution-startup sequence. The two-year contract period masks a short, high-intensity maintenance window where discovery risk is anticipated only after reactors are opened
2) IOCL’s GRE–GRSPF arc turns into an outage-response instrument, with round-the-clock breakdown clauses baked in 8The technical posture tightens with TIG-only pressure-part welding and permit-gated execution in hazardous operating areas, which quietly narrows the feasible vendor pool.
Feb 11: 1) Multiphase pumping at GGS is a flow-assurance contract, not a simple pump hire 8The design window is built around low liquid rates and high gas variability, where marginal multiphase claims break first. 8Seasonal discharge pressure and surge allowances force bidders to show real operating robustness, not paper curves. 8The tender’s language hints that “acceptable” will be judged on stability, not just delivery. Also “occasional 100% gas cut” demand at Kalol GGS XI is the bidder filter hiding in plain sight
2) ONGC awards five-year hot oil circulation unit hiring across Mehsana, Ahmedabad and Jorhat assets 8ONGC has split its five-year hot oil circulation unit hiring across assets, with schedulewise awards that point to sharply different fleet economics between Mehsana, Ahmedabad and Jorhat. 8A bidder’s push for stricter OEM gatekeeping collided with ONGC’s preference for inspection-led enforceability, leaving quality policing to TPI and document discipline.
3) Bidder clarification trail is missing in ONGC’s KG-DWN-98/2 Project-A clearance PQC 8ONGC’s Project-A clearance package reads like a full-stack regulator campaign. 8The documents hard-allocate field-study logistics cost to the consultant while keeping LD teeth for bidder-attributable delays.
4) ONGC extends captive ISTS wind 250 MW LSTK tender 8A separate amendment quietly eases one post-award choke point by doubling the security deposit submission window from 15 to 30 days. 8The bigger story is how the tender keeps performance validation and cashflow leverage tightly coupled despite repeated bidder pushback.
5) OIL India extends CTU–NPU–FPU well servicing package tender 8The revised BEC quietly re-engineers participation by allowing one or two sets while retaining three-set operational coverage through splitting. 8The market response to this calibrated flexibility will determine whether OIL has solved its bidder-depth puzzle.
