Refinery shutdowns: Our own take

Feb 09: 1) CDU, VDU and VBU shutdown windows anchor a two-year maintenance cycle
8This is a planned series of shutdowns across CDU, VDU and VBU across this IOCL refinery rather than routine upkeep, with execution windows defined by outage availability rather than contract length. Mechanical and cleaning works appear only as evidence that key process equipment will be opened during these maintenance windows.
 
2) Multi-unit shutdown preparation spans core conversion, treating, and offsite systems in Paradip
8The scope explicitly spans INDMAX, NHT-CCR, AVU, CPP, ROG-PSA, SARU, Alkylation, Butamer, DCU, VGO-DHDT, PP, MEG and PRU units, indicating a broad refinery-wide shutdown envelope rather than a single-unit intervention. This unit spread suggests coordinated inspection planning across both conversion and downstream polymer systems.
 
3) Annual shutdown windows of 12–15 days define the core operating constraint in this gas based plant
8This pegs plant intervention to tightly bounded annual shutdowns, each lasting roughly 12–15 days per unit. This signals deliberate outage planning rather than opportunistic maintenance, with work compressed into predefined availability windows rather than spread across live operations. This involves C2C3 Recovery, LPG plants and compressor stations.
 
4) Multi-unit outage of cracker and swing units ahead
8This involves the NCU and SWING units, indicating that the shutdown workload spans more than a single operating area. Whether these outages are simultaneous or staggered is not specified, but the tender is structured to support constrained unit availability across both. Execution trades remain secondary to the fact that multiple units require access during outage conditions.
 
5) Short-duration unit outages structured around opportunity maintenance windows in Gujarat refinery
8There is a need for immediate shutdown responsiveness, covering emergency and opportunity outages rather than fixed turnaround events. Multiple units may be taken offline with little notice, requiring rapid mobilisation once equipment is opened.
 
6) Staggered unit outages across three boilers and three HRSGs
8By allowing capital maintenance to be executed “in any particular boiler,” what is indicated is staggered shutdowns rather than simultaneous outages. This sequencing limits systemic risk while still enabling deep internal access to high-temperature systems.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Feb 09: 1) Licensor-enlisted vendors only for 2150 kw polymeriser reactor system
8The owner’s polypropylene build puts the polymeriser reactor at the centre of its risk strategy, bundling process design, FEA, and performance guarantees into a single package. The eligibility screen is unusually tight, demanding current Lummus Novolen enlistment and a narrowly defined reference reactor configuration.
 
2) Ambient air heater project electrical tender and protection-spec clarifications harden
8A portal-level EMD exemption fix and a decisive call on MCCB technology reduce bid ambiguity while tightening standardisation.
 
3) Batch pushing green ammonia via pipeline: Basic P&IDs for new facilities and lab-validated materials compatibility spelled out

8Find out more
 
4) PMC for pipelines: Pushing hard
8Owner looking for corridor-scale pipeline supervision, down to stretch-length thresholds and station execution exposure.
 
5) AVU and VGO-HDT: Corrosion to be assessed
8The closing date extension buys bidders time, but it does not dilute the narrow “similar work” definition that screens out generalists. A quiet verification hook—coordinator contacts for feedback checks—reshapes who can bid with confidence and who risks being exposed.
 
6) Owner keeps DSF-IV technical consultant bid tight on timeline, data liability and payroll scoring
8The operator locks a 35-day draft report clock while confirming interpretation and petrophysical analysis sit with the consultant. Bidders pressed for contract-area and dataset visibility, but the responses largely push them back to the sow without fresh disclosure.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Feb 09: 1) GAIL start-up valuation pane: Three firms clearing qualification
8The contract architecture quietly bakes in repeat valuations at half-fee and hard delivery clocks that favour high-throughput valuation machines.
 
2) Trader clinches IOCL Paradip refinery’s open access power trader mandate, but the bid spread screams scope-risk mis-pricing
8This power trading services award landed on a price that sits in a different universe from the rest of the market.

E&P contracting brief for the day

Feb 09: 1) Three bidders clear technical gates as one drops out in ONGC’s Rajahmundry onshore drilling rigs protection-calibration tender
8With one participated bidder disqualified and three qualified, technical gatekeeping is already reshaping competition before financial evaluation
 
2) Corrigendum-II rewires towing milestone payments into utilisation-linked formulas in ONGC’s Sagar Gaurav spud can repair tender
8ONGC has re-cut the most dispute-prone part of the sagar gaurav repair contract: the towing and dry dock access cashflow.
8The corrigendum introduces a utilisation-weighted payment logic that can deny money for non-used towing legs while keeping LD deductions intact.
 
3) ONGC PSV build tender pushed again
8The next two weeks will reveal whether shipyards price in governance friction or bet on compliance-by-template.
 
4) Offshore cementing services tender closing extended
8The extension buys bidders time to clear third-party verification and supplier tie-up burdens that can decide who even reaches the shortlist.
8The real story is what ONGC is forcing the market to prove before it ever opens the price envelope.
 
5) ONGC extends its five-year coil tubing charter bid deadline
8ONGC’s coil tubing charter is being held open longer, even as the scope embeds cloud-grade monitoring and GPS-linked deductions.
8The “no minimum job guarantee” clause shifts utilisation risk sharply onto bidders while demanding full readiness.
8What looks like a simple extension may actually reflect fleet compliance bottlenecks and governance-heavy bid gating.

Feb 06: 8The tender’s entry barriers sit in hard reference-unit PQC and a liability-heavy guarantee framework that forces bidders to price engineering bandwidth and downside upfront.

IOCL Parallel HCU reactors tell you this shutdown has no slack

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 06: 1) NRL’s polypropylene unit tender prices in 3D modelling, HARZOP and three-year PWAMC for the solid additive unloading packagelimited/polypropylene unit
8The real competition signal will surface in how bidders react to the polymer-reference similarity bar and the lifecycle obligations embedded in the bid matrix.
 
2) Refinery expansion project pumps package sees four deadline extensions
8The documents show a compliance-heavy API 610 special purpose pump scope, layered with NDA-driven confidentiality linked to the ethylene cracker unit licensor framework. The real story is what the extensions imply about bidder appetite, spec readiness, and how BPCL/EIL are trying to protect competition without diluting rejection discipline.
 
3) IOCL extends LuPech N2O2 O&M ARC as corrigendum hardwires fixed-vs-variable pricing under RA
8A mid-stream corrigendum quietly changes how bidders must structure price—ringfencing a fixed bucket and forcing proportional loading of the rest after reverse auction. The real fight will be over operational attribution: who “owns” purity excursions when penalties hinge on proving it was panel/field operation, not the plant’s hardware.

Refinery shutdowns: Our own take

Feb 09: 1) CDU, VDU and VBU shutdown windows anchor a two-year maintenance cycle
8This is a planned series of shutdowns across CDU, VDU and VBU across this IOCL refinery rather than routine upkeep, with execution windows defined by outage availability rather than contract length. Mechanical and cleaning works appear only as evidence that key process equipment will be opened during these maintenance windows.
 
2) Multi-unit shutdown preparation spans core conversion, treating, and offsite systems in Paradip
8The scope explicitly spans INDMAX, NHT-CCR, AVU, CPP, ROG-PSA, SARU, Alkylation, Butamer, DCU, VGO-DHDT, PP, MEG and PRU units, indicating a broad refinery-wide shutdown envelope rather than a single-unit intervention. This unit spread suggests coordinated inspection planning across both conversion and downstream polymer systems.
 
3) Annual shutdown windows of 12–15 days define the core operating constraint in this gas based plant
8This pegs plant intervention to tightly bounded annual shutdowns, each lasting roughly 12–15 days per unit. This signals deliberate outage planning rather than opportunistic maintenance, with work compressed into predefined availability windows rather than spread across live operations. This involves C2C3 Recovery, LPG plants and compressor stations.
 
4) Multi-unit outage of cracker and swing units ahead
8This involves the NCU and SWING units, indicating that the shutdown workload spans more than a single operating area. Whether these outages are simultaneous or staggered is not specified, but the tender is structured to support constrained unit availability across both. Execution trades remain secondary to the fact that multiple units require access during outage conditions.
 
5) Short-duration unit outages structured around opportunity maintenance windows in Gujarat refinery
8There is a need for immediate shutdown responsiveness, covering emergency and opportunity outages rather than fixed turnaround events. Multiple units may be taken offline with little notice, requiring rapid mobilisation once equipment is opened.
 
6) Staggered unit outages across three boilers and three HRSGs
8By allowing capital maintenance to be executed “in any particular boiler,” what is indicated is staggered shutdowns rather than simultaneous outages. This sequencing limits systemic risk while still enabling deep internal access to high-temperature systems.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Feb 09: 1) Licensor-enlisted vendors only for 2150 kw polymeriser reactor system
8The owner’s polypropylene build puts the polymeriser reactor at the centre of its risk strategy, bundling process design, FEA, and performance guarantees into a single package. The eligibility screen is unusually tight, demanding current Lummus Novolen enlistment and a narrowly defined reference reactor configuration.
 
2) Ambient air heater project electrical tender and protection-spec clarifications harden
8A portal-level EMD exemption fix and a decisive call on MCCB technology reduce bid ambiguity while tightening standardisation.
 
3) Batch pushing green ammonia via pipeline: Basic P&IDs for new facilities and lab-validated materials compatibility spelled out

8Find out more
 
4) PMC for pipelines: Pushing hard
8Owner looking for corridor-scale pipeline supervision, down to stretch-length thresholds and station execution exposure.
 
5) AVU and VGO-HDT: Corrosion to be assessed
8The closing date extension buys bidders time, but it does not dilute the narrow “similar work” definition that screens out generalists. A quiet verification hook—coordinator contacts for feedback checks—reshapes who can bid with confidence and who risks being exposed.
 
6) Owner keeps DSF-IV technical consultant bid tight on timeline, data liability and payroll scoring
8The operator locks a 35-day draft report clock while confirming interpretation and petrophysical analysis sit with the consultant. Bidders pressed for contract-area and dataset visibility, but the responses largely push them back to the sow without fresh disclosure.

8This power trading services award landed on a price that sits in a different universe from the rest of the market.

E&P contracting brief for the day

Feb 09: 1) Three bidders clear technical gates as one drops out in ONGC’s Rajahmundry onshore drilling rigs protection-calibration tender
8With one participated bidder disqualified and three qualified, technical gatekeeping is already reshaping competition before financial evaluation
 
2) Corrigendum-II rewires towing milestone payments into utilisation-linked formulas in ONGC’s Sagar Gaurav spud can repair tender
8ONGC has re-cut the most dispute-prone part of the sagar gaurav repair contract: the towing and dry dock access cashflow.
8The corrigendum introduces a utilisation-weighted payment logic that can deny money for non-used towing legs while keeping LD deductions intact.
 
3) ONGC PSV build tender pushed again
8The next two weeks will reveal whether shipyards price in governance friction or bet on compliance-by-template.
 
4) Offshore cementing services tender closing extended
8The extension buys bidders time to clear third-party verification and supplier tie-up burdens that can decide who even reaches the shortlist.
8The real story is what ONGC is forcing the market to prove before it ever opens the price envelope.
 
5) ONGC extends its five-year coil tubing charter bid deadline
8ONGC’s coil tubing charter is being held open longer, even as the scope embeds cloud-grade monitoring and GPS-linked deductions.
8The “no minimum job guarantee” clause shifts utilisation risk sharply onto bidders while demanding full readiness.
8What looks like a simple extension may actually reflect fleet compliance bottlenecks and governance-heavy bid gating.

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 06: 1) NRL’s polypropylene unit tender prices in 3D modelling, HARZOP and three-year PWAMC for the solid additive unloading packagelimited/polypropylene unit
8The real competition signal will surface in how bidders react to the polymer-reference similarity bar and the lifecycle obligations embedded in the bid matrix.
 
2) Refinery expansion project pumps package sees four deadline extensions
8The documents show a compliance-heavy API 610 special purpose pump scope, layered with NDA-driven confidentiality linked to the ethylene cracker unit licensor framework. The real story is what the extensions imply about bidder appetite, spec readiness, and how BPCL/EIL are trying to protect competition without diluting rejection discipline.
 
3) IOCL extends LuPech N2O2 O&M ARC as corrigendum hardwires fixed-vs-variable pricing under RA
8A mid-stream corrigendum quietly changes how bidders must structure price—ringfencing a fixed bucket and forcing proportional loading of the rest after reverse auction. The real fight will be over operational attribution: who “owns” purity excursions when penalties hinge on proving it was panel/field operation, not the plant’s hardware.
