E&P contracting brief for the day

Feb 10: 1) ONGC tightens artificial lift execution control with five-year Ahmedabad–Mehsana fleet gatekeeping
8ONGC is not just buying artificial lift services here; it is buying controllable execution capacity across two assets for five years.
 
2) OIL’s Rajasthan flowline tender hardwires test evidence into billing while tightening mobilisation cashflow
8Oil India Limited’s Rajasthan Project is not just buying welded flowlines; it is buying proof, with hydrotest charts stitched directly into the payment rhythm.
8Desert logistics, trenching discipline and inter-location movement quietly define who can execute this work.
 
3) ONGC Rajahmundry onshore drilling rigs protection testing contract amid unusually wide bid spread
8The award delivers an L1–L2 gap that is far wider than typical for a defined service scope.
8A late clarification on three-year price aggregation quietly reshapes how “low” the winning bid really is.
 
4) ONGC awards Level III rig inspection services for Ankleshwar asset rigs
8The award table shows an eye-watering spread between l1 and l2, a red flag that the market did not price the same job.
 
5) Participating bidders face ONGC’s hard five-year vintage wall in Cambay asset MBCU hiring
8ONGC’s cambay asset MBCU tender is being shaped less by price and more by fleet-age discipline and deduction-heavy performance control.
8A bidder’s push to relax vintage to 10–15 years runs into a categorical refusal framed as safety and availability risk.
8With three bidders marked qualified and one disqualified (as shared), the unanswered question is how many compliant young units actually exist in the market at scale.
 
6) Cairn screens rig, AHTS and PE vendor pool for Ravva and west coast blocks
8The capability-heavy EoI across drilling rigs, AHTS towing, PE services and surface facilities for Ravva and west coast blocks submission date was extended.
8The real gate is not the calendar but the filters: recent offshore drilling history, owned-vessel marine capacity with ISM compliance, and balance-sheet fitness thresholds.
8What the extension is actually trying to fix—participation, ambiguity, or sequencing—stays hidden until the corrigendum trail is visible.
 
7) Oil India extends anisotropic imaging consultancy for AN-OSHP-2018/1 Andaman
8The buyer has simultaneously hardened contractual control through an explicit option clause and ATC supremacy over standard terms.
8What remains opaque is whether the extension reflects market hesitation or unresolved technical complexity.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Feb 10: 1) GAIL’s VSPL LPG pipeline HAZOP–QRA award throws up a disqualification-versus-L1 anomaly and a 127.7% L2 price gap
8The L1 quote sits over 127% below L2, raising immediate questions on scope interpretation and deliverable depth. A second red flag is the bidder-status inconsistency in the lifecycle snapshot that could reshape how the market reads GAIL’s evaluation discipline.
 
2) Indomer takes IOCL Hopetown gas supply infra EC-CRZ consultancy as L2 sits 58.7% higher
8The award spread is unusually wide, and the pricing signal hints at a sharply different view of regulatory churn risk.
 
3) HPCL Visakh refinery closes CDU-III and FCCU-II RLA at a 0.1%

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Feb 10: 1) BPCL’s Piyala–Jewar ATF pipeline commissioning package narrows to four qualified bidders after technical evaluation
8One bidder has already fallen out at technical stage, leaving a four-player price fight with documentation discipline baked in. The quiet cost battle will sit inside nitrogen holding, pigging strategy, and procedural approvals—areas where many bidders under-price until execution bites.
 
2) GAIL tightens approvals risk for LMC to JSW Utkal Steel by qualifying 3 of 4 EIA–MIA–CRZ bidders
8Three of four bidders have crossed technical evaluation, leaving a live three-way contest where documentation discipline can matter as much as domain expertise. The disqualification is already shaping how the remaining bidders will play clarifications and defensibility.

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 10: 1) GAIL tightens its integrity-consulting vendor pool with software-and-audit ready enlistment for pipelines and GPUs
8The enlistment text bakes in licensed simulation capability and cloud-based document control, pushing smaller engineering shops into a capability gap they cannot paper over with resumes.
 
2) GAIL pushes Pata BOG compressor bid deadline twice
8This is an OEM-centric qualification screen that demands one-year operating references for API-618 packages. The bigger question is what the extensions reveal about bidder appetite—and whether GAIL will hold the line on entry barriers.
 
3) IOCL Digboi extends EOI timeline as it tests a “sell flue gas” model for CCU
8The vendor takes capture, transport and compliance ownership, while the refinery retains strategic flexibility to walk away. The deadline extension hints that qualification proof and end-use stitching may be tighter than the technical brief suggests.
 
4) IOCL extends SWING shutdown composite hot–cold–hydrojetting package deadline by four days
8The deadline move to 13 Feb 2026 subtly changes bidder governance: it buys time for certificate-heavy submissions, but reverse auction can still crush the last-mile number. The unanswered question is what participation or clarity gap forced the calendar to bend.
 
5) BPCL’s kochi refinery tightens PFCCU revamp DCS upgradation bid
8A late-stage option clause quietly rewrites the quantity-risk and delivery-planning equation for bidders. The pre-bid Q&A shows where execution costs are likely to surface, but the buyer’s answers don’t hand vendors much slack.

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.

E&P contracting brief for the day

Feb 10: 1) ONGC tightens artificial lift execution control with five-year Ahmedabad–Mehsana fleet gatekeeping
8ONGC is not just buying artificial lift services here; it is buying controllable execution capacity across two assets for five years.
 
2) OIL’s Rajasthan flowline tender hardwires test evidence into billing while tightening mobilisation cashflow
8Oil India Limited’s Rajasthan Project is not just buying welded flowlines; it is buying proof, with hydrotest charts stitched directly into the payment rhythm.
8Desert logistics, trenching discipline and inter-location movement quietly define who can execute this work.
 
3) ONGC Rajahmundry onshore drilling rigs protection testing contract amid unusually wide bid spread
8The award delivers an L1–L2 gap that is far wider than typical for a defined service scope.
8A late clarification on three-year price aggregation quietly reshapes how “low” the winning bid really is.
 
4) ONGC awards Level III rig inspection services for Ankleshwar asset rigs
8The award table shows an eye-watering spread between l1 and l2, a red flag that the market did not price the same job.
 
5) Participating bidders face ONGC’s hard five-year vintage wall in Cambay asset MBCU hiring
8ONGC’s cambay asset MBCU tender is being shaped less by price and more by fleet-age discipline and deduction-heavy performance control.
8A bidder’s push to relax vintage to 10–15 years runs into a categorical refusal framed as safety and availability risk.
8With three bidders marked qualified and one disqualified (as shared), the unanswered question is how many compliant young units actually exist in the market at scale.
 
6) Cairn screens rig, AHTS and PE vendor pool for Ravva and west coast blocks
8The capability-heavy EoI across drilling rigs, AHTS towing, PE services and surface facilities for Ravva and west coast blocks submission date was extended.
8The real gate is not the calendar but the filters: recent offshore drilling history, owned-vessel marine capacity with ISM compliance, and balance-sheet fitness thresholds.
8What the extension is actually trying to fix—participation, ambiguity, or sequencing—stays hidden until the corrigendum trail is visible.
 
7) Oil India extends anisotropic imaging consultancy for AN-OSHP-2018/1 Andaman
8The buyer has simultaneously hardened contractual control through an explicit option clause and ATC supremacy over standard terms.
8What remains opaque is whether the extension reflects market hesitation or unresolved technical complexity.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Feb 10: 1) GAIL’s VSPL LPG pipeline HAZOP–QRA award throws up a disqualification-versus-L1 anomaly and a 127.7% L2 price gap
8The L1 quote sits over 127% below L2, raising immediate questions on scope interpretation and deliverable depth. A second red flag is the bidder-status inconsistency in the lifecycle snapshot that could reshape how the market reads GAIL’s evaluation discipline.
 
2) Indomer takes IOCL Hopetown gas supply infra EC-CRZ consultancy as L2 sits 58.7% higher
8The award spread is unusually wide, and the pricing signal hints at a sharply different view of regulatory churn risk.
 
3) HPCL Visakh refinery closes CDU-III and FCCU-II RLA at a 0.1%

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Feb 10: 1) BPCL’s Piyala–Jewar ATF pipeline commissioning package narrows to four qualified bidders after technical evaluation
8One bidder has already fallen out at technical stage, leaving a four-player price fight with documentation discipline baked in. The quiet cost battle will sit inside nitrogen holding, pigging strategy, and procedural approvals—areas where many bidders under-price until execution bites.
 
2) GAIL tightens approvals risk for LMC to JSW Utkal Steel by qualifying 3 of 4 EIA–MIA–CRZ bidders
8Three of four bidders have crossed technical evaluation, leaving a live three-way contest where documentation discipline can matter as much as domain expertise. The disqualification is already shaping how the remaining bidders will play clarifications and defensibility.

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 10: 1) GAIL tightens its integrity-consulting vendor pool with software-and-audit ready enlistment for pipelines and GPUs
8The enlistment text bakes in licensed simulation capability and cloud-based document control, pushing smaller engineering shops into a capability gap they cannot paper over with resumes.
 
2) GAIL pushes Pata BOG compressor bid deadline twice
8This is an OEM-centric qualification screen that demands one-year operating references for API-618 packages. The bigger question is what the extensions reveal about bidder appetite—and whether GAIL will hold the line on entry barriers.
 
3) IOCL Digboi extends EOI timeline as it tests a “sell flue gas” model for CCU
8The vendor takes capture, transport and compliance ownership, while the refinery retains strategic flexibility to walk away. The deadline extension hints that qualification proof and end-use stitching may be tighter than the technical brief suggests.
 
4) IOCL extends SWING shutdown composite hot–cold–hydrojetting package deadline by four days
8The deadline move to 13 Feb 2026 subtly changes bidder governance: it buys time for certificate-heavy submissions, but reverse auction can still crush the last-mile number. The unanswered question is what participation or clarity gap forced the calendar to bend.
 
5) BPCL’s kochi refinery tightens PFCCU revamp DCS upgradation bid
8A late-stage option clause quietly rewrites the quantity-risk and delivery-planning equation for bidders. The pre-bid Q&A shows where execution costs are likely to surface, but the buyer’s answers don’t hand vendors much slack.

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

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.

2) Corrigendum-II rewires towing milestone payments into utilisation-linked formulas in ONGC’s Sagar Gaurav spud can repair tender

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.
