Oil India’s Dandewala GSU EPC tender is extended with EMD cut and BEC-BRC rewired

Feb 04: 8Oil India has pushed the Dandewala gas sweetening unit bid deadline out again, taking the package 133 days beyond its original closing date.
8The latest extension is bundled with a quieter but sharper move: bid security is reduced while qualification proof is tightened around desert-ready, continuously operated CO2 separation technology.

E&P contracting brief for the day

Feb 04: 1) ONGC tightens exchanger maintenance discipline with pay-cut levers and “brand new” hydro-jetting rules
8It is not just buying manpower for 22 well-fluid preheaters; it is buying a prescribed maintenance method, right down to tooling and chemistry.
8The tender’s most consequential control is not qualification paperwork but deduction-trigger clauses that convert on-site deviations into immediate revenue hits.
 
2) OIL frames upper assam tubular running services as an auditable, kpi-driven completion integrity packag
8The tender seeds measurable running-time norms and torque-turn traceability as the backbone of completion execution.
8It also shifts connection-damage exposure toward the contractor well before commercial terms are even visible.
 
3) ONGC extends deadline for for Sagar Gaurav high risk spud can repair package
8ONGC is buying a high-risk, high-interface repair outcome under a turnkey wrapper: dredging for safe docking, port clearances and husbandry, engineering-design, procurement actions (including permits/approvals), and the full class approval pathway sit with the contractor
 
4) SunPetro extends 50T workover rig callout tender
8The extension looks less like generosity and more like a bid-compliance and participation salvage move in a documentation-heavy rig package.
8The small mismatch between “two weeks” framing and the calendar shift is the kind of detail that decides who stays compliant and who gets filtered out.
 
5) Tender deadline pushed ahead as ONGC seeks multi-location reservoir field services
8The extension is, buying bidders time on a contract that demands simultaneous delivery across four operating theatres.
8The real pinch points are not just rates, but HPHT-ready deployment capacity, strict documentation gates, and reverse auction mechanics that can thin the field.
8What the extension is really signalling about participation and risk-transfer sits beneath the surface.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Feb 04: 1) Polyester industrial yarn derivatives market study
8There is a winner
 
2) IOCL’s Gujarat refinery confined space entry supervision award lands with a tied L1 and a compliance-heavy shutdown scope
8The contract forces contractors to carry payroll governance, PPE/IFR compliance and round-the-clock staffing risk while the owner retains EIC-driven discretion.

Details

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Feb 04: 1) This refinery locks in a governance-heavy DHDS shutdown tender
8The refiner is framing its DHDS turnaround less as a rate contract and more as an auditable execution system. The tender hard-wires shift accountability, leak-free reassembly discipline, and in-refinery exchanger yard capability into the contractor’s risk stack.
 
2) Company hardwires 24x7 mechanical static readiness into a three-year refinery ARC
8It looks like a routine maintenance ARC, but the clause design quietly turns it into a capacity-reservation contract. The scope bundles certified metallurgy work, safety governance, and always-on standby expectations into one price path that will be stress-tested in reverse auction.
 
3) Owner tightens OEM-bound heater refurbishment for BS-VI MSG revamp reliability
8This tender hard-binds a heater repair to “as-original” metallurgy and electrical performance while keeping acceptance control at the OEM shop. The fine print signals a deliberate choice between price discovery and reliability certainty, and the trade-off is where the real story sits.
 
4) Refiner’s pipelines seeks advanced FFS and FEA-led integrity evaluation to decide safe operation limits for pipeline defects
8The owner is buying analytical authority, not inspection activity, by outsourcing defect acceptability decisions tied to global FFS standards and level III simulations.
 
5) This 20 TDP CBG site development tender hardwires process discipline and screens out EMD-short bidders
8This is like a compliance stress test rather than a routine earthwork package.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Feb 04: 1) BPREP carbon steel columns/towers tender stretches 103 days on 9 extensions, with site-assembly cost floors tightening bidder behaviour
8Nine deadline extensions push the bid close by 103 days, a participation signal that rarely stays “just administrative.
 
2) NRL stretches RPTU instrumentation bid deadline
8The final move lands alongside an attachment of bidder query responses, tightening the tender basis late in the cycle. The timeline signals a participation-and-clarification squeeze that could reshape bid aggression and interface risk pricing
 
3) Naphtha cracker shutdown rate contract pushes phased mobilisation and six-month wage reimbursement, as the bid date slips
8The real tightening is inside the execution governance. The sow loads contractors with phased mobilisation readiness, safety policing, and micro-interface liabilities that usually surface only after incidents.
 
4) CPCL’s 100 mw RTC renewables pre-feasibility tender sees repeated close-date pushes
8This is as QCBS gates narrow the advisor pool
 
5) CPCL’s GUIDE framework CRO tender extension shifts the clock
8But keeps the risk posture unchanged
 
6) IOCL extends bid for naphtha cracker shutdown maintenance
8Keeping reverse auction pressure intact

E&P contracting brief for the day

Feb 03: 1) ONGC tests indigenous 40/70 type-III low strength proppant supply chain ahead of frac demand
8ONGC’s WSS Ahmedabad is probing whether India’s proppant makers can hold type-III 40/70 performance limits under a corporate-spec test regime.
 
2) 2D broadband offshore seismic award throws up a 26.0% L2 gap
8The pricing spread that signals a very different risk view between L-1 and the rest of the field.
 
3) Gas genset hiring for SRP wells: Bid analysis
8It was a narrow L-1-L2 gap
 
4) ONGC awards MODU-1989 LQ HVAC ducting retrofit on Sagar rigs as L1 undercuts L2 by 83.2%
8ONGC’s MODU-1989 compliance retrofit for LQ HVAC ducting on four offshore rigs has landed with a pricing split that’s hard to ignore.
 
5) ONGC ILM turnkey rig services re-wired
8The corrigendum does not change the ILM rig scope, but it changes who can realistically win it.
 
6) ONGC offshore cementing services tender extends unpriced bid opening
8ONGC has moved the unpriced techno-commercial bid opening.
8The bigger signal is what did not change: the contractor still carries planning, lab validation, and rig-side interface accountability across ERD, HPHT and deepwater cementing exposure.
8Whether this is a participation-relief move or an internal process-control reset is the part bidders will read between the lines.

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Feb 03: 1) Two bidders clear technical gate in IOCL’s panipat refinery heat tracer O&M tender after six participate
8IOCL’s panipat refinery heat tracer package has collapsed into a two-bidder technical race, with four bidders knocked out before commercials even matter.
 
2) GMPL tightens the field to three in PTA plant operations assistance bid
8It is a commissioning-to-stabilization control contract with penalties and redeployment authority baked into the core. Nine bidders came in, but only three survived technical evaluation

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 03: 1) Refinery expansion tender hard-cuts assured quantity cover while forcing L1 rate-matching across three shutdown piping packages
8The technical challenge is not just piping tonnage, but brownfield interfaces and round-the-clock delivery where the risk philosophy is written into the procurement mechanics.
 
2) EIL tightens compressor operating envelope and bid-time interface disclosures in latest amendment for PLL PP project
8The package quietly resets the machine’s operating pressures and formalises the condensate handling philosophy. The bigger signal is not the numbers, but the new demand that bidders quantify installation and insulation assumptions even where execution is pushed to the site contractor.
 
3) HPCL LMBU cooling tower package amendment strips six-month chemical dosing O&M tail
8The tender has quietly redrawn the boundary between EPC delivery and early-life operations.
 
4) Petronet LNG’s Dahej PDH–PP DG set tender extends bid deadline, keeping reverse auction and stacked PBG risk intact
8Petronet LNG and eil have pushed the DG set package bid due date out by 14 days, but the tender’s risk architecture stays fully switched on.
 
5) BPCL shifts Bina refinery energy optimization into execution mode with a 3-year EPCM-PMC bid that hardens scope and security rules
8The scope reads like an execution-risk transfer onto the PMC.
 
6) BPCL buys crane-and-equipment uptime at Kochi refinery, but a 2-day bid extension hints at schedule friction
8The real story is how BPCL’s governance-heavy structure reshapes bidder behaviour long before prices are even compared.
 
7) NRL tightens Assam-office gate for PIH PMC package
8It is shaping into a site-supervision contract with hard deployment expectations and limited relaxation levers.

BPCL’s Mumbai refinery GTU revamp consultancy lands with EIL

Feb 02: 8BPCL has awarded the Mumbai refinery GTU revamp consultancy to EIL, but the bigger story is the project’s pivot from a new GTU case to a revamp economics rewrite. The scope ties licensor inputs to LP, capex/IRR cases, and DFR updates that feed environmental clearance workstreams. With only one qualified bidder disclosed, the award looks more like vendor concentration than price discovery.

Thirty-four extensions later, the holds the line on risk in this green hydrogen transmission bid

Feb 02: 8After thirty-four deadline extensions, the company has shifted the clock again on one of India’s most ambitious green hydrogen transmission projects.
8The scope remains untouched, the securities remain locked, and the schedule remains unforgiving.
8What this says about bidder appetite, tariff realism, and future hydrogen corridors is where the real story begins.

NRL's contracting brief

Feb 02: 1) Two bidders enter EIL’s RG condenser race for NRL’s polypropylene unit project
8The bid frame hard-bakes PPP-MII local class eligibility and buyer-approved TPIA oversight, signalling a governance-first approach to exchanger quality risk. What matters next is not the headcount of bidders, but how the hidden datasheet constraints and inspection hold points reshape who can actually clear technical compliance.
 
2) BOQ split flips L1 across scope baskets in NRL’s NREP EPCM-1 MS block instrumentation award
8The package did not just end in a routine L1 story; the pricing ranks invert between boq1 and boq2. One basket is separated by a normal competitive gap, while the other shows a spread so wide it changes the risk profile of the award. The procurement calendar, stretched through repeated addenda, hints that bidders were pricing uncertainty as much as steel and cable.
 
3) NRL’s NREP instrumentation package sees split L1s across BOQ1 and BOQ2
8The tender closed after a long chain of deadline extensions that kept the baseline intact but pushed bidder validity economics into late 2025. The award table shows a clean competition on BOQ1, but an extreme bifurcation on BOQ2 that hints bidders were not pricing the same obligation.

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Feb 02: 1) GAIL’s NCR pipelines GRA and HARZOP bid tightens the technical gate as only 3 of 9 clear evaluation
8This is a massive 2,000 km NCR pipeline grid. A hard software-and-methodology spine sits beneath the bid, while bidder attempts to soften liability and dispute clauses were bluntly deflected.
 
2) GAIL narrows VSPL LPG pipeline HARZOP–QRA field to five qualifiers
8The tender is not being decided on glossy methodology decks, but on hard proof: executed orders, compulsory checklists, and licensed modelling software.
 
3) GAIL’s Jamnagar–loni pipeline expansion PMC tender draws just two technical bids
8GAIL has structured its JLPL capacity expansion PMC tender with a pipeline-scale experience gate that naturally compresses the field. The technical opening record shows only two admitted bidders, both legacy PSU consultancies. The real story now is how the tender’s schedule-risk posture and “no consortium” architecture will shape downstream competition.
 
4) GAIL’s Uran Usar pipeline package draws eight technical submissions after date extension, with working-capital clause sanitised
8The next filter will be whether the bidder pool holds after HDD capability and compliance scrutiny.
 
5) EIL’s BPREP CS pressure vessel tender draws 26 technical bidders as evaluation begins
8The real separation will come from how bidders handle inspection gates, documentation discipline, and delivery assurance under an 08-month site-receipt-defined clock.

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 02: 1) BPCL Mumbai refinery’s engineering consultancy ARC gets deadline extension as manhour caps and a 25% option clause tighten bidder risk
8A late-cycle extension window and a 25% quantity/duration option clause shift bid-day strategy and volume risk at the same time. The real contest will be who can price the “as-site data + fast turnaround” burden without bleeding margins.
 
2) GAIL extends Moga paddy straw CBG plant PMC tender, pares back approvals ownership language
8The more revealing move sits inside the SOW: permissions and statutory-approval wording is tightened, and a paragraph that pinned approvals as the pmc’s “responsibility” is deleted. The package now reads like a deliberate risk-map cleanup ahead of close, with cashflow and scope-elasticity levers still intact.
 
3)  BPCL’s NHGU (and SRU) STG package tightens performance gates, but bidders expose scope-labelling risk
8With only three serious bidders in the room, BPCL’s next written clarifications will decide whether this stays a tight OEM contest or turns into a deviation-heavy bid fight.

8The latest extension is bundled with a quieter but sharper move: bid security is reduced while qualification proof is tightened around desert-ready, continuously operated CO2 separation technology.

E&P contracting brief for the day

Feb 04: 1) ONGC tightens exchanger maintenance discipline with pay-cut levers and “brand new” hydro-jetting rules
8It is not just buying manpower for 22 well-fluid preheaters; it is buying a prescribed maintenance method, right down to tooling and chemistry.
8The tender’s most consequential control is not qualification paperwork but deduction-trigger clauses that convert on-site deviations into immediate revenue hits.
 
2) OIL frames upper assam tubular running services as an auditable, kpi-driven completion integrity packag
8The tender seeds measurable running-time norms and torque-turn traceability as the backbone of completion execution.
8It also shifts connection-damage exposure toward the contractor well before commercial terms are even visible.
 
3) ONGC extends deadline for for Sagar Gaurav high risk spud can repair package
8ONGC is buying a high-risk, high-interface repair outcome under a turnkey wrapper: dredging for safe docking, port clearances and husbandry, engineering-design, procurement actions (including permits/approvals), and the full class approval pathway sit with the contractor
 
4) SunPetro extends 50T workover rig callout tender
8The extension looks less like generosity and more like a bid-compliance and participation salvage move in a documentation-heavy rig package.
8The small mismatch between “two weeks” framing and the calendar shift is the kind of detail that decides who stays compliant and who gets filtered out.
 
5) Tender deadline pushed ahead as ONGC seeks multi-location reservoir field services
8The extension is, buying bidders time on a contract that demands simultaneous delivery across four operating theatres.
8The real pinch points are not just rates, but HPHT-ready deployment capacity, strict documentation gates, and reverse auction mechanics that can thin the field.
8What the extension is really signalling about participation and risk-transfer sits beneath the surface.

8The contract forces contractors to carry payroll governance, PPE/IFR compliance and round-the-clock staffing risk while the owner retains EIC-driven discretion.

Click on Details for more
Details

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Feb 04: 1) This refinery locks in a governance-heavy DHDS shutdown tender
8The refiner is framing its DHDS turnaround less as a rate contract and more as an auditable execution system. The tender hard-wires shift accountability, leak-free reassembly discipline, and in-refinery exchanger yard capability into the contractor’s risk stack.
 
2) Company hardwires 24x7 mechanical static readiness into a three-year refinery ARC
8It looks like a routine maintenance ARC, but the clause design quietly turns it into a capacity-reservation contract. The scope bundles certified metallurgy work, safety governance, and always-on standby expectations into one price path that will be stress-tested in reverse auction.
 
3) Owner tightens OEM-bound heater refurbishment for BS-VI MSG revamp reliability
8This tender hard-binds a heater repair to “as-original” metallurgy and electrical performance while keeping acceptance control at the OEM shop. The fine print signals a deliberate choice between price discovery and reliability certainty, and the trade-off is where the real story sits.
 
4) Refiner’s pipelines seeks advanced FFS and FEA-led integrity evaluation to decide safe operation limits for pipeline defects
8The owner is buying analytical authority, not inspection activity, by outsourcing defect acceptability decisions tied to global FFS standards and level III simulations.
 
5) This 20 TDP CBG site development tender hardwires process discipline and screens out EMD-short bidders
8This is like a compliance stress test rather than a routine earthwork package.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Feb 04: 1) BPREP carbon steel columns/towers tender stretches 103 days on 9 extensions, with site-assembly cost floors tightening bidder behaviour
8Nine deadline extensions push the bid close by 103 days, a participation signal that rarely stays “just administrative.
 
2) NRL stretches RPTU instrumentation bid deadline
8The final move lands alongside an attachment of bidder query responses, tightening the tender basis late in the cycle. The timeline signals a participation-and-clarification squeeze that could reshape bid aggression and interface risk pricing
 
3) Naphtha cracker shutdown rate contract pushes phased mobilisation and six-month wage reimbursement, as the bid date slips
8The real tightening is inside the execution governance. The sow loads contractors with phased mobilisation readiness, safety policing, and micro-interface liabilities that usually surface only after incidents.
 
4) CPCL’s 100 mw RTC renewables pre-feasibility tender sees repeated close-date pushes
8This is as QCBS gates narrow the advisor pool
 
5) CPCL’s GUIDE framework CRO tender extension shifts the clock
8But keeps the risk posture unchanged
 
6) IOCL extends bid for naphtha cracker shutdown maintenance
8Keeping reverse auction pressure intact

8ONGC’s WSS Ahmedabad is probing whether India’s proppant makers can hold type-III 40/70 performance limits under a corporate-spec test regime.
 
2) 2D broadband offshore seismic award throws up a 26.0% L2 gap
8The pricing spread that signals a very different risk view between L-1 and the rest of the field.
 
3) Gas genset hiring for SRP wells: Bid analysis
8It was a narrow L-1-L2 gap
 
4) ONGC awards MODU-1989 LQ HVAC ducting retrofit on Sagar rigs as L1 undercuts L2 by 83.2%
8ONGC’s MODU-1989 compliance retrofit for LQ HVAC ducting on four offshore rigs has landed with a pricing split that’s hard to ignore.
 
5) ONGC ILM turnkey rig services re-wired
8The corrigendum does not change the ILM rig scope, but it changes who can realistically win it.
 
6) ONGC offshore cementing services tender extends unpriced bid opening
8ONGC has moved the unpriced techno-commercial bid opening.
8The bigger signal is what did not change: the contractor still carries planning, lab validation, and rig-side interface accountability across ERD, HPHT and deepwater cementing exposure.
8Whether this is a participation-relief move or an internal process-control reset is the part bidders will read between the lines.

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 03: 1) Refinery expansion tender hard-cuts assured quantity cover while forcing L1 rate-matching across three shutdown piping packages
8The technical challenge is not just piping tonnage, but brownfield interfaces and round-the-clock delivery where the risk philosophy is written into the procurement mechanics.
 
2) EIL tightens compressor operating envelope and bid-time interface disclosures in latest amendment for PLL PP project
8The package quietly resets the machine’s operating pressures and formalises the condensate handling philosophy. The bigger signal is not the numbers, but the new demand that bidders quantify installation and insulation assumptions even where execution is pushed to the site contractor.
 
3) HPCL LMBU cooling tower package amendment strips six-month chemical dosing O&M tail
8The tender has quietly redrawn the boundary between EPC delivery and early-life operations.
 
4) Petronet LNG’s Dahej PDH–PP DG set tender extends bid deadline, keeping reverse auction and stacked PBG risk intact
8Petronet LNG and eil have pushed the DG set package bid due date out by 14 days, but the tender’s risk architecture stays fully switched on.
 
5) BPCL shifts Bina refinery energy optimization into execution mode with a 3-year EPCM-PMC bid that hardens scope and security rules
8The scope reads like an execution-risk transfer onto the PMC.
 
6) BPCL buys crane-and-equipment uptime at Kochi refinery, but a 2-day bid extension hints at schedule friction
8The real story is how BPCL’s governance-heavy structure reshapes bidder behaviour long before prices are even compared.
 
7) NRL tightens Assam-office gate for PIH PMC package
8It is shaping into a site-supervision contract with hard deployment expectations and limited relaxation levers.

BPCL’s Mumbai refinery GTU revamp consultancy lands with EIL

Feb 02: 8BPCL has awarded the Mumbai refinery GTU revamp consultancy to EIL, but the bigger story is the project’s pivot from a new GTU case to a revamp economics rewrite. The scope ties licensor inputs to LP, capex/IRR cases, and DFR updates that feed environmental clearance workstreams. With only one qualified bidder disclosed, the award looks more like vendor concentration than price discovery.

Thirty-four extensions later, the holds the line on risk in this green hydrogen transmission bid

Feb 02: 8After thirty-four deadline extensions, the company has shifted the clock again on one of India’s most ambitious green hydrogen transmission projects.
8The scope remains untouched, the securities remain locked, and the schedule remains unforgiving.
8What this says about bidder appetite, tariff realism, and future hydrogen corridors is where the real story begins.

NRL's contracting brief

Feb 02: 1) Two bidders enter EIL’s RG condenser race for NRL’s polypropylene unit project
8The bid frame hard-bakes PPP-MII local class eligibility and buyer-approved TPIA oversight, signalling a governance-first approach to exchanger quality risk. What matters next is not the headcount of bidders, but how the hidden datasheet constraints and inspection hold points reshape who can actually clear technical compliance.
 
2) BOQ split flips L1 across scope baskets in NRL’s NREP EPCM-1 MS block instrumentation award
8The package did not just end in a routine L1 story; the pricing ranks invert between boq1 and boq2. One basket is separated by a normal competitive gap, while the other shows a spread so wide it changes the risk profile of the award. The procurement calendar, stretched through repeated addenda, hints that bidders were pricing uncertainty as much as steel and cable.
 
3) NRL’s NREP instrumentation package sees split L1s across BOQ1 and BOQ2
8The tender closed after a long chain of deadline extensions that kept the baseline intact but pushed bidder validity economics into late 2025. The award table shows a clean competition on BOQ1, but an extreme bifurcation on BOQ2 that hints bidders were not pricing the same obligation.

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Feb 02: 1) GAIL’s NCR pipelines GRA and HARZOP bid tightens the technical gate as only 3 of 9 clear evaluation
8This is a massive 2,000 km NCR pipeline grid. A hard software-and-methodology spine sits beneath the bid, while bidder attempts to soften liability and dispute clauses were bluntly deflected.
 
2) GAIL narrows VSPL LPG pipeline HARZOP–QRA field to five qualifiers
8The tender is not being decided on glossy methodology decks, but on hard proof: executed orders, compulsory checklists, and licensed modelling software.
 
3) GAIL’s Jamnagar–loni pipeline expansion PMC tender draws just two technical bids
8GAIL has structured its JLPL capacity expansion PMC tender with a pipeline-scale experience gate that naturally compresses the field. The technical opening record shows only two admitted bidders, both legacy PSU consultancies. The real story now is how the tender’s schedule-risk posture and “no consortium” architecture will shape downstream competition.
 
4) GAIL’s Uran Usar pipeline package draws eight technical submissions after date extension, with working-capital clause sanitised
8The next filter will be whether the bidder pool holds after HDD capability and compliance scrutiny.
 
5) EIL’s BPREP CS pressure vessel tender draws 26 technical bidders as evaluation begins
8The real separation will come from how bidders handle inspection gates, documentation discipline, and delivery assurance under an 08-month site-receipt-defined clock.

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 02: 1) BPCL Mumbai refinery’s engineering consultancy ARC gets deadline extension as manhour caps and a 25% option clause tighten bidder risk
8A late-cycle extension window and a 25% quantity/duration option clause shift bid-day strategy and volume risk at the same time. The real contest will be who can price the “as-site data + fast turnaround” burden without bleeding margins.
 
2) GAIL extends Moga paddy straw CBG plant PMC tender, pares back approvals ownership language
8The more revealing move sits inside the SOW: permissions and statutory-approval wording is tightened, and a paragraph that pinned approvals as the pmc’s “responsibility” is deleted. The package now reads like a deliberate risk-map cleanup ahead of close, with cashflow and scope-elasticity levers still intact.
 
3)  BPCL’s NHGU (and SRU) STG package tightens performance gates, but bidders expose scope-labelling risk
8With only three serious bidders in the room, BPCL’s next written clarifications will decide whether this stays a tight OEM contest or turns into a deviation-heavy bid fight.
