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: Awards
Feb 03: 1) GAIL awards QRA and Hazop study for NCR pipelines 8Find out what happened
2) IOCL awards CRZ-EC clearance consultancy for 16-inch Mangalore terminal–berth 12 pipeline 8The winning bid lands far above the owner’s estimate, signalling that bidders priced approval risk rather than just report-writing
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
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.
