8The official statements are reassuring. Total fertilizer reserves stood at 177.31 lakh tonnes as of 6 March, up 36.5% year on year. The Fertilizer Association of India says stocks are adequate for Kharif. The Department of Fertilizers says farmers are the priority and their interests will not be compromised. All of this is true, and none of it is the whole story.
8Twelve days after the Strait of Hormuz closed — effectively if not formally, de facto if not de jure — India’s fertilizer sector is in the early stages of a supply and cost crisis that will reach peak intensity precisely when the country needs fertilizer most: in April and May, when kharif procurement must be locked in, and in June, when sowing begins. The calm visible in the inventory numbers today is real. It is also temporary. What follows is an attempt to state clearly, product by product, what is actually happening and what it means.
No one provides an update on the crisis like we do

2) ONGC’s oil well cement rate contract deadline pushed forward as packaging and logistics issues remain unresolved
8ONGC has extended the closing date of its three-year oil well cement tender.
8The extension follows earlier adjustments in the tender timeline and comes amid bidder concerns over packaging specifications and supply logistics.
8Behind the schedule shift lies a deeper question about how suppliers will price long-term drilling materials under firm-rate conditions. 
3) ONGC is tightening up its western offshore communication backbone
8It is finally recasting it as production-critical infrastructure 
4) Site restoration fund: Not as simple as it sound
8It involves a closure-cost architecture that spans well abandonment, pipeline retirement, process facility dismantling, civil removal, environmental-safe disposal and salvage offsetting as this exercise is proving out to be.
