FOR INDIA’S OILFIELDS, IT’S SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT—OFFSHORE MARINE VESSELS MUST PROVE THEY BELONG India’s DGS draft sets the tone for a post-2028 offshore regime where emissions, inspection records, and engine data decide whether E&P vessels can even stay in the game. 8Rigs Must Go Green: MODUs Now Need Carbon Index Score to Stay Afloat Even rigs certified under MODU or SPS Code—previously exempt—must now pass the DGS’s Sustainability Indexing Score by March 2028. No scorecard, no Indian flag. 8DP2 or Not, Age Alone Won’t Save Offshore Workboats After 2028 India’s draft norms give DP2 vessels a path to operate till 30—but only if they pass annual OVID audits and achieve a sustainability score of 80+. The bar is higher than it looks. 8E&P Marine Units Face Hard Cap: No AHT, Tug, or Barge Allowed Past 25 Without Green Score Anchor-handling tugs, tow vessels, and dumb barges used in oilfield development must now meet strict age limits—or prove their efficiency through carbon and safety audits. 8Pipe-Lay and Seismic Vessels Now Need Annual Audits to Remain Licensed Even specialized offshore units must now undergo yearly inspections and meet DGS-approved green vetting standards. Compliance failure means GTL withdrawal. 8Indian EEZ Tightens Access: Foreign-Flagged OSVs for E&P Face Age and Audit Barriers Foreign OSVs used in Indian exploration blocks must meet the same sustainability and age cut-offs as Indian vessels. No more backdoor chartering of old tonnage. 8March 2028 Is Final Cutoff for Legacy E&P Vessels Without SIS Scores Older E&P support vessels will be de-flagged unless they cross minimum green thresholds under DGS’s new 125-point index. Operators must retrofit or retire. 8Annual Carbon Scoring Comes to the Oil Patch: E&P Fleet Must Quantify Emissions Main engine CO? output, auxiliary fuel burn, shore power readiness, and methane slip are now license factors. Offshore operators must show measurable green performance. 8Sustainability Index Will Split Winners from Losers in India’s E&P Marine Market Only vessels scoring 90+ on DGS’s carbon, audit, and safety matrix will get 5-year operating extensions. Others must exit or reflag—reshaping India’s offshore logistics landscape. 8Green Capex Now Inevitable: Offshore Fleet Owners Must Retrofit for Carbon and Vetting Compliance VFDs, silicone coatings, SCR systems, and class-audited vetting scores are no longer optional for offshore fleet operators. The sustainability index makes them core to licensing. 8For India’s Oilfields, It’s Shape Up or Ship Out—Offshore Marine Vessels Must Prove They Belong India’s DGS draft sets the tone for a post-2028 offshore regime where emissions, inspection records, and engine data decide whether E&P vessels can even stay in the game.

Firms qualifying now could lock in eligibility for up to seven years, opening a multi-season runway for future Indian hydrocarbon exploration bids 8In a notable shift, EMD/Bid Bond for empanelment is waived 8Vendors need not submit operational plans as of now, and personnel bio-data bit can be skipped too More importantly, empanelment remains perpetually open, allowing seismic survey players to update documents and join anytime, making India’s exploration landscape more fluid. 8Vendors can skip paper work through must align technical capacities behind their signed promises. 8This is going to be good business for intrepid entrepreneurs, but remembe though though, only bidders with 250 LKM of 2D or 50 SKM of 3D seismic data acquired using explosives in the last 7 years qualify. So a tie-up will do the job. Foreign parent credentials are allowed but only if they hold 100% equity in the bidding Indian entity Click on Details for moreDetails
In this tender by ONGC, explicitly prohibits subcontracting of core works—except design. 8Bidders relying on third-party execution for construction, procurement, or installation will be deemed non-compliant. That is an interesting twist Click on Details for moreDetails
ONGC has introduced a new clause that will carry forward bidder-submitted documents from past tenders into current evaluations. 8Bidders have no right to challenge which historical documents are considered, hardening ONGC’s long-memory approach to vendor vetting. 8This amendment directly shapes bid strategy, making past submissions an enforceable risk item under PMC and ONGC’s scrutiny.

Precision Rebuild: BPCL Calls for API-610 OH2 Pump Revamp at Kochi 8BPCL’s revamped pump order demands horizontal centrifugal process pumps conforming to API 610 (12th Ed., OH2 type), integrating seal flushing systems, casing warm-up lines, and skid-mounted auxiliaries—supplied as a single package under tight compliance. 8EIL mandates zero design deviation, with the package covering mechanicals, electrics, instrumentation, spares, and commissioning tools all embedded in one deliverable. Bina refinery ETP: Revenue incentives made more attractive 8The tender now mandates not just construction but also full operation and maintenance of the ETP for three years post-commissioning—an unusual inclusion that shifts long-term accountability to the contractor. But incentivises him too. 8Also, contractors can now claim 45% of tank-related payments at the pre-fabrication and erection stage, that is a big help 8A rare clarification from EIL confirms that price variation will apply to CS plates used in shop-fabricated tanks—mitigating steel price volatility risks for bidders. High-pressure heat exchangers: Tender sees third deadline push 8Submission date extended thrice, now due on 09 June—suggesting vendors need more time as well as ongoing design clarifications in BPCL's Bina expansion push. 8347H/321 SS and 2.25 Cr-1Mo combinations in screw plug or breech lock design call for niche vendors with deep fabrication, welding, and testing pedigree. Bid submission extension for HPCL’s 2040 outlook for IPA and propylene 8A rare full-spectrum market study has been floated to map India's long-term demand-supply and price outlook for IPA, polymer-grade propylene, refrigerant-grade propane (R290), and white oils—setting the stage for HPCL’s future feedstock-linked strategies. 8And bidding time has been extended BPCL’s CPU Tender Upends Norms with Suspect-Only Design, No Redundancy, and Mandatory O&M 8From ditching standby beds to mandating six-month operations and rejecting inflation-indexed credentials, BPCL’s condensate polishing package resets the rules. 8A design overhaul based on worst-case condensate quality, tighter flow specs, and revamped qualification bars raise both technical stakes and bidding barriers. Parent company credentials denied for cooling tower by EIL: Indian subsidiaries must qualify alone 8Despite requests, EIL has upheld a strict stance: Indian subsidiaries cannot rely on their foreign parent or group company technical credentials for qualification—forcing independent eligibility proof. 8Bidders cited similar tenders by BHEL and BPCL allowing parent-subsidiary joint credentials, but EIL reaffirmed its position—no change to technical BQC will be entertained Design standard split: NFPA-12 prevails over NFPA-2001 in fire extinguisher tender 8Technical equivalence argument fails—EIL draws clear line between CO? and inert gas systems, each governed by distinct design standards. 8Despite vendor pushback, EIL holds firm—CO? cum fire alarm panel must include 100% redundancy per Clause 8.1.5, as originally specified in the MR. Dual bidder contest emerges for key process feed system at Dahej 8Coperion Ideal and Qlar Technology face off for the additive package—an essential unit in one of India's most advanced ethane-propane handling complexes.
