Kharsang’s 40-well clearance signals long-term oil uplift
8While only two wells are producing, HOEC has clearance for 40 development and 3 exploration wells in Arunachal—setting up a multi-year drilling campaign with potential reservoir upside.
B-15 could be HOEC’s dark horse in offshore gas
8Newly acquired and 100% owned, B-15 comes with two ONGC discoveries and complete seismic data. Shallow waters mean lower capex, and a production start is targeted within 30 months.
PY-1 gas gets a 2x price bump as HOEC signs new term sheet
8The old US dollar 3.66 per mmbtu price is gone. A fresh term sheet with GAIL offers US dollar 6.75 on gross calorific value—pending a green light from PetroVietnam by June-end.
390,000 barrels in storage, and HOEC isn’t in a hurry to sell
8With crude prices underwhelming, HOEC is holding back nearly 400,000 barrels from B-80—waiting for the US dollar 75 mark. With capacity to store 900,000 barrels, the clock isn’t ticking yet.
Dirok’s forest pipeline nears finish line—gas grid could flip the field
8The 15-km stretch through forest terrain is done. Once the North-East Gas Grid links up in FY26, Dirok’s latent capacity—up to 55 mmscfd—can finally find buyers across India.
B-80 workovers to halt production for a month, but more oil may follow
8HOEC is planning tubing replacements and zone shifts in B-80’s two offshore wells. A 30-day pause is expected, but the target is higher, more stable flow post-restart.
HOEC rewrites B-80 revenue model to ensure survival
8The company has scrapped day-rate infra charges in favor of per-barrel pricing—keeping its FPSO, MOPU, and SPM alive during low production. It’s about sustaining the ecosystem, not padding topline.
HOEC quietly imposes debt ceiling tied to market cap
8Even as drilling and infra work picks up, HOEC says it won’t borrow more than 10% of its market value. That caps future debt around Rs 200–250 crore, adding a fiscal discipline layer.
HOEC holds 21% in PY-3 but gets nothing—arbitration may change that
8ONGC resumed production from PY-3, but HOEC, despite its 21% stake, isn’t getting returns. A legal battle is underway—and a favorable ruling could bring retroactive payouts.
One-time gains cushion Q4 profit as volumes stay weak
8Rs 46 crore in unpaid interest from AEPL and Rs 76 crore in other income bolstered HOEC’s bottom line this quarter. But it’s not from operations—production remains subdued.

Fifth deadline push in BPCL Bina ETP bid raises planning red flags
8With four successive bid extensions and unresolved technical ambiguities, the ETP tender under BPCL’s Bina expansion now signals planning instability, raising execution and sizing risks for bidders.
8TSS now floated at 200 mg/L, then diluted with vague ‘finalize later’ language. EPC bidders face design and costing limbo.
8Bidders flag irrelevance of Thyristor and NIFPS AMC, but EIL refuses deletions — risk pushed downstream.
8No Zone 0/1/2 mapping provided. EIL hands off classification — increasing compliance exposure.
8Bidders asked for clarity on motor efficiency class, but EIL response redirects to tender note with no explicit resolution.
8EIL insists on <20 mg/L COD without addressing recalcitrant load concerns in refinery effluent — risky assumption.
8Vendors cannot price undefined AMC scope for NIFPS or Thyristor panels. Bidding integrity suffers.
8Despite a 6000+ page tender, basics like inlet quality and motor specs are left ambiguous.
8With four prior extensions, confidence in project readiness and bid evaluation stability is now under question.
EIL’s steam package tender for BPCL triggers critical design shifts
8Key electrical and mechanical specifications in BPCL’s steam generation package tender were quietly overhauled via pre-bid replies and commercial amendments.
8With deadlines now extended, bidders face an uphill task recalibrating costs and scope.
8The exclusion of motor-driven pump reduces redundancy in steam startup strategy. Is BPCL betting on gas grid stability?
8With pre-bid clarifications adding significant scope, the third bid deadline extension offers scant room for recalibrated costing.
BPCL’s polypropylene bagging plant tender sees repeated deadline extensions: Bidders cautious?
8With bid due dates now extended to 13 June 2025, industry players are eyeing the Rs100 crore tender with hesitation.
8The tender demands turnkey automation of multiple packaging lines – from 25 kg bags to 715 kg jumbo formats – testing bidders’ integration capabilities.
8Is the complexity of automation or EMD-heavy terms slowing down submissions?
Oil mist, trip logic and pressure margins: MRPL compressor bid stirs a debate
8The MRPL’s recycle gas compressor tender expose key engineering contentions — from API compliance deviations to logic overrides and pressure-drop accountability.
8EIL responds with a firm but selectively accommodative stance.

Digital command center tender at BPCL Kochi draws top IT contenders amid intricate safety and integration demands
8Five heavyweights are in the fray for BPCL Kochi’s CDE Control Tower project.
8This isn't a regular IT tender — it's a refinery-grade digital infrastructure mandate demanding hardcoded safety, full-spectrum system integration, and post-go-live operational stability.
8The tender sees a rare mix of EPC-oriented and pure IT consultants.
HPCL’s subsea pipeline wrapping job: All three bidders clear technical scrutiny
8HPCL’s subsea pipeline wrapping job sees technical qualification of 3X Engineering, Coastal Marine, and Underwater Services, signaling a technically sound and competitive bid round.
Top-tier valve players lock horns for Usar PDH package
8With heavyweights like Velan, Leader, and Oswal in the fray, GAIL's limited tender for critical LT and cryogenic valves sees fierce competition among EIL-approved vendors.
8Long-time industry leaders now face off with agile mid-sized firms in this tightly contested procurement.
Top consultancies falter in BPCL greenbelt tender
8Big names like PwC, CII, and TUV SUD were disqualified in the technical stage
8This reveals how the tender demanded field-level biodiversity credentials, not corporate clout. 10 out of 12 bidders failed to qualify, highlighting a shift towards ecological rigor and statutory depth in public sector tenders linked to refinery operations.
8The tender’s scope included tracking endangered species, IUCN-linked risk, and carbon sequestration—a multidimensional ask that most firms couldn’t meet.
HDD race intensifies: 4 players in fray for river crossing drill
8Four bidders vie to clinch the Atherbanki River HDD contract under the NRL expansion pipeline, setting the stage for a critical stretch in India’s crude logistics corridor.

No Price Bid Yet—Empanelment-only Tender to Pre-Qualify Vibroseis Contractors
8ONGC will invite price bids only from those empaneled through this process. With no EMD or commercial offer required upfront, this is a low-barrier, high-stakes gateway for seismic players.
8The BEC mandates credible seismic work history using vibrator fleets. For multi-sector bids, the bar is even higher: 250 LKM or 50 SKM. Proof of delivery is non-negotiable.
8ONGC allows bids based on parent/sister companies' experience—but demands an extra 50% performance bank guarantee from the supporting firm. So group synergy now comes with a price
Cyclic Steam Stimulation Returns to Spotlight in ONGC’s Enhanced Recovery Drive
8ONGC pushes CSS operations using portable steam generators—pointing to renewed urgency in boosting recovery from tight, viscous reservoirs in Gujarat’s declining fields.
8Only vendors with proven high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) steam systems and real-world CSS experience stand a chance.
From Flare to Fuel? ONGC Looks to Repurpose Vent Gases in Ahmedabad Asset
8ONGC is scouting for solutions to store or reuse flare gas—possibly for power generation or reinjection.
8From emissions recovery to vapour reutilization, this EOI is an early building block for carbon-smart oilfield operations in India’s oldest producing basin. A sign that sustainability is moving from policy to plant floor.
GSPC Clarifies Viton FPM Requirement for Seals—No Substitutes Allowed
8The pre-bid note firmly states only Viton FPM rubber will be accepted for Chiksan loop sealing—closing the door on cheaper alternatives. Vendors must align their BOM now.
8The company demands SS 304 or SS 316 for ball races in the Chiksan swivel joints. Mild steel or carbon steel alternatives won’t pass technical evaluation.
8Despite vendor murmurs, GSPC did not dilute the API 5L Grade X65 spec for the discharge line pipe. Bidders must factor premium steel cost into their quotes.
GSPC Confirms Sale of Emulsified Crude on “As-Is” Basis—No Quality Claims Allowed
8Pre-bid clarifications confirm that buyers must lift crude in its emulsified state, with no guarantees on BS&W levels. Quality control will rest solely on the buyer.
8GSPC stops short of calling it ‘refinery-grade’. This confirms that emulsified crude will need dehydration and heating—potentially costly for small players.

8Only bidders with firm MoUs or in-house facilities get through; casual stockists need not apply as EIL screens for genuine technical alignment.
8Bidders can submit separate jobs for pipe supply and coating, but each parameter must be fully documented, discouraging fragmented or opaque participation.
8Even minor documentation lapses will lead to outright rejection, marking a shift toward unforgiving compliance enforcement.
8Bidders cannot supplement their PTR after bid submission unless explicitly listed—tightening historical accountability standards.
Bagging & Palletizing Tender for PDH-PP Specs hit ceiling: Challenge even for global vendors
8The spec sheet for the FFS lines pushes OEMs to deliver both speed and surgical precision — a challenge even for top-tier global vendors.
8OSHA-aligned safety fences with emergency gate interlocks, malfunction lighting, and anti-dump software create one of the most risk-averse specs in recent packaging tenders.
8Ferrous particle detection must be as low as 1.6 mm at shop conditions — vendors must prove lab-level sensitivity in factory-floor environments.
8Stretch hooding machines must handle 5- or 6-sided wrap modes, with dual-reel shafts and auto-change — even pallet size handling is expected to vary on-the-fly.
100+ item HPCL ROU scope sends bidders into a tizzy: Why is the refinery trying to do so much micro management?
8A 100+ item scope and high documentation standards suggest tighter scrutiny and end-to-end service accountability.
8This reflects a desire to micro-manage compliance Nearly 50 line-item categories rolled into a single tender
8The contractor is expected to serve as digital mapper, village-level registrar, and state liaison — all rolled into one.
8With all components bundled, the number of eligible bidders is likely to shrink — risking price discovery dilution.

Rotary gear pump tender draws just one bid: Technical overreach or market fixing?
8The EIL-issued limited tender for PDH-PP service gear pumps closed with only Maag Italy Srl bidding.
8This raises concerns about excessive qualification constraints or brand-specific design.
8With reverse auction and part-award mechanisms ruled out, the tender structure itself signals an all-or-nothing approach that magnifies single-vendor risk.
L1 bidder secures spring support package with 25% price gap in NRL DCU revamp
8Pipe Supports Co outbid four contenders by a wide margin in the spring assemblies tender for NRL’s coker unit revamp.
8The 25–60% price spread signals aggressive undercutting and raises questions on cost realism for future bidders.
Stancor clinches GAIL pipe tender with 80% margin gap over L3
8With an aggressive quote of Rs. 15.2 lakh, Stancor beat L2 by 19% and L3 by over 260%.
8The wide bid dispersion hints at cost pressure at the bottom and disinterest or risk buffering at the top.
8L3 to L11 bids appear significantly buffered, possibly indicating margin stacking or caution on material specs.
Duplex SS heat exchanger bid sees clustering below Rs. 8.1 crore: Was there some underhand play?

Eleventh-hour delays cloud IOCL Paradip PMC bid: Sack the tender committee
8With 11 bid deadline extensions and shifting scopes between PMC and LSTK contractors, IOCL's ambitious Paradip PP Line upgrade project is testing industry patience and readiness. Consultant scope rationalization and tight client controls signal a project structured to mitigate IOCL risk—but not bidder workload.
8This is happening far too often, and someone needs to take the hit for this, the tender committee should be sacked.
Bid deadline deferred thrice as EIL tightens specs on BPCL Bina nitrogen plant
8Stringent relay logic, advanced temperature monitoring, and updated short-circuit ratings push vendors to recalibrate bids.
8With the submission date now extended to June 20, pressure mounts amid rising compliance costs.
8EIL mandates intelligent relays with communication, predictive diagnostics, and real-time trip cause identification. A shift to 3C3 conformal coatings adds cost and complexity for bidders.
8OTMS is now mandatory for all air circuit breaker panels, demanding wireless sensors, SCADA integration, and remote protocol compatibility—a notable jump in digital oversight.
8Level-2 minimum LPS and standardized strip sizes now explicitly mandated, adding new design compliance points based on geographic vulnerability mapping
8Despite pushback from vendors citing approval and inspection time, EIL refused extension of project timeline—timeline risk remains with EPC contractor.
EIL bends 10-year rule for PLL’s PDH pump tender: Corporate lobbying at play?
8In a rare move, EIL allows pump models supplied up to 15 years ago to qualify as field-proven, addressing OEM concerns over deployment scarcity in complex PDH service.
8With Sulzer flagging PTR gaps for its specialty vertical pumps, EIL alters eligibility terms
8Even with expanded eligibility, all instrumentation must be PESO-certified, potentially blocking even IECEx-compliant foreign OEMs from seamless qualification.
8From limited bidding to high-tech specs and field-proven clauses, this tender could see very few technically compliant bidders—unless more amendments follow.
ATF survey bid extended: IOCL’s 33 km pipeline faces routing scrutiny and environmental mapping hurdles
8Submission date for IOCL’s ATF pipeline survey has been extended, underscoring the complexity of clearances and route mapping through sensitive zones.
8Surveyors must navigate strict conditions on forest proximity, mining activity, and GIS compliance within tight timelines.
8Three alternate pipeline alignments—each crossing sensitive zones—require layered surveys including PDI, hydrological data, and CRZ-clearance-ready mapping.
8Final alignment depends heavily on GIS-layered justification.
8Despite being a "survey" tender, bidders must do groundwork for CRZ, Forest, Wildlife, and Mining clearance frameworks—without liability shields or advance payments.

Single-Trip Whipstock Tender Tightens Risk, Delivers No Comfort for New Entrants

Shah Bhogilal Undercuts Rivals to Win ONGC Assam Fire Safety Gear Bid
8In ONGC Assam’s procurement of 20 mobile foam trolleys, Shah Bhogilal Jethalal & Bros. emerged as L1 by a decisive margin, signaling aggressive price play in safety gear segment.
8Tough Specs, Slim Turnout: 353+ MH valves now await a new plan
Why ONGC’s Mumbai High valve repair job found few takers despite urgency and had to be cancelled?
8High-pressure rating, TPI scrutiny, and API workshop clause may have filtered out several potential service providers.
8From serial stamping to dual-stage TPI-inspected repairs, ONGC’s tender mandated a rigor that may have been misaligned with current domestic service capacities. A reissue may soften technical prerequisites.
8What is more, the tender pegs 353 SSVs for overhaul but puts an invisible ceiling on repair extent, especially for valves beyond salvage. The commercial ambiguity could be why the tender didn’t move forward.
8Any delay now carries safety implications as well as cost and timeline ripple effects.

8A rare EOI invites both existing and aspiring iso-octane producers, signaling IOCL's intent to localize supply chains for niche petrochemicals, even for small volumes as small as 78 MT annually.
8With no financial threshold or past performance required, the entry barrier drops — but will that attract fly-by-night firms or unlock latent capacity?
8Or was it forced to initiate it under pressure?

Despite authorizations touching 34,233 km, only 25,429 km of gas pipelines are operational. Regulatory data shows delays and ground-level deviations slowing India’s gas grid rollout.
8While common carrier lines form the bulk of India’s network, over 780 km are now dedicated lines, quietly catering to captive and commercial users through tailored gas delivery.
8Projects like the Mehsana–Bathinda (GIGL) and Mallavaram–Bhopal–Vijaipur (GITL) pipelines remain incomplete 14 years after authorization. A deeper crisis of execution may be at play
8With 565 km operational and 550 km under construction, sub-transmission networks remain a weak link—especially in northern and eastern India, where CGD support infrastructure is still minimal.
8At least five under-construction tie-ins are now dedicated to LNG evacuation from emerging terminals like Swan, Karaikal, and Petronet expansion zones—indicating a private LNG-led build-out push.
8The flagship GAIL-led Kochi-Koottanad-Bangalore-Mangalore and Dabhol-Bangalore trunk pipelines continue to miss targets, with large under-construction stretches remaining in Kerala and Karnataka.
