Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Nov 05: 1) Nine bidders enter technical race for NREP mechanical add-on
8NRL has pushed its mechanical add-on deadline by a week to accommodate field contractors under tight mobilisation. The Rs 49 lakh EMD tender for NREP’s fire-water and utility works drew nine entrants, marking a healthy response. Evaluation now moves to technical compliance before price bids open.
 
2) IOCL Gujarat Refinery opens technical bids for power-trading services; four Category-I traders compete under new open-access contract.
8IOCL’s first refinery-level power-exchange tender moves to evaluation stage with PTC, NTPC VVN, Tata Power Trading and Powerpulse in the fray. The scope covers day-ahead and real-time market bidding for the refinery and its OXO Alcohol unit. An unusual waiver of EMD and security deposit marks a trust-based procurement model.
 
3) Integrated PMC for dual siding in BPCL Bathinda
8BPCL has merged LPG and POL railway siding consultancy into a single GeM package. The design-to-commissioning scope demands unified engineering under Gati Shakti alignment. The PMC will navigate parallel statutory paths with Northern Railway and OISD oversight.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Nov 05: 1) Catalyst weigh scale tender: IOCL Panipat refinery opts for short-cycle procurement under EPCM-3
8IOCL’s Panipat refinery has floated a five-month supply tender for a flameproof catalyst weigh scale (22-LZ-3101) through thyssenkrupp Uhde India. The package follows a tight delivery logic without PBG or PQC filters and uses item-wise lowest evaluation.
 
2) BPCL launches GeM-based surveyor ARC for Mumbai and Kochi exports
8BPCL has opened a one-year ARC tender on GeM for certified surveyors to supervise fuel-export loading at Mumbai and Kochi. The contract enforces continuous attendance, tank fitness certification, and multi-level reporting. Rate discovery will occur port-wise under a floor-price-protected evaluation with no EMD or PBG.
 
3) HPCL Visakh Refinery tenders two-year O&M contract for VRCFP substations via GeM platform.
8HPCL has invited bids for round-the-clock operation and maintenance of its electrical substations at Visakh Refinery under a two-year GeM service contract. The scope merges field and remote assets, introducing attendance-linked reimbursements and defined overtime rates.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Nov 05: 1) Four bid extensions mark cautious progress in Petronet LNG’s rotary-lobe pump tender for Dahej PDH-PP project
8EIL’s pump package under Petronet LNG’s PDH-PP complex has now seen four date shifts, stretching the bid window to early November. Each extension signals continuing NDA-linked compliance and bidder-qualification reviews rather than scope revision. The drawn-out cycle reflects how confidentiality and competition are being balanced in India’s first PDH-PP downstream build.
 
2) Seven-day extension for NHGU steam-turbine generator package clears Diwali bottleneck
8All three turbine OEMs sought an extra week citing festival downtime and pending design clarifications. BPCL accepted, resetting the bid close to 11 November. The move signals a flexible procurement stance under tight technical windows.
 
3) Bid window extended twice for Mathura tank-engineering tender: IOCL seeks stronger field-ready participation
8IOCL has stretched its GeM tender for design adequacy and safety checks of Mathura Refinery’s storage tanks to 12 November. The fortnight’s extension follows high documentation and on-site validation requirements under OISD/API standards. Bidders now have limited
breathing room to align tank-group audits and layout digitisation plans before reverse auction.

Nov 05: 8Engineers India Ltd has pushed the LCWS pump bid deadline from 27 October to 11 November 2025, marking a two-step extension in its zero-deviation limited enquiry. The shift comes amid mandatory NDA clearances linked to the licensed PMcc revamp package. Vendors gain time for compliance, but the 7-month delivery clock remains unchanged.

NRL's project contracting updates

Nov 05: 1) Multiple extensions tighten vendor discipline in NRL Instrumentation PFCC/MS Block tender (Group A)
8NRL’s PFCC Instrumentation tender has slid from September to mid-November through six sequential extensions. Thyssenkrupp Uhde issued fresh TPI and BOQ clarifications while holiday-listing two vendors. The combined timeline stretch and vendor screening signal a go-slow toward risk-proof contracting under EPCM-1.
 
2) Successive six-step extension reshapes instrumentation tender in NRL NREP Group B

8NRL’s PFCC-MS Block instrumentation tender has seen six staggered extensions since September, pushing closure to 11 November 2025. While the schedule slipped, addenda also tightened man-day rules and pruned inspection agencies. The pattern reveals a shift from calendar urgency to quality control and bidder realignment.
 
3) NRL extends Instrumentation (Group A) bid to 11 Nov amid scope and inspection revisions in NREP EPCM-1 tender sequence tightens.
8Numaligarh Refinery has pushed its Instrumentation (Group A) bid deadline to 11 November after four successive extensions. Alongside, the approved inspection list was recast and man-day rules re-written to plug interpretive gaps. Bidders now face a clearer but narrower compliance corridor heading into the final submission window.
 
4) NRL extends Group B instrumentation tender to 11 Nov 2025 as inspection list tightens
8Numaligarh Refinery’s Group B instrumentation package for its 9 MMTPA expansion has seen four extensions and a revised inspection roster. The latest addendum drops TÜV Rheinland and Real Forge from approved lists while pushing the bid deadline to 11 November. Compliance stringency appears to be driving timelines more than vendor inertia.
 
5) Multiple bid extensions and inspection-list revisions mark NRL’s regeneration loop coalescer tender as NREP tightens QA filters
8Five extensions in two months and the removal of two firms from approval lists show NRL’s caution on vendor governance. The MSB-unit package now closes on 11 November 2025 after staged clarifications. Contractors face tighter inspection norms even as bid timeframes broaden.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Nov 05: 1) ONGC hard-codes currency segregation and PoA hygiene in clamp-on EPC
8The clamp-on EPC pack gets a currency rewrite: INR for India-sourced scope, FX only for true imports.
8A new power-of-attorney note closes a common bid-signing loophole.
8SIMOPS and scrap obligations stay firm, keeping execution risk on the marine-ready EPCs.
 
2) ONGC shifts empanelment deadline by 23 days, holds all terms in place
8The digital-transformation SI empanelment slides to 27 November 2025.
8ONGC keeps every other condition intact, favouring documentation quality over scope change.
8The contest now moves to who can land airtight QBS evidence without losing velocity.
 
3) SunPetro pushes Hazira fishing-tools bid to 10 November without loosening guardrails
8The Hazira fishing-tools RFQ gets a two-week breather.
8Bid bond stays, delivered pricing holds, and CIF rules for foreign bidders remain.
8The contest shifts to who can land a fully compliant, certificate-clean pack on time.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Nov 05: 1) Six-vendor, L1-matched civil roster to accelerate 327 drill-site readiness
8ONGC is recoding its Mehsana site-civil into a six-slot, L1-matched rate contract to keep rigs moving.
8The split quantum and turnover tie-break aim to police price while spreading capacity across 327 indicative sites.
8The catch is LD and TPI gating that shift schedule and quality risk squarely onto the contractors.
 
2) Single-rig 1400 HP charter with tight bid discipline for Mahanadi onshore
8OIL is ring-fencing a one-year, 1400 HP land-rig charter for Mahanadi with a hard pre-bid freeze and strict banning triggers.
8A Rs.1.30 crore EMD, 5% PS and e-BG acceptance shape a serious-bidders-only field.
8The real pivot is compliance: Land-border tests and beneficial-owner declarations that will decide who even gets to show up.
 
3) Apave TIV takes L1 for work-over rig TPI as ONGC Assam tightens API/NDT gates
8A limited, single-packet GeM buy for rig TPI has closed with Apave TIV at the bottom of a tight price band.
8The scope hard-codes API and NDT on zero-vintage packages before first-site release.
8The spread tells you how governance-heavy work-over checks are being priced in Assam.
 
4) Tight L1 band seals PSV service award as ONGC Tripura hard-codes PESO/API/NABL gates
8A PSV lifecycle contract in Tripura has closed on a narrow price band at the top and a steep drop-off below.
8The scope pushes PESO-recognised certification, NABL-traceable test benches and API/ASME conformance into annual cycles across six rigs.
8The delivery trick is mobilizing fast and finishing every cycle in six months without mob/demob support.

Seismic SJS + SHD with tight MGS, narrow standby and season-bound clocks, in multi-sector 2D/3D campaign

Nov 05: 8ONGC has split a multi-basin seismic push into six GeM schedules with RA and sector-specific clocks.
8MGS rules, active-channel payments and narrow standby windows price daily productivity into cashflow.

Aframax mother-tanker with SBM–STS call-outs hardens Mumbai High evacuation with voyage-time discipline

Nov 05: 8ONGC is recoding its SBM–STS hire around a single Aframax mother tanker on call-out, with DPR-driven replacements to protect uptime.
8A 12-knot voyage baseline and on-board mooring upkeep shift schedule and reliability risk onto the hull.

Altitude-hardened bundled drilling with H?S systems frames ONGC’s next Puga geothermal push

8The de-rated 50 MT rig and explicit logistics bands indicate a sterner filter born of field experience.
8The twist is an opening for oversize rigs—if bidders can credibly promise mobilisation at height.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Nov 04: 1) Fishbones-based horizontal stimulation locks in KPI-driven execution and mobilization LDs in Baghewala PML
8OIL is codifying a Fishbones completion play in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur Sands with KPI gates and API-third-party inspection.
8The twist is a staggered call-out regime with mobilization LDs and a no-cost proprietary retrieval obligation.
8The real contest is who can model dissolution, assemble cleanly, and deliver acid programs without slipping schedules.
 
2) Reserve-price, H1-cascade and 7-day value EMD frame ONGC’s Odalarevu condensate sale
8ONGC is selling Odalarevu condensate off an indexed floor that starts at Brent plus a fixed mark-up.
8The real contest moves to the premium bidders can justify over that floor, with H1 tie-splits and matching keeping barrels placed.
8A seven-day value-based EMD and end-use licensing tighten the gates without dulling competition.
 
3) Geo Logging takes Mahanadi mud logging at a steep 119–140% undercut to L2/L3 in Mahanadi Basin Project
8A mud logging tender with daily-to-final reporting discipline meets an unusually wide price spread.
8The L1–L2 gap resets the margin math even as PBG and integrity pact tighten execution guardrails.
8The unresolved 90 vs 120-day validity language leaves a compliance wrinkle to watch.
 
4) Three fluids houses clear the technical bar as OIL trims scope and eases crew-swap timelines in Mahanadi Basin Project
8OIL’s clarifications shrink the campaign but harden deliverables around HPWBM quality, RO compliance and calibrated labs.
8Ten-day crew-swap windows and moderated polyamine dosing hint at bidder-driven practicality.
8The real contest now is inventory reliability and DWM uptime in a five-well sprint.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Nov 04: 1) OIL resets pre-bid calendar and hard-codes RTGS/FDR security options in HPWBM tender corrigendum
8A tight pre-bid window now frames a four-year HPWBM campaign over ~40 wells.
8Liquidity-friendly security options arrive alongside a firm ±25% option clause.
8The engineering bar stays high, so clarifications will decide how confidently bidders price risk.
 
2) OIL pushes Baghewala upper-carbonate heavy-oil consultancy bid to 17 November 2025, QCBS and securities unchanged
8A 42-day extension buys time for deeper thermal EOR modelling and consortium builds.
8The governance spine — QCBS 80:20, integrity pact, and ePBG — stays firm.
8The pilot’s physics do not get easier, but better-prepared bids can.
 
3) OIL shifts Dandewala 0.5 MMSCMD GSU EPC closing to 26 November 2025; terms and securities unchanged
8A second calendar move nudges the CO? removal EPC to a late-November close.
8The governance spine — EMD, split performance securities and integrity pact — remains intact.
8The prize is fewer non-responsive bids and a cleaner PGTR path.

Nov 04: 8A compliance-heavy package in ultra-hard Cuddapah rock has landed with a single decisive L1.
8The award sits on strict brand-locked BOP/fishing tools, milestone-gated cashflow, and post-mobilisation TPI at pad-one.
8What this price says about compressor envelope, standby economics, and LD-risk pricing will shape the curve on upcoming air-hammer lots.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Nov 04: 1) CCRU catalyst changeover tightened with parallel fronts and low-security bid in Panipat refinery
8IOCL Panipat has framed a shutdown job that leans on inert handling, sock loading, and hot bolting under a 24×7 parallel execution plan. The bid drops EMD and pares the PBG to 2.5%, even as an option clause preserves the owner’s flexibility on scope and time. A scaffolding split and long-tenure PBG stand out as points bidders will want clarified before pricing.
 
2) BPCL Mumbai refinery pipeline reroute tightens GeM-era controls in PRFCCU enabling package
8BPCL’s PRFCCU enabling tender pushes a hard nil-deviation regime while binding evaluation to the GeM-entered total. Running-unit tie-ins, hydrotest loop files, and pre-commissioning assistance transfer readiness and schedule discipline squarely onto the contractor. A 5% ePBG for 30 months and strict price-breakup rules signal more governance than negotiation.
 
3) Design duty fixes the rotary absorber’s performance window for this refinery
8Gas 1.5–2.5 T/hr, amine 18–20 T/hr, 11.6 bar(g)/half-vacuum, 85 °C set the mechanical envelope for shaft, seals, and bearings. Vendors must size rotors and distributors to these limits without inventing performance claims. Any departure will need documented analysis and owner approval at the GA stage. Mandatory FEM, modal and critical-speed work, plus ISO 1940 G 2.5 balance, drive the accept/reject at shop trials. This is where most low-cost bids will fail. Plan test time and correction loops into the bar chart.
 
4) Vertical VS6 pump package scope spans API 610 VS6 pumps with full accessories and field trials
8The package is end-to-end: engineering to field-trial acceptance with panels, instrumentation and spares. The sponsor points bidders to datasheets for any parameter variances. That places performance accountability on OEM design choices from day one.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Nov 04: 1) BPREP extension stretches to mid-November under bottom-line evaluation for DCS tender
8The bid clock moved from 20 August to 17 November through six notices. Commercial architecture—PPP-MII eligibility, integrity pact, EMD applicable—stayed unchanged in the cited pages. That combination signals schedule flexibility without diluting risk controls.
 
2) GAIL Pata APM bid pushes on-prem analytics with widened affiliate eligibility
8GAIL has kept APM deployment on-premise even as SAP sits in the cloud. Corrigendum #2 broadens affiliate eligibility and rewires payment milestones around measurable benefits. Extensions into November point to complexity and bidder pushback, but the architecture line largely holds.
 
3) Kochi refinery coker crane ops bid gains two-day extension; OEM-grade operator rules stay
8Kochi’s DCU crane-operation bid continues as a non-divisible, two-year GeM package with site visit completed. The GeM page shows an 8 November close while an extension to 10 November is indicated but not posted in the uploaded PDFs. Operator fitness tied to the OEM and emergency manning at no extra cost remain the key filters.

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Nov 04: 1) Five firms clear GAIL Vaghodia HAZOP & QRA technical evaluation under strict BEC filters
8GAIL’s Vaghodia safety-study tender screened fifteen bidders, qualifying only five after stringent documentation and dual-scope checks. The bid’s EMD waiver contrasts with tougher experience proof and foreign-support restrictions. A consolidated HAZOP + QRA framework signals GAIL’s move toward tighter, standardised risk-assessment contracting.
 
2) Only three firms clear GAIL’s technical filters for Dibiyapur HAZOP-QRA bid
8GAIL’s Dibiyapur compressor-station safety study drew thirteen participants but only three cleared the technical stage. Licensed-software compliance and cross-country pipeline experience proved decisive. The screening underlines tightening HSE norms even for short-tenure consultancy packages.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Nov 04: 1) Xplorer wins BPCL’s geotech and topo survey for CCKPL/IDPL augmentation
8A three-way contest narrowed quickly after one disqualification, leaving two qualified bidders with a stark price gap. The L1 award to Xplorer arrives against dense station and crossing scopes, including 48 shallow boreholes for in-service lowering. The documentation demands a full laboratory suite and tight QA loops that will test vendor throughput.
 
2) Arham wins slop-oil recovery job at NRL
8A refinery-experienced SME secured the award after two competitors fell at the qualification hurdle. The payment grid hard-codes a per-KL logic inside a lump sum, making delivery measurable at the fence. Updated integrity protocols and a 25% option window frame a compliance-heavy, continuity-first contract.
 
3) Paradip heavy-equipment ARC closes with razor-thin L1–L2 gap
8The addendum trimmed a key crane performance line while keeping the 90 m reach intact. Reverse auction and no mob/demob charges squeezed room for padding. The award outcome shows a two-horse finish and a long tail.
 
4) Asha Business Solution takes ISCC-CORSIA consultancy
8MRPL has closed a four-block GeM award for SAF certification support tied to ICAO/ISCC criteria. The L1 price is Rs 17.50 lakh with performance security fixed at 5% for 14 months. Milestones link cash to gap study, documentation/training, internal audit/MRM, and CB audit closure.

Yokogawa takes DCS augmentation under BPCL Bina BPREP

The award sits on milestone-heavy payments, PRS on group value, and a hard floor for site-work pricing. What that combination does to delivery risk and scope creep is where the story moves next.

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Nov 05: 1) Nine bidders enter technical race for NREP mechanical add-on
8NRL has pushed its mechanical add-on deadline by a week to accommodate field contractors under tight mobilisation. The Rs 49 lakh EMD tender for NREP’s fire-water and utility works drew nine entrants, marking a healthy response. Evaluation now moves to technical compliance before price bids open.
 
2) IOCL Gujarat Refinery opens technical bids for power-trading services; four Category-I traders compete under new open-access contract.
8IOCL’s first refinery-level power-exchange tender moves to evaluation stage with PTC, NTPC VVN, Tata Power Trading and Powerpulse in the fray. The scope covers day-ahead and real-time market bidding for the refinery and its OXO Alcohol unit. An unusual waiver of EMD and security deposit marks a trust-based procurement model.
 
3) Integrated PMC for dual siding in BPCL Bathinda

Nov 05: 1) Catalyst weigh scale tender: IOCL Panipat refinery opts for short-cycle procurement under EPCM-3
8IOCL’s Panipat refinery has floated a five-month supply tender for a flameproof catalyst weigh scale (22-LZ-3101) through thyssenkrupp Uhde India. The package follows a tight delivery logic without PBG or PQC filters and uses item-wise lowest evaluation.
 
2) BPCL launches GeM-based surveyor ARC for Mumbai and Kochi exports
8BPCL has opened a one-year ARC tender on GeM for certified surveyors to supervise fuel-export loading at Mumbai and Kochi. The contract enforces continuous attendance, tank fitness certification, and multi-level reporting. Rate discovery will occur port-wise under a floor-price-protected evaluation with no EMD or PBG.
 
3) HPCL Visakh Refinery tenders two-year O&M contract for VRCFP substations via GeM platform.
8HPCL has invited bids for round-the-clock operation and maintenance of its electrical substations at Visakh Refinery under a two-year GeM service contract. The scope merges field and remote assets, introducing attendance-linked reimbursements and defined overtime rates.

Nov 05: 1) Four bid extensions mark cautious progress in Petronet LNG’s rotary-lobe pump tender for Dahej PDH-PP project
8EIL’s pump package under Petronet LNG’s PDH-PP complex has now seen four date shifts, stretching the bid window to early November. Each extension signals continuing NDA-linked compliance and bidder-qualification reviews rather than scope revision. The drawn-out cycle reflects how confidentiality and competition are being balanced in India’s first PDH-PP downstream build.
 
2) Seven-day extension for NHGU steam-turbine generator package clears Diwali bottleneck
8All three turbine OEMs sought an extra week citing festival downtime and pending design clarifications. BPCL accepted, resetting the bid close to 11 November. The move signals a flexible procurement stance under tight technical windows.
 
3) Bid window extended twice for Mathura tank-engineering tender: IOCL seeks stronger field-ready participation
8IOCL has stretched its GeM tender for design adequacy and safety checks of Mathura Refinery’s storage tanks to 12 November. The fortnight’s extension follows high documentation and on-site validation requirements under OISD/API standards. Bidders now have limited
breathing room to align tank-group audits and layout digitisation plans before reverse auction.

NRL's project contracting updates

Nov 05: 1) Multiple extensions tighten vendor discipline in NRL Instrumentation PFCC/MS Block tender (Group A)
8NRL’s PFCC Instrumentation tender has slid from September to mid-November through six sequential extensions. Thyssenkrupp Uhde issued fresh TPI and BOQ clarifications while holiday-listing two vendors. The combined timeline stretch and vendor screening signal a go-slow toward risk-proof contracting under EPCM-1.
 
2) Successive six-step extension reshapes instrumentation tender in NRL NREP Group B

8NRL’s PFCC-MS Block instrumentation tender has seen six staggered extensions since September, pushing closure to 11 November 2025. While the schedule slipped, addenda also tightened man-day rules and pruned inspection agencies. The pattern reveals a shift from calendar urgency to quality control and bidder realignment.
 
3) NRL extends Instrumentation (Group A) bid to 11 Nov amid scope and inspection revisions in NREP EPCM-1 tender sequence tightens.
8Numaligarh Refinery has pushed its Instrumentation (Group A) bid deadline to 11 November after four successive extensions. Alongside, the approved inspection list was recast and man-day rules re-written to plug interpretive gaps. Bidders now face a clearer but narrower compliance corridor heading into the final submission window.
 
4) NRL extends Group B instrumentation tender to 11 Nov 2025 as inspection list tightens
8Numaligarh Refinery’s Group B instrumentation package for its 9 MMTPA expansion has seen four extensions and a revised inspection roster. The latest addendum drops TÜV Rheinland and Real Forge from approved lists while pushing the bid deadline to 11 November. Compliance stringency appears to be driving timelines more than vendor inertia.
 
5) Multiple bid extensions and inspection-list revisions mark NRL’s regeneration loop coalescer tender as NREP tightens QA filters
8Five extensions in two months and the removal of two firms from approval lists show NRL’s caution on vendor governance. The MSB-unit package now closes on 11 November 2025 after staged clarifications. Contractors face tighter inspection norms even as bid timeframes broaden.

8ONGC is recoding its Mehsana site-civil into a six-slot, L1-matched rate contract to keep rigs moving.
8The split quantum and turnover tie-break aim to police price while spreading capacity across 327 indicative sites.

2) Single-rig 1400 HP charter with tight bid discipline for Mahanadi onshore
8OIL is ring-fencing a one-year, 1400 HP land-rig charter for Mahanadi with a hard pre-bid freeze and strict banning triggers.
8A Rs.1.30 crore EMD, 5% PS and e-BG acceptance shape a serious-bidders-only field.
8The real pivot is compliance: Land-border tests and beneficial-owner declarations that will decide who even gets to show up.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Nov 04: 1) Fishbones-based horizontal stimulation locks in KPI-driven execution and mobilization LDs in Baghewala PML
8OIL is codifying a Fishbones completion play in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur Sands with KPI gates and API-third-party inspection.
8The twist is a staggered call-out regime with mobilization LDs and a no-cost proprietary retrieval obligation.
8The real contest is who can model dissolution, assemble cleanly, and deliver acid programs without slipping schedules.
 
2) Reserve-price, H1-cascade and 7-day value EMD frame ONGC’s Odalarevu condensate sale
8ONGC is selling Odalarevu condensate off an indexed floor that starts at Brent plus a fixed mark-up.
8The real contest moves to the premium bidders can justify over that floor, with H1 tie-splits and matching keeping barrels placed.
8A seven-day value-based EMD and end-use licensing tighten the gates without dulling competition.
 
3) Geo Logging takes Mahanadi mud logging at a steep 119–140% undercut to L2/L3 in Mahanadi Basin Project
8A mud logging tender with daily-to-final reporting discipline meets an unusually wide price spread.
8The L1–L2 gap resets the margin math even as PBG and integrity pact tighten execution guardrails.
8The unresolved 90 vs 120-day validity language leaves a compliance wrinkle to watch.
 
4) Three fluids houses clear the technical bar as OIL trims scope and eases crew-swap timelines in Mahanadi Basin Project
8OIL’s clarifications shrink the campaign but harden deliverables around HPWBM quality, RO compliance and calibrated labs.
8Ten-day crew-swap windows and moderated polyamine dosing hint at bidder-driven practicality.
8The real contest now is inventory reliability and DWM uptime in a five-well sprint.

Details

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Nov 04: 1) OIL resets pre-bid calendar and hard-codes RTGS/FDR security options in HPWBM tender corrigendum
8A tight pre-bid window now frames a four-year HPWBM campaign over ~40 wells.
8Liquidity-friendly security options arrive alongside a firm ±25% option clause.
8The engineering bar stays high, so clarifications will decide how confidently bidders price risk.
 
2) OIL pushes Baghewala upper-carbonate heavy-oil consultancy bid to 17 November 2025, QCBS and securities unchanged
8A 42-day extension buys time for deeper thermal EOR modelling and consortium builds.
8The governance spine — QCBS 80:20, integrity pact, and ePBG — stays firm.
8The pilot’s physics do not get easier, but better-prepared bids can.
 
3) OIL shifts Dandewala 0.5 MMSCMD GSU EPC closing to 26 November 2025; terms and securities unchanged
8A second calendar move nudges the CO? removal EPC to a late-November close.
8The governance spine — EMD, split performance securities and integrity pact — remains intact.
8The prize is fewer non-responsive bids and a cleaner PGTR path.

Shivganga Drillers wins two-well air-hammer scope at Rs 62.32 crore ONGC Cuddapah Basin.

Nov 04: 8A compliance-heavy package in ultra-hard Cuddapah rock has landed with a single decisive L1.
8The award sits on strict brand-locked BOP/fishing tools, milestone-gated cashflow, and post-mobilisation TPI at pad-one.
8What this price says about compressor envelope, standby economics, and LD-risk pricing will shape the curve on upcoming air-hammer lots.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Nov 04: 1) CCRU catalyst changeover tightened with parallel fronts and low-security bid in Panipat refinery
8IOCL Panipat has framed a shutdown job that leans on inert handling, sock loading, and hot bolting under a 24×7 parallel execution plan. The bid drops EMD and pares the PBG to 2.5%, even as an option clause preserves the owner’s flexibility on scope and time. A scaffolding split and long-tenure PBG stand out as points bidders will want clarified before pricing.
 
2) BPCL Mumbai refinery pipeline reroute tightens GeM-era controls in PRFCCU enabling package
8BPCL’s PRFCCU enabling tender pushes a hard nil-deviation regime while binding evaluation to the GeM-entered total. Running-unit tie-ins, hydrotest loop files, and pre-commissioning assistance transfer readiness and schedule discipline squarely onto the contractor. A 5% ePBG for 30 months and strict price-breakup rules signal more governance than negotiation.
 
3) Design duty fixes the rotary absorber’s performance window for this refinery
8Gas 1.5–2.5 T/hr, amine 18–20 T/hr, 11.6 bar(g)/half-vacuum, 85 °C set the mechanical envelope for shaft, seals, and bearings. Vendors must size rotors and distributors to these limits without inventing performance claims. Any departure will need documented analysis and owner approval at the GA stage. Mandatory FEM, modal and critical-speed work, plus ISO 1940 G 2.5 balance, drive the accept/reject at shop trials. This is where most low-cost bids will fail. Plan test time and correction loops into the bar chart.
 
4) Vertical VS6 pump package scope spans API 610 VS6 pumps with full accessories and field trials
8The package is end-to-end: engineering to field-trial acceptance with panels, instrumentation and spares. The sponsor points bidders to datasheets for any parameter variances. That places performance accountability on OEM design choices from day one.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Nov 04: 1) BPREP extension stretches to mid-November under bottom-line evaluation for DCS tender
8The bid clock moved from 20 August to 17 November through six notices. Commercial architecture—PPP-MII eligibility, integrity pact, EMD applicable—stayed unchanged in the cited pages. That combination signals schedule flexibility without diluting risk controls.
 
2) GAIL Pata APM bid pushes on-prem analytics with widened affiliate eligibility
8GAIL has kept APM deployment on-premise even as SAP sits in the cloud. Corrigendum #2 broadens affiliate eligibility and rewires payment milestones around measurable benefits. Extensions into November point to complexity and bidder pushback, but the architecture line largely holds.
 
3) Kochi refinery coker crane ops bid gains two-day extension; OEM-grade operator rules stay
8Kochi’s DCU crane-operation bid continues as a non-divisible, two-year GeM package with site visit completed. The GeM page shows an 8 November close while an extension to 10 November is indicated but not posted in the uploaded PDFs. Operator fitness tied to the OEM and emergency manning at no extra cost remain the key filters.

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Nov 04: 1) Five firms clear GAIL Vaghodia HAZOP & QRA technical evaluation under strict BEC filters
8GAIL’s Vaghodia safety-study tender screened fifteen bidders, qualifying only five after stringent documentation and dual-scope checks. The bid’s EMD waiver contrasts with tougher experience proof and foreign-support restrictions. A consolidated HAZOP + QRA framework signals GAIL’s move toward tighter, standardised risk-assessment contracting.
 
2) Only three firms clear GAIL’s technical filters for Dibiyapur HAZOP-QRA bid
8GAIL’s Dibiyapur compressor-station safety study drew thirteen participants but only three cleared the technical stage. Licensed-software compliance and cross-country pipeline experience proved decisive. The screening underlines tightening HSE norms even for short-tenure consultancy packages.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Nov 04: 1) Xplorer wins BPCL’s geotech and topo survey for CCKPL/IDPL augmentation
8A three-way contest narrowed quickly after one disqualification, leaving two qualified bidders with a stark price gap. The L1 award to Xplorer arrives against dense station and crossing scopes, including 48 shallow boreholes for in-service lowering. The documentation demands a full laboratory suite and tight QA loops that will test vendor throughput.
 
2) Arham wins slop-oil recovery job at NRL
8A refinery-experienced SME secured the award after two competitors fell at the qualification hurdle. The payment grid hard-codes a per-KL logic inside a lump sum, making delivery measurable at the fence. Updated integrity protocols and a 25% option window frame a compliance-heavy, continuity-first contract.
 
3) Paradip heavy-equipment ARC closes with razor-thin L1–L2 gap
8The addendum trimmed a key crane performance line while keeping the 90 m reach intact. Reverse auction and no mob/demob charges squeezed room for padding. The award outcome shows a two-horse finish and a long tail.
 
4) Asha Business Solution takes ISCC-CORSIA consultancy
8MRPL has closed a four-block GeM award for SAF certification support tied to ICAO/ISCC criteria. The L1 price is Rs 17.50 lakh with performance security fixed at 5% for 14 months. Milestones link cash to gap study, documentation/training, internal audit/MRM, and CB audit closure.

Yokogawa takes DCS augmentation under BPCL Bina BPREP

Nov 04: 8BPCL’s Bina petchem and refinery expansion has locked in its brownfield DCS augmentation under EIL’s OEM-basis, zero-deviation framework. The award sits on milestone-heavy payments, PRS on group value, and a hard floor for site-work pricing. What that combination does to delivery risk and scope creep is where the story moves next.

Evaluation is schedule-wise with ITC-aware L1 discovery, rotation, and predefined case splits—minus EMD and ePBG. The bidder slate points to Big-Four plus capital-markets benches, but allocation leverage remains with the promoter.
