Bidders warn duplication inflates project cost and tariff, but PNGRB largely holds the line

Andhra ethylene cracker licensor tender hardens payment and dispute terms as bid timeline stretches

Dec 22: 8The ethylene cracker licensor package is being rewritten into a tighter, less negotiable contract even as the bid window keeps slipping. Payment-term “creativity” is now explicitly penalised, and the dispute path is steered away from arbitration and toward promoter-controlled sequencing. The quiet question is whether the tender is filtering for only a handful of licensors—or signalling unresolved risk that bidders refuse to price blind.

Tender cancelled after fleet-spec rewrites tighten ONGC’s shore base operator gate

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Dec 22: 1) IOCL’s Nagapattinam compression consultancy award crystallises into a two-bidder race with a 31.6% L2 premium
8The quiet story sits in the compliance tightening—IBC screening, bid hygiene rules, and security instruments that may have shaped who could even stay in the room.
 
2) L1 pricing breaks below estimate, but the asset class is response-critical in IOCL/WRPL Vadinar MOSRU
8The unanswered question is where the contractor plans to absorb compliance and uptime costs without degrading readiness.
 
3) IOCL Panipat refinery’s CCRU shutdown catalyst replacement award lands at estimate
8This is, while the rest of the field prices 44%–111% higher.
 
4) IOCL locks Lupech reliability into a dashboard-led rotary monitoring ARC
8The company then lands a wide-spread two-bid award
 
5) Parivesh lands a sharply underpriced eia/emp mandate for coal gasification to SNG plant at Bardhaman
8The price ladder is extreme, with L2 sitting roughly two-and-a-half times L1, raising questions about what “liaisoning” will really cost once MOEFCC queries start.
 
6) Rotostat undercuts the field to win BPCL Mumbai refinery ta 2026 package 3 lobs nhgu part a, with a 27.2% jump to l2
8The tender’s amendments quietly relax early mobilisation while hardening readiness enforcement through specific minimums and penalties. The combination sets up a contract where compliance capacity, not just price, decides who survives day one.
 
7) MRPL’s scaffolding ARC award turns into a two-bidder contest with a 195.0% price gap
8The contract’s dual-vendor intent adds a second layer of tension that will matter more than the headline L1 number.

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Dec 22: 1) Sole technical bidder emerges for comp-recipro (labyrinth) package in NRL’s PPU project
8With only one technical bidder disclosedcompetitive discovery weakens.
 
2) Three-bidder technical opening after EIL’s late flare-system add-on tightens the desuperheater contest in PLL Dahej PDH-PP project
8A specific vendor list for control valves and accessories is introduced with the amendment. That reduces make variance but also narrows sourcing flexibility for bidders. It can drive hidden cost differences depending on each bidder’s approved supply chain
 
3) IOCL’s Haldia refinery super Sucker MOSRU hire tender sees 7 bidders but only 2 clear technical gate
8The SCC quietly loads availability risk onto the contractor through “extra crew at no cost”, emergency readiness, and a 24-hour repair expectation. With a buyer-set floor price and no reverse auction, the real contest shifts from price theatrics to documentation strength and execution depth.

Click on Details for more Details

Downstream contracting briefs

Dec 22: 1) GAIL’s VSPL LPG pipeline safety tender hard-codes risk contours for all scenarios, shifting QRA liability onto the agency
8The real contest will be between firms that can model and evidence risk credibly across a long, multi-site LPG system and those that only know how to format conclusions.
 
2) BPCL hard-locks MR TA 2026 UPS spares to Vertiv channel
8The proprietary gate and deviation discipline compress the bidder universe, while compliance-linked payment mechanics quietly reshape working-capital risk.
 
3) HPRGE’s 20 mw/28 MWP maharashtra solar PMC tender
8It turns consulting into open access optimisation plus day-zero document control
 
4) Bid deadline extended by 7 days for drone inspection package ahead of TA
8BPCL’s Mumbai refinery is using drone thermal and visual inspections to pull failure signals forward of the RMP-DHT turnaround window. The bid clock has been pushed by 7 days, but the bigger story is how the portal-driven pricing rules and security compliance stack quietly reshape who can even bid. The tender reads like a speed-and-control play—yet one clause mismatch hints at governance seams that vendors will watch closely.
 
5) Bid deadline pushed as IOCL’s QCBS leadership competency and assessment-centre tender seeks a viable field
8The extension lands in a limited-tender universe with portal-configured auto-extension mechanics, hinting that participation and compliance are the real constraints. What matters now is how bidders use the added days to harden the “quality story” without triggering the common GeM/ITB rejection traps.
 
6) IOCL’s Paradip refinery leak detection system tender stretches twice, then ends in a cancellation
8Two deadline extensions quietly changed the competitive physics before the tender was ultimately marked cancelled.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Dec 22: 1) GSPC hardens GeM callout nitrogen tender
8GSPC’s GeM-based callout nitrogen tender quietly embeds oilfield-grade purity, pressure, and availability thresholds that go beyond generic industrial nitrogen supply.
8These performance baselines effectively pre-filter the vendor universe before commercial discovery begins.
8The structure suggests GSPC is prioritising operational certainty over wider price-led participation.
 
2) EOI screens for ISM-compliant vessel for SPM
8The EOI uses the front-end screening stage to hard-filter vessels on ISM compliance, class, and safety management attributes that are often negotiated later in marine charters.
8The operating model introduces an O&M business partner interface, subtly reshaping instruction authority and acceptance risk at the SPM.
8A compressed EOI window further sharpens exclusion risk for borderline-compliant owners.
 
3) ONGC Cauvery asset effluent water tanker hire award shows a 10.1% L2 gap as L1 undercuts the estimate by 12.6%
8ONGC’s Cauvery asset has awarded the three-year effluent haulage contract at a price materially below its internal estimate.
8The 10.1% L2 gap indicates disciplined bidding, but the 12.6% undercut versus estimate leaves little buffer for execution slippage.
8Waiting time, routing, and utilisation risks are structurally loaded onto the contractor, turning compliance into the primary margin defence.
 
4) Pre-bid queries trigger a second bid extension to 08 January 2026, signalling substantive tender ONGC/Trombay–Uran crude transfer pipeline replacement reset
8ONGC’s second bid deadline extension is explicitly tied to pre-bid queries and subsequent addendums, not routine timeline relief.
8The linkage signals that bidders are expected to rework submissions against revised clauses and compliance matrices.
8Each reset raises participation cost and tests which bidders can sustain diligence through evolving tender architecture.
 
5) ONGC lowers financial entry gates for Ahmedabad asset fire protection LSTK revamp
8ONGC’s latest amendment leaves the fire protection revamp scope intact but rewrites the financial qualification thresholds.
8The move widens eligibility without diluting technical responsibility under the LSTK model.
8The signal is a recalibration toward competition enhancement rather than scope softening.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Dec 22: 1) Oil India tightens bid sanctity for Assam pipeline works
8The company is bundling multi-site pipeline and piping interventions across live production-handling facilities, but the sharper story is the governance machinery wrapped around it.
8A two-year suspension trigger is wired for the L1 who blinks after LOA, and a transparency field exposes “total bid value” to qualified rivals even while being declared non-evaluative.
8The technical scope that will decide execution risk sits behind the full SOQ, but the compliance and discipline levers are already doing the vendor-pool shaping.
 
2) ONGC hardwires API 4F load analysis into mast health check-up scope for workover rig
8ONGC is not buying a “visual + NDT” certificate here; it is demanding a defensible residual-life narrative anchored to API methods and member-level thickness accounting.
8The scope quietly anticipates operational constraints by asking for NDT capability even with the mast standing, tightening execution planning.
8The real story is how these technical demands reshape who can bid credibly—and what gets priced into risk.
 
3) ONGC-vl tightens CPO-5 fishing services bid around 24-hour callouts, DDP import risk, and experience-heavy PQC
8ONGC-vl’s CPO-5 fishing services package is structured less like a simple call-out and more like a test of who can pre-position capability inside Colombia.
8The technical-commercial hinge is buried in logistics and rate mechanics: 24-hour site response expectations, DDP import exposure, and a capped rulebook on when “operating” remains payable during interruptions.
8The tender’s real story is how these levers reshape who can bid credibly and how risk gets priced.
 
4) ONGC pushes dredging, depth assurance and relocation risk into a single turnkey berth package for Sagar Bhushan
8ONGC’s Sagar Bhushan berthing bid quietly rewrites “services” into a berth-guarantee contract, with the contractor made responsible for channel realities that usually sit outside a standard scope.
8The shore-power spec and the 72-hour berth/unberth clock narrow the field to ports that already run like offshore bases, not just jetties.
8But the real contest will be over who can price the hidden marine-works risk without signalling it in the headline numbers.
 
5) ONGC’s onshore IPS call-out IRC lands with an 86% pricing differential
8ONGC’s three-year onshore intelligent pigging survey framework has thrown up a bid spread that is too wide to ignore, with L2 and L3 sitting more than 86% above L1.
8The contract pack’s precedence ladder and no-minimum-quantum posture quietly reshape how contractors carry utilisation and compliance risk.
8What that combination signals about vendor strategy, and how it could harden future pipeline integrity tenders, is where the real story sits.
 
6) ONGC extends Uran 24-inch crude pipeline LSTK bids to 08 January 2026 after pre-bid reply and addendums
8ONGC has pushed its Uran 24-inch crude pipeline replacement tender into January, explicitly linking the delay to pre-bid replies and addendums.
8The shift gives EPCs more room to price HDD and brownfield interface risk, but it also stretches bid-security and bid-prep exposure inside a strict qualification cage.
8What matters now is not just the new dates, but what the addendums quietly changed—and which bidders can stay compliant and competitive through a second clock reset.
 
Click on Details for more Details

E&P contracting brief: Part III

Dec 22: 1) Oily sludge recovery award tightens around a sub-estimate L1 at ONGC cauvery asset’s NRM GGS
8ONGC’s NRM GGS tender hard-codes output specs for oil, water, and solids, but refuses to guarantee minimum sludge volumes.
8The award spread shows two near-L1 challengers and a separate high-priced tier that appears to be pricing in mobilisation and compliance risk.
8What the bid language does not say about dispute resolution and measurement protocol may matter as much as who won.
 
2) Split award locks in two firms for safety-valve calibration and spares work asset
8ONGC’s Ahmedabad asset has split its safety-valve servicing and calibration work across two firms, signalling a preference for continuity capacity over single-vendor dependence.
8The line-item awards show sharp dispersion in values, hinting at very different work baskets hiding inside the BOQ.
 
3) ONGC Eastern Offshore asset awards VCI oil buy for G1 terminal compressor preservation
8ONGC’s eastern offshore asset has routed a compressor-preservation chemical buy through a single-tender, single-bid pathway that narrows price discovery by design.
8The award value is modest but the delivery runway and compliance architecture shift the real risk into timing, documentation, and GST discipline.
 
4) ONGC’s 2D broadband offshore seismic tender draws hard QC lines as bidders press for process and logistics relief
8ONGC is buying 2D broadband line kilometres, but it is selling almost none of the execution discretion back to contractors.
8Participated bidders are probing for relief on empanelment carry-over, monsoon demob/remob accounting, and modern data delivery.
8The answers reveal where ongc will correct document mismatches—and where it will not trade away QC leverage.
 
5) ONGC’s FMS for process instrumentation and field infocom systems tender is extended to 08 January 2026
8ONGC has pushed the bidding timeline on a technically broad FMS package that touches SCADA, RTU/DCS, instrumentation and power systems across 145 production installations and 57 rigs.
8The bid structure keeps reverse auction off and surfaces a hard performance posture via KPI-linked execution expectations.
 
6) Date extension keeps ONGC heavy electrical machines repair RC in play
8ONGC’s repair RC is not a “rewind job” tender; it is a test-gated reliability contract where acceptance bands and joint inspections do the policing.
8The real story is what the extension is trying to fix—participation, compliance readiness, or unresolved risk pricing—without conceding a single technical safeguard.

E&P contracting brief: Part IV

Dec 22: 1) Bid timeline extended to 27 December 2025 for reservoir field services call-out package
8ONGC’s MBA basin reservoir field services tender has been extended to 27 December 2025, but the extension is not a soft reset.
8Superseding price and SCC formats tighten the commercial rulebook, even as bidders attempted to reopen mobilisation and standby economics.
8ONGC largely closed those vectors, choosing instead to clarify how day-rate edge cases will be paid, turning the extension into a filter on operational discipline rather than a concession on risk.
 
2) ONGC extends RJY asset torque turn services tender as SOW hard-wires HP-HT tubing envelopes
8The RJY asset torque turn services tender has been extended with a scope of work that now explicitly locks in HP-HT tubing envelopes.
8This hard-wiring of technical limits narrows acceptable operating flexibility and pushes risk back onto service execution rather than specification debate.
8The open question is whether ONGC is using the extension to genuinely widen participation in a thin, high-spec vendor pool or simply to let unresolved clause friction cool without yielding ground.
 
3) Pre-bid clarifications flagged as uploaded, but clause-level deltas stay off-page for wireline logging units
8Oil India limited has confirmed that pre-bid conference outcomes have been uploaded under the amendments channel, without reproducing clause-level clarifications in the amendment itself.
8With Rs 8.00 crore bid security and a four-year services horizon, bidders’ exposure concentrates on the unseen Q&A responses rather than the base tender text.
8The posture signals tight contract governance, but leaves decisive technical and commercial reallocations verifiable only through direct review of the response sheet.

Bidders warn duplication inflates project cost and tariff, but PNGRB largely holds the line

Andhra ethylene cracker licensor tender hardens payment and dispute terms as bid timeline stretches

Dec 22: 8The ethylene cracker licensor package is being rewritten into a tighter, less negotiable contract even as the bid window keeps slipping. Payment-term “creativity” is now explicitly penalised, and the dispute path is steered away from arbitration and toward promoter-controlled sequencing. The quiet question is whether the tender is filtering for only a handful of licensors—or signalling unresolved risk that bidders refuse to price blind.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Dec 22: 1) IOCL’s Nagapattinam compression consultancy award crystallises into a two-bidder race with a 31.6% L2 premium
8The quiet story sits in the compliance tightening—IBC screening, bid hygiene rules, and security instruments that may have shaped who could even stay in the room.
 
2) L1 pricing breaks below estimate, but the asset class is response-critical in IOCL/WRPL Vadinar MOSRU
8The unanswered question is where the contractor plans to absorb compliance and uptime costs without degrading readiness.
 
3) IOCL Panipat refinery’s CCRU shutdown catalyst replacement award lands at estimate
8This is, while the rest of the field prices 44%–111% higher.
 
4) IOCL locks Lupech reliability into a dashboard-led rotary monitoring ARC
8The company then lands a wide-spread two-bid award
 
5) Parivesh lands a sharply underpriced eia/emp mandate for coal gasification to SNG plant at Bardhaman
8The price ladder is extreme, with L2 sitting roughly two-and-a-half times L1, raising questions about what “liaisoning” will really cost once MOEFCC queries start.
 
6) Rotostat undercuts the field to win BPCL Mumbai refinery ta 2026 package 3 lobs nhgu part a, with a 27.2% jump to l2
8The tender’s amendments quietly relax early mobilisation while hardening readiness enforcement through specific minimums and penalties. The combination sets up a contract where compliance capacity, not just price, decides who survives day one.
 
7) MRPL’s scaffolding ARC award turns into a two-bidder contest with a 195.0% price gap
8The contract’s dual-vendor intent adds a second layer of tension that will matter more than the headline L1 number.

Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids

Dec 22: 1) Sole technical bidder emerges for comp-recipro (labyrinth) package in NRL’s PPU project
8With only one technical bidder disclosedcompetitive discovery weakens.
 
2) Three-bidder technical opening after EIL’s late flare-system add-on tightens the desuperheater contest in PLL Dahej PDH-PP project
8A specific vendor list for control valves and accessories is introduced with the amendment. That reduces make variance but also narrows sourcing flexibility for bidders. It can drive hidden cost differences depending on each bidder’s approved supply chain
 
3) IOCL’s Haldia refinery super Sucker MOSRU hire tender sees 7 bidders but only 2 clear technical gate
8The SCC quietly loads availability risk onto the contractor through “extra crew at no cost”, emergency readiness, and a 24-hour repair expectation. With a buyer-set floor price and no reverse auction, the real contest shifts from price theatrics to documentation strength and execution depth.

Click on Details for more Details

Downstream contracting briefs

Dec 22: 1) GAIL’s VSPL LPG pipeline safety tender hard-codes risk contours for all scenarios, shifting QRA liability onto the agency
8The real contest will be between firms that can model and evidence risk credibly across a long, multi-site LPG system and those that only know how to format conclusions.
 
2) BPCL hard-locks MR TA 2026 UPS spares to Vertiv channel
8The proprietary gate and deviation discipline compress the bidder universe, while compliance-linked payment mechanics quietly reshape working-capital risk.
 
3) HPRGE’s 20 mw/28 MWP maharashtra solar PMC tender
8It turns consulting into open access optimisation plus day-zero document control
 
4) Bid deadline extended by 7 days for drone inspection package ahead of TA
8BPCL’s Mumbai refinery is using drone thermal and visual inspections to pull failure signals forward of the RMP-DHT turnaround window. The bid clock has been pushed by 7 days, but the bigger story is how the portal-driven pricing rules and security compliance stack quietly reshape who can even bid. The tender reads like a speed-and-control play—yet one clause mismatch hints at governance seams that vendors will watch closely.
 
5) Bid deadline pushed as IOCL’s QCBS leadership competency and assessment-centre tender seeks a viable field
8The extension lands in a limited-tender universe with portal-configured auto-extension mechanics, hinting that participation and compliance are the real constraints. What matters now is how bidders use the added days to harden the “quality story” without triggering the common GeM/ITB rejection traps.
 
6) IOCL’s Paradip refinery leak detection system tender stretches twice, then ends in a cancellation
8Two deadline extensions quietly changed the competitive physics before the tender was ultimately marked cancelled.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Dec 22: 1) GSPC hardens GeM callout nitrogen tender
8GSPC’s GeM-based callout nitrogen tender quietly embeds oilfield-grade purity, pressure, and availability thresholds that go beyond generic industrial nitrogen supply.
8These performance baselines effectively pre-filter the vendor universe before commercial discovery begins.
8The structure suggests GSPC is prioritising operational certainty over wider price-led participation.
 
2) EOI screens for ISM-compliant vessel for SPM
8The EOI uses the front-end screening stage to hard-filter vessels on ISM compliance, class, and safety management attributes that are often negotiated later in marine charters.
8The operating model introduces an O&M business partner interface, subtly reshaping instruction authority and acceptance risk at the SPM.
8A compressed EOI window further sharpens exclusion risk for borderline-compliant owners.
 
3) ONGC Cauvery asset effluent water tanker hire award shows a 10.1% L2 gap as L1 undercuts the estimate by 12.6%
8ONGC’s Cauvery asset has awarded the three-year effluent haulage contract at a price materially below its internal estimate.
8The 10.1% L2 gap indicates disciplined bidding, but the 12.6% undercut versus estimate leaves little buffer for execution slippage.
8Waiting time, routing, and utilisation risks are structurally loaded onto the contractor, turning compliance into the primary margin defence.
 
4) Pre-bid queries trigger a second bid extension to 08 January 2026, signalling substantive tender ONGC/Trombay–Uran crude transfer pipeline replacement reset
8ONGC’s second bid deadline extension is explicitly tied to pre-bid queries and subsequent addendums, not routine timeline relief.
8The linkage signals that bidders are expected to rework submissions against revised clauses and compliance matrices.
8Each reset raises participation cost and tests which bidders can sustain diligence through evolving tender architecture.
 
5) ONGC lowers financial entry gates for Ahmedabad asset fire protection LSTK revamp
8ONGC’s latest amendment leaves the fire protection revamp scope intact but rewrites the financial qualification thresholds.
8The move widens eligibility without diluting technical responsibility under the LSTK model.
8The signal is a recalibration toward competition enhancement rather than scope softening.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Dec 22: 1) Oil India tightens bid sanctity for Assam pipeline works
8The company is bundling multi-site pipeline and piping interventions across live production-handling facilities, but the sharper story is the governance machinery wrapped around it.
8A two-year suspension trigger is wired for the L1 who blinks after LOA, and a transparency field exposes “total bid value” to qualified rivals even while being declared non-evaluative.
8The technical scope that will decide execution risk sits behind the full SOQ, but the compliance and discipline levers are already doing the vendor-pool shaping.
 
2) ONGC hardwires API 4F load analysis into mast health check-up scope for workover rig
8ONGC is not buying a “visual + NDT” certificate here; it is demanding a defensible residual-life narrative anchored to API methods and member-level thickness accounting.
8The scope quietly anticipates operational constraints by asking for NDT capability even with the mast standing, tightening execution planning.
8The real story is how these technical demands reshape who can bid credibly—and what gets priced into risk.
 
3) ONGC-vl tightens CPO-5 fishing services bid around 24-hour callouts, DDP import risk, and experience-heavy PQC
8ONGC-vl’s CPO-5 fishing services package is structured less like a simple call-out and more like a test of who can pre-position capability inside Colombia.
8The technical-commercial hinge is buried in logistics and rate mechanics: 24-hour site response expectations, DDP import exposure, and a capped rulebook on when “operating” remains payable during interruptions.
8The tender’s real story is how these levers reshape who can bid credibly and how risk gets priced.
 
4) ONGC pushes dredging, depth assurance and relocation risk into a single turnkey berth package for Sagar Bhushan
8ONGC’s Sagar Bhushan berthing bid quietly rewrites “services” into a berth-guarantee contract, with the contractor made responsible for channel realities that usually sit outside a standard scope.
8The shore-power spec and the 72-hour berth/unberth clock narrow the field to ports that already run like offshore bases, not just jetties.
8But the real contest will be over who can price the hidden marine-works risk without signalling it in the headline numbers.
 
5) ONGC’s onshore IPS call-out IRC lands with an 86% pricing differential
8ONGC’s three-year onshore intelligent pigging survey framework has thrown up a bid spread that is too wide to ignore, with L2 and L3 sitting more than 86% above L1.
8The contract pack’s precedence ladder and no-minimum-quantum posture quietly reshape how contractors carry utilisation and compliance risk.
8What that combination signals about vendor strategy, and how it could harden future pipeline integrity tenders, is where the real story sits.
 
6) ONGC extends Uran 24-inch crude pipeline LSTK bids to 08 January 2026 after pre-bid reply and addendums
8ONGC has pushed its Uran 24-inch crude pipeline replacement tender into January, explicitly linking the delay to pre-bid replies and addendums.
8The shift gives EPCs more room to price HDD and brownfield interface risk, but it also stretches bid-security and bid-prep exposure inside a strict qualification cage.
8What matters now is not just the new dates, but what the addendums quietly changed—and which bidders can stay compliant and competitive through a second clock reset.
 
Click on Details for more Details

E&P contracting brief: Part III

Dec 22: 1) Oily sludge recovery award tightens around a sub-estimate L1 at ONGC cauvery asset’s NRM GGS
8ONGC’s NRM GGS tender hard-codes output specs for oil, water, and solids, but refuses to guarantee minimum sludge volumes.
8The award spread shows two near-L1 challengers and a separate high-priced tier that appears to be pricing in mobilisation and compliance risk.
8What the bid language does not say about dispute resolution and measurement protocol may matter as much as who won.
 
2) Split award locks in two firms for safety-valve calibration and spares work asset
8ONGC’s Ahmedabad asset has split its safety-valve servicing and calibration work across two firms, signalling a preference for continuity capacity over single-vendor dependence.
8The line-item awards show sharp dispersion in values, hinting at very different work baskets hiding inside the BOQ.
 
3) ONGC Eastern Offshore asset awards VCI oil buy for G1 terminal compressor preservation
8ONGC’s eastern offshore asset has routed a compressor-preservation chemical buy through a single-tender, single-bid pathway that narrows price discovery by design.
8The award value is modest but the delivery runway and compliance architecture shift the real risk into timing, documentation, and GST discipline.
 
4) ONGC’s 2D broadband offshore seismic tender draws hard QC lines as bidders press for process and logistics relief
8ONGC is buying 2D broadband line kilometres, but it is selling almost none of the execution discretion back to contractors.
8Participated bidders are probing for relief on empanelment carry-over, monsoon demob/remob accounting, and modern data delivery.
8The answers reveal where ongc will correct document mismatches—and where it will not trade away QC leverage.
 
5) ONGC’s FMS for process instrumentation and field infocom systems tender is extended to 08 January 2026
8ONGC has pushed the bidding timeline on a technically broad FMS package that touches SCADA, RTU/DCS, instrumentation and power systems across 145 production installations and 57 rigs.
8The bid structure keeps reverse auction off and surfaces a hard performance posture via KPI-linked execution expectations.
 
6) Date extension keeps ONGC heavy electrical machines repair RC in play
8ONGC’s repair RC is not a “rewind job” tender; it is a test-gated reliability contract where acceptance bands and joint inspections do the policing.
8The real story is what the extension is trying to fix—participation, compliance readiness, or unresolved risk pricing—without conceding a single technical safeguard.
 
Click on Details for more Details

E&P contracting brief: Part IV

Dec 22: 1) Bid timeline extended to 27 December 2025 for reservoir field services call-out package
8ONGC’s MBA basin reservoir field services tender has been extended to 27 December 2025, but the extension is not a soft reset.
8Superseding price and SCC formats tighten the commercial rulebook, even as bidders attempted to reopen mobilisation and standby economics.
8ONGC largely closed those vectors, choosing instead to clarify how day-rate edge cases will be paid, turning the extension into a filter on operational discipline rather than a concession on risk.
 
2) ONGC extends RJY asset torque turn services tender as SOW hard-wires HP-HT tubing envelopes
8The RJY asset torque turn services tender has been extended with a scope of work that now explicitly locks in HP-HT tubing envelopes.
8This hard-wiring of technical limits narrows acceptable operating flexibility and pushes risk back onto service execution rather than specification debate.
8The open question is whether ONGC is using the extension to genuinely widen participation in a thin, high-spec vendor pool or simply to let unresolved clause friction cool without yielding ground.
 
3) Pre-bid clarifications flagged as uploaded, but clause-level deltas stay off-page for wireline logging units
8Oil India limited has confirmed that pre-bid conference outcomes have been uploaded under the amendments channel, without reproducing clause-level clarifications in the amendment itself.
8With Rs 8.00 crore bid security and a four-year services horizon, bidders’ exposure concentrates on the unseen Q&A responses rather than the base tender text.
8The posture signals tight contract governance, but leaves decisive technical and commercial reallocations verifiable only through direct review of the response sheet.
