Refiner’s Rs 0.00 CO2-capture award is not a price result — it is a contest for control of commercialization

Aug 05: 8Four companies appear in the award list at Rs 0.00, making conventional L1 analysis largely meaningless. The real competition is likely to emerge around licensing rights, customer ownership, royalty sharing and responsibility for scale-up. The unanswered question is whether the company is creating partners, channels or future competitors around its own technology.

GAIL quietly narrows India's pipeline PMC market to just two serious contenders for the Bidadi–Poonapalli project

Aug 05: 8Three bidders entered the race, but only two survived technical evaluation. That is more than a bidder update—it reflects how demanding GAIL's qualification architecture has become. The implications extend well beyond this 65.40 km pipeline.

Indian Oil seeks a refinery-wide safety culture reset: But the money is too small

Aug 05: 8Indian Oil wants a maturity assessment covering roughly 1,200 employees and 15,000 contract workers, supported by physical interviews, bilingual questionnaires and a management roadmap. Yet the GST-inclusive estimate is only Rs 7.89 lakh. The tension between survey depth and budget could determine whether the exercise becomes a serious HSE diagnostic or a compliance-led study.
8It is these kind of reserve prices that makes a good proposal pedestrian.

Aug 05: 8The company is seeking a consultant to test whether its polymers, refinery chemicals, coatings, additives and bitumen technologies can command real markets.

OIL resets 2000 HP rig mobilisation around complete site readiness but leaves the handover test undefined 

Aug 05: 8OIL has tied mobilisation of two 2000 HP rigs to readiness of both the plinth and approach road, changing a critical project interface.
8The contractor gains protection from client-side site delay, but the 60-day clock still contracts when layout drawings arrive late.
8The commercial outcome now turns on a term the corrigendum does not define.

Oil India extends six-rig workover tender after rewriting transport, BOP and defect-liability terms 

Aug 05: 8Oil India’s latest amendment does far more than add 21 days to its six-rig procurement.
8It opens the door to different substructure configurations while tightening the transport envelope and BOP allocation.
8The commercial significance lies in how certification, manpower replacement and post-demobilisation liability have been redistributed.

Oil India cancels four-year western India core-analysis tender after sole disclosed bidder Stratum Reservoir is disqualified

Aug 05: 8Oil India’s attempt to combine core logistics with advanced conventional, unconventional and heavy-oil analysis has ended without an award.
8The cancelled procurement covered a technically demanding chain spanning resistivity, NMR, SCAL, rock mechanics and reservoir-condition formation-damage testing.
8What turned this ambitious laboratory programme into a single-bidder failure lies in the tender’s unresolved capability and risk boundaries.

Five bidders clear Oil India Limited’s offshore vessel screen as three fall out without disclosed reasons 

Aug 05: 8Oil India Limited widened the route into its 36-month OSV charter but still eliminated three of eight participants before price competition.
8The surviving field combines established offshore operators with a national shipping major, even as the tender preserves stringent vessel and risk conditions.
8What separated the five qualified bids from the three rejected offers remains hidden in the supplied evaluation record.

Three of five bidders clear OIL’s specialised Assam low-mast workover rig tender after a narrow HSD risk reversal

Aug 05: 8OIL held firm on the specifications that determine whether bidders can deploy an existing rig or must fund a specialised asset.
8Yet one repeatedly contested operating-cost provision was reversed after the initial clarifications.
8The resulting three-two qualification split conceals a deeper contest over which risks OIL was willing to rebalance.

Today's update in E&P, Midstream-Downstream & CGD sector

Aug 05: 8Here's what's happening today in the E&P, midstream-downstream, and CGD section
Click on Reports for more Details Details

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Aug 05: 1) GAIL’s Pata shutdown flexibility could become the contractor’s hidden cost centre
8The five HRSGs may be handed over in separate operating windows, with gaps of 1 to 1.5 months or more. Bidders must absorb repeated mobilisation, demobilisation and resource retention without additional payment. The clause could materially alter how serious inspection agencies price the job.

2) BPCL’s Bina expansion pump tender reaches sixth extension as the API 610 package gains 62 days
8The unresolved question is whether the additional time protects competition or transfers a deeper schedule problem into project execution.

3) BPCL’s Kochi polypropylene package shifts 26 days as technical uncertainty outlasts the original bidding window
8The tender moved through three extensions from 16 July to 11 August 2026. The notices provide more time but no official explanation for the repeated changes. The technical record shows why the additional window may have become necessary.

4) IOCL’s 6,000 MT cetane improver contract concentrates more than half the volume at Paradip refinery
8Paradip alone accounts for 3,476 MT, making its drum-supply economics central to the overall landed-cost ranking. Yet bidders must quote for all nine refineries rather than optimise around the dominant destination. The resulting logistics equation could determine which manufacturers remain genuinely competitive.

5) GAIL’s Bengaluru CBG tender slips 25 days as EPCOM risk tests bidder appetite
8The repeated slippage comes without any relaxation in technical qualification, EMD or long-term operating responsibility. The unanswered question is whether bidders need more time to price the plant, or whether the qualified vendor pool is thinner than expected.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Aug 05: 1) KLL extends Dabhol navigational-channel bathymetry tender as vessel mobilisation and unpaid standby risks sharpen
8KLL has given bidders six additional days after clarifying a marine-survey contract that places vessel availability and waiting costs firmly on the service provider. The critical issue is not the echo-sounding scope alone, but how a seven-day mobilisation window interacts with annualised-value penalties and unpaid operational downtime. The extension provides more pricing time without settling several variables that could determine bidder appetite and execution economics.

2) IOCL’s Paradip catalyst tender exposes the limits of competition inside a five-vendor club
8IOCL has removed conventional turnover and experience thresholds, but the Rs 8.52 crore package remains closed to five approved contractors.

3) BPCL’s seven-day extension preserves a demanding 5 kg-to-100 kg polymer scale-up sequence at Greater Noida
8The deadline has moved, but the staged technical programme remains intact. Three successful 5 kg batches must still precede demonstration of at least one successful 100 kg batch. The unchanged sequence leaves the core scale-up challenge unresolved.

4) IOCL gives Haldia Refinery flare consultants seven extra days but leaves the extension trigger unexplained
8The closing date has moved from 5 August 2026 to 12 August 2026, a net shift of seven days. That interval exactly matches the bid’s configured automatic-extension period. Whether participation or clarification pressure caused the movement remains undisclosed.

5) Delayed piperack, not process-unit construction, may be the real critical path for IOCL’s BR-9 expansion
8AVU-4 and OHCU were approaching mechanical completion while the main piperack and permanent flare headers were running behind schedule. That mismatch shows how common infrastructure can hold up billions of rupees of downstream capacity even when individual units are nearly ready. IOCL’s cancellation leaves the revised commissioning sequence unclear.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Aug 05: 1) ONGC puts 70% of GCP Wadu O&M payments behind compressor availability and operating discipline
8ONGC has recast GCP Wadu’s five-year O&M requirement as an availability contract rather than a conventional manpower deployment.
8Siemens Energy must integrate compressor reliability, instrumentation integrity, statutory compliance and plant-wide operating control under a single accountability framework.
8The crucial tension lies in how the tender separates contractor failure from ageing equipment, gas-side disturbances and ONGC-controlled inputs.
 
2) ONGC puts offshore drilling reliability behind a condition-led repair contract for heavy electrical machines
8ONGC is tying the restoration of drilling-critical motors, alternators, brakes and transformers to joint diagnostics and measurable workshop acceptance.
8VPI, dynamic balancing, staged inspection and machine-specific test envelopes create a technically demanding gateway to the three-year programme.
8The deeper tension lies in who carries the cost when dismantling exposes work that the original schedule did not anticipate.
 
3) Oil India’s barytes tender eliminates four of nine bidders before the 37,800-MT price contest in Oil India barytes procurement
8Oil India’s drilling-grade barytes tender has lost 44.4% of its participating field at the technical stage.
8Five suppliers remain eligible for a tightly controlled 14-rake programme carrying laboratory, inspection and logistics gates.
8The evaluation record leaves a critical question unanswered about what separated the qualified suppliers from the four rejected offers.
 
4) ONGC tightens NeSL bid-security timing while opening a controlled PBG cure route for the MH Asset LED replacement project
8ONGC’s latest corrigendum leaves the seven-platform LED scope untouched but materially changes how financial instruments can decide bid survival.
8A bidder gains relief on SFMS documentation and possible EMD adjustment, yet faces a harder electronic timestamp and an express post-award enforcement ladder.
8The real consequence emerges where banking execution, offshore mobilisation and a 210-day first-delivery milestone collide.
 
5) ONGC’s latest  waste heat recovery unit  corrigendum deletes the SFMS bid-security route while widening offshore scrap delivery to Pipavav
8ONGC has left the eight-unit offshore WHRU replacement scope intact but redrawn the security and dismantled-material logistics around it.
8A new NeSL cut-off can now defeat an otherwise timely bid, while failure to furnish post-award security carries consequences beyond a monthly charge.
8The interaction between the deleted SFMS clause, alternative scrap port and missing tender schedule holds the deeper contracting risk.
 
Click on Details for more Details

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Aug 05: 1) ONGC’s latest G1 and R1-E1 subsea tie-in corrigendum hardens e-BG timing but leaves the SFMS route internally conflicted
8ONGC has shifted the latest G1 and R1-E1 subsea tender amendment away from engineering changes and into the mechanics of bid and performance security.
8A new NeSL cut-off and sharper post-award consequences could make bank execution as decisive as subsea capability.
8But one surviving set of SFMS references leaves a critical admissibility question unresolved.
 
2) Oil India corrigendum eases refloat certification but leaves a critical TPIA clause blank in its 20-inch casing tender
8Oil India has opened a six-month route for reusing certified qualification records in its 12,000 m casing procurement.
8The relief lowers repeat-bid friction while a 135-day EMD requirement preserves the client’s commercial protection.
8Yet the corrigendum’s supersession language exposes an unresolved clause-level anomaly with consequences beyond administrative convenience.
 
3) ONGC opens OEM sourcing but retains brownfield design risk as Hazira cathodic protection tender extends
8ONGC has widened equipment sourcing and released missing technical references for its Hazira cathodic protection revamp.
8Yet route verification, legacy-data gaps and multidisciplinary LSTK interfaces remain firmly with the contractor.
 
4) ONGC widens OGT Mallavaram bidder pool but shifts final brownfield risk deeper into LSTK bids as closing is extended
8ONGC has moved the OGT Mallavaram bid deadline while relaxing one pivotal piping-experience threshold.
8The change may expand competition, but the contractor still faces undefined quantities, owner-controlled DCS interfaces and stricter security compliance.
8The real commercial consequence lies in how bidders price those retained uncertainties.
 
5) ONGC extends Ahmedabad drilling-rig firefighting AMC after security-route deletions and a price-sheet correction
8ONGC’s Ahmedabad Asset has extended a safety-critical firefighting AMC after narrowing acceptable BG routes and identifying locked commercial cells.
8The revised price mechanism forces bidders to bridge Table 4.G, cell H-16 and the GeM ranking value through manual calculations.
8What appears to be a routine seven-day extension therefore carries a deeper qualification and evaluation risk.
 
6) ONGC pushes Pipeline Laying Project bidding after six extensions and a 138-day reset
8ONGC has given marine-spread bidders another 33 days after repeatedly rewriting the commercial architecture of its five-season offshore pipeline contract.
8The latest extension follows lower performance security, restored escalation and wider freedom over vendors and yards.
8What the 138-day reset says about participation and interface readiness lies deeper in the tender trail.

E&P contracting brief for the day

Aug 04: 1) PEL’s North Karanpura rig tender turns mechanical reliability into the decisive commercial variable
8PEL requires a complete rotary workover package for continuous CBM well interventions.
8Repair compensation is capped at 50% of the operating rate and ends after the permitted downtime window.
8The eventual price comparison will reveal how much reliability risk bidders are prepared to absorb.
 
2) ONGC awards four-asset drilling O&M package to Ansh Petro at Rs 68.73 crore
8ONGC’s consolidated drilling/workover O&M award places Ansh Petro only 1.2% below North Eastern Drilling and Workover Services.
8The winner must serve four geographically dispersed assets under KPI-linked payments after ONGC removed its wage-reimbursement component.
8Whether that narrow winning price adequately covers labour escalation and multi-asset execution is the question behind the result.
 
3) ONGC bars SFMS security for 869-phase offshore WBM tender but retains the route inside its revised clause
8ONGC’s corrigendum says SFMS BG will not be accepted for its three-year offshore mud-engineering contract.
8Yet revised GCC Clause 10 still lists SFMS BG and preserves the procedure for submitting it.
8That contradiction now sits beside a 30-day PBG deadline carrying invoice deductions, termination and vendor-policy exposure.
 
4) ONGC turns delayed PBG into termination and vendor-policy risk in seismic-services corrigendum
8ONGC’s latest corrigendum leaves the four-sector seismic scope untouched but materially changes what happens when performance security arrives late.
8A 1.5% monthly recovery now depends on an approved extension requested at least ten days before the deadline, while an unapproved delay can reach termination, EMD forfeiture and vendor-policy action.
8The unresolved question is whether bidders’ banking workflows can match a compliance clock that may begin with the GeM contract itself.
 
5) ONGC gives Drillmec seven more days to price five-year rig support without disclosing the workload
8ONGC has extended its sole-source Drillmec FSR tender while leaving the five-year operational framework unchanged.
8The OEM must support critical rig systems across shifting onshore locations, mobilise within 24 hours for emergencies and maintain round-the-clock remote assistance without any disclosed minimum workload.
8The extra week raises a sharper question about which commercial assumption remains unresolved.

Refiner’s Rs 0.00 CO2-capture award is not a price result — it is a contest for control of commercialization

Aug 05: 8Four companies appear in the award list at Rs 0.00, making conventional L1 analysis largely meaningless. The real competition is likely to emerge around licensing rights, customer ownership, royalty sharing and responsibility for scale-up. The unanswered question is whether the company is creating partners, channels or future competitors around its own technology.

GAIL quietly narrows India's pipeline PMC market to just two serious contenders for the Bidadi–Poonapalli project

Indian Oil seeks a refinery-wide safety culture reset: But the money is too small

Aug 05: 8Indian Oil wants a maturity assessment covering roughly 1,200 employees and 15,000 contract workers, supported by physical interviews, bilingual questionnaires and a management roadmap. Yet the GST-inclusive estimate is only Rs 7.89 lakh. The tension between survey depth and budget could determine whether the exercise becomes a serious HSE diagnostic or a compliance-led study.
8It is these kind of reserve prices that makes a good proposal pedestrian.

OIL resets 2000 HP rig mobilisation around complete site readiness but leaves the handover test undefined 

Aug 05: 8OIL has tied mobilisation of two 2000 HP rigs to readiness of both the plinth and approach road, changing a critical project interface.

Oil India extends six-rig workover tender after rewriting transport, BOP and defect-liability terms

8The commercial significance lies in how certification, manpower replacement and post-demobilisation liability have been redistributed.

Oil India cancels four-year western India core-analysis tender after sole disclosed bidder Stratum Reservoir is disqualified

Aug 05: 8Oil India’s attempt to combine core logistics with advanced conventional, unconventional and heavy-oil analysis has ended without an award.
8The cancelled procurement covered a technically demanding chain spanning resistivity, NMR, SCAL, rock mechanics and reservoir-condition formation-damage testing.
8What turned this ambitious laboratory programme into a single-bidder failure lies in the tender’s unresolved capability and risk boundaries.

8What separated the five qualified bids from the three rejected offers remains hidden in the supplied evaluation record.

8The resulting three-two qualification split conceals a deeper contest over which risks OIL was willing to rebalance.

Today's update in E&P, Midstream-Downstream & CGD sector

Aug 05: 8Here's what's happening today in the E&P, midstream-downstream, and CGD section
Click on Reports for more Details Details

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Aug 05: 1) GAIL’s Pata shutdown flexibility could become the contractor’s hidden cost centre
8The five HRSGs may be handed over in separate operating windows, with gaps of 1 to 1.5 months or more. Bidders must absorb repeated mobilisation, demobilisation and resource retention without additional payment. The clause could materially alter how serious inspection agencies price the job.

2) BPCL’s Bina expansion pump tender reaches sixth extension as the API 610 package gains 62 days
8The unresolved question is whether the additional time protects competition or transfers a deeper schedule problem into project execution.

3) BPCL’s Kochi polypropylene package shifts 26 days as technical uncertainty outlasts the original bidding window
8The tender moved through three extensions from 16 July to 11 August 2026. The notices provide more time but no official explanation for the repeated changes. The technical record shows why the additional window may have become necessary.

4) IOCL’s 6,000 MT cetane improver contract concentrates more than half the volume at Paradip refinery
8Paradip alone accounts for 3,476 MT, making its drum-supply economics central to the overall landed-cost ranking. Yet bidders must quote for all nine refineries rather than optimise around the dominant destination. The resulting logistics equation could determine which manufacturers remain genuinely competitive.

5) GAIL’s Bengaluru CBG tender slips 25 days as EPCOM risk tests bidder appetite
8The repeated slippage comes without any relaxation in technical qualification, EMD or long-term operating responsibility. The unanswered question is whether bidders need more time to price the plant, or whether the qualified vendor pool is thinner than expected.

Click on Details for more Details

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Aug 05: 1) KLL extends Dabhol navigational-channel bathymetry tender as vessel mobilisation and unpaid standby risks sharpen
8KLL has given bidders six additional days after clarifying a marine-survey contract that places vessel availability and waiting costs firmly on the service provider. The critical issue is not the echo-sounding scope alone, but how a seven-day mobilisation window interacts with annualised-value penalties and unpaid operational downtime. The extension provides more pricing time without settling several variables that could determine bidder appetite and execution economics.

2) IOCL’s Paradip catalyst tender exposes the limits of competition inside a five-vendor club
8IOCL has removed conventional turnover and experience thresholds, but the Rs 8.52 crore package remains closed to five approved contractors.

3) BPCL’s seven-day extension preserves a demanding 5 kg-to-100 kg polymer scale-up sequence at Greater Noida
8The deadline has moved, but the staged technical programme remains intact. Three successful 5 kg batches must still precede demonstration of at least one successful 100 kg batch. The unchanged sequence leaves the core scale-up challenge unresolved.

4) IOCL gives Haldia Refinery flare consultants seven extra days but leaves the extension trigger unexplained
8The closing date has moved from 5 August 2026 to 12 August 2026, a net shift of seven days. That interval exactly matches the bid’s configured automatic-extension period. Whether participation or clarification pressure caused the movement remains undisclosed.

5) Delayed piperack, not process-unit construction, may be the real critical path for IOCL’s BR-9 expansion
8AVU-4 and OHCU were approaching mechanical completion while the main piperack and permanent flare headers were running behind schedule. That mismatch shows how common infrastructure can hold up billions of rupees of downstream capacity even when individual units are nearly ready. IOCL’s cancellation leaves the revised commissioning sequence unclear.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Aug 05: 1) ONGC puts 70% of GCP Wadu O&M payments behind compressor availability and operating discipline
8ONGC has recast GCP Wadu’s five-year O&M requirement as an availability contract rather than a conventional manpower deployment.
8Siemens Energy must integrate compressor reliability, instrumentation integrity, statutory compliance and plant-wide operating control under a single accountability framework.
8The crucial tension lies in how the tender separates contractor failure from ageing equipment, gas-side disturbances and ONGC-controlled inputs.
 
2) ONGC puts offshore drilling reliability behind a condition-led repair contract for heavy electrical machines
8ONGC is tying the restoration of drilling-critical motors, alternators, brakes and transformers to joint diagnostics and measurable workshop acceptance.
8VPI, dynamic balancing, staged inspection and machine-specific test envelopes create a technically demanding gateway to the three-year programme.
8The deeper tension lies in who carries the cost when dismantling exposes work that the original schedule did not anticipate.
 
3) Oil India’s barytes tender eliminates four of nine bidders before the 37,800-MT price contest in Oil India barytes procurement
8Oil India’s drilling-grade barytes tender has lost 44.4% of its participating field at the technical stage.
8Five suppliers remain eligible for a tightly controlled 14-rake programme carrying laboratory, inspection and logistics gates.
8The evaluation record leaves a critical question unanswered about what separated the qualified suppliers from the four rejected offers.
 
4) ONGC tightens NeSL bid-security timing while opening a controlled PBG cure route for the MH Asset LED replacement project
8ONGC’s latest corrigendum leaves the seven-platform LED scope untouched but materially changes how financial instruments can decide bid survival.
8A bidder gains relief on SFMS documentation and possible EMD adjustment, yet faces a harder electronic timestamp and an express post-award enforcement ladder.
8The real consequence emerges where banking execution, offshore mobilisation and a 210-day first-delivery milestone collide.
 
5) ONGC’s latest  waste heat recovery unit  corrigendum deletes the SFMS bid-security route while widening offshore scrap delivery to Pipavav
8ONGC has left the eight-unit offshore WHRU replacement scope intact but redrawn the security and dismantled-material logistics around it.
8A new NeSL cut-off can now defeat an otherwise timely bid, while failure to furnish post-award security carries consequences beyond a monthly charge.
8The interaction between the deleted SFMS clause, alternative scrap port and missing tender schedule holds the deeper contracting risk.
 
Click on Details for more Details

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Aug 05: 1) ONGC’s latest G1 and R1-E1 subsea tie-in corrigendum hardens e-BG timing but leaves the SFMS route internally conflicted
8ONGC has shifted the latest G1 and R1-E1 subsea tender amendment away from engineering changes and into the mechanics of bid and performance security.
8A new NeSL cut-off and sharper post-award consequences could make bank execution as decisive as subsea capability.
8But one surviving set of SFMS references leaves a critical admissibility question unresolved.
 
2) Oil India corrigendum eases refloat certification but leaves a critical TPIA clause blank in its 20-inch casing tender
8Oil India has opened a six-month route for reusing certified qualification records in its 12,000 m casing procurement.
8The relief lowers repeat-bid friction while a 135-day EMD requirement preserves the client’s commercial protection.
8Yet the corrigendum’s supersession language exposes an unresolved clause-level anomaly with consequences beyond administrative convenience.
 
3) ONGC opens OEM sourcing but retains brownfield design risk as Hazira cathodic protection tender extends
8ONGC has widened equipment sourcing and released missing technical references for its Hazira cathodic protection revamp.
8Yet route verification, legacy-data gaps and multidisciplinary LSTK interfaces remain firmly with the contractor.
 
4) ONGC widens OGT Mallavaram bidder pool but shifts final brownfield risk deeper into LSTK bids as closing is extended
8ONGC has moved the OGT Mallavaram bid deadline while relaxing one pivotal piping-experience threshold.
8The change may expand competition, but the contractor still faces undefined quantities, owner-controlled DCS interfaces and stricter security compliance.
8The real commercial consequence lies in how bidders price those retained uncertainties.
 
5) ONGC extends Ahmedabad drilling-rig firefighting AMC after security-route deletions and a price-sheet correction
8ONGC’s Ahmedabad Asset has extended a safety-critical firefighting AMC after narrowing acceptable BG routes and identifying locked commercial cells.
8The revised price mechanism forces bidders to bridge Table 4.G, cell H-16 and the GeM ranking value through manual calculations.
8What appears to be a routine seven-day extension therefore carries a deeper qualification and evaluation risk.
 
6) ONGC pushes Pipeline Laying Project bidding after six extensions and a 138-day reset
8ONGC has given marine-spread bidders another 33 days after repeatedly rewriting the commercial architecture of its five-season offshore pipeline contract.
8The latest extension follows lower performance security, restored escalation and wider freedom over vendors and yards.
8What the 138-day reset says about participation and interface readiness lies deeper in the tender trail.

E&P contracting brief for the day

Aug 04: 1) PEL’s North Karanpura rig tender turns mechanical reliability into the decisive commercial variable
8PEL requires a complete rotary workover package for continuous CBM well interventions.
8Repair compensation is capped at 50% of the operating rate and ends after the permitted downtime window.
8The eventual price comparison will reveal how much reliability risk bidders are prepared to absorb.
 
2) ONGC awards four-asset drilling O&M package to Ansh Petro at Rs 68.73 crore
8ONGC’s consolidated drilling/workover O&M award places Ansh Petro only 1.2% below North Eastern Drilling and Workover Services.
8The winner must serve four geographically dispersed assets under KPI-linked payments after ONGC removed its wage-reimbursement component.
8Whether that narrow winning price adequately covers labour escalation and multi-asset execution is the question behind the result.
 
3) ONGC bars SFMS security for 869-phase offshore WBM tender but retains the route inside its revised clause
8ONGC’s corrigendum says SFMS BG will not be accepted for its three-year offshore mud-engineering contract.
8Yet revised GCC Clause 10 still lists SFMS BG and preserves the procedure for submitting it.
8That contradiction now sits beside a 30-day PBG deadline carrying invoice deductions, termination and vendor-policy exposure.
 
4) ONGC turns delayed PBG into termination and vendor-policy risk in seismic-services corrigendum
8ONGC’s latest corrigendum leaves the four-sector seismic scope untouched but materially changes what happens when performance security arrives late.
8A 1.5% monthly recovery now depends on an approved extension requested at least ten days before the deadline, while an unapproved delay can reach termination, EMD forfeiture and vendor-policy action.
8The unresolved question is whether bidders’ banking workflows can match a compliance clock that may begin with the GeM contract itself.
 
5) ONGC gives Drillmec seven more days to price five-year rig support without disclosing the workload
8ONGC has extended its sole-source Drillmec FSR tender while leaving the five-year operational framework unchanged.
8The OEM must support critical rig systems across shifting onshore locations, mobilise within 24 hours for emergencies and maintain round-the-clock remote assistance without any disclosed minimum workload.
8The extra week raises a sharper question about which commercial assumption remains unresolved.
