Andhra Refinery Update

Feb 17: 1) Andhra PFCCU block: Bid clock slips
8The project has now absorbed a five-step bid due-date roll, stretching the clock by 79 days. Bidder queries show why: document quantum, BEDP timelines, and a pushback against a 12-month offer lock-in.
 
2) PVC licensor tender: Derisking causes delay
8It is designed to de-risk technology selection through hard filters Hence the problem

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 17: 1) GAIL tightens EPCM evidencing and compliance gates for tower-mounted HVLRM boosters at GCUI Pata
8The real contest may hinge less on headline engineering capability and more on who can prove commissioning-grade experience without procedural slips.
 
2) HPCL extends cooling tower and CWTP tender thrice under LMBU project
8Three deadline shifts in less than a month are rarely accidental in refinery utility tenders. HPCL’s LMBU cooling tower package carries performance-loaded power guarantees that directly affect bid ranking and penalty exposure. The 24-day extension window may signal deeper bidder caution beneath a routine schedule change.

PTA consultant: What does a refiner look for?

Feb 17: 8The procurement design is telling you what kind of failure the owner fears in a PTA unit: not “lack of manpower,” but lack of lived PTA plant judgement at the exact moments that matter—start-up, commissioning, and stabilised operations.
8The eligibility language is written like a competence filter, not a paperwork checklist.

Subsea Pour Point Depressant EOI hardwires PSV-ready inventory discipline

Feb 17: 8The sharper story is how a chemical supply ask quietly becomes an offshore readiness contract, forcing vendors to hold passed stock and mobilise psv loading on short notice.
8But the clause architecture also hints at how quickly failure can escalate from a lab rejection into cancellation risk, reshaping who even dares to bid when this moves from market exploration to tender.

CBG contracting: Round-up of the day

Feb 16: 1) BPCL tightens governance around CBG techno-commercial due diligence consultant pick for Project Elektra
8It is not just buying a diligence report; it is buying a filter that will decide which CBG projects under Project Elektra pass the first reality check.
 
2) BPCL extends Saharanpur MSW-to-CBG EPCOM tender bid deadline
8BPCL’s Saharanpur MSW-to-CBG EPCOM tender has been pushed out, buying bidders time to clear a documentation-heavy eligibility gate. But the real knife-edge is the EBV model: BPCL is evaluating lifecycle cost per NM3 using five-year NPVs for O&M, energy, and waste disposals, not just EPC capex.
 
3) BPCL extends Yamuna nagar MSW-to-CBG EPCOM bid
8The 14-day deadline extension buys bidders time, but the real gate is evidence-heavy eligibility plus third-party verification discipline. A tender-ID mismatch between sources adds a procedural risk that bidders cannot ignore.

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 16: 1) PP project extruder vacuum unit tender hardens API 681 reference bars and bid-discipline levers
8The tender’s experience logic is not generic “past supply” language; it is parameter-linked and time-bounded. Vendors that cannot match driver/flow/pressure similarity bands will discover the filter is structural, not negotiable. The impact on competition will only become clear when pre-bid queries surface how many “near-fit” references get ruled out.
 
2) NRL’S SFU job-work tender hardwires oem pedigree and a 25-year indexed fee, but document-stack capacity signals clash
8The tender quietly combines a heavy Rs 9 crore security deposit with a minimum-offtake payment floor that reshapes bankability and bidder appetite.
 
3) IOCL Gujarat refinery locks CDU-VDU-VBU furnace shutdown risk into contractor controls, but a fixed-part floor mismatch hangs over reverse auction
8But the bid architecture quietly embeds a pricing split and an eligibility tripwire that can change who survives the reverse auction.
 
4) IOCL shifts paradip AVU and VGO-HDT corrosion RCA study to 20 weeks and widens damage-mechanism scope
8IOCL’s paradip refinery is no longer buying a narrow “erosion-corrosion” review; the study is being hardened into a multi-mechanism damage diagnosis with implementation-grade outputs.
 
5) IOCL extends Haldia refinery LRVP/DMF execution tender without easing “critical” eligibility gates
8The “critical” classification, no-JV stance, and strict EMD posture remain intact, keeping the bidder pool inherently narrow.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Feb 16: 1) Water-based drilling fluid engineering services with chemicals for western offshore
8The real story is how ONGC is widening governance levers like post-bid conference applicability to protect field performance and evaluation defensibility.
 
2) Cairn’s Ravva and west coast offshore campaign EoI extended
8Cairn is assembling a multi-category offshore campaign vendor pool spanning rigs, AHTS rig-move tonnage, e-line, supervision, wellheads and surface facilities.
8The EoI is qualification-heavy but leaves core commercial risk terms behind the Smart Source RFI gate.
8With the deadline stated as extended to 20 February 2026, the market will watch whether this is appetite management or unresolved scope/clarity drag.
 
3) Operator hard-wires geothermal extremes into a 90 mt, 1,500 m rig hire
8This geothermal tender forces bidders to prove they can drill in a system designed for both -23°c operations and >200°c fluid management.
8The pricing template then clamps down on standby and breakdown monetisation, narrowing the room for logistics-heavy rate strategies.
8The real gatekeeper may be bid-stage evidence verification, where third-party certification becomes a competitive weapon rather than paperwork.
 
4) ONGC’s ETP hire puts salinity reduction on the hook, alongside tight oil-and-organics outlet caps
8The vendor that wins will be the one that can turn high-TDS produced water into a predictable outlet without blinking through year five.
 
5) MOPU Hire: Bridge-linked integration makes interface risk the core technical filter
8Sour handling without AGRU pushes operational discipline to the forefront

3) Oil india limited extends closing for surface production testing accessories
8The real question is whether this added runway improves participation or merely delays compliance bottlenecks.

CBG contracting: Round-up of the day

Feb 16: 1) BPCL tightens governance around CBG techno-commercial due diligence consultant pick for Project Elektra
8It is not just buying a diligence report; it is buying a filter that will decide which CBG projects under Project Elektra pass the first reality check.
 
2) BPCL extends Saharanpur MSW-to-CBG EPCOM tender bid deadline
8BPCL’s Saharanpur MSW-to-CBG EPCOM tender has been pushed out, buying bidders time to clear a documentation-heavy eligibility gate. But the real knife-edge is the EBV model: BPCL is evaluating lifecycle cost per NM3 using five-year NPVs for O&M, energy, and waste disposals, not just EPC capex.
 
3) BPCL extends Yamuna nagar MSW-to-CBG EPCOM bid
8The 14-day deadline extension buys bidders time, but the real gate is evidence-heavy eligibility plus third-party verification discipline. A tender-ID mismatch between sources adds a procedural risk that bidders cannot ignore.

Downstream contracting briefs

Feb 16: 1) PP project extruder vacuum unit tender hardens API 681 reference bars and bid-discipline levers
8The tender’s experience logic is not generic “past supply” language; it is parameter-linked and time-bounded. Vendors that cannot match driver/flow/pressure similarity bands will discover the filter is structural, not negotiable. The impact on competition will only become clear when pre-bid queries surface how many “near-fit” references get ruled out.
 
2) NRL’S SFU job-work tender hardwires oem pedigree and a 25-year indexed fee, but document-stack capacity signals clash
8The tender quietly combines a heavy Rs 9 crore security deposit with a minimum-offtake payment floor that reshapes bankability and bidder appetite.
 
3) IOCL Gujarat refinery locks CDU-VDU-VBU furnace shutdown risk into contractor controls, but a fixed-part floor mismatch hangs over reverse auction
8But the bid architecture quietly embeds a pricing split and an eligibility tripwire that can change who survives the reverse auction.
 
4) IOCL shifts paradip AVU and VGO-HDT corrosion RCA study to 20 weeks and widens damage-mechanism scope
8IOCL’s paradip refinery is no longer buying a narrow “erosion-corrosion” review; the study is being hardened into a multi-mechanism damage diagnosis with implementation-grade outputs.
 
5) IOCL extends Haldia refinery LRVP/DMF execution tender without easing “critical” eligibility gates
8The “critical” classification, no-JV stance, and strict EMD posture remain intact, keeping the bidder pool inherently narrow.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Feb 16: 1) Water-based drilling fluid engineering services with chemicals for western offshore
8The real story is how ONGC is widening governance levers like post-bid conference applicability to protect field performance and evaluation defensibility.
 
2) Cairn’s Ravva and west coast offshore campaign EoI extended
8Cairn is assembling a multi-category offshore campaign vendor pool spanning rigs, AHTS rig-move tonnage, e-line, supervision, wellheads and surface facilities.
8The EoI is qualification-heavy but leaves core commercial risk terms behind the Smart Source RFI gate.
8With the deadline stated as extended to 20 February 2026, the market will watch whether this is appetite management or unresolved scope/clarity drag.
 
3) Operator hard-wires geothermal extremes into a 90 mt, 1,500 m rig hire
8This geothermal tender forces bidders to prove they can drill in a system designed for both -23°c operations and >200°c fluid management.
8The pricing template then clamps down on standby and breakdown monetisation, narrowing the room for logistics-heavy rate strategies.
8The real gatekeeper may be bid-stage evidence verification, where third-party certification becomes a competitive weapon rather than paperwork.
 
4) ONGC’s ETP hire puts salinity reduction on the hook, alongside tight oil-and-organics outlet caps
8The vendor that wins will be the one that can turn high-TDS produced water into a predictable outlet without blinking through year five.
 
5) MOPU Hire: Bridge-linked integration makes interface risk the core technical filter
8Sour handling without AGRU pushes operational discipline to the forefront

3) Oil india limited extends closing for surface production testing accessories
8The real question is whether this added runway improves participation or merely delays compliance bottlenecks.
