Indian Oil's Axens catalyst dilemma: Where does responsibility end?
Nov 06: 8Several Axens-licensed refinery units operate with catalysts supplied by competing vendors. 8The proposed agreement restricts Axens' troubleshooting responsibility for problems associated with those catalysts. 8This creates an important question over accountability when process performance deteriorates and the cause cannot immediately be isolated.

Coal-to-Synthetic Natural Gas Project Updates
Nov 04: 1) Coal India–Bharat Petroleum's air separation project: Who pays for 23,500 Nm³/hr of additional oxygen capacity? 8The proposed gasification complex requires 116,500 Nm³/hr of oxygen during normal operation, against a peak requirement of 140,000 Nm³/hr. 8That leaves a 23,500 Nm³/hr difference between normal and peak requirements that must be considered in the plant design. 8The crucial question is how this capacity affects investment recovery under the 25-year supply contract.
2) Coal Gas India's Bardhaman gasification project retains 120% performance guarantee despite contractor objections 8Coal Gas India Limited has refused to remove the requirement to demonstrate performance at 120% of design capacity, even after a bidder argued that the higher figure should be used only for equipment sizing. 8The decision could force contractors to reassess technology selection, equipment margins and the cost of guaranteeing performance beyond normal operating capacity. 8The deeper question is whether the shortlisted gasification technologies can satisfy the guarantee without materially increasing project costs.

Nov 04: 8OIL has extended its six-rig workover tender to 10 November 2026 after nine amendments and a 96-day shift from the original deadline. 8Major equipment specifications have been relaxed, but the company has refused bidder requests to soften mobilisation-linked contract deductions and payment restrictions. 8The contrast raises a critical question about whether technical concessions can overcome the contract's commercial risks.

Coal-to-Synthetic Natural Gas Project Updates
Nov 04: 1) Coal India–Bharat Petroleum's air separation project: Who pays for 23,500 Nm³/hr of additional oxygen capacity? 8The proposed gasification complex requires 116,500 Nm³/hr of oxygen during normal operation, against a peak requirement of 140,000 Nm³/hr. 8That leaves a 23,500 Nm³/hr difference between normal and peak requirements that must be considered in the plant design. 8The crucial question is how this capacity affects investment recovery under the 25-year supply contract.
2) Coal Gas India's Bardhaman gasification project retains 120% performance guarantee despite contractor objections 8Coal Gas India Limited has refused to remove the requirement to demonstrate performance at 120% of design capacity, even after a bidder argued that the higher figure should be used only for equipment sizing. 8The decision could force contractors to reassess technology selection, equipment margins and the cost of guaranteeing performance beyond normal operating capacity. 8The deeper question is whether the shortlisted gasification technologies can satisfy the guarantee without materially increasing project costs.
