8Here's what's happening today in the E&P, midstream-downstream, and CGD section

8The owner is pushing a BOO model for the ASU that makes oxygen and nitrogen supply a contract weapon rather than a captive utility. The most expensive line in the document isn’t the EMD, it’s the 20% adverse-weather design margin that quietly rewrites sizing, redundancy, and tariff math. But the real fight will be at the battery limit, where steam, power, and storage obligations decide whether “round-the-clock” is enforceable or just aspirational.

8The owner is reshaping the HDD contractor market by making “single crossing, proven and tooled” the entry ticket for pan-india pipeline crossings — not just a history of smaller jobs. The 10-year equipment age ceiling and category-linked rig classes quietly redraw who can compete for future limited tenders.
