Lateral drilling will be not just to evade environment ministry sanctions
8OIL wants to tap into multilayerd complex wells, and they want to drill anywhere between 25 to 40 of them over the next few years.
8So there is a lot of money waiting for contractors, and smaller contractors must know which doors to knock

The well is a depth of 5600 metres, the bottomhole pressure (BHP) is 17,754 psi, and the temperature is 120°C.
8Two companies are going to involved in drilling this well

8Up to 6550 metres, and 13,000 psi, this is anothe well that is now waiting to be drilled Abandoned at 5891metres, this ultra-high-pressure location may get a second life
8But the contract award is crawling.

ONGC’s environmental tender drew bids from Rs 47 lakh to Rs 3.4 crore.
8With nine technically qualified bidders, the spread points to either aggressive underbidding or wildly differing operational models
8This is a case for pricing vs. quality scrutiny.
8The winning vendor will oversee over 18,000 samples, covering air, stack, noise, mercury, and oil-in-cuttings across more than 80 installations and rigs.
8A massive statutory compliance exercise now rides on L1’s cost-effective execution given its low bid price.

8Are there high-risk Maoist areas in Maharashtra?
8For, surveyors must proactively route around high-risk Maoist areas and ensure pipeline accessibility through public road networks.
8That is going to be tricky

8It is very interesting, as the what is sought is a full spectrum tie-up
8And the PSU will most likely act as an agent

Foot patrolling in the North East is a tough job
8And even though such a contract can be lucrative, bidders are difficult to find
8One bidder participated but was promptly disqualified
8It could either be inability for risk tolerance, or possibly unrealistic load.

The tender scope spans both onshore (Mallavaram, Vakalapudi) and offshore (PLQP, CPPLQUP) stations — demanding hybrid manning models, 24/7 readiness, and crew rotation logistics across zones.
8Familiar names like Akshar Fire and HSE Integro will now battle it out over technical scores and pricing finesse.

ONGC’s aim to onboard more consultants alongside its existing 10 empanelled vendors was derailed as every new applicant got technically rejected.
8This is a blow to mid-tier firms looking to enter the elite pool.

The industry’s biggest names are eyeing ONGC’s real-time data aggregation contract for 36–46 rigs.
8Their pre-bid queries indicate intense focus on cloud, analytics integration, and bandwidth handling in low-connectivity zones.
8Real-time data from over 70 rigs—integrated, analyzed, and visualized centrally—is no longer a side project. ONGC’s RTDOC + Tiered Cloud/On-Prem solution signals a fundamental shift in upstream digital operations.
8ONGC revised cloud uptime to 99.9%, shortened VAPT cycles to 6 months, and defined a 6-month exit support window. Vendors must now build fault-tolerant, future-proof systems.
8With dashboards supporting 400 parameters per rig and HMIs required at both drill floor and RTDOC, the specs challenge vendors to blend hardware ruggedness with real-time data agility.

A 250 HP leverage has been given to favour contractors could tilt the field in favour of contractors with newer, higher-torque assets
8This can be a game-changer in an otherwise narrow equipment profile.

Six deadline shifts reveal a complex matrix of pre-bid clarifications, documentation overload, and possible bidder-OEM alignment struggles for India’s biggest rig charter.
8Industry insiders note that extensions often reflect backend alignment challenges — rig fabrication, crew sourcing, and logistics across different locations, requiring detailed pre-bid strategy.

With Western India awash in storage, the cost of building big may no longer add up.
8And that is the reason why this company decided to back out

Dahej pump tender draws full house—eight bids opened
8Intense competition emerges for special-purpose pump package as EIL finalizes technical scrutiny in PDH-PP project.
8Despite restricted bidding, the tender's deep technical demands signal a push for high-spec, high-performance gear.
8And bidders are willing to level up to that
Six vie for duplex heat exchanger package at Dahej PP project
8EIL's high-spec stainless steel heat exchanger tender sees aggressive participation from top fabricators amid rising duplex steel demand in Indian petrochemicals.
7 contenders in race for air cooler package

Heat exchanger battle heats up: 6 contenders vie for duplex SS package at PDH unit
8With major fabricators in fray, the PDH-PP project at Dahej witnesses high competition for critical heat exchanger supply.
Record-Breaking Tender Spread Of Rs. 118 crore
8The lowest bid was 1,200 times cheaper than the highest
8This is a signal of aggressive pricing or strategic sourcing in India’s valve manufacturing sector

The inclusion of “T3” as an approved OEM for BOPs, alongside WOM and Cameron, gave bidders wider sourcing options
8But this also triggered a last-minute revision cycle, pushing the deadline to 23 May 2025.

8BPCL’s latest BPREP package for hydrocarbon sphere tanks demands best-in-class fireproofing, deluge systems, and end-to-end EPC execution.
8The package isn't just tanks—it spans PLCs, RTUs, pressure switches, and comprehensive EIL-monitored QA systems.
8From valves to flameproof lighting, contractors are locked into EIL's pre-approved supplier list—no exceptions without written clearance.

8Disqualification of Ocean Science and Velciti shows IOCL’s tightening standards for sonar mapping credentials and technical equipment readiness.

8The 90-day project timeline includes mobilization, NDT testing, and final reporting — but it’s the advanced diagnostics and structural modeling that are prompting bidder caution before submission.

8Despite repeated requests, latest amendment shows IOCL refusing major redlines as bidder flexibility remains minimal on indemnities and LD clauses.
8New clauses emphasize strict conformance, with no scope for bidder-specific adjustments, reinforcing IOCL’s template-driven project approach.

The original 180-day mobilization window proving tight for high-horsepower rigs in tough terrain
8So the owner has extended both the deadline and the acceptable rig delivery timeline.
8This is a move welcomed by global bidders.

8BPCL extends submission timeline twice within a week—likely accommodating top-tier licensors fine-tuning their proposals.
8The digital integration annexures and detailed BDEP scope may be causing global vendors to rework submissions.

8The May 29 extension hints at industry pushback
8Vendors reportedly grappling with integration demands spanning thyristor control, blackout-safe design, and process reliability.
8EIL has refused to recognize parent or group experience abroad—only firms with Indian credentials and domestic project references will clear eligibility.
8Despite OEM requests, vendor list remains fixed—only pre-approved Indian vendors in electrical, instrumentation, and fabrication will be entertained.
8A separate item under this tender links heater supply to feed drier regen systems—implying cross-stream synchronization within PDH-PP layout.

With limited rig supply in the 1000 HP mobile segment, the pre-bid conference could shape bidder strategy.
8Participants are expected to seek clarity on rig condition, uptime metrics, and movement cycles.
