8Oil India has quietly granted a second extension on its Dandewala gas sweetening EPC tender, moving bid closing to 9 December 2025.
8The LSTK package for a 0.5 MMMSCMD CO2-removal unit still carries a Rs 5.36-crore EMD, stiff performance security and a dense compliance grid.
8Whether the longer runway unlocks stronger competition or just stretches bidder risk exposure will define how this flagship sequestration-linked job is ultimately priced and awarded.

8The project is moving ahead from here on

1) Fifteen civil contractors vie for six-slot Mehsana drilling-site rate contract panel
8Fifteencivilcontractorsviefor six-slot Mehsana drilling-site rate contract panel Fifteen bidders are now in play for ONGC Mehsana’s three-year civil-works rate contract, but the work-distribution table has room for only six.
8Behind that simple arithmetic sit strict experience thresholds, TPIA-verified documents and firm prices for the 2025–28 drilling programme.
8How that combination of crowding and control reshapes margins, risk and eventual awards is where this story goes next.
 
2) Option clause, dates and securities reset but HPWBM risk stays with contractor
8OIL’s latest corrigenda on the HPWBM GeM tender nudge dates and securities without touching the core risk architecture.
8Contractors win more time, more banking flexibility and formalised MSE preference, but must still shoulder odour control, QC and well-risk burdens.
8The real story is how a handful of “amendment shall be issued” promises will, or will not, shift mobilisation and experience thresholds before bids finally close.
 
3) CTU and pumping fleet tenders pushed to 10 December without blinking on OEM bars
8Oil India has quietly moved the bid gate for its coiled tubing, multipurpose pumping and hot oil unit tenders to 10 December 2025.
8Pre-bid dates and bid-security cut-offs have been nudged, but the dense mesh of OEM, E&P-experience and document-verification rules remains untouched.
8Whether this extra time unlocks a deeper global OEM field or simply prolongs a high-bar contest will decide how fleet renewal plays out.

1) ONGC hard chrome tender pulls rig-critical repair work into three-month, high-liability job-shop mandate in ONGC CWS Vadodara hard chrome plating project.
8ONGC CWS Vadodara has turned a routine chrome-plating job into a tightly scripted service contract covering geometry, hardness bands and IS-linked finish.
8A 150 kilometre facility radius, per-item insurance slabs and six-month performance warranties shift custody and risk squarely onto local job-shops.
8How bidders price that mix of technical precision and liability will decide whether this becomes a replicable template for other rig-repair scopes.
 
2) Four-year mechanised tank sludge-cleaning mandate in Oil India tank bottom sludge evacuation project.
8Oil India has bundled thirty storage tanks and nearly 13,000 cu m of sludge into a single, four-year mechanised cleaning and inspection contract.
8Arham Oil Gas Products And Services Private Limited has taken the L1 slot at about Rs 26.24 crore under a clause-dense GeM framework.
8How that price balances HSE-heavy obligations, hazardous-waste liabilities and multi-site deployment demands will decide whether this becomes benchmark or cautionary tale.
 
3) LP gas compression O&M contract in ONGC Rajahmundry LP gas compression O&M.
8ONGC has handed its three-year LP gas compression O&M job at Tatipaka and Mandapeta to Teja Engineering with a bid far below the rest of the field.
8A detailed SOW and updated customs/GST and MSE clauses load heavy operational and compliance obligations onto the contractor.
8How those obligations intersect with such aggressive pricing will decide whether this becomes a new benchmark or a one-off gamble.
 
4) Three-year offshore weather-forecast mandate
8ONGC has handed its offshore weather-intelligence reins to Skymet in a tightly specified, API-driven GeM contract.
8The three-year mandate covers everything from daily sea-state calls to cyclone track bulletins for both western and eastern offshore theatres.
8What that price buys in terms of model capability, uptime and real-world decision support will now be watched far beyond the met-services community.

8What does this mean for EOR projects ahead

8The owner has quietly rewriteen who can bid and on what terms for this onland  rig charter.
8Older rigs and lighter hook-load packages are now welcome, but only with deep API-grade inspection and OEM-backed evidence.

8EIL has expanded the desuperheater package by adding a new flare-system group with its own control valve and revised datasheets.The shift alters both technical risk distribution and competitive behaviour across the limited vendor pool.

8Participated bidders at ONGC’s Nhava material handling tender have forced the promoter to spell out its new Fair Wage Policy reality in black and white.
8Gratuity is now confirmed as a contractor-only liability for fresh contracts, even as wage revisions remain reimbursable and penalties for daily tonnage shortfalls stay sharp.
8The result is a qualified field of eight players that must turn labour-law clarity into commercially viable rates under an unforgiving operational regime.

8The commercial architecture, EMD levels and qualification thresholds have been left untouched.
