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

1) PFCCU block amendment blurs mechanical design responsibility while adding new PFCCU naphtha reporting
8The tender just rewired the most sensitive line in technology packages: who owns the “residual” mechanical design of reactor/regenerator internals. A seemingly small deletion and a new naphtha test requirement together reshape how licensors will price risk and defend guarantees. The next bidder responses will reveal whether this is a clean simplification—or a deliberate shift in accountability.
 
2) BQC authenticity undertaking for 600 KTPA VCM licensor selection
8BPCL’s Ramayapatnam VCM licensor tender is not changing scope or price levers in its latest amendment, but it is raising the legal temperature on bidder qualification evidence. The revised undertaking makes authenticity a signed liability and gives the owner a cleaner trigger point if reference documents don’t survive verification. For licensors with complex global references, the real contest may shift from technology pitch to documentation survivability.
