Expression of Interest (EoI)
EoI Ref. No.:
ONGC/AA/EOI/SAND-CONTROL/2025-26/01
Hiring of
Services for implementation of Microbial (Biochemical) Sand Consolidation
Technology in three (3) candidate Wells of Assam Asset.
Introduction
Assam Asset,
ONGC, Nazira, invites Expression of Interest (EOI) from reputed, experienced,
and technically competent service providers for the implementation of Microbial
Sand Consolidation Technology in three (3) candidate wells across fields of
Assam Asset.
Objective
Sand production
in hydrocarbon wells can cause severe operational challenges, including
equipment erosion, wellbore instability, and production losses. ONGC is
exploring biotechnological approaches such as Microbial Sand Consolidation that
offer eco-friendly and potentially cost-effective alternatives to conventional
sand control methods.
The objective of
this EOI is to identify and shortlist potential service providers capable of providing
innovative, field-proven microbial sand consolidation solutions that improve
well integrity and mitigate sand production without compromising formation
permeability.
Following the
EOI outcome, Microbial Sand consolidation technology shall be implemented in
three (3) candidate wells across fields of Assam Asset.
This project
will serve as both a technical and economic evaluation to assess the viability
of scaling the technology to additional wells in the asset.
