E&P project tenders

India’s exploration and production (E&P) landscape is witnessing strong momentum as the country pushes for greater energy self-reliance. With upstream investments gaining pace, new E&P project tenders are being floated across onshore and offshore basins — creating vast opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and technology partners.

From ONGC and Oil India’s exploration drives to private-sector participation under the Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP), India’s upstream segment is buzzing with activity. Recent E&P project tenders include seismic surveys, drilling campaigns, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) initiatives, and integrated service contracts that highlight the sector’s evolving complexity and scale.

With the government’s focus on boosting domestic production, streamlining clearances, and enhancing ease of doing business, India’s upstream tender pipeline is set for robust growth in 2025 and beyond. For companies operating in the E&P value chain, timely access to tender intelligence is crucial to staying competitive and securing new business.

Spring inspections and Tax season complete!

It has been a very busy few weeks with the spring inspections being completed and of course Tax season! This week all the reports, photos and completed work orders have been sent out. Many properties are showing the effects of deferred maintenance from the past 2 years. On top of that, the extended dry weather and high winds have taken a toll on the landscaping across the front range.

An unexpected effect of the last few years reared its ugly head this tax season. Hopefully all of you have maintained your relationships with quality CPAs as part of your portfolio management strategy. In many cases the reduction in preventive maintenance has resulted in much higher net incomes for many investment properties. Developing an effective maintenance program going forward will not only protect your investments but ensure that come next tax season you have reasonable expenses to offset the income. Always use professional legal and accounting firms when you are managing your portfolio!

Top issues the spring inspection revealed include fence and gate damage. This is a critical issue as many HOA governing documents require that the property fences and gates are in working order. Effective fencing and gates are also a critical safety issue. We have seen the first wave of HOA violation notices for this issue being sent out. The fence can be either individually owned, shared or even the responsibility of the HOA so be sure you are the responsible party before beginning any repairs.

The second major issue is dead grass and landscaping. Between the drought and the lack of consistent watering over the past two years, the damaged areas are widespread. This may be the year where it is cost effective for properties to convert over to xeriscaping.  There are numerous rebate programs both at the state and local level that offer rebates for converting areas over. We can help evaluate the cost benefit analysis to see if this is an approach that benefits the owner. The long-term forecasting shows that the front range will continue to be hotter and drier in the years to come. Saving all the watering and maintenance cost can really add up and increase your returns on the investment property.

Now is the time to start refreshing or requesting your landscaping bids for the new or delayed projects. The next online training conference will focus on the bid process so please let us know if you want to attend. The three key areas will be exterior painting, landscaping, and drainage projects. It does appear that the early bids are coming in at 10% to 20% over prior years. Many contractors are offering fast track discounts to offset these increases and to keep their newly hired crews busy. It has never been more important to have complete and detailed specifications prior to sending out the bid request. As mentioned earlier, these maintenance cost can also reduce the tax burdens of an asset come next year!
