Project 26-CNCCC-HW-GK-3973/01 was issued on 5 November for water-injected single-screw natural-gas compressor hosts and modules, single-screw compressor sets and annual overhaul kits. The tender states that the equipment technology company undertakes domestic compressor integration and manufacturing for CNOOC, procuring to cover oilfield boosting, long-distance pipelines and LNG peak-shaving. The contract runs three years from signature with a “1+1+1” extension pattern (up to two additional years); delivery is 180 days from order effectiveness or as agreed, with the project located in Tianjin.
Three clauses worth reading closely
- Three-year framework: locking supply over a long horizon signals that continuity of supply and spares matters more than one-off purchase price.
- Overhaul kits inside the main contract: putting wear parts in the same agreement brings life-cycle cost into the evaluation, making parts commonality and lead time a real threshold.
- 180-day delivery: for integration work this requires a standardised platform and stock strategy; a purely bespoke route struggles to meet it.
What it means for air-system projects
Oil, gas and offshore compressed-air systems face the same long-horizon, multi-duty, high-availability demands. We submit the spares list, service intervals and interface drawings together with the quotation rather than a parameter sheet alone — the same logic as writing overhaul kits into the main contract.
At a glance
| Clause | As published | What it means for suppliers |
|---|---|---|
| Term | 3 years, “1+1+1” extension (max 2 more) | Continuity of supply and spares outweighs one-off price |
| Scope | Hosts and modules, sets, annual overhaul kits | Parts commonality and lead time become a threshold |
| Delivery | 180 days from order effectiveness or as agreed | Requires a standardised platform and stock strategy |
| Duties | Oilfield boosting, trunk pipelines, LNG peak-shaving | Multi-duty adaptability matters more than one figure |
Frequently asked
What is a framework (proprietary) agreement?
A longer-term agreement for a specific category, with orders placed as needed during the term. Here it runs three years with a “1+1+1” extension pattern, up to two additional years.
Why put overhaul kits in the main contract?
Including wear parts in the same agreement brings life-cycle cost into the evaluation, so parts commonality and supply lead time directly affect the score.
What makes 180 days demanding?
For integration work it requires a standardised platform and spares stock; a fully bespoke design-and-procurement chain usually cannot meet it.
How does this apply to compressed-air packages?
Oil, gas and offshore air systems face the same long-horizon, multi-duty, high-availability demands, so submitting spares and service plans with the quotation helps pass technical review.
