Issues with Suppliers/Service Providers
Timely mobilization of seismic vessels
Delay in supplying proprietary stores and spare items
Acceptance of ONGC’s standard terms & conditions for service
contracts specifically in the clauses like arbitration, jurisdiction law,
patent indemnity, interpretation liability and other related techno-
commercial and legal
Monopolistic attitude in PAC & nomination cases
Limited no. of reputed suppliers of logging equipment and service
providers are available at the international level. This limits the
competition.
All the reputed logging vendors are not having all the services/
technology. Vendors do not sell full or some of the technologies.
