## Engineering interpretation

The award covers FEED only for the tank-farm package; it does not mean Matrix received construction or full-refinery EPC scope. Engineering definition precedes a final investment decision and any later construction award.

## Delivery responsibilities

A design study converts an owner’s objectives into an engineering basis that can be priced, reviewed and taken into subsequent execution. Process balances, utilities, constructability and tender packages must be consistent before contracts advance. The design team should identify unresolved interfaces and decisions that remain with the owner. Selecting a study provider is evidence of technical development, not confirmation of a final investment decision, a construction start or operating capacity. Dates quoted as future plans retain that status until a separate milestone is reported.
