Change record

What changed

  • The parties moved beyond a November 2025 MOU into a U.S.-based commercial-demonstration and engineering program using Uzbek feedstock.
  • The program is intended to test commercial viability, efficiency, quality and scalability while evaluating a future Uzbekistan refining deployment.

Public interpretation

Why it matters

The development targets the midstream refining gap that matters more than an additional resource estimate. Demonstration output, customer specifications and recurring volume remain unproven.
