class 3 cost estimate and the cash flow projections

[sbmt]

Подскажите, пожалуйста, что может означать следующая фраза:
class 3 cost estimate and the cash flow projections. Что за "Класс 3"?

Встречается в следующем предложении:

The Mixed Company shall pay the royalty and applicable taxes. If once the basic
engineering for the crude oil production project has been concluded, the class 3 cost
estimate and the cash flow projections indicate that the Mixed Company will not be able
to recover its investments within a period of 7 years or less as from the commencement
of the production of upgraded crude oil, the National Executive Branch shall grant to
such Mixed Company the reductions in royalties and oil extraction tax provided for in
articles 44 and 48 of the Hydrocarbons Organic Law.

Заранее спасибо

Очевидно, что третий класс, это не то же самое, что второй, или первый.

Матчасть учите. Если вы кому-то говорите, что знаете, как нефтянку переводить, то научитесь хотя бы у Гугля спрашивать. Хотя он и старый, и спит в подвале, но если по клаве шумно молотить, то он может проснуться и чего дельное вымолвить.

Cost Element
A unit of costs, typically in the form of direct labor, direct materials, other direct costs, and indirect or burdened costs. [D04625]
QWF
A unit of costs to perform a task or to acquire an item. The cost estimated may be a single value or a range of values. [D00394]
WST
Cost Engineering
An area of engineering principles where engineering judgment and experience are used in the application of scientific principles and techniques to problems of cost estimation, cost control, business planning and management science. [D04954]
43
Technique for planning and controlling costs. [D00395]
NPMT
Cost Envelope
The area bounded by a cost curve based on early start dates of activities and a cost curve based on late start dates of activities. [D03822]

Cost Estimate
The expected costs to perform a task or to acquire an item. Cost estimates may be a single value or a range of values. [D04626]

Cost Estimate Classification System
A five-level cost estimate system based on the amount of project information available developed by the American Association of Cost Engineers, Class 5 is the least definitive.
Class 5 - Level of project definition < 2%; Purpose - screening or feasibility; Methodology - stochastic or judgment; Value Range (i.e. accuracy relative to best of Class 1) - 4 to 20; Preparation Effort (relative to best of Class 1) 1%
Class 4 - Level of project definition 1% - 15%; Purpose - concept study or feasibility; Methodology - primarily stochastic; Value Range (i.e. accuracy relative to best of Class 1) - 3 to 12; Preparation Effort (relative to best of Class 1) 2% - 4%
Class 3 - Level of project definition 10% - 40%; Purpose - budget authorization or control; Methodology - mixed but primarily stochastic; Value Range (i.e. accuracy relative to best of Class 1) - 2 to 6; Preparation Effort (relative to best of Class 1) 3% - 10%
Class 2 - Level of project definition 30% - 70%; Purpose - control or bid/tender; Methodology - primarily deterministic; Value Range (i.e. accuracy relative to best of Class 1) - 1 to 3; Preparation Effort (relative to best of Class 1) 5% - 20%
Class 1 - Level of project definition 50% - 100%; Purpose - check estimate or bid/tender; Methodology - deterministic; Value Range (i.e. accuracy relative to best of this Class 1) - 1; Preparation Effort (relative to best of Class 1) 10% - 100%
