In February 2016, Tellurian engaged Bechtel to perform a FEED study for the Driftwood terminal, and in June 2016, Tellurian engaged Bechtel to perform a FEED study for the Driftwood pipeline. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities for FEED costs relate primarily to our contracts for FEED services with Bechtel as well as subcontractors working on the project. The FEED studies for the Driftwood pipeline and the Driftwood terminal were completed in March 2017 and June 2017, respectively.
