The EFP (Engine Fail Procedure) for Runway 31 out of COS is very confusing and or incomplete. It states 'Reaching BRK R-218 (All Eng-delay turn until 7200 ft. Eng Fail After 7200 ft. Right Turn H125) or D5.6 ILPI LEFT turn H125. Min Cleanup 7187 ft.' We were cleared the SPRINGS 6 Departure; which calls for a RIGHT turn to H050. It does not say to wait until 7;200 ft. until turning to heading 050. If we lost an engine below 7;200 ft. in the turn to heading 050 what is the appropriate EFP path to follow? My F/O and I discussed at length but came to no clear answer. It needs to be more clearly written with appropriate 'EFP decision points' if needed.
