BOE Conversion
Certain natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) using six thousand cubic feet (“mcf”) of gas equal to one barrel (“bbl”) of oil unless otherwise stated. This conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Such disclosure of boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
