The term BOE or BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE
(barrel of oil equivalent) conversion rate of 6 Mcf per one (1) BOE is based on
an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip
and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
