In this news release the calculation of barrels of oil equivalent (boe) is
calculated at a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas
for one barrel (Bbl) of oil based on an energy equivalency conversion method.
Boes may be misleading particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio
of 6 Mcf: 1Bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily
applicable to the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the
wellhead.
