Where amounts are expressed in a Boe or daily equivalent of Boe, natural gas volumes have been converted to Boe's on the basis that six thousand cubic feet of natural gas is equal to one barrel of oil. This conversion ratio is based on energy equivalence primarily at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. The term Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
