For the purposes of this press release, boes have been calculated on the basis of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. The term boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
