Barrels of Oil EquivalentBarrels of oil equivalent (boe) is calculated using the conversion factor of 5.7 Mcf (thousandcubic feet) of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of oil. Boes may be misleading,particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 5.7 Mcf:1 bbl (barrel) is based on anenergy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does notrepresent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
