All barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") conversions in this release are derived by
converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of
gas to one barrel ("bbl") of oil. A boe conversion ratio of six mcf 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.
Mbbl = thousands of barrels
MMcf = millions of cubic feet
Mboe = thousands of barrels of oil equivalent
