READER ADVISORIES

Barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") may be misleading, particularly if used in
isolation. A BOE conversion ratio has been calculated using a conversion rate of
six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel and is based on an energy
equivalent conversion method applicable at the burner tip and does not represent
an economic value equivalency at the wellhead.
