Reference is made to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE). Barrels of oil equivalent
may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. In accordance with
National Instrument 51-101, a BOE conversion ratio for natural gas of 6 Mcf: 1
bbl has been used, which is based on an energy equivalency conversion method
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.
