Abbreviations:
bbls                        =              barrels
boepd                    =              barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) per day
bopd                      =              barrels of oil and/or natural gas liquids (condensate) per day
MMcf                     =              million cubic feet
MMcfpd                 =              million cubic feet per day

BOE Disclosure. The term barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.
