Hi Claude,

from oilpatchupdates.com

Boe - barrel(s) of oil equivalent.

Natural gas is converted to barrels at a ratio of 6:1 or 6,000 cubic feet (6 mcf) to 1 barrel of oil - the approximate energy content of the two units.

Comment

The conversion allows for easier comparison among producers with a mix of products. Some producers with predominantly natural gas production, convert their oil and liquids production to mcfe (thousands of cubic feet equivalent) using the same 1 barrel = 6 mcfe ratio.
Until recently, most Canadian producers used a 10:1 conversion ratio, which was more in line with the relative pricing of the two commodities. Some still use this ratio or both in their reporting. In Oil-Stats and in the Profile Page financials we have converted all historical and current data to the 6:1 ratio to facilitate easier comparisons.
Boe/d - barrels of oil equivalent per day; a common measure to compare companies' production.
