Cenovus's Diversified & Resilient Business Model
Advisory
Oil and Gas Information
Natural gas volumes are converted to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) on the basis of six Mcf to one barrel (bbl). BOE
may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of one bbl to six Mcf is based on an energy
equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalency at
the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil compared with natural gas is
significantly different from the energy equivalency conversion ratio of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis is not
an accurate reflection of value.
