when the term "equivalent" is used, such as BOE or MMCFE, this is a way to convert oil to an equivalent volume of gas or convert gas to an equivalent volume of oil. So, when they save BOE, it is equal to the mcf of gas divided by six plus the barrels of oil. Or if they quote mcfe, then it is the barrels of oil timex 6 plus the mcf of gas. Some companies relate everything to barrels (most major O&G co's) and some relate everything to MMCFE (large independents and small co's that are mainly in gas plays, like CHK, HK, etc.) Just a way of trying to compare wells. So if a well makes 10 BOPD and 6 MCFGpday, then it is making 11 BOEpd. then if you want to compare that to a gas well, you can convert the gas well production to BOE's and compare.
