Suncor converts certain natural gas volumes to boe, boe/d, mboe, mmboe or mboe/d on the basis of six mcf to one boe. 

Any figure presented in boe, mboe, mmboe or mboe/d may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion 
ratio of one bbl of crude oil or NGL to six mcf of natural gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method 

primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not necessarily represent value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the 
value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy 

equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.


Conversion Table(1)(2)

1 m3 liquids = 6.29 barrels
1 tonne = 0.984 tons (long) 
1 m3 natural gas = 35.49 cubic feet 1 tonne = 1.102 tons (short)

1 moverburden = 1.31 cubic yards
1 kilometre = 0.62 miles
1 hectare = 2.5 acres

(1) Conversion using the above factors on rounded numbers appearing in this AIF may produce small differences from reported amounts.
(2) Some information in this AIF is set forth in metric units and some in imperial units.
