Gas companies measure production from wells in cubic feet. It sells on the market by BTU’s. How to convert?

From the well head – oil and gas companies report yield or production in cubic feet. But they sell it in BTU’s. How is it converted from one (cubic feet) to the other (BTU’s) and/or vice versa?

NATURAL GAS IS SOLD BY CUBIC FEET AT YOUR METER. NATURAL GAS IS A TERM WHICH ENCOMPASSES A VARIETY OF GASSES. THE INDIVIDUAL GAS THAT IS SUPPLIED TO YOU SHOULD SUPPLY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF BTU’S PER CUBIC FOOT. SOME APPLIANCES WILL DISPLAY THEIR EFFICIENCY ACCORDING TO THE BTU/CF FORMULA.
