Metric regions commonly use the tonne of oil equivalent (toe), or more often million toe (Mtoe). Since this is a measurement of mass, any conversion to barrels of oil equivalent depends on the density of the oil in question, as well as the energy content. Typically 1 tonne of oil has a volume of 1.08 to 1.19 cubic metres (6.8 to 7.5 bbl).
MMbod – million barrels of oil per day; MMboe – million barrels of oil equivalent; MMboed – million barrels of oil equivalent per day; MMbpd – million barrels per day; MMcf – million cubic feet (of natural gas) MMcfe – million cubic feet (of natural gas equivalent) MMcfge – million cubic feet (of natural gas equivalent)
According to the American Petroleum Institute (API), a standard barrel of oil is the amount of oil that would occupy a volume of exactly 1 barrel (158.99 L) at reference temperature and pressure conditions of 60 °F (15.6 °C) and 14.696 psi (1,013.25 hPa) (or 1 atm). This standard barrel of oil will occupy a different volume at different ...
(The data below does not seem to include shale oil and other unconventional sources of oil such as tar sands. For instance, North America has over 3 trillion barrels of shale oil reserves, [ citation needed ] and the majority of oil produced in the US is from shale, leading to the paradoxical data below that the US will finish all its oil at ...
As opposed to several other units of measure such as the pipe, cark and frail, the definition of the tierce remained stable with similar entries found in dictionaries from 1658 through 1780. [4] By 1847, the introduction of steam technology allowed a 25-person manufacturing plant to make 15,000 tierce casks per year.
In a “large disruption” scenario the global oil supply would fall by 6 million to 8 million barrels per day. That would drive prices up by 56% to 75% initially to between $140 and $157 a ...
Oil prices will fall to an average of $65 per barrel in 2025 amid an oversupply of crude and a backdrop of slowing demand as countries shift toward cleaner energies and forms of transportation ...
Oil has not been shipped in barrels [29] since the introduction of oil tankers, but the 42 US gallon size is still used as a unit of measurement for pricing and tax and regulatory codes. Each barrel is refined into about 20 US gallons (17 imp gal; 76 L) of gasoline , [ 30 ] the rest becoming other products such as jet fuel and heating oil ...
