How much fuel can you derive from a barrell of crude oil?
From each 42-gallon barrel of crude oil, about 19.6 gallons of gasoline and 9.2 gallons of diesel fuel are refined.
How much diesel fuel comes from one barrel of oil?
From each 42-gallon of crude oil, about 19.5 gallons of gasoline is produced.
How much does a barrel of oil power?
A single 42-gallon barrel of crude oil is refined into about 19.6 gallons of gasoline.
How much diesel can be produced from a barrel of crude oil?
Eight to nine gallons.
How much is a barrel of gas oil?
Crude oil is crude oil, there is no such thing as gas oil. Gasoline is refined from crude oil. 1 barrel of Benchmark crude oil for May delivery is currently $48.20 as of 3/31/09.
How much crude oil is refined into gasoline?
A barrel of crude contains 42 gallons. Each barrel yields about 19.15 gallons of gasoline plus other petroleum-based products. http://www.eia.doe.gov/bookshelf/brochures/gasoline/index.html
How much gasoline is made from a barrel of crude oil?
It varies alot. The minimum value is zero- as some crude oil are refined into other products. So, let's assume this is a crude that is economical to refine into gasoline. In this case , it can be as low as 2 gallons or as high as 23 gallons. (1 bbl = 42 gallons) Expressed as a percentage of the crude oil, this is 5 to 55%. (See attached links). The crude oil not refined as gasoline will be refined for other products. Common refined products from crude oil are provided in the related link, and will differ depending on the properties of the crude oil. It's very interesting that after refining, there will be more gallons of produced products than the original barrel of crude oil.
How much gasoline is produced from one barrel of oil?
One barrel (42 gallons) of crude oil, when refined, yields approximately 19.6 gallons of finished motor gasoline. The remainder of the barrel yields distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, and other products.
What is diesel fuel?
Diesel fuel is the kind of fuel used by diesel engines. Its a combustible fuel refined from crude oil - just as is gasoline - but diesel has a much higher flash point than gasoline. Its grade is measured in cetane rather than octane
How much United States oil is exported?
There is no official answer to how much crude oil is being exported that is easy to find online. There is, however, a Forbes article dated July 3rd, 2008, that provides the following about refined products such as gas and diesel: "A record 1.6 million barrels a day in U.S. refined petroleum products were exported during the first four months of this year, up 33 percent from 1.2 million barrels a day over the same period in 2007. Shipments this February topped 1.8 million barrels a day for the first time during any month, according to final numbers from the Energy Department." Based on the Energy Information Agencies' (EIA) numbers, the US uses approximately 20 million barrels of crude a day. The EIA also reports that 1 barrel of crude (42 gallons) makes approximately 20 gallons of gasoline and 7 gallons of diesel. Assuming that most of the exported products are gasoline and diesel, and knowing from calculating that roughly 64% of a barrel of crude oil (which is the percentage of gasoline and diesel that comes out of a barrel of crude oil) can be refined into gasoline and diesel, then the 1.6 million barrels a day being exported represents roughly 2.2 million barrels of crude a day or about 10% of the crude oil used daily by the US. It may be accurate to say that no crude oil is being exported from the US, but up to 10% of our crude oil is being exported in the form of refined products. This makes the argument that the US has a shortage of refining capacity to handle the US market questionable at best. The assumption made here is that most of the refined products being exported are gasoline and diesel instead of other oil related products. If this assumption is way off, please post what the correct stats are and a reliable source for any correction.
