The average is about 20,000 BTU's per pound at standard temperature and pressure.
Natural gas typically produces around 20,000 to 25,000 BTUs per pound when burned.
One pound of natural gas contains approximately 21,500-23,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units). The exact value can vary based on the composition of the natural gas.
1 standard cubic foot of natural gas gives about 1030 BTU
Specifically 1013.2 btu per standard cubic foot, for pure methane.
A fourty two (42) gallon barrel of oil generates approximately 5,600,000 btus. A cubit foor of nat gas generates 1,200 btus ,there for you would need 4,666.67 cubic feet of gas or 4.6 mcf. Today, an mcf of nat gas costs $2.6 an mcf, a barrel of oil $106. The btu per dollar breakdown looks like this. 5,600,000 btus = 1 barrel of crude oil = $106 5.6m btu / $106 = 52,830 btus per dollar 5,600,000 btus = 4.66 mcf = $12.12 5.6m btus / $12.12 = 462,046 btus per dollar

More BTUs per pound. Taxes.
1 therm of gas is equal to 100,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units).
One thousand cubic feet (MCF) of natural gas contains approximately 1,000 to 1,200 British thermal units (BTUs), depending on the specific composition of the gas. On average, it's commonly estimated at around 1,025 BTUs per MCF. This value can vary based on factors such as the gas's energy content and specific gravity.
One pound of natural gas is equivalent to approximately 1.546 cubic feet or 92.6 cubic inches.
Specifically 1013.2 btu per standard cubic foot, for pure methane.
One cubic meter of compressed natural gas (CNG) typically contains between 9000 to 11000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of energy.
Without getting into the chemistry and physics of the two different types of gases, natural gas has a higher btu output than liquid propane gas. In other words, higher available energy output/more energy efficient. MMM wrong!!! Propane provides more energy per unit volume than does natural gas. Heat is measured in BTUs, or British Thermal Units. Propane provides about 2500 BTUs for the same volume of natural gas that only gives 1000 BTUs. However, natural gas can be less expensive at up to one-sixth the cost of propane
There are about 1030 BTUs in a cubic foot of natural gas. If one wishes to know the gas consumption (in feet3 per hour) for a given BTU per hour usage rate, one would divide the amount of BTUs by 1030. That would yield the number of cubic feet of gas that is used per hour. Q: I'm heating a space using 10,300 BTUs per hour and I'm using my natural gas heater to do it. How many cubic feet of gas am I using per hour? A: 10,300 BTUs (the heat generated per hour) divided by 1030 (the number of BTUs per cubic foot of gas) equals 10 cubic feet. You're using 10 cubic feet per hour. You apply 10,300 BTUs to heat the space per hour, and you use 10 cubic feet of gas per hour to do that. (And yes, I picked easy numbers.)
