Oil contains chemical energy. If it is burned, that's converted to heat energy.
Approximately 1,800 pounds of coal yield the same amount of energy as one barrel of oil. This is because coal has a lower energy density compared to oil, requiring a larger quantity of coal to produce the same amount of energy.
42 gallons make a barrel in the oil industry.
On average, a barrel of crude oil contains approximately 5.8 million BTU (British Thermal Units) of energy. This energy content can vary depending on the type and quality of the crude oil.
It is thousand british thermal unit/barrel/energy factor
The equivalent of about 6,330,000,000 joules or 6 million BTUs
Actually, all 42 gallons of crude oil in a barrel is used to produce that amount of gasoline.Each 42-gallon barrel of oil produces about 19.6 gallons of gasoline.
Approximately 5,800,000 BTUs per 42-gallon barrel.
100% The entire 42-gallon barrel of crude oil produces that amount of gasoline.
Typically, about 9.21 gallons of diesel fuel are refined out of an industry-standard 42-gallon barrel of crude oil. (This equates to about 22% of the barrel for diesel).
1 barrel of oil = 158.987295 liters 1 barrel of oil = 42 US gallons
You could add a hole to the 50 pound barrel full of oil and drain out some of the oil to make it less than 50 pounds.
There are 336 pints of crude oil in one barrel.
