935.88 gallonsNotes:Oil is usually shipped in barrels that have a 42 gallon capacity.Therefore, 21.27 * 44 = 935.88 gallons
To convert barrels to quarts, first note that one barrel is equal to 31.5 gallons. Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, you can multiply the number of barrels by 31.5 and then by 4. For 120 barrels, the calculation is: 120 barrels × 31.5 gallons/barrel × 4 quarts/gallon = 15,120 quarts.
In the early 1860's, when oil production began, there was no standard container for oil, so oil and petroleum products were stored and transported in barrels of all different shapes and sizes (beer barrels, fish barrels, molasses barrels, turpentine barrels, etc.). By the early 1870's, the 42-gallon barrel had been adopted as the standard for oil trade. This was 2 gallons per barrel more than the 40-gallon standard used by many other industries at the time. The extra 2 gallons was to allow for evaporation and leaking during tranport (most barrels were made of wood). Standard Oil began manufacturing 42 gallon barrels that were blue to be used for transporting petroleum. The use of a blue barrel, abbreviated "bbl," guaranteed a buyer that this was a 42-gallon barrel.found this on seekingalpha.com
It takes about 474,512.8 barrels of oil to produce 9,253,000 gallons of gasoline.19.5 gallons of gasoline for each 42-gallon barrel of oil

Barrels come in various sizes, with common types including the standard 55-gallon drum, the 30-gallon barrel, and the smaller 5-gallon and 1-gallon containers. In the wine and spirits industry, barrels can vary significantly, with sizes like the Bordeaux barrel (225 liters or about 59 gallons) and the Bourbon barrel (53 gallons). Additionally, there are specialized barrels for specific uses, such as the smaller port barrel (typically 600 liters) or the sherry cask (about 500 liters). Each size serves different purposes depending on the industry and application.
The number of barrels in a container depends on the size of the barrels and the container itself. For example, a standard 20-foot shipping container can typically hold around 80 to 120 barrels, depending on the barrel size (e.g., 55-gallon drums). To determine the exact number, you would need to specify the barrel size and the container's dimensions.
A standard 20-foot shipping container can typically hold around 80 to 100 barrels, depending on the type and size of the barrels. For example, if using standard 55-gallon (208-liter) barrels, a 20-foot container can fit approximately 80 barrels when packed efficiently. However, the exact number may vary based on how the barrels are arranged and any additional packaging or space requirements.
