Which unit of capacity would be most reasonable to mea sure a barrel of oil?

Since oil is shipped internationally, the SI standard should be used, however, in practice when oil barrels are shipped, they are most often shipped in barrels that are sized according to imperial units of capacity (ie. 42 gallons). Also common is shipping oil by tanker.
