In this website:
Oil volumes are quoted in bbls (bn bbls, mm bbls or 000s of bbls per day)
Gas volumes are quoted in cubic metres (tcm, bcm or bcm per year)
For comparison, gas volumes may be converted into bbls of oil equivalent*
The standard length and area unit is metric
1 metric tonne LPG (Propane) = 12.7 bbls
1 metric tonne LPG (Butane) = 11.1 bbls
1 metric tonne LPG (average) = 11.6 bbls
1 metric tonne Light Oil (36 API) = 7.45 bbls
1 metric tonne Fuel Oil = 6.7 bbls
1 metric tonne = 1.1023 short tons
1 kilolitre = 1 cubic metre
1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 3.968 Btu
1 kilojoule (kJ) = 0.948 Btu
