Barrels (bbl) to US barrels (bbl) Conversion
Barrels
The US oil barrel is a unit of volume equal to exactly 42 US gallons (approximately 158.987 litres), adopted as the standard unit for crude oil and petroleum products in the global energy industry. Crude oil prices are universally quoted in US dollars per barrel (bbl), and global production statistics are expressed in millions of barrels per day (Mb/d). The 42-gallon oil barrel standard was established in the Pennsylvania oil fields in the 1860s.
US barrels
The US liquid barrel is a unit of volume equal to exactly 31.5 US gallons (approximately 119.24 litres), distinct from the oil barrel (42 gallons) and used for beer, wine, and other liquid products in US commerce. The US beer barrel, used to measure draught beer, is 31 gallons in practice, though the legal definition varies by state. This unit is important in the brewing and beverage industry for bulk production and distribution calculations.
