Barrels (bbl) to Cubic yards (yd³) 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.
Cubic yards
The cubic yard is a unit of volume equal to exactly 764.555 litres (27 cubic feet), used primarily in the United States for large quantities of bulk materials such as concrete, gravel, sand, topsoil, and asphalt. Construction projects in the US routinely specify material quantities in cubic yards. One cubic yard of concrete weighs approximately 2,000–2,400 kg depending on the mix.
