Barrels (bbl) to UK 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.
UK barrels
The UK imperial barrel is a unit of volume equal to exactly 36 imperial gallons (approximately 163.659 litres), used historically in British trade and brewing. It is larger than the US oil barrel (158.99 L) and the US liquid barrel (119.24 L). While largely replaced by metric units in the UK, the imperial barrel remains a reference unit in traditional brewing contexts and historical trade documentation.
