Crude petroleum, and the refined products made from crude oil, are
normally measured either by volume in gallons and US barrels, or by weight
in tons or tonnes. The relationship between volume and weight is usually
measured by density in the United Kingdom (the alternative measure is
relative density or specific gravity). American oilmen usually reckon
quantities of oil produced, moved or processed in barrels per day (bpd
or b/d). The loose but simple rule of thumb for conversion is that a barrel
a day is roughly 50 tonnes a year, but the relationship varies according
to density and so according to product.

Oil Industry - Handy Conversion Information
* Natural gas is converted to barrels of oil equivalent using a ratio of
5,487 cubic feet of natural gas per one barrel of crude oil. This ratio is
based on the actual average equivalent energy content of TOTAL's natural gas
reserves.
1 barrel of crude oil per day = appr. 50 tons of crude oil per year
1 ton of crude oil = 1 metric ton of crude oil
= appr. 7.3 barrels of crude oil (assuming
a specific gravity of 33 API)
= 6.6-8.0 bbl. of crude oil with 7.333 bbl.
taken as average
= 1.16 kl. of crude oil (average)
1 ton of oil equivalent = appr. 1,125 cubic meters of natural gas

1 kg. = 2.20462 lb.
= 0.01 quintal
1 cwt = 112 lb.
= 50.802 kg.
1 metric ton = 0.98421 long ton or English ton
= 1.10231 short ton
= 2,204.6 lb
1 English ton = 1.01605 metric tons
or long ton = 1.12 short tons
1 short ton = 0.907186 metric ton
= 0.892857 long ton
= 2,000 lb.
* These conversions are based on the assumption that all weights
are weights in air, which is the correct basis for computing
bulk commercial quantities of petroleum.

Rich Gas = natural gas having a gross calorific value of 41,868 kJ/m3.
This term is used particularly for the natural gas from the North Sea and
from Algeria.
