A Cubic Mile of Oil is a 2010 book by Hewitt Crane, Edwin Kinderman, and Ripudaman Malhotra. The title refers to a unit of energy intended to provide a visualizable scale for comparing large amounts of energy. Defined as the energy released by burning a cubic mile of oil, a "CMO" is approximately equal to 1.6 × 10 20 joule.
Metric regions commonly use the tonne of oil equivalent (toe), or more often million toe (Mtoe). Since this is a measurement of mass, any conversion to barrels of oil equivalent depends on the density of the oil in question, as well as the energy content. Typically 1 tonne of oil has a volume of 1.08 to 1.19 cubic metres (6.8 to 7.5 bbl).
MMcf – million cubic feet (of natural gas) MMcfe – million cubic feet (of natural gas equivalent) MMcfge – million cubic feet (of natural gas equivalent) MMS – Minerals Management Service (United States) MMscfd – million standard cubic feet per day; MMTPA – millions of metric tonnes per annum; MMstb – million stock barrels
Ships in that size range can carry between 2.5 million and 3.5 million gallons of fuel. The amount of fuel actually be used on a sailing depends primarily on the ship's speed.
In the oil industry, mud weight is the density of the drilling fluid and is normally measured in pounds per gallon (lb/gal) (ppg) or pound cubic feet (pcf) . [1] In the field it is measured using a mud scale or mud balance. Mud can weigh up to 22 or 23 ppg. A gallon of water typically weighs 8.33 pounds (or 7.48 ppg).
Using Boyle's law, the equivalent GGE at 3,600 psi (25 MPa) is 0.51 cubic feet (14 litres; 3.8 US gallons). The National Conference of Weights & Measurements (NCWM) has developed a standard unit of measurement for compressed natural gas, defined in the NIST Handbook 44 Appendix D as follows: "1 Gasoline [US] gallon equivalent (GGE) means 2.567 ...
Today a gallon of gasoline in California today costs $4.61 on average, just over 10 cents lower than the last month and more than 50 cents lower than last year, according to the latest prices from ...
According to the American Petroleum Institute (API), a standard barrel of oil is the amount of oil that would occupy a volume of exactly 1 barrel (158.99 L) at reference temperature and pressure conditions of 60 °F (15.6 °C) and 14.696 psi (1,013.25 hPa) (or 1 atm). This standard barrel of oil will occupy a different volume at different ...
