The oil prices were seen rising to hit $71.38 per barrel in March 2021, marking the highest since the beginning of the pandemic in January 2020. [116] The oil price rise followed a missile drone attack on Saudi Arabia's Aramco oil facility by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. [117] The United States said it was committed to defending Saudi Arabia. [118]
Price per million BTU of oil and natural gas in the US, 1998-2015 Natural gas prices , as with other commodity prices, are mainly driven by supply and demand fundamentals. However, natural gas prices may also be linked to the price of crude oil and petroleum products, especially in continental Europe.
Oil prices will fall to an average of $65 per barrel in 2025 amid an oversupply of crude and a backdrop of slowing demand as countries shift toward cleaner energies and forms of transportation, ...
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).
One seasoned (dry) cord of Northern red oak with a heating value of 22.1 million British thermal units per cord (23.3 GJ/cord) has the heating equivalent of 159 U.S. gallons (132 imperial gallons; 602 liters) of fuel oil with a heating value of 138,700 British thermal units per U.S. gallon (38.7 megajoules per liter).

[6] [9] [10] West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures went as low as −$37.63 per barrel [11] (though consumer prices did not go negative). In effect, with demand low and storage at a premium, oil producers were paying to get rid of their oil. [6] [9] [11] MarketWatch described the situation as "the opposite of so-called short squeeze."
In 1970, local peak production was 10,044 million bbl (1,597 million m 3) per day in November 1970. [8] Total production of crude oil from 1970 through 2006 was 102 billion barrels (16.2 × 10 ^ 9 m 3), or roughly five and a half times the proved reserves over the same timeframe when taking into account the decreasing proved reserves.
A common hardwood, red oak, has an energy content of 14.9 mega joules per kilogram (6,388 BTU per pound), and 10.4 mega joules recoverable if burned at 70% efficiency. [ 5 ] The Sustainable Energy Development Office (SEDO), part of the Government of Western Australia states that the energy content of wood is 16.2 megajoules per kilogram (4.5 ...
