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).
A 42-US-gallon (35 imp gal; 160 L) barrel of crude oil produces approximately 10 US gallons (8.3 imp gal; 38 L) of diesel, 4 US gallons (3.3 imp gal; 15 L) of jet fuel, 19 US gallons (16 imp gal; 72 L) of gasoline, 7 US gallons (5.8 imp gal; 26 L) of other products, 3 US gallons (2.5 imp gal; 11 L) split between heavy fuel oil and liquified ...
BO – barrel of oil; boe – barrels of oil equivalent; boed – barrels of oil equivalent per day; BOEM – Bureau of Ocean Energy Management; boepd – barrels of oil equivalent per day; BOB – back on bottom; BOD – biological oxygen demand; BOL – bill of lading; BOM – bill of materials; BOP – blowout preventer; BOP – bottom of pipe
On average, U.S. petroleum refineries produce about 19 to 20 gallons of gasoline, 11 to 13 gallons of distillate fuel diesel fuel and 3 to 4 gallons of jet fuel from each 42 gallon (152 liters) barrel of crude oil. The product ratio depends upon the processing in an oil refinery and the crude oil assay. [12]
Shale oil usually contains large quantities of olefinic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Shale oil can also contain significant quantities of heteroatoms. A typical shale oil composition includes 0.5–1% of oxygen, 1.5–2% of nitrogen and 0.15–1% of sulfur, and some deposits contain more heteroatoms. Mineral particles and metals are often present ...
The Gravberg-1 well only produced 84 barrels (13.4 m 3) of oil, which later was shown to derive from organic additives, lubricants and mud used in the drilling process. [32] [33] [34] Kudryavtsev's Rule has been explained for oil and gas (not coal)—gas deposits which are below oil deposits can be created from that oil or its source rocks ...
Crude oil was distilled by Persian chemists, with clear descriptions given in Arabic handbooks such as those of Muhammad ibn Zakarīya Rāzi. [2] He described the process of distilling crude oil/petroleum into kerosene, as well as other hydrocarbon compounds, in his Kitab al-Asrar (Book of Secrets).
Known oil reserves are typically estimated at 190 km 3 (1.2 trillion (short scale) barrels) without oil sands, [91] or 595 km 3 (3.74 trillion barrels) with oil sands. [92] Consumption is currently around 84 million barrels (13.4 × 10 ^ 6 m 3 ) per day, or 4.9 km 3 per year, yielding a remaining oil supply of only about 120 years, if current ...
