  2. Tonne of oil equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonne_of_oil_equivalent

    The tonne of oil equivalent (toe) is a unit of energy defined as the amount of energy released by burning one tonne of crude oil. It is approximately 42 gigajoules or 11.630 megawatt-hours, although as different crude oils have different calorific values, the exact value is defined by convention; several slightly different definitions exist.

  3. Barrel of oil equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_of_oil_equivalent

    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).

  4. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

    TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion. The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules (1 gigacalorie), [ 1 ] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_tanker

    In 2005, 2.42 billion metric tons of oil were shipped by tanker. [2] 76.7% of this was crude oil, and the rest consisted of refined petroleum products. [2] This amounted to 34.1% of all seaborne trade for the year. [2] Combining the amount carried with the distance it was carried, oil tankers moved 11,705 billion metric-ton-miles of oil in 2005 ...
