This consist of 42 gallons per barrel. Oil uses the old American standard barrel, which is based off of the 18th century English wine barrel. When Britain brought in the Imperial Barrel, 55 gal., in the early 19th century, America declined to switch. Since the majority of the oil development in the world was by US companies, the oil volume standard is the American one. Curiously, you almost never see 42 gallon barrels. The size most of us are familiar with is the 55 gallon Imperial size. There's a good article on this in Slate.

My research says its 42 US Gallons per barrell.
They don't actually ship pil in Barrells any more, but the measurement still carries.

It depends on what kind of barrel. British, US Oil, US Dry, or US Liquid?

It is the volume of the barrel minus the volume of non-oil in the barrel.
