Oil is measured in barrels (crude oil) how many litres does that equate to when it is refind?

Answer 1

1.00000 Barrel = 158.98729 Liters
The petroleum industry refines crude oil to obtain useful products.
Hydrocarbons contain a lot of energy. Many of the things derived from crude oil like gasoline, diesel fuel, paraffin wax and so on take advantage of this energy. Hydrocarbons can take on many different forms. The smallest hydrocarbon is methane (CH4), which is a gas that is a lighter than air. Longer chains with 5 or more carbons are liquids. Very long chains are solids like wax or tar. By chemically cross-linking hydrocarbon chains you can get everything from synthetic rubber to nylon to the plastic in Tupperware.
Petroleum is also the raw material for many chemical products, including solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics. 84% (37 of 42 gallons in a typical barrel) of all petroleum extracted is processed as fuels, including gasoline, diesel, jet, heating, and other fuel oils, and liquefied petroleum gas;[1] the other 16% is converted into other materials such as plastic.
Now, taking all of this into account we can estimate that
84% of 158.98729 Liters = 133.54 Liters, which would account
for the liquid portion of product after refinement.

Answer 2

There are 42 US gallons or 158.9873 litres.

160 L of crude oil in a barrel.

Answer 3

There are 55 gallons to the barrel, so just under 220 litres.

Answer 4

It's 55 gallons but not sure of the conversion rate to litres.

Answer 5

55 gallons to a barrel

Answer 6

Nope! It never works that way. Gas prices goes up at the slightest hint of any oil increases, true or false. But it takes weeks for that to reflect at the pumps, if at all.

Answer 7

1 barrel [US, petroleum] = 158.987 295 6 liter
