BP Conversion 1

This document provides conversion factors between different units of measurement for crude oil, natural gas, and LNG (liquefied natural gas). It lists conversion rates between tonnes, kilolitres, barrels, and US gallons for crude oil. For natural gas and LNG, it provides conversion rates between billion cubic metres, billion cubic feet, million tonnes of oil equivalent, million tonnes of LNG, trillion British thermal units, and million barrels of oil equivalent. It also lists some calorific equivalents and units of measurement.

Units of Measure
1 metric tonne = 2204.62 lb. = 1.1023 short tons 1 kilolitre = 6.2898 barrels 1 kilolitre = 1 cubic metre 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 4.187 kJ = 3.968 Btu 1 kilojoule (kJ) = 0.239 kcal = 0.948 Btu 1 British thermal unit (Btu) = 0.252 kcal = 1.055 kJ 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) = 860 kcal = 3600 kJ = 3412 Btu

Calorific equivalents
One tonne of oil equivalent equals approximately: Heat units 10 million kilocalories 42 gigajoules 40 million Btu Solid fuels 1.5 tonnes of hard coal 3 tonnes of lignite Gaseous fuels See natural gas and LNG table Electricity 12 megawatt-hours One million tonnes of oil produces about 4500 gigawatt-hours (=4.5 terawatt hours) of electricity in a modern power station. Tonnes = metric tons back to top
