Barrel (Oil) to Cubic Meter Converter

About Barrel (Oil) (bbl) and Cubic Meter (m³) Units

The oil barrel (bbl) is the most widely used barrel unit across the world, especially in the petroleum and energy sector. One oil barrel equals 42 US gallons or about 159 liters. It is the standard measurement used for crude oil production, pricing, and global energy trade. For example, when you see news about international oil prices rising or falling, the cost is always measured per barrel. This unit is essential in industries like shipping, energy forecasting, and bulk oil storage. The cubic meter is the main metric unit for large-scale volume measurement. It is used worldwide in engineering, industry, water supply, shipping, and scientific work. Many countries rely on m³ for measuring gas consumption, tank size, room volume, and construction materials. Because it is part of the international metric system, it provides a simple and consistent way to calculate and compare volumes. One cubic meter is exactly 1000 liters.
