What does foot-pound measure?

Foot-pound measures mechanical energy or work, defined as the work done by a one pound-force acting through a one foot displacement.

Why convert foot-pounds to fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US)?

This conversion allows translating small mechanical energy amounts into large-scale energy content units for energy accounting, policy, and industrial analysis.

Does the fuel oil equivalent value vary?

Yes, the exact energy content per barrel depends on fuel oil grade and density, so conversion values are approximate.
