What does fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US) represent?

It denotes the energy content within one U.S. barrel of fuel oil, used to express petroleum volumes based on energy rather than volume.

Btu (IT) is a British thermal unit defined by the International Steam Tables and commonly used for measuring thermal energy in engineering contexts.

Why might converted energy values vary?

Variations in fuel oil grade and density cause differences in exact energy content, making conversions approximate.
