Why does the energy content vary in fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US)?

Because the fuel oil's grade and density change, the exact energy content per barrel can differ, leading to approximate conversion results.

Btu (th) is the thermochemical British thermal unit representing the heat needed to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, based on a thermochemical calorie standard.

Can this tool be used for regulatory energy reporting?

Yes, it helps convert petroleum volume data into a standard energy unit suitable for energy accounting and regulatory purposes.
