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

It represents the energy content contained in one U.S. barrel of fuel oil, used to express petroleum volumes on an energy basis rather than just volume.

Why use gram-force meter as a unit for energy?

Gram-force meter measures mechanical work done by a force over a distance and is helpful in describing small mechanical energy quantities or for historical engineering standards.

Are conversion results exact for all types of fuel oil?

No, the energy content varies with fuel oil grade and density, so exact conversions depend on specific fuel characteristics.
