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

Because the energy content changes with the grade and density of the fuel oil, which affects how much energy is present in a given volume.

What does mega Btu (IT) represent?

Mega Btu (IT) is one million British thermal units defined by the International Table, measuring thermal energy (heat).

In which industries is this conversion commonly used?

It is widely used in petroleum refining, power generation, shipping fuel supply contracts, HVAC system design, and building energy reporting.
