Why does the conversion result in such large numbers?

Because one fuel oil equivalent barrel corresponds to a very large amount of energy, converting to the small-scale microjoule unit produces very large numerical values.

Is the energy content of a fuel oil barrel always the same?

No, the energy content can vary depending on the fuel oil grade and density, so the conversion uses a standardized approximate value.

What are typical applications for converting fuel oil equivalent to microjoules?

This conversion helps in national energy statistics, power generation comparisons, fuel procurement contracts, and scientific research requiring precise energy quantification.
