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

It represents the energy content contained in one US barrel of fuel oil, used for expressing petroleum volumes on an energy basis.

Why use pound-force inch for energy units?

Pound-force inch quantifies small amounts of mechanical work in US customary contexts, such as work per screw turn or actuator energy.

Can I use this conversion for everyday energy reporting?

This conversion is mostly relevant for specialized engineering tasks and is less practical for routine or large-scale energy reporting.
