Why does fuel oil equivalent energy content vary by barrel?

The energy content depends on the fuel oil’s grade and density, causing variability between barrels.

What is the therm (US) unit used for?

It is used in the US to measure natural gas and heating energy, commonly for billing and energy rating.

Can I use this conversion outside the US?

Since therm (US) is mostly used in the US, further conversions might be needed for international applications.
