What does fuel oil equivalent kiloliter represent?

It is an energy unit based on the amount of energy released by burning 1 kiloliter of a designated reference fuel oil, used to compare and report fuel energy content.

Why convert fuel oil equivalent kiloliters to barrels?

Converting to barrels translates large fuel oil volumes into a commonly used petroleum energy unit for consistent energy accounting, reporting, and procurement.

Can this conversion account for all fuel oil grades?

The conversion is based on a reference fuel oil; variations in grade and density can introduce small differences that may require adjustments.
