What does megajoule [MJ] measure?

Megajoule (MJ) is an SI derived unit of energy equal to one million joules, used to measure work, heat, chemical, or electrical energy.

Why convert megajoules to fuel oil equivalent per barrel?

Converting MJ to fuel oil equivalent translates pure energy units into petroleum volume energy content, useful for energy accounting and comparisons.

Can the conversion value change for different fuel oils?

Yes, the energy content can vary with fuel oil grade and density, so the conversion value is based on a standard average.

How to Convert from Megajoule [MJ] to Fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US)?

Convert energy values from megajoules (MJ), an SI derived unit, to fuel oil equivalent per US barrel to understand energy content expressed in petroleum volume terms.
