What is a Therm (US)?

A Therm (US) is a unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 BTUs commonly used in the U.S. for natural gas and heating energy measurement.

Why convert Therm (US) to Fuel Oil Equivalent @Barrel (US)?

Converting between these units helps compare natural gas energy to petroleum-based energy for accounting, reporting, and decision-making.

Can the fuel oil equivalent value vary?

Yes, since fuel oil’s energy content changes with grade and density, the equivalent value per barrel can vary.
