What is the volume of one barrel (oil) in liters?

One barrel (oil) equals exactly 158.987294928 liters.

What does one attoliter represent?

An attoliter is an extremely small volume equal to 10^-18 liters, used in nanoscale volume measurements.

Is it practical to use attoliters for everyday petroleum volume measurements?

No, because of the vast scale difference, attoliters are not practical for common petroleum measurements and are mostly used in scientific research.
