Everything about the Barrel Of Oil Equivalent totally explained

The barrel of oil equivalent (bboe, sometimes BOE) is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel of crude oil. The US Internal Revenue Service defines it as equal to 5.8 × 106 BTU (External Link). 5.8 × 106 BTU59 °F equals 6.1178632 × 109 J or about 1.70 MWh.
   A commonly used multiple of the bboe is the kilo barrel of oil equiavalent (kbboe or kBOE), which is 1,000 times larger.
   The bboe is used by oil and gas companies in their financial statements as a way of combining oil and natural gas reserves and production into a single measure.
   A bboe is roughly 6000 cubic feet (170 cubic meters) of typical natural gas.
