A barrel of crude oil contains 42 US gallons and each gallon of crude oil weighs about 7 pounds. Two million barrels contains 84 million US gallons of crude oil weighing about 588,000,000 pounds. One metric ton is equal to 2,240 pounds, so:

  • 588,000,000 pounds / 2,240 = about 262,500 metric tons in 2 million barrels

a barrel of oil is 42 gallons, a gallon of oil averages 7.67 lbs in weight

so a barrel weighs on average 322 lbs or 147 kg

1000 kg = 1 metric ton

so 500,000 bbl of oil should weigh in the vicinity of 73,500 metric tons

**fuel oil weights are based on API gravities and vary between 6 lbs/gallon and 9 lbs/gallon typically

Regarding crude oil, 2500 metric tons would be just over 18332 barrels. But this is a very rough estimate as crude oil varies in density from a little over 0.7g/cm3 to a little over 1g/cm3 - making the potential volume vary by 50%.

Metric tons can't be converted to barrels. Metric tons measure mass, while barrels measure volume.

How many barrels of oil equal 100000 metric tons?

Slightly more than 720,461 barrels. A single metric ton = 1,000kg. So in 100,000 metric tons there are 100,000,000kg (one-hundred million.) A standard barrel of oil weighs 138.8kg. (See link) So, 100,000,000 / 138.8 = 720,461.095 barrels.
