If we are talking about light sweet crude oil, a common grade of oil traded on the commodities market, it weighs roughly 7lbs per gallon. A common oil drum holds 55 gallons for a per drum, at a weight of 385lbs per drum. The "metric tonne", = 1000kg or 2,250lbs. The US uses the standard system who's term is also "ton" which equals 2,000lbs. So 2,250lbs / 385lbs= 5.844 drums per metric tonne or 2,000lbs/385=5.195 drums per standard ton.

How many barrels is a metric ton?
a barrel is a barrel... there are no different types. and for a substance to weigh up to a metric ton means it is heavy enough to weigh just that. therefore, there are approximately 159 liters in a barrel and 1184 liters in a metric ton. if that is true, to get the exact number of barrels in a metric ton, simply divide 1184 liters by 159 liters i.e (1184/159)= 7.5 barrels (approximately) in one metric ton. in the same manner, 100,000 metric ton is approximately 7.5 * 100,000= 750,000 barrels.
