Gas volume units nomenclature SI and metric.
Petroleum Engineers typically use these units as per the below nomenclature and character case.
Volumes
m3 = a cubic meter
E3m3 = a thousand cubic meters
E6m3 = a million cubic meters
bbl = a barrel
Mbbl = a thousand barrels
(the “mish-mash” units of Kbbl is also used at Santos but is generally avoided.)
MMbbl = a million barrels.
Mscf = a thousand standard cubic feet.
MMscf = a million standard cubic feet.
Bcf = a billion standard cubic feet. (where a billion is 10E9)
Conversion Factors
The factors commonly used are:
Oil conversion factor from m3 to bbl is 6.28981100
Oil conversion factor from m3 to Mbbl is 6.28981100E-3
Oil conversion factor from m3 to MMbbl is 6.28981100E-6
Gas conversion factor from m3 to Bcf is 35.493710E-9
Gas conversion factor from m3 to MMscf is 35.493710E-6
Gas conversion factor from m3 to Mscf is 35.493710E-3
** Note that the m3 gas conversion factor takes into account a difference in the standard temperature base for measurement of gas volumes in metric and imperial units. The standard temperature for metric measurement is 15 degrees C (ie. 59 Degrees F) while for imperial measurement, the standard temperature is 60 degrees F. Gas undergoes a slight expansion when the temperature is raised from 15 Degrees C {59 Degrees F} to 60 Degrees F. This expansion is built into the above factor for gas.
