About Oil Barrels
An oil barrel (bbl) = exactly 42 US gallons ≈ 158.99 L - established by the Pennsylvania oil industry in the 1860s and now the global petroleum standard. Global oil production, OPEC quotas, and crude spot prices are all quoted in barrels or Mb/d (millions of barrels per day); world consumption ~100 Mb/d in 2024. 'Bbl' derives from the 'blue barrel' mark on petroleum containers. 1 bbl = 42 US gal ≈ 159 L.
About Teaspoons
A teaspoon (tsp) is a US customary and cooking measurement unit equal to 1/3 of a tablespoon - approximately 4.929 mL. It is fundamental to cooking and baking worldwide: nearly every recipe in US-published cookbooks uses teaspoons as the basic small measurement for spices, baking powder, vanilla, and other minor ingredients. In medicine, over-the-counter liquid medications (especially children's doses) are measured in teaspoons, with 5 mL the standard metric equivalent used on US medication labels. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon, and six teaspoons make one fluid ounce.
