n: (bbl) 1. a measure of volume for petroleum products in die United States. {A)e barrel is the equivalent of 42 US gallons or 0.15899 cubic meters (9,702 cubic inches). One cubic metre equals 6.2897 barrels. 2. the cylindrical part of a sucker rod pimp in whid1 the piston like plunger moves up and down. Operating as a piston inside a cylinder, the plunger and ~I create pressure energy to lift well fluid to the surface.

an oilfield measurement barrel is 42 US gallons or 5.615 ft3 or 6.28 barrels = 1 meters3. Note that reservoir barrels undergo shrinkage by the reservoir volume factor as gas escapes. Stock tank barrels are measured after gas escapes.

abbr: barrels of oil;used in drilling reports.

formation oil volume factor.

n: the factor that is used to convert stock tank barrels of oil to reservoir barrels. It is the ratio between the space occupied by a barrel of oil containing solution gas at reservoir conditions and a barrel of dead oil at surface conditions. Also called reservoir volume factor.

the number of barrels of reservoir oil that shrinks to one stock tank (surface) barrel after gas breakout and light end vaporization.

Formation Volume Factor.

the volume of reservoir gas resulting in one standard cubic foot.

n: see formation volume factor.

the amount to which a reservoir barrel of oil shrinks when gases are removed at surface. Reciprocal of the formation volume factor.
