Approximate Energy conversion factors Table:

 

Selling to the Oil & Gas and Energy industry, requires to jump from natural gas to oil, from power to physical quantities: tons, barrels, cubic meters, from British to international standards…This table wants to be a hand while gauging a new or an old project, a prospective investment or the purchasing of a new equipment.

 

These factors are taken into account:

Oil barrels, BOED, Tons of Oil, TOE / day

LNG natural gas cubic meters, metric tons per day

Methane normal cubic meters Ncm, standard cubic feet scf, per day or per year

Heat equivalent Giga Joules, GJ, or British Thermal Units BTU

Power in Mega watts, MW or British Horse Power BHP

 

Note the 6 categories:

Power, Heat, Flow, Volume, Weight and Oil.

They should guide you.

 

Assumptions behind these figures:

The first is that we choose absolute value. For Natural Gas, e.g., we choose an HHV of 55.5 Mj/Kg.

This is theoretical. No pipeline will give you gas with such a purity. But then you can apply your corrective factors, your efficiency factors, and come to a conclusion. The second is that we did our bet, both in researching accurate values, and doing accurate calculations. But you use this table at your own risk. However, if you discover an error, we will be happy to know and thank you in advance. The third is the basic figures I used. They are listed in the second table at bottom page.
