What are Gigaliter and Barrel

Definition of Gigaliter

A Gigaliter (GL) is a volumetric unit of measurement equivalent to one billion liters. This metric unit is not commonly used in everyday contexts but is essential for large-scale industrial and environmental applications, particularly in measuring substantial volumes of liquids such as water reservoir capacities or large-scale chemical production.

Definition of Barrel

A Barrel, often abbreviated as bbl, is a unit of volume traditionally associated with the petroleum industry. One barrel is equivalent to 42 US gallons, 35 imperial gallons, or approximately 159 liters. It is a standard measurement for crude oil and other petroleum products, serving as a benchmark for pricing and trade worldwide.
