  Weird. I wonder why it’s a non-standard barrel. 50 gallon drums are the ones that I’ve seen the most.

    While 55 gal drums are the standard physical barrel, barrels as used for oil are their own unit, and oil is rarely in actual physical barrels anymore anyways. It’s weird, but it’s how the oil industry measures it.
