I BTU is equivalent to 1055 Joules.

With in the offshore gas production it is widely used to measure gas produce, with common conversions including:

 

  • 1 cubic foot (1ft3) of natural gas≈  1000BTU
  • Approximately 1000 cubic feet (1000ft3) of natural gas ≈ 1MMBTU≈  1 Giga Joule (1GJ)
  • Price conversion of natural gas – 1000 m3 ≈ 35.8 MMBTU and 1 MMBTU ≈ 27.9 m3
