Barrel of oil equivalent to gigawatt-hour converter (boe to gwh)

Conversion Formula

1 boe = 0.001700 gwh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Barrel of Oil Equivalent = 6.12G joules
   1 Gigawatt-hour = 3.60T joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 boe = (6.12G J) / (3.60T J/gwh) = 0.001700 gwh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in boe by 0.001700 to get the equivalent in gwh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 boe to gwh:

5 boe × 0.001700 = 0.008500 gwh
