How to use barrel in a sentence?

1. Tomomichi Akuta:

   There are worries that Iran's oil exports could fall by about 1 million barrels per day (bpd) from current levels, the oil supply/demand balance is roughly in balance now, but it could turn to a complete supply shortage (in case of new supply curbs). Oil prices could rise at least $10 (a barrel), with Brent approaching near $90.

2. Natalia Orlova:

   The bad news, however, is that oil still appears to have room to go lower, and we believe that touching $20 a barrel is a possibility, in this case we would expect the rouble exchange rate to decline to 90-95 per dollar.

3. John Kinsey:

4. Le Brun:

5. Simms:

   The proverb answers where the sermon fails, as a well-charged pistol will do more execution than a whole barrel of gunpowder idly exploded in the air.
