Ichthys Gas Field Development Project | Draft Environmental Impact Statement
Abbreviations and symbols for units of measurementThe units of measurement used in the Ichthys Gas Field Development Project: draft environmental impact statement are, in the main, those recommended by the International System of Units (SI). They also, however, include the following:• non-SI units that are based on the SI and are retained because of their practical importance (e.g. hectare, litre
• non-SI units that are recognised as having to be retained because of their practical importance (e.g. day, hour,
• various other non-SI units or specialist units in combination with SI units (e.g. decibel and parts per mil ion)
• non-SI units widely used in the oil & gas industry (e.g. British thermal unit and mil ion barrels).
British thermal unit (see Glossary)
