standard barrel is about 42gal, oil is about 0.9 specific gravity, or about 7.1 lbs/gallon, barrel is about 300 lbs

Current price of Brent crude is $67.57, per ~300Lbs comes to ~22.5 cents per pound, or about 4.5 Lbs/USD$.

So you'd have to give about 100+Lbs of crude for your pound of Uranium ore
