How to use barrel in a sentence?

1. The IEA:

   The oil price in this scenario remains close to $50 a barrel until the end of this decade, before rising gradually back to $85 a barrel in 2040, in the low-oil price scenario, the Middle East's share in the oil market ends up higher than at any time in the last forty years.

2. Anton Siluanov:

   We think that with the (average) oil price at $50 per barrel (in 2015) ... we will lose some 3 trillion roubles in revenues.

3. Wang Tao:

   Brent oil may break a resistance at $48.80 per barrel and rise more to $49.53, as indicated by its wave pattern and a Fibonacci projection analysis, support is at $47.51, the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement on the rise from $45.59 to $50.62, a break below which will lead to a further loss to $46.78, the 76.4 percent retracement.

4. Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev:

   The situation is so hard to predict that we cannot be prepared for its changes in the future ... How should we behave then? Write one more stress-scenario in addition to (the oil price at) $60 (per barrel)? Let's do it for $40, $20 and $10.

5. David Katz:

   On paper, at $65-per-barrel oil, the deal could be executed well. That sort of is turning a blind eye to the fact that they're in a cyclical industry.
