"The "bbl" did originate with Rockerfeller. Because of fraud and the different size of available barrels, he painted his barrels blue and certified that his blue barrels always had 42 gallons of oil in them.
Because he ruled the transportation part of the oil business in the early days, bbl became the standard measurement.
